READING AND UNDERSTANDING ‘THE RABBITS’
The message put forward of the book is to show the audience a simpler story of the British (in this case the rabbits) settlement and how that made the Aborigines life painful and miserable.
Using rabbits as participants for the British conveys the message that the British were like rabbits, by spreading quickly, took over land that already belongs to someone, and they come in great masses to wherever they want to settle. All these points refer to the British a lot.
The images in the book are always exaggerated to make the image stand out, like on DSP 4, the ship is shown as an enormous thing, that looks like it came down from the heavens, also the colour in the image makes it look superior to everything else.
Colour in this book is one of the most important things of the book because just by looking at the colours it can set the mood of the scene portrayed in the book.
REPRESENTATIONAL MEANINGS
The double spread that I have chosen has one image that attracts my gaze, and that is the image of the exaggerated ship. It attracts my attention to it because, as I have outlined, it is exaggerated, by being exaggerated the ship has been enlarged to make it look like it is powerful, and superior. Also the colour of the ship attracts your attention because of it’s brightness.
Symbols in the text are ‘came’ and ‘water’. These symbolise how the British used to travel when they explored, it also symbolises the ship in the image. A symbol in the images are colour because it really gives a powerful message to the viewer, like in this image the colour symbolises the power that the British had.
INTERACTIVE MEANINGS
Offers on the DSP are the rabbits. When you look at this double page your attention doesn’t get dragged to the rabbits because they are offers, they are not looking directly at the viewer, instead they are looking in the opposite direction.
A demand in the image is the ship. It is a demand because it has been exaggerated to a certain extent were it has been enlarged to make it stand out to the viewer, it almost seems as if the ship is actually starring into your eyes.
The distance between the images and the viewer is very close, and the angle is low aiming up towards the rabbits, the ship and the rest of the image. It does this to make the rabbits and the ship look almost inferior to anything in it’s way.
The modality in the double page are high, the colours are bright and strong to show that the participents are powerful and strong. There is a lot of illumination in the double spread, balancing between dark and bright colours. The background of this double spread is very highly contextualised meaning that it is very detailed and very specific, in what it is trying to show the audience.
COMPOSITIONAL MEANINGS
The double page that I have chosen has a lot of informational value. When I look at the double spread the importance of the participents is determined by where they are positioned, e.g. the ship is in the centre of both pages which says to me that the ship is of importance to the image and message being portrayed.
The salient or most important feature of this double page is the ship. It is important to the double spread because without it you wouldn’t be able to understand the story being told by this double spread page because this page is trying to show how advanced and amazing the British inventions were to the Aborigines.
