Induction: movie poster textual analysis.



Denotation: A poster of a man holding a whip.
Connection: action, adventure, advertisement

Mise en- scene:
Costume: the male/ character is wearing an explorer costume, which consists of a khaki shirt and dirty trousers; this suggests that the genre of the movie is action and adventure.

Props: this person is in position of a whip and a gun, which resemble violence and implies that the film will contain violence and that and that there, could be an enemy or adversary in the characters way.

Lighting: the lighting used in this poster is a contrast of high and low key lighting which contrasts and makes the character stand out.

Setting: the background of the image is unusual and implies that the film’s quite scary but the type face at the bottom adds a cartoon element to the poster, which gives the audience or potential viewers a different impression that it's an action adventure.
