Creating Meaning in Images

A Representational Metafunction …is about the people, places, and objects within an image – the represented participants (RPs) …is about the people, places, and objects within an image – the represented participants (RPs) …answers the question, “What is the picture about?” …answers the question, “What is the picture about?”

Narrative vs. Conceptual Narrative-Structured Images Narrative-Structured Images Narrative images allow the viewers to create a story about the RPs because the image gives the appearance of motion Narrative images allow the viewers to create a story about the RPs because the image gives the appearance of motion Conceptual-Structured Images Conceptual-Structured Images RPs are grouped together in a specific way to present the viewers with the “concept” of who or what they represent RPs are grouped together in a specific way to present the viewers with the “concept” of who or what they represent

Examples - Narrative Action – story is created by bodies, tools, limbs placement, etc. Reaction – story is created by eye lines between RPs

Examples - Conceptual Symbolic – RPs are important for their message

Examples - Conceptual Classificatory- RPs as of “kind of” something. Analytical- RPs are displayed in terms of a “part- whole” structure

Useful Questions 1. Who are the represented participants (RPs) in my image? Include both human and non-human objects. 2. Are there are any portrayed movements in the image that indicate action? If so, what kind of story does this action tell? 3. Are the human RPs looking at each other, creating eye line meanings? If so, what does this tell me about the history of these people? 4. If there are no portrayed movements, what is the image trying to tell me in terms of concept? What types of conventional thinking do different objects evoke in me? 5. Is the image a complex one with more than one process embedded within it? If so, how do these embedded processes add to my overall understanding of the image? 6. In terms my overall idea, does the choice of image RPs best get my point across?
