In essay form (1 pages double-spaced), provide a general description of your example of communication and situate it in relation to the historical period and sociocultural location in which it takes place.

Select a concrete example of communication that will serve as your object of investigation. It can be an example of any form of communication, such as a painting, a photograph, a letter, a speech, a piece of music, an advertisement, a phone conversation, a scene from a film or television program, a website etc. Since you will be doing a very detailed analysis, it is important that you select an example that is manageable. For example, if you are considering a film you should select a particular scene or sequence of shots to consider. For example, if you are analyzing a film clip, it is best to use one that can be found online, say on YouTube. If you are analyzing an image or song lyrics, attach a copy to your completed paper.
A. In essay form (1 pages double-spaced), provide a general description of your example of communication and situate it in relation to the historical period and sociocultural location in which it takes place. In short: what is it? Where and when does it take place? Who are the participants? Through what mechanism/medium does it occur?
B. In a two-column format, provide a close reading of the communication example you have chosen (2 pages).
In column one, provide a detailed comprehensive denotative description that breaks your example
down into basic meaningful elements. You should provide a detailed literal account that avoids implied meanings or interpretations as much as possible. (Catalog specifically what was said, visual elements and qualities color, texture, motion, etc.; characteristics of sound or other elements of perception).
In column two, provide connotative readings of the elements described in your denotative description. What meanings and association do the denotative meanings convey or imply. This requires more interpretation but still focuses on the immediate context and commonly available associations of each element. This connotative analysis is also aimed at showing the broadly shared meanings of the events. Therefore, it should not be based on meanings that the item has only for one person.
