- who - the communicator
- what - the tools of communication
- to who - the recipient
communication is either transmissional or constitutive (with limitations)
Shannon + weaver bell example
- a model designed for telephone, but can be applied elsewhere..
The 'noise' is something that effects communication e.g., if I were an agency with an advertising billboard communicating my message to my audience, and someone graffiti's over it, this would be considered noise.
7 TYPES OF COMMUNICATION
Cybernetic
-Spawned from a book by Weiner 1948
- semiotics - study of 'signs'
- semantics - what a thing means
- syntactics - how one sign relates to another
- pragmatics - how these signs effect change
This theory is a language (like medicine has it's own language)
It is useful when analysing anything visual
BARTHES
Semiotic pasta example
- red, white and green to show authenticity, even though it was produced in France. etc..
Road signs example
- taught what these mean, not instinctive.
- they are meaningless without cultural structures to give them meaning.
Phenomenological
-phenomenon - appearance of an object in someone's perception
- Actual lived experience as a basis for future opinions and thoughts
- Father/daughter relationship?
- Hermeneutic circle
- experience interpretation cycle...
Rhetoric
-persuasion tactics
- exaggeration - convinces us by making the situation seem more extreme
- use of linguistic 'cleverness'...
- personification - helps us relate by making it personally relevant
- Propaganda
cons - not complex enough
- forgets the 'receiver'
- Needs to be used in conjunction with something else
- Rhetoric can be applied to an image
Metaphor
-remembering by making associations
Trash can example ( power point slide fairly self explanatory)
Sociopsychology
- science, physical factors
- cognitive - processing
- biological
- behavioural - how people react in certain situations
Image and text are interpretted totally differently
Sociocultural
- how the world shapes us
- how social context effects communication
- student, asian, etc...
Critical theory
- unpicking the power structure.
