denotations and conotations work

Image result for batman arkham knight

Denotation- From this game poster I can tell that the game will involve fighting due to Batman's closed fists and fighting stance. Batman also has a dark metal suit on to protect him when fighting. The tank/car is in the background with a turret. The poster as a whole is very dark

Connotations- Batman's closed fists and fighting stance tell us that there will be a heavy focus of fighting in the game. His armour suggests he will be able to take damaged during the game suggesting the game has the potential to be hard. His armour is a dark black showing us how the game will have a stealth aspect. The two stealth and fight combinations allow for any style of gamer to play how they wish weather it be fighting or stealth.

The tank car in the background tells us that there will be another diferent style of play present in the game. A racing and car battle aspect to the game allows further styles of gameplay to be achieved further allowing the gamer to explore how they wish to play the game

The film poster is very dark suggesting the game will be set at night. The darkness also has a metaphorical aspect which portrays the games story line to be dark and mysterious.

  1. Some good interpretation. Check detail -- is it a FILM poster or a GAME advert? Title needs to reference Semiotics please.
