3 still images




The props of the spear and shield connote war and bloodshed. This shows the audience that this film is an action film. Also, the low-key lighting on the man's face connotes that he's a mysterious character. The colours of red and black further connotes war and bloodshed which really implicates the genre of action. The costume of just a cape set the time period of the Romans as the cape was really fashionable back then. The facial expression of the protagonist grimacing also indicates the idea of war and bloodshed. As there is a character positioned in front of everyone else, I can tell that he is the leader also the protagonist.



The setting in this sill image is unknown. This is because the background seems to be blurred out and the focus of the camera is on the man. The prop of the necklace or amulet create enigma codes as it makes the audience generate question like, what is it and what does it do so it creates a sense of mystery. The lighting in this still image is low-key which further creates a sense of mystery as we, as the audience, start questioning this character and whereabouts. The turquoise green colour hair could show the reader that this character is far from normal as the implication of green hair is an eccentric individual. The facial expression of the character seems to be worry and anxiety. This could also mean that there is a binary opposition. By him holding the necklace in the way he is, it shows how it important. By the necklace being positioned sort of in the middle of the image, it further signifies that it is important.



The setting of them seeming to be in a basement could show that they're hiding. This creates questions within the audience because the setting they're in is ambiguous. The props of the maps behind them and exotic drawings show that they are away from home, that they're in an unfamiliar environment. The high-key lighting shows that they're in the day and possibly the action is resolving as the sun is out which can suggest things are getting better. The dull-grey colour of the jacket connotes that the character was previously hiding and had been somewhere else as his attire doesn't seem to match the sunny weather. The grazes on the dude's face hints that he had previously been fighting. This could show that this film is an action film. However, by the positioning of the boy and girl facing each other and being fairly close, it connotes that they are in a relationship which means that this film is a hybrid between romance and action. The expression of the two characters' face, looking into each others eyes, also show implicates that that they're in a relationship.
