In this still image, the main character seems to be the man in the suit as he has a straight body posture which also connotes that he is a confident individual. The man has his head up and is looking straight, this connotes that he fears no one. The blue tie the main character wearing connotes confidence, authority and intelligence. The main character is looking confident and authoritative despite the fact that there are several individuals staring at him angrily. This may suggest that the main character is the protagonist and the people surrounding him are the antagonists. The type of shot that is used in this still image is a medium-shot. The medium shot was used to the audience can see what environment the characters are in and whats going on. In this case it shows that the train doors are closing and there are people on the left and right on the main character and they are staring at him aggressively. This could also connote that the main character is trapped with them forever even if he is trying to escape from them and it looks like the people on the left and right want something from the main character as they are looking at him aggressively. The colours used in this image are quite dull, this connotes power, fear, mystery and death. The female that is on the right of the main character and a hint of red in their outfit which could suggest that maybe there is some romance going on with the main character and the female on the right.2) Find three film or TV extracts on YouTube from different genres (e.g. horror, sci-fi, costume drama).
