In this assignment I am going to analyse this Indiana Jones front cover.
The main character is wearing a rugged shirt which is also covered in dirt and it looks like the top 2 buttons are broken. This connotes that he has just been in a rough battle which has caused him too lose some buttons and to dirty he’s clothes. His sleeves are rolled up. People normally roll their sleeves up before they have a fight or when they are about to do something that they are not meant to.
The main character is wearing an authentic hat which connotes that this is set in the past. He has a gun on his belt which shows he is ready for action and is also ready to defend himself for whatever comes to attack him. The gun connotes death and shows clearly that this is an action adventure movie and also the fact that he is holding a whip shows he has been giving a few things a beat down.
This is set in a dark room almost as if it is in a cave of some sort, which shows he may be getting it to some danger. The stairs show that he is at the bottom and is trying to climb to the top and the skull behind him shows there is going to be some trouble in order to get up there. Also there is some ancient carving on the side of the cover which shows that it is going to have some past educational facts in the film.
Behind the main character is a skull which is on fire which juxtaposes the dark image with the skull lighting up, which makes the skull stand out. Also at the bottom of the stairs is dull and dark and at the top it is light this shows that at the top has the higher status than the bottom.
The main characters fist are clenched tight which shows that he is ready for a fight. Also he’s body language is very upright and not fragile which shows that he is confident that he can overcome what ever obstacle is in his way. Finally he’s stance is very strong which shows he wont fall down easily.
