The document analyzes the symbolism and meanings conveyed by the visual elements in a movie poster, including colors, characters, and compositional elements. It suggests that reds symbolize danger, blacks represent death, blues create calm, bright colors indicate love, gold implies prestige, and dark colors on the perimeter foreshadow death. Glasses and a mask on characters are interpreted as conveying physical impairments. The romantic relationship between male and female characters holding hands implies the genre is romance.

1. The colour red used on the
hood of the only character
featured in the poster,
connotes danger and blood.
The title is sharp and precise.
The word looks like they are
made of fire, this symbolizes
danger and fear.
The dark colours featured in this poster connote that the
film is of a horror/thriller genre.
The colour black
represents death. This
could foreshadow during
the film someone dies;
perhaps due to a
disability?
A disability that I
interpret from this
poster is visual
impairment as the view
is blurry/ fuzzy giving
the viewer an overview
of how people with a
visual impairment see.
Includes the year of release and credit block.

2. Credit block and use of star names.
Blue is the colour of the sky
and sea. The use of the
colour blue creates a
calming effect as it
represents tranquillity and
purity.
Glasses on the character
suggests he has a visual
impairment.
The bright colours
surrounding the two
characters connote love
and passion between the
two.
The fact the characters are
male and female and are
holding hands, interprets there
is a romantic relationship
between them; gives the
viewer the impression that the
film genre is romance.
Gold evokes the feeling
of prestige. The meaning
of gold is illumination,
wisdom, and wealth.
Gold often symbolizes
high quality. This gives
the viewers high
expectations for the film.

3. The mask on the character
connotes he has a physical
disfigurement.
The poster consists of dark
colours surrounding the
perimeter, the colour black
suggests death, which
foreshadows this in the film.
Use of star names are featured in this
poster.
The colour blue surrounding one of the characters is
associated with depth and stability. It symbolizes trust,
loyalty, wisdom, intelligence and faith. This foreshadows
that this character could be ‘The Hero’.
In the centre of the poster the
colours are brighter, this could
suggest hope and enlightenment
foreshadowing and decoding the
plot of the film.
