Denotation and Conotations

Image	Denotation	Connotation
Still from Scream	A blonde girl, holding a phone to her ear looking at something/somebody through a window who is holding a knife and is wearing a white mask and a black cloak. She is dressed in a cream jumper, juxtaposition in clothes.	Innocent blonde girl in danger, is going to be killed by the person in the mask, they are dangerous.
Still from Psycho	A lady in a shower, wet, looking at something with a shocked expression on her face.	Something is scaring her/shocking her, signifying that danger is nearing.
Still from Gothika	A girl facing writing that is written on the wall, saying “Not One” in red writing. She is dressed in normal, plain clothing.	There is a message written in red which signifies blood, and danger suggesting death and murder.
Still from  Friday 13th	A blonde woman dressed in dark clothes stood in an empty car park, facing a man who is far away and blurred from our vision.	The man who is unclear seems mysterious as we cannot see who he is. The open space and the man suggest to us that there is danger ahead.
Still from The Exorcist	A girl with cuts all over her face, long red her, blood dripping from her mouth and eyes wide open that are just white and black with no colour. She is dressed in a white blouse.	The cuts on her face signify violence and blood. Her long red her suggests she is dangerous. Although she is dressed in the colour white which represents purity and innocence, there is a juxtaposition.
Still from The Ring	A young girl sat on a chair in an empty room, looks clinical. She has long black hair that covers her pale face. Wearing a very white, clean dress and little girls shoes. A wire is near her.	The young girl looking pale, suggests that she is ill, signifying that she could be possessed by something evil. Again there is a juxtaposition between this and her innocent clothing.

Still from Omen	A young boy stood in a black and white suit stood in between white crosses in a grassy field. He is wearing a black hat on his head, and he has his hands on his hips looking up towards this camera.	The stance that he is stood in shows us that he has confidence and power. There is a juxtaposition between the boys clothing and the white colours of the cross, signifying that he is evil, as white signifies purity.
Still from It	A person with a painted face and fang like teeth. Red hair and green eyes. Placed on a black background.	The painting on the face signifies the figure of a clown, there is a dominant use of the colour red signifying blood and danger. They have their mouth open looking as if they are ready to bite something.
Still from Halloween	A man looking over a staircase shot from a low angle, holding a knife and wearing a pale mask.	Him looking over the balcony and being shot from a low angle shows us that he is looking down at something and that he has the power and is superior. The knife suggests danger, and violence signifying that he is going to kill someone.
Still from H2O	A man with a very white, pale face who is looking through a hole/porthole and a woman with a terrified expression on her face. There is a blue colouring within the shot.	His pale face suggests to us that he is ill or dead, as it is juxtaposed with her rosy coloured face looking alive. The use of blue colouring and a porthole reinforces the fact that they are on a boat.

Victims in the images
The victims in the images are mostly women, they all look very scared and appear to be in some danger. Stereotypically women are seen as weaker than men are so they are used as victims in horror films.

Villains in the images
The villians in the images are mostly covering their faces with either masks or paint, to hide their identity and make them more scary as they are the unknown and different and also masks are a common phobia with people.
