For my TV drama, I have chosen a still from the series 'Arrow'. The still denotes the green arrow in a dark green suit being strangled my Malcolm Merlin who is wearing a black suit on a rooftop. Arrow is on his knees and both characters are facing away from the camera. There are dark high-rises in the background with small lights shining through the windows, which creates a setting that resembles a high class financial district in America. the location of a city in America may suggest an action genre since cities like New York are usual setting for action films and TV shows. In addition, Arrow is wearing a typical hero outfit, with leather and armor, which reinforces the genre. The central position of Arrow and Malcolm portrays them as the protagonist and antagonist,fighting. This in addition to the lack of address to the camera, suggests that they are in the middle of a fight and are in the climax of the episode.
This is a very confident first analysis, showing very good understanding of genre and denotation/connotation. You have included a wide range of relevant examples supporting your analysis with good detail. Well done. EBI: Check that you are including as many technical terms as you can across all four technical categories.
