Media Activity: Visual Recall - 6

In the "Thor" trailer, a number of characters appear throughout. Firstly, we see groups of workers in an office, dressed in suits, which represents authority and power. Next, we see a group of doctors in uniform - light blue, which connotes calmness. In another shot, we see a SWAT team aiming with their guns. They are all dressed in the same uniform, in black; this presents them as unified, and having power. The figure that we assume to be the main character is first seen with blonde, shoulder length hair and a scruffy beard. His untidiness presents him as a rebellious character, and his dark coloured clothes emphasise his confidence and importance. Warriors in heavy armour are featured in the trailer, also. Their armour has a similar connotation as the SWAT team’s uniform – teamwork and unity. Women aren’t featured a lot in the trailer, and when they are, they are wearing elegant Greek/Roman gowns with jewellery on. Their costumes present them as of a high class and importance. The only other women featured is the main character’s love interest, and she is mainly dressed in black, which suggests that she is mysterious, sophisticated and elegant.
