In this poster we see two men standing back to back to each other holding guns. This gives us the impression that they are either two police men or two villains that aren't meant to be there. In the background it says 'Senior ... Prom' we cant see the word in the middle but we guess that its something like 'class'. The two men are both wearing matching prom suits and with the banner and decorations we can con-notate that they are at a prom. At the very top of the poster it reads 'the only thing getting blown tonight is their cover' again, we now understand that they are in fact undercover policemen and not at school. They are both looking straight at the camera as if they were about to shoot us. The expressions on there faces are very serious, as if something important is going to happen. The title is in 3D and jumps out at us.
You choose a potentially interesting poster Megan, and do pick out features. However, most of what you discuss is focussed on denotations, not connotation. You must analyse in much more depth, and go far beyond the obvious. Saying that wearing prom suits means that they are at a prom is not particularly in depth..
