Multimodal Texts

One of the multimodal texts I collected was the recently released trailer for Suicide Squad. The trailer uses visual communication in its settings and character design, linguistic communication in the individual quotes and writing for the credits/title, aural communication in the music and sound effect choices, spatial in the set design and posistioning of the main characters in realtion to supporting cast, and gestural communication to signal character development throughout the trailer, and potentially, the movie.Â
Another of the multimodal texts I collected is the confused man meme. This meme uses visual communication through the picture, gestural communication with the man’s confused face, linguistic through the use of question marks, and spatial through the posistioning of the question marks.Â
These texts are different in that the first one uses all five forms of communication to convey a complex message, while the second one uses ony four forms and conveys a more simple message.
