The Shining Poster
We looked at this poster of the film The Shining and analysed what it connotes and denotes. We can instantly tell the man is evil as he has a dark shadow over him and a possessed look about him. He is sweating suggesting he has been chasing the woman and his smile shows he is enjoying it. He is destroying the wall with an axe which makes him seem very dangerous and scary as he makes his way towards the woman.
The woman is surrounded by white showing her innocence and vulnerability. Her facial expression is shocked and horrified as she hides in the corner. She is holding a knife but it is not portrayed as a weapon like the man's axe; it is clear her knife is for protection and she is the one in danger.
