Media Log #3

EF1 Mrs. Co I was yet again scouring Google for my topic in my media log, this time a movie poster. But not just an ordinary movie poster, a poster to write home about. So searched for a couple of minutes for the perfect movie poster, however a movie that I had recently seen crossed my mind. The movie that I saw was V for Vendetta, so I used the movie’s poster instead. As previously stated, the poster advertises the movie V for Vendetta directed by James McTeigue. The movie was initially released on February 23, 2006, however I was disappointed because I initially thought it was released on the 5th of November. The film was adapted from a graphic novel that was authored by Alan Moore and published on March 1992. Okay now that was out of the way, let us move on to the description of the poster and the creative techniques applied to it.
The first thing that I have noticed was the color scheme. The color scheme primarily consists of two colors; black and red. From what I have read, red means blood, power, danger, and war. While black means death, evil, mystery, elegance and again, power. From these colors alone, I can deduce that the movie an action mystery thriller which I can confirm for the fact that I have watched the movie. Let us move on to the title. The title V for Vendetta consists of two key words, V and Vendetta. V can be the letter V or it could be the Roman numeral for five, V can be also a name. Vendetta, according to Merriam-Webster, is a long violent fight or a blood feud; it can also mean a prolonged series of vengeful acts committed to one opposed. From what I can put together using these definitions, the title might literally mean that V stands for vendetta as in V is a letter in the alphabet and you use the word vendetta as a confirmation. Or V might be a name for a character and the character is favouring vendetta. Well according to the movie, the latter
