The Hitman: Beautifully Executed

The hit man is being represented through on e of his victims as it reflects his actions and motives. In the mise en scene of the poster the backdrop has been immersedf with silky, seducing red, and the woman, which is the victim is shown on top of it. Through this we can intrepret that the red colour connotes blood but also that the victim is surrounded in danger as red could also signify danger. we can also observe that there is a gun shot in the woman's head suggesting crime and murder, however as this is the only sign of brutile killing it shows that the killer has no other intentions or motives. Stereotypically women are often shown as sexual objects, this is shown through the costumes worn by the female such as: lusty underwear and high heels suggesting that she may be femme fatal. The way the woman has been killed can arise enigma codes such as: why she has been killed?, what motives are behind it?
