Symbolic codes are codes that convey what is below discern.
Audience interpret them differently based on their social, cultural, and religion-based
influences. Media producers utilize symbolic codes to depth and additional to
prepend profundity and supplemental denotation and/or connotation to a media
text. Symbolic codes are the discernible elements in a media production. They
connote meaning. They are basically the mise en scene of the movie. The
followings are some instances of symbolic codes that can be found in a movie:
setting/location/set design, acting, costumes, hair and make-up, color,
lighting and tone etc…
I analyzed the official trailer of the VALERIAN movie,
stating some of the different genre use. Preparatory to that here is a brief
synopsis of the trailer:
In the 28th century, special operatives Valerian (Dane
DeHaan) and Laureline work together to maintain order throughout the human
territories. Under assignment from the minister of defense, the duo embarks on
a mission to Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis where diverse species gather
to share knowledge and culture. When a dark force threatens the peaceful city,
Valerian and Laureline must race against time to identify the menace that also
jeopardizes the future of the universe.
I have identified the genres of this particular movie as
Science fiction, action, fantasy, adventure, from which I can infer that this
movie is more of a fantasy than a realistic movie. There are magical worlds out
there with advanced technology, aliens, robots, and time travel. These worlds
exist out of the corner of your eye, on the fringes of reality. They're part of
what defines the science fiction genre, and they're what we are to talk about
in our blog post today. The first film categorized as science fiction was Le
Voyage dans la Lune (1902) by George Méliès, telling the story of a spacecraft
being launched to the moon in a large cannon. The special effects used in the
film paved the way for future sci-fi films and became very popular after its
release.
