Jennifers Body
Describe the font and why it's been used - How could it be interpreted by the audience?

It has san serif font,big bold capitals, looks worn down as it goes along the title to show the decay of someones life. The font used is simplistic and modern.

What are the dominant colours in the image? Do they convey a particular mood or symbolic meaning?

The main colours within the image are red and black these colours are used as anchorage to make us think of blood and  darkness etc. Red makes people think of blood, death,intense at the same time it makes us think of lust, passion and roses and poppys. Black makes people think of death, dark, scary. both these colours have poly-semic meanings.

Analyse facial expression, posture and clothing?

Her facial expression shows that she is in a sexy and seductive look. As she is laid back and wearing a short skirt and low cut top looking innocent cause she of the way she hold her books she also looks abit careless.

Describe the language used is it formal/informal is it clear or open to our interpretation?

The language is informal the majority of the time but has it hints of formal language "insatiable". This is informal because it is meant to appeal to teenagers, which it does if you look at the ratings in previous blogs. The synopsis is very clear and detailed so you know excatly what the film is about.

The DVD cover give a horror/ bloody feel this is helped by the colour used on the cover.
