1 October 2012 - Representation


Representation


Mediation - taking something that is real, a person or an event and they change its form to produce whatever text we end up with.

EXAMPLE: The new Oasis album has been mediated; sound has been modified and the artists have been made to act/dress specifically to their sound.

3 Things to look for (Explained in terms of Magazines):
  • Selection - what’s been chosen to be included for the magazine as intended to be the most interesting news/info.
  • Organisation - the way in which the text and images are layered out and in which order due to the pages.
  • Focusing - what’s the main attraction to the magazine and what form of text is mainly focused.
