Induction:Movie poster Textual Analysis

Dennotation: I see a man with a weapon
Connotation: It tells us that the movie will be an adventorous movie.(he looks heroic)

SETTING
He is in a cave/tomb

COSTUME
His clothes look dirty and ragged which tells us he's in for a very adventrous ride. It tells us he'll be doing a lot of seeking for maybe treasure.

PROPS
The guy is holding a whip and a gun which connotes that he'll be in quite a lot of fights and trouble.

LIGHTINGS
We can see that the lightings used in this poster must be low-key lightings because it has a dark compexion. The low key lighting must have been used because if he is in a cave, it has to be dark. Caves don't normally need light.

NVC (NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION)




  • facial expression : he looks very serious which tells us he's going to be a tough person to deal with


  • Body language: he's positioned in a rather 'statued pose' which makes him look courageous and have great authority. (his arms are postioned very tightly with fists closed to show he is ready for any trouble).


ANCHORAGE



The text of the title is similiar to to the text in the comic books which tells us the film might have some humour and it looks formal. I think that the text links in to how the character may act like.



CONCLUSION



Overall, I think the film will be an adventrous film and a comedy with a lot of fighting included.
