PRINCIPLE-- Focal Point By Placement
Discussing FORM: What is the specific communicative strategy? Where is it found?
The specific communicative strategy found is focal point by placement. Focal point by placement is when the placement of objects leads our eye to one object or area. In the photo below you can see the two women on the left are pointing to the couple.
Discussing CONTENT: What does it communicate?
In this case, it could communicate a number of things. I wonder if the women on the left are jealous because they are not dancing with the man on the right. What if the women in the red dress stole someone else’s husband? Or the women could be discussing where the woman on the left bought her dress from. You wonder why our eyes were led to the couple below and what kind of importance or significance they have.
