Film Poster Mise-en-scene Analysis


This poster from Pulp Fiction uses the Mise-en-scene to its fullest advantages, hinting the narrative of the film with many props such as the book, matches and the cigarette. The book being turned the other way creates an enigma code which will perhaps unfold the narrative of the film.

The gun and cigarette showcase what the genre of the movie can be as guns connote to violence and action, this also signifies her role as the protagonist as normally males take the lead in modern action movies as she is illustrated to be a (that word) which the target audience of that film (males) will find interesting and therefore be attracted to watch the film.

The female protagonist costume only being black, with black heels connotes her as a deadly woman with fuelled up seductivity which entices the male audience into enjoying the film.
