Textual Analysis

Textual Analysis - Film Poster
Visual Codes - The film poster for 'the business of recovery' shows a tablet or pill to be filled with money. This could suggest that to be successful in business there are precautions you will need to take which could either make you ill so you will need to 'recover' or will make you end up taking drugs. They have also used a blue sky to suggest that people think business is all happy and doesn't have any bad or rainy days where things go wrong. 

Layout and Design - The layout of this poster is quite plain leaving a lot to the reader's imagination and interpretation to intrigue the reader. The colours of the pill used are red and white, white being a pure colour of angels however red is related to blood, love and even the devil so this could show that the film has a split side just like how the pill has split with the money falling. 

Language and mode of address- The title of the film poster shows the name in the 's' to be a dollar sign which suggested that a main element of business is the money that comes with it. This also suggest that the film is based in america because of the currency used for the film poster. 

Genre - I would say the genre of this would be documentary as their are no stars names in the film poster which would suggest that there isn't a star casting as that it has more of a serious feel.
