I made notes over a PDF I found of 'The Rhetoric of the Image' by Roland Barthes, which holds some key ideas around the theme of imagery, linking to what I have been researching around composition - print annotated copy.
Pg. 1
The messages found within images are told in many different 'languages', so can be interpreted in a variety of ways. The semiology is dependent on the reader, which is a personal and subjective thing - linking to fantasies.
Pg.2
The importance and addition of words in relation to an image, they add further meaning to interpretations. However, images hold a multitude of signs hidden within them.
Pg.3
The very positioning of the objects within an image holds a message - composition.
Pg. 4
There are multiple functions of an image, when reading into the composition. Picture books - images can tell a narrative within them. The link between words and images, certain 'rules' are followed.
Pg. 5
Cinema evokes a tone and feelings through the consideration of aesthetics within scenes. The addition of language gives deeper meaning, however an image is more immediate and universally understood.
Pg. 6
Film uses dialogue to add deeper meaning, as well as action. To provide more detail, an image is more engaging to an audience. Images tell a different story to language.
