In class, we were asked to deconstruct a movie poster of our choice. I chose Martin Scorsese's, "Wolf of wall street." We were asked how the denotations in the picture are connoted. Here is what I wrote:-
- Man in the centre of the poster - protagonist
- Smug facial expression - proud of the chaos in the background
- Classy hair cut - expensive? Wealth.
- Not much text - Just the important information/important names (lead role, director) in bold text to intrigue audience.
- Expensive suit & watch - Wealthy my who is of importance/power/authority.
- Body language - power/authority
- Based on true story of Jordan Belfort (well known stockbroker) - Audience are interested on how these people live
- Chaos in the background - shows the madness of the film (comedic value).
