Opening Scene of Contrast


Semiotics of Step Brothers movie

Semiotics are anything that stand for anything else.

Denotation- what we see when we look at an image.

Connotation- what we understand from looking at the image and interpreting different ideas from things such as themes, colours and personalities shown.

From this image of the film cover there are many different denotations and therefore connotations that can be made. In the image there are two grown men that are posing for a family photo. Due to their smiling faces you can interpret their relationship between eachother as happy and being comfortable in eachothers company. The two men are also wearing similar clothing. This could suggest that they are related or are interested in the same type of hobbies. The background behind the males is a blue. This could represent the peaceful nature between the two individuals and have a good solid frindship.
