The light being shown on the main protagonist indicates that he is the hero of the movie and the woman, who is percieved as the villain, is being shown in a dark manner.

The cigarette that is being shown can indicate that the character has a well known presence for being infamous.The lack of face expressons can also indicate that she has a lack of remorse for her victims which is typical for a villain.

Scary Movie 2

I can infer that this movie has a hybrid of genres of both comedy and horror. I know this due to the iconography that the poster contains. Due to Buscombe's theory of iconography, the way the letter are shaped has a major effect on the overall poster; it has a overall decision of what genre it is. I also think that the storyline would be pivotal especially as it is a comedy film. Another indication that the movie would be a comedy film is the tagline. The fact that it states clearly that the movie is hilarious indicates that the movie has a clear ambition of the movie being humorous. I believe the target audience is mainly targeted towards the younger adults. The little messages on the shirts of the females have a seductive tone. These little meanings can be understood by a mature audience and I think that is where the target audience is.

Pirates of the Caribbean - Dead Man's Chest

There are multiple indications that the movie has a hybrid of genres of both adventure and action. This is because the iconography that the poster contains. Due to Buscombe's theory of iconography, the way the images are shown has an effect on the overall poster; it has a vital decision of what genre it is. The way the letters are shaped give the a poster an adventure-like look. Also, I believe that the storyline would be pivotal especially as it is an adventure film.

The colour schemes on the poster indicates that the movie may not be suitable to a younger audience. These images can be understood by a mature audience and I think that is where the target audience is.

Bride and Prejudice

The tagline indicates that the film is a romantic comedy where the two actors in the centre of the poster are supposedly getting married.  I know this because in the background, celebration is evident with confetti and a crowd of people most likely directed at the bride and groom to be. Also, the temple in the background suggests that the film is set in India. The poster for 'Bride & Prejudice' presents the film as being a parody of 'Pride and Prejudice.' Also, the blue sky in the background of the poster conveys the idea that this film will be generally happy like the tagline suggests and not be contrasted/juxtaposed by anything whatsoever. With the film taking place in India, the target audience is most definitely going to be towards the Asian culture across all age groups due to its similarities with the target audience and the more comedic nature of the movie.

Million Dollar Baby

From what I can see from the poster, I can infer that the movie has a action genre. There isn't a clear indication of what the storyline would be in 'Million Dollar Baby'. From what can be seen from the poster, it's apparent that the central actor would be heavily involved in sports with the attire that she is wearing. There may be some difficulty throughout her career as she progresses, with  The dark shadows cast over the three actors suggest that the film would have a dramatic effect that would entice the viewer's mind. The darker tone makes the movie come out as suspenseful. People watching this film are likely to be adults with one indication of this  the shadows, perhaps connoting that the film will have a more darker and serious tone in the entirety of the film.  Also, the movie may be targeted towards a sport-based audience as people can relate to her ambitions.
