Signifiers and Signified













What the audience see at first is the connotations and in this grab, we can the basic connotation as being a man cutting up an owl for food. The denotation of this is that it shows his desperation – an owl is animal that is not normally eaten but here the hero has to settle for it and there is nothing else available to eat, it’s also an extremely small animal and it shows that he is struggling to survive. The bow and arrow being right next to him shows how he always needs to be ready and that danger is always around and you have to be prepared for anything. 

This scene shows the anger of main character, he is stabbing a zombie more than he has to – he is angry at not just the zombie but the world and what it has become.
