Textual Analysis

Textual Analysis

Today in class i learnt how to fully analyse a still image. First i went on google and found an image, i typed in 'Sinister' and instantly found a creepy picture, perfect for analysing! I then printed out my chosen picture and stuck it into my media book and then started to analyse.









I analysed this image by answering the following questions;

- What colours are being used? What emotions do they convey?

- Which are the most important elements of this image? How can you tell?

- How is light being used? What atmosphere does this create?

-Who is being shown in the still?

- How are they being represented?

- What relationship is created between people in the still?

- What background is behind the character? What does this tell us about the film?

- What are the actors wearing? What expectations of their character does this suggest to us?

- Who might watch this film?

- Are these typical elements of a film of this type? (codes and conventions?)

- What type (i.e. genre) would you say this film is? How can you tell?

I successfully answered all these questions underneath my 'Sinister' image and my analysis is complete.


I did the draft in my media book before typing it up on word.
