Mise-En-Scene

Costume: Black hair, black dress, black shoes, this makes her appear mysterious and like a troublemaker. She is wearing red lipstick as well which also adds to the idea of mystery, as the colour red usually represents danger or lust. The fact she is wearing black heels also adds to the idea of her being quite promiscuous. She also has red nailvarnish and is led on a red bed which makes her look quite sexual.

Props: She has a cigarette in her hand, and a cigarette packet and lighter in front of her on the bed. She also has a gun in front of her which again creates the idea that she is dangerous. She has a book in the other hand which makes her appear smart, as if she would be quite a clever villain.

The light next to the bed is tilted which looks like she doesn't care about keeping her house tidy, or that somebody else has been in the house and messed it up.

Lighting: The lighting on her face is quite bright, making her stand out against the dark background, which puts emphasis on the fact she is the main character.

Location: The fact she is on a bed in a dark room also makes her appear quite sexual, it also makes her appear quite hidden away and sly as she has a gun in front of her.

Visual Codes

Shot Type: Mid-shot, making Uma Therman the central feature.

Composition: The composition is laid out as though it is a theatre(film) advert. The way the gun, the cigarettes and the books are all in front of her appear as though they are her protection, you can't get to her without getting past all her armour first. It also appears as though she has laid her personality out in front of her, which makes the audience get a feel of who she is and what she is like before watching the film. The title of the film is headed at the top of the advert, which allows for the image to be the main focus. Also the fact her heels are coming over the bottom of the title adds emphasis on the fact they are important to her character, and also draws the readers eye down to the picture.
Captioning: Above the title, it reads "From the creator of 'True Romance' and 'Reservoir Dogs' which will appeal to an audience who have seen the above films.  It then says the title "Pulp Fiction" which is in a bright font meaning it stands out, and the font is quite scribbly.
