Homebound

In class we analysed an image that contained what was assumed a family of 5 and their 2 pet dogs sitting outside on grass. We broke down what were the signifiers and signs/symbols associated with what was presented to us. The image denoted 5 human beings + 2 animals sitting down on the ground outside. Then we used formal codes (shot scales, composition,genre) and social/ideological codes (family, gender, class, sexuality, race, identity, nationality) to analyse what the images connotations entailed. Then we looked into what information the captions can provide and how it works with an image to create meanings.

P.S: After scouring the internet, this was the closest I could find to the original image.
