Semiotics of my 'unorganised personality' constructed scene picture
Producer's (my) encoded message of my shot.
The semiotics of my constructed scene are meant to portray the personality of a lazy, unorganised person who is not interested in school or studies. It is a picture of a table/desk with messy objects on it. Firstly, there is a Pepsi Max can on the table, displaying indexical reference to the suggestion that this person is careless about their diet. Furthermore, there is a phone and headphones which highlight the idea that this person is easily distracted and don’t take their attempt to work very seriously as they allow themselves to be drawn in to social networking whilst they’re meant to be working, and it also proves that they have a lack of interest with the subject in which they are meant to be studying. Similarly, there is a chocolate bar and a packet of chewing gums scattered over the table in a messy fashion reinforcing the fact that this person is uninterested in keeping healthy and has chosen inappropriate snacks whilst working, suggesting that they are irresponsible and lazy. Furthermore there is also 2 blank sheets of paper scattered in an unorganised fashion. From here we can see that the person is not a hard worker and does not put a lot of effort into studies at school as the pieces of paper lack any writing and is not lined either, which suggests that they are not organised with appropriate resources for school. Aswell as this, the fact that the pieces of paper are not organised properly highlights the fact that they do not care to organise their work. Similarly, the fact that the chair infront of the desk is set out diagonally and not tucked under neatly, emphasises the fact that this student is not organised and perhaps not very polite or considerate. Notice how the light is low key which furthermore reinforces the idea that this person is not considered as 'good' a student as they should be perhaps. It adds a negative atmosphere to the photo.
