Semiotics In Film Posters

Semiotics In Film Posters

Semiotics can be easily applied to film posters. In a film poster the designers of the shot would carefully choose what would be within the scene that they are shooting. This could be either a iconic setting from the film, a certain object from the film or just the actor in costume as the focal point of the poster. There may also be smaller details within the poster such as embers flying around the scene or blood splattered on the poster, this would be a sign that there was anger and violence within the film. Using semiotics within a film poster can help to set the scene of the poster making it overall just a better advertisement.
