Induction: Movie poster Textual Analysis

Indiana Jones

In this assignment the denotation of the image shows a man holding a weapon in a cave surrounded by dark and fire. Also the connotation shows that the man looks adventurist and it looks like theirs going to be lots of action involved. The costume his wearing looks very dirty with his shirt ripped and his comebacks trousers on. The props he was holding were a rope and a gun which straight away tells me that there’s going to be fighting and shooting involved in the film. The setting shows that it was based in a dark cave. The lighting is really low-key because it has dark colours and fire effects which show there’s going to be death involved. On the other hand his facial expression looks like his not taking no sense from anyone and his body language also shows that he is ready to fight any battle that’s coming against him. The anchorage of this image shows that the film could be an adventurist film and it also shows that there’s going to be lots of danger involved. Lastly the font used to write ‘Indiana Jones’ is kind of like comic book style so this film could have a little bit of comedy involved just like comic books.
