Annotated Images (Genre and Semiotics)

For the narrative genre still I think that the black and white one was most effective due to the fact that the colours are often used and portray a sad/ depressing emotion. One example of another media product that uses this effect is Adele "Someone like you" to reflect her mood which is important as then the audience can relate and reflect on her feelings.

The most effective performance still was the one with the white spots which is shown to be like a spot light on the vocalist.. This was effective as the light is often focused on the main singer which draws more attention which suggests they are of more importance and authority. One example of this effect used in a music video is Maroon 5 "Moves like Jagger"

The most effective spectacle still was the colour isolation one as the colour is really emphasised giving it more meaning. Another example of this is shown in Rihanna's "Umbrella" music video in which colour isolation is used to split the screen vertically to show contrast between the orange and black and white.

I think that the most effective intersexual still was the red filter which connotes lust and women and puts emphasis on the lips of the singer. Another video where this is used is "How deep is your love" Calvin Harris
