Image of Coldplay Analysis

Coldplay

Position signs: the camera and the viewer
·         The main focus of the camera is the man’s hand
·         All 4 of them are looking straight into the camera. 3 of the 4 are staring at the camera which conveys attitude.
·         The further the person positioned the more evil or angry they look which shows there is a bad side to the group as well as a good side.
Treatment signs: Devices of filming and of processing
·         The picture is black and white which shows that the picture is supposed to be taken seriously.
Content signs: objects in the picture and their placing
·         The members of the band are positioned in what seems to be who the leader of the band is. Because the first person positioned at the front of the picture is the main singer.
·         The men’s scruffy looks make them look like they don’t care what they look like. Which insinuates that they only care about making good music and not looking good. Like other bands concentrate on.
Meaning
The meaning of this picture is to outline the band and how it should be looked upon, and how they want you to see them. Also it clearly highlights that there is 4 people within the band and that is the way that it will always be and will want to keep it.
