Semiotics

For this task we had to upload a film poster of our choice, and analyse the semiotics used within it.  Focusing on the connotations of the images, colours, etc.

The use of the colour blue for the water can tell us that it is going to be a sad film. As the blue gets darker it shows that over time the story will proceed in sadness. Although at the top of the picture is shows light which suggests that things get better and that there is light at the end of the tunnel. The orange octopus at the bottom of the screen tell us that he is quite an aggressive character, however he is not completely red therefore he also has a nice side of him too. Another character that stands out is the blue fish in the middle, he could be representing the main issue for sadness. Most of the other underwater sea creatures blend in with the background. This could be telling us that all the characters have moments in the film where they become sad all from the same fish in the middle. The text of this film poster is in bold and is white this is because it stands out against the blue background.
