Journal Entry 9 – Interactive Meanings

Posted at 2:53 pm under Social Studies Term 1




Demand: On my selected page their is no figure gazing at the viewer.

Offer: Every character on my selected page is looking at the viewer as in the setting they are all at war.

Social Distance: The distance between the viewers and the characters are at a medium length away. The image however that depicts the Rabbits all standing in a straight line goes from very close to very far as the image is on a slight tilt.

Angle: The angle for most of the images are frontal as they all show/depict an action or scene taking place. The image that shows the Rabbits in a straight line is horizontal as they are all shown on the angle and it is a still panned image.

Modality: On the selcted page the text is in a white font colour which stands out a lot amongst the sepia background. It is very illuminated and real. The background is also very detailed and specific.

These techniques bring across the message of the book: “Might=Right”, in the following ways. Firstly the social distance shows the many Rabbits in a straight line preparing for attack and also shows how the natives are out numbered by a huge amount. The second technique is Modality which higlights the idea of the Rabbits being powerful using an illuminated text and the content in the text itself shows how they are no chance. Also the sepia background also introduces an idea to us that to the natives it was a hard time.
