Blog Post #6 - codes in drama comedies

 

In the movie Hitman(2023), there are codes used to communicate meaning. For example, the wording on the front cover of the movie uses a more brolic and bold font that emphasizes there being a "HIT MAN" and making the audience feel as if something suspenseful in going to happen.
the front cover also uses low key lighting on one side of the girls face to create suspense along with a text that says "HE'S NOT A KILLER. BUT HE CAN PRETEND." Which tells the audience part of the story and that the man on the front cover is not really a hit man, but a pretend one.
In the movie A Man Called Otto(2022) there is also codes used to communicate meaning. The bold and all capital wording tells the watcher that the movie is going to be all about The man on the front cover and that there is something interesting about the man. It makes the audience wonder "what could be so interesting about this man that he has a whole movie about him?' The mid shot used along with him staring at the camera also emphasizes the man being the main focus of the movie
