Semiotics

Semiotics
This is a study of signs. Also anything that means anything else. When we look at a photo and something spring into out minds, this is called denotation.
How we understand the image, other ideas about the image. This is called connotation.
Here is a poster of the film 'Dawn of the planets of the apes'. In the background it looks like the apes are zombies scouting around the area. The people in the front give us the impression that their will be war as some are holding guns. The first thing you see is the zoomed in apes faces which stair right at you and make it feel intense. You can see the paint on his face which looks like blood. His face is a scary stair not a friendly face. He is frowning showing that he is not happy. I think he is the main focus of the poster as he is the main character in the first film and he will how be a big part in this second film.  The old signs and all the broken objects in the back suggest that the world is all broken up and everything has been destroyed. Some of the people looked frightened to be in the position they are in. The old and dirty clothes they are in helps shows the danger they are in. The characters look cautions in the way they are standing.
