What codes and conventions were used in these movie posters? and explain.
The codes used in the given movie posters are technical, written codes,
and symbolic code. Technical code, because as you can see, the posters have
different shot angles, like in the second poster, the camera shot is close up
because it only shows the entire face of the actor and some of his clothing. Written
codes refer to the use of language style and textual layout. As you can see in the
poster, the text written in there has a different font style, and it has multiple
captions also. Symbolic codes are what is beneath the surface of what we see,
some examples of this are clothing, color, background, and action of character to
show the feeling. As you can see in the poster, you can eventually tell the feelings
of the actors based on their faces. The conventions used in the movie poster are
camera angles, camera shots, text, and visual. The poster shows different angles,
also it shows the distance between the actors and the subject, in the second
poster the camera is near the actor that’s why it only shows the face of the actor.
For text, the poster shows different languages so that the audience can
understand what is being portrayed in the poster.
