3b. Reading Film Posters

STARTER: Look at this poster. What clues (CODES) are there as to what GENRE of film it is and what the PLOT might be?

TASK: Find this poster on the internet and LIST around it what is denoted and what is connoted in this film poster. Denoted = What you actually see; Connoted = what are the possible meanings of what you see. Consider: Characters (consider body language, facial expressions, size, costumes & props); Genre (consider images & text); narrative (storyline); chromatic (colour scheme).

TASK 2: Choose a film poster you like and repeat the above process, try to choose a NON ACTION film poster if you can.

REFLECTION: How are film PROMOTIONAL POSTERS like film TRAILERS?
