The band are
shown to be the heroes as they are making a statement and appear to be cool and
heroic to their fans. The villain could be anyone who tries to get in the way
of the band and criticise them and in this case they might be the owner of the
car.
Strauss
The binary opposites here are quite obvious,
there is the Rolls Royce car in a pool which contrast as the water is ruining
the car, another opposite is the band and the setting of the album. There is an
opposite of rich vs poor or well off vs less fortunate, this is because the
picture shows materialistic things such as a big house, expensive car and a
massive garden with a pool and the band are more stereotypically associated
with not having a lot of money, just getting by and being unfortunate which is
a stereotype associated with the indie genre.
Todorov
The normal and original
equilibrium would be the garden to be immaculate and everything to be perfect
and in place, the disruption is the Rolls Royce in the swimming pool which
shows the band causing controversy but being 'cool'. As there does not appear
to be any resolution the new equilibrium
is that the car can stay in the pool and that the band have succeeded in making
a statement.
Barthes
The main code seen in this album poster is
the semantic code as the audience is directed towards an additional meaning by
the way of connotation, for example, you would see this and think who did it is
an idiot and stupid but it actually portrays the band to be cool and very rock
and roll.
