multimedia analysis


Granpa-  John Burningham





  • Bright colours are used including yellows, greens and blues. This symbolises a happy child who is having fun spending time at the beach with her grandpa. 
  • The title of the book 'GRANDPA' is in capital letters in bold font showing the importance of the character grandpa and how the book is centralised around him.

  • Both grandpa and the girl are presented very small on this page compared to their surroundings, the yellow sand on this page is emphasised a lot more over powering them, maybe resembling how important grandpa is in her life. 
  • There is a visual rhyme throughout the book, the colour yellow resembling Grandpa and how important he is in the girls life.

  • The yellow colour gradually dies out throughout the book, grandpas yellow jacket becomes a washed out colour, this represents his old age and how he slowly is dying towards the end of the book.
  • The season is Autumn and the yellow leaves on the tree are slowly falling off representing how grandpa is about to die.
