Denotations/Connotations of film poster 'Hot Fuzz'


Semiotics
The denotations of this image are two male faces at a close up angle. They are both wearing a uniform and aviator sunglasses. The logo of the British police force is incorporated into the title 'Hot Fuzz'. These factors give a connotation of the men being police officers. The man who is closest to the camera has a stern expression on his face which gives his a look of power and importance. Whereas the man behind his shoulder contradicts his stern image because he has a look of confusion due to the lines on his forehead and his mouth being open. This also gives the image a sense of humour. The dark appearance of the image makes it look mysterious and intense.
