Denotation and Connotation of Final Product

Denotation:

-priest pacing through church
-calm music in the background
-music escalates
-nativity set in flames
-fire
-satanic images

Connotation

The priest pacing through the church and the beginning connotes the calm and saintliness of the church and of christianity, and the calm music accentuates this. The music and the nativity set bursting into flames is a contrast to this and connoyes the destruction of a dominant western religion. The flames are an image associated with danger and death and therefore are one of the most powerfull images in the product. The statanic images connote Devil worship and Satanism which always strikes fear in to the hearts of god fearing people and even those who do not believe in God and the Devil. Satan is a prime symbol of evil, death, fear and everything else bad.
