My Semiotic Analaysis of a Divergent Film Still


This film still presents an establishing shot of the overall setting and what the audience will presume is taking place.

The main protagonist on the edge of this building is wearing grey whereas the majority of the people behind her are in black. The colour black is often associated with the idea of horror and death. The fact that all of them are in a safe position spectating the main characters ‘jump’ may symbolise that they are watching her jump to her ‘death’.

The grey dress and simple style of the main characters clothes tells us that this person is very selfless and innocent and that probably the act she is currently partaking in is something unfamiliar to her.  The grey dress communicates that this person is very plain and the concept of a plain person is often associated with unexcitement in their life’s, living a very basic and conservative lifestyle and this kind of image is what we get from the main character.
