textual analysis

walking dead: screen shot analysis 
Genre: Fantasy drama I know this because zombies are in the picture which are not real implying it has been made up purely for entertainment. 
the facial expressions on the woman show anger and that she is ready to kill this is also highlighted by the weapon (prop) in her hand. She is dragging the weapon backwards to show she is going to take action. This image is most likely a moving shot, this is shown by her hair which seems to be moving as if she is using a lot of power. Their is blood on her hands which suggests she has been violent before. This implies her character is a strong and powerful female however as a result of this she has lost all femininity and innocence. Her clothing is dark and boyish which isn't very flattering to her body. This again shows her as losing her womanly side due to violence. Furthermore the clothing she is wearing is also very dark colours which could connate a dark and violent personality. The positioning of the man shows us he is not alive as this is a typical zombie stance. we can see others in the background dressed in blue which separate the zombies from the humans. The zombies seem to be on one side, whereas the humans seem to be on the opposite side this could emphasise the conflict between them and show warfare. The setting is outside of a prison which shows evil and cruelty. In this image there are many weapons such as a gun, a knife and archery. These all imply death and murder. finally we can see she is the only woman in this picture which suggest men are mainly involved in warfare and evil and woman are typically innocent and pure however this woman seems to be doing a lot of the fighting showing a powerful side to women.
