We are beginning our analysis of media portion of the class. For this we will be looking at how media affects us in our everyday lives. You guys just finished the first aspect of that: analyzing a movie. So, hooray!
Your assignment for Monday is to find a single advertisement that is in print (either on the Internet or in a magazine or newspaper) that has 2-5 people in it. Analyze the way the people are positioned.
Consider: what the people look like, the way they are positioned, their facial expressions, their stances, "movement," relation to other people/product, and what affect their body language has on the advertisement AND audience.
How do you think the people help sell the product?
Write roughly half a page on this. You can use the standard questions for this by considering the visual language of their bodies. Only look at the people, do not look at the actual words or anything else in the advertisement. Bring a copy of your advertisement with your response.
