Semiotics- is the study of signs anything that can stand for something else. We read images and pictures in an attempt to decode them and make sense of what they mean to us.
Denotation- what we see when we look at an image(what it is)
Connotation- what we understand from the image (what other meaning it has)
Red- blood, hate, fire, danger, love, passion, lust, heat
Blue- water, royal, peace, innocence, purity, sadness
Yellow- light, cowardice, electricity, hope, summer, happiness
Green- calm, land, countryside, nature , greed, young, inexperienced, sickness
The levels of each character shows there important with the women being less importance as she is crouched down below the other two characters. The most important character is shown by his level, by being at the top above the rest to show his authority and power. He is the most important person as he has a crown which related to him possibly being the king or royalty of some place. The next level down shows an almost identical image just without the crown his shows he could be related as the hair and face is identical which shows they could be related. The small blacked out characters at the bottom of the poster shows they are mysterious and dark characters who are all quite similar as they are seen to be at the same level. This could be a selection of bad people who want to hide or attack. The dark wolf's symbolism dark creatures that are dangerous. The black does this as you cannot see what attacks you and this could show that the wolf's are so quick that pass in a black flash which ultimately resembles to danger. The props the characters are holding shows this is an action packed film and that these characters are dangerous and are not afraid to kill. The women shows innocence though as girls are not usually seen to be violent.
