Final Film Opening

Denotations and Connotations



This is the poster for the third series of Geordie Shore which is set in Cancun as you can see in the red border. It is a modern programme in which a set of 9 lads and lasses from Newcastle are put in a house which results in arguments, drama and a lot of drunk and sexual behaviour.

Denotations: A group of young people standing on a beach in a hot country.

Connotations: We can see that each character standing on the beach is individual as they are all wearing different clothes and standing in different postures and positions. In contrast we can see that they are a close group of friends as they all stand close together with some characters leaning and putting their arms on or around other characters. In the middle of the picture we can see one of the lads sitting in a wheelchair with a cast around his leg which shows us that while the group of friends are in Cancun, this particular character has injured his leg through immature behaviour. We can see this as he seems to be wearing tight blue jeans and a red cape, a sort of superhero costume. This would deem to be immature so we can see that the injury on his leg has been self inflicted. We therefore presume that the rest of the group are also immature and this is further backed up when we can see the lass on the far left is holding a pinhata.
