Genre picture task

 

In this lesson you were asked to identify conventions of particular film genres and we looked at the Nightmare on Elm Street film poster. You were then sent in groups and assigned a number of film genres to apply the conventions through your photography.
Blog about the task and the conventions applied as well as uploading the photos.

Semiotics

This powerpoint will help you remember the key issues around SEMIOTICS and concepts connected to that. It includes the Glee poster which we looked at. Key terms we learned today include: denotation; connotation; preferred reading; oppositional reading; polysemia. Remember to keep your glossaries updated as you learn new terms!

BLOG TASK: Upload a film poster of your choice, and analyse the semiotics used within it. Remember to focus on the connotations of the images, colours, etc.
