The form of this media is a poster to advertise the film "PIRANHA". The picture gives us an imagery of what will happen in the film: the piranha's will eat everyone. The style of art which is used makes the advertisement of the film look old which tells us that this film is old. The woman on top of the water can foreshadow tat in the film there will be a "Damsel in Distress" The feature of the Piranha is over exaggerated which can symbolize its deadlines. The female will attract a big male audience as men like to see a "fit" girl in a horror movie. " Least River Lake was a thriving resort until they discover" the verb "was" emphasis the fact that the piranha will do something bad.
The form of this media is a magazine front cover. The colors of the front cover is very vibrant and girly which will attract a female audience. The title "heat" suggests tension between two people as it creates "heat". This magazine is clearly made for women as it informs the reader about weight loss- and women are very self conscious so they would want to read about stuff like this. The hearts attracts the female audience. The company uses "perfect" pictures of the celebrities to make the readers more self-conscious and they'll be tempted to read the "weight loss" article. The company also concentrates on some of the biggest stars during that time period which will have a lot of fans therefore the fans would buy this magazine to read about their favorite celebrities.
The form of this media is a CD front cover. The guy in the picture is holding a treasure chest and he is looking into it it like there is treasure in it, this can foreshadow that the CD is treasure. The background is very random as there is a miniature house on the chest of draws. The guy is dressed simplistically which can tell us that the genre of music is very simple like Reggae.The box is red which stands out straight away, this could be because he wants us to read the description of his CD. The name of the band/artist is in a large font this makes it easier for us to spot the CD if we were looking for it. The album is called " One plus One is One" which highlight how simple the album is. The repetition of "One" could be a secret meaning, saying that this is the "one" album you need to listen to
The type of media is a comic. Instantly it catches your eye as there is a lot of colors, but the colors are very bland sit is aimed at older children e.g. teens.

The civilians on the second frame are dark which suggests they are in pain.
