ReplyDeleteI will improve my work by adding some more details, and explain them what are they suggesting to me, and what are they suggest to the other people. Also I will support my points by different kind of videos or pictures like trailers, posters, film parts,or shots from the movie.
ReplyDeleteFor example I could show this Trailer:

And reffer it to the yellow/gold signifier.
I said that:
" Dagger is yellow shining, which is a quite unusual thing to see. This presents that the dagger is key item in the film, as yellow suggest gold and treasure, or something very worthy. Also it may suggest that the dagger has some special power. "
I could use trailer to prove it by saing that it shows in the trailer that the yellow is the powerful and dominant colour. On the very begining of the trailer, (production company logo) Walt Disney's palace is gold. Later on it also shows the palace, sun and finaly sand which is key thing in the film.
I could try to reffer my points to things like that for every idea i have written above.
