House of cards code and text anaylsis

In Grand Theft Auto the connotations are-
- Violence because there are images of the man with gloves and bruises on his face. The lighting is darker on his face than on hers. He has scruffy facial hair. 
- Sexualisation because the women are dressed up in sexual outfits. 
- Romance/lust because the girl is in red which means lust 



Note you are analysing the media language associated with the media text you must therefore also ensure that the three codes are analysed :
A code is a system of signs which can be decoded to create meaning.
technical codes – all to do with the way a text is technically constructed – camera angles, framing, typography etc
Verbal codes – everything to do with language -either written or spoken

Symbolic codes – codes that can be decoded on a mainly connotational level

The centre composition of the main protagonist characters and the characters towards the periphery of the poster are the bad antagonistic characters lurking in the dark. The set is full of nature which shows that it could be a film ab...
