The model form in visual communication backing up two possibilities: the audience will be able to understand any visual elements that display as it is constituted by language (Barthes), or visual communication, such as sign language and has put imagery, and create something of meaning (Kress and Van Leeuwen), to make room for the audience to ‘read’ thoroughly about what to say, like what otherwise is a documentary that free offerings actually. This study rejects both those views.

The semiotic system imagery is easy to represent the real existent (Halliday) and every experience we went through. The existence of index alongside the linguistic discourse allows the audience to understand every visual offering by linking each index with the actual state of the world. The implication can add further unique offerings and appeal over the documentary.
