The document discusses various visual symbols and techniques used in media to represent concepts like rebelliousness, power, and gang affiliation. Body language, camera angles, hand gestures, clothing brands, and close-ups are examined for the symbolic messages and attributes they can convey about characters. Groupings of people are also discussed for how they can portray senses of community and approaches to life.

2. The body language of
Novelists shows himself
putting his middle finger
up to the camera
showing a rebellious
attitude and reflects his
star image

3. The Dog in this instance
acts a symbolic message
as these dogs are tough
and strong which is being
transfere3d as attributes

4. The gang graffiti helps
to show me that they

mark there ground by
tagging their name

5. The low camera angle
here helps to show

6. The handshake seen
here in the mid-shot
helps to identify
normality through
what's seen to be a
handshake although
its adapted by these
youths again reflecting
rebellious
representations

7. The hand gesture shown
here is representing their
gang , Its comes across as
a regressive ideology of
these youths due to them
rejecting societies norms
and values

8. The clothes they wear are
all branded with Adidas
or Nike seen in the photo
we can use this clothing
in our end product to
hopefully capture the
conventional clothing
that they would wear.

9. The use of close-ups in this
production help the audience
to read the performers
expressions linking to the
music and lyrics. I think we
can use this in our final piece
to clarify our ideas that we
want to be interpreted by the
audience

10. The group of black youths
come across as fearful and
also connote a sense of
community between them.
The way they are all sitting
together shows a sense of
collectivism and portrays a
fatalistic approach on live
