ANALYSE COMPOSITIONAL MEANINGS
Write up your Compositional analysis in your Edublog
At least one paragraph about how these techniques help bring across the message of the book
Information Value
The information value on the image Dps5 is front to back because the front has more meaning with the picture of how they want things to be and in the back with the buildings being built by the convicts.
Salience / Framing
The most salient object in this image is the picture of the buildings. This image has loose framing
These techniques bring accross the message of the book because the picture is saying that we planned to come over to take over and live there forever without thinking of the natives thoughts.

STEP 2:
- ANALYSE INTERACTIVE MEANINGS
- Write up your Interactive analysis in your Edublog
- At least one paragraph about how these techniques help bring across the message of the book
Demands / offers
Dps4 the rabbit in this image is offering for you to look at it.
Social Distance / Angle
The social distance is medium and the angle is low.
Modality
The realism is high and the colours are very bright and strong.
This brings accross the message because the social distance is medium meaning that we are not apart of that but we can relate to it in some way. The colours are very bright and strong to represent strenght wealth and power and the kangaroos are very dull meaning that they dont have much power compared to the rabbits.

1. In groups (or as a class) read The Rabbits
2. Discuss what the meaning of the book is
- What is the message
I believe the message of the story is that rabits came and destroyed the habitatof the other animals, and the writer is writing the Aboriginal story in a different context by representing the white men by rabbits and the aboriginals by using Australian native animals.
3. Make a list of some visual techniques that you think help create these meanings.
Eg: Colour, participants, setting
DPS1- The colour is very warm and welcoming. The setting is a dessert with a big rock this represents the aboriginals because the aboriginals have a very close relationship with the land and especially Uluaru. In this picture there is also a lizard that looks at home and is very comfortable like the Aboriginals were before the ‘white men’ came.
DPS4- The colour on this page is very dark and scary. The ship is the most salient object in this page meaning it is very powerful and it means business. The Rabbits are also very big in this picture and the rabbits have very sharp jaggered lines representing evil.
DPS9- This page is very dark and gloomy representing something bad has happeded. The page also has the rabbits up the top with their flags placed in the ground with one of the rabbits playing a trumpet representing victory. The picture also has the native animals with no colour meaning they are dead.
4. Discuss what you think colours represent in this book.
The rabbits wear black and red representing evil.
The ship on DPS4 is gold representing power and wealth.
On DPS7 the pictures are black and white representing old or memories.
