Princesses and Posters
To begin to think about the conventions of Disney Princess films and apply this to
the Poster of Frozen.
Starter
• Watch the opening of Sleeping Beauty• Make a list of conventions (ingredients) that you’d
expect to find in all Disney Princess films• You should consider typical:– Settings– Technical aspects (camera/ sound/ editing etc...)– Iconography– Narrative – Characters
• Be ready to share this with the class
Choose one of these posters
• Can you identify any generic conventions?
Look at the poster for Frozen• Annotate this poster in detail commenting on:
1. Genre conventions2. Narrative/ themes/ characters3. Representation 4. Targeting and attracting audiences 5. Marketing( persuasive techniques etc...)
– Extension: also consider the mise en scene if you have not already done so (costumes, lighting, colour, body language and facial expressions, props, settings etc...)
– What do these connote? How do they appeal?
• Use a range of terminology throughout • Some of you may want to try a theory or two
Peer Assessment
• Swap with the person two seats to the left of you.
• In a different colour, add 2-3 extra points to their poster analysis
• Make a note of something you could steal for your own.
