The poster for the film, 'the hangover' has connotations that suggest it is a film about a comedy. This is anchored by the fact that there a man carrying a baby with massive sunglasses on and also the quote where it says "some guys just can't handle Vegas". This is also anchored by the text at the top of the poster which says "from the director of 'old school' which is a well known comedy.
Semiotics
The two characters on the poster have a close proximity between them which connotes that they have a strong friendship. There is a bright light between the three older characters which suggest they are the main characters. We see it is a comedy as the man on the right has a tooth missing and is holding ice in a tissue towards his face which suggest he may have been in a fight yet we are unaware of what has happened.
Mise en Scene
We can see all of the main characters on the poster which show attract their individual audiences. The lighting is brighter behind the three main characters an anchorage to those being the main characters. It says it is set in Vegas which is portrayed in the gold colouring at the top and the spot lights. It is stereotypical of Vegas to have big, bright lights.
