1.2.4. Iconography
Iconography is actually the iconic things which appear in a film to indirectly communicate with the audience. For example, a film is considered as a cowboy movie, when on most of the scenes, there are a lot of decorations and goods which are related to cowboy, like galloons, hats, guns, spurs, horses, jails, and so on. These things become dominant, thus it becomes an easy way to describe a large idea mostly about the genre. Formerly, iconography originated in art. Art students discovered the color, composition, images, and technique of a painting to be paired with previous work by other artist.

There are still more, though, and they are ranging from costumes, decorations, objects, sceneries, and so on, and here they are:
by betrayal, Maugham decided to keep it painted, as by seeing this, people will learn from the mistakes (stain) and paint it into something new and beautiful. According to Edward Norton as the cast of Walter Fane about Painted Veil: “We often fall in love with the illusions we have of about a person rather than who they really are. That is the „painted veil‟ that is in front of our vision of the truth and when those illusions get torn away it can be process of disenchantment and pain.” Download 393.53 Kb.
