Comedy Movie Poster Annotation

Genre: The genre of this poster is a comedy/spoof.

Codes & Conventions:

  1. Make the audience laugh

  2. Sticking to theme of a spoof of another film

  3. It also expects that the people who watch the film to have watched the films it makes fun of, otherwise the audience wouldn't get the jokes.
Denotative Levels:

  • His Dragonfly Logo meaning his logo isn't a great animal so meaning he isn't as strong possibly.
  • The popcorn on the poster is associated with the main superhero suggesting he's a normal everyday casual guy and not a strong brave dedicated superhero like the rest.


Connative Levels: 
  • The spoofs of different types of superhero's suggesting there all bad, meaning they aren't proper superhero's.
  • The quote ' the greatest superhero movie of all time(not including the others) ' this just says it all, it's sarcasm highlights how bad it is.

Audience:

The selected audience for this film would be fans of superhero movies, because it is a superhero movie, although it is a spoof, so lovers of films such as Scary Movie, Not another Teen Movie and etc.... would enjoy this, they would expect explosions, fights, a pretty girl and a super villian but because it's a spoof they'd expect a really bad superhero, a stupid super hot girl, and a super villian that tries to be bad but isn't cut for the job.
