Iconography


Iconography is an important part of films as it allows people to instantly understand what genre of film it is. In football hooligan films there are a lot of things that all feature in iconography. One example of this is clothing such as Stone Island, North Face, Pretty Green, Ralph Lauren, Adidas and many more, this is because these are all common brands that are associated with football hooligans and when these brands appear in films you know that the characters are apart of this culture.

 

Another part of iconography are the football teams badges. This is because obviously football is a huge part of this culture and the teams are the reason people are fighting. This makes the teams badges very recognisable for football hooligan films and allows people to instantly identify the film as having to do with football and then with the other iconography with the clothes people recognise it as being a football hooligan film.

This is something we are definitely going to include in our film as we want people to understand straight away what genre of film they are watching and iconography is extremely useful in doing this.
