PRESENTATION OF OUR SEMIOTIC POOLS Our goal is to analyse the Criterion Collection’s vision of cinema through the poster made for its releases. As a basis for our semiotic analysis, we have gathered a main pool made of 85 posters designed by various artists for the Criterion Collection, carefully selected by its art director Eric Skillman. These posters are used as DVD covers. Their main particularity is to always be different from the original posters made at the time of the films’ first theater releases. Though its website and various other communication medias reflect Criterion’s vision of cinema, the company’s posters are its most iconic visual asset. Indeed, after interrogating fans of the Criterion Collection through a survey, it was made clear that the posters were a significant part of the company’s success, combined of course with the generous content found on every DVD. In other words, Criterion offers quality content in a quality packaging. The results of this survey can be found in these appendices.

During the constitution of this main pool, it seemed fair to put aside director boxsets. These objects are their own mini-collections. It made sense to focus on individual films instead, in order to create a more diverse pool. As Criterion’s visual identity has been reworked in 2006 by Pentagram and Paula Scher, we have chosen to analyse posters made from that point onward. This subtle and minimalist yet invariable visual identity will be analysed as well. Our secondary pool gathers the 85 posters of the same films, made for their original theatrical release by each film’s production company or distributor, from its country of origin. The goal is to compare these two pools in order to analyse their similarities and differences as well as their own way to address their audience.

OUR SEMIOTIC STRATAS In order to begin our analysis, we have made semiotic stratification charts in order for aesthetic trends and semiotic formulas to appear using our two pools of posters.
With the Scenic strata, we tried to study the environment, the setting presented by the posters and more specifically if it established a context for the action or not.
Theses stratifications can be sorted into several categories: Scenic and Iconic stratas, Chromatic Stratas, Linguistic & Typographic Stratas.
We categorized posters with contextualized and uncontextualized environments. In the contextualized environments, we noted the presence or not of a character. In the uncontextualized environments, we distinguished three kinds of flat backgrounds : colored, white and black. During this process, we set apart environments made through photomontages, as they give out context clues in their own way.
In the first two categories, we paid attention to things relevant to the image and the setting. We observed if the poster uses an image taken from the film or not, if the poster is in color or shades of gray and what pictural technique is being used. For this last question, we have decided to limit the answer to 5 main techniques : Photography, photomontage, Drawing, Collage, Painting. Then, our attention turned towards the presence or absence of protagonists from the film. In cas one or several protagonists are present, we have questioned its technique or representation : photographic or drawing. Then we looked at the framing used, identifying three categories :
The chromatic strata is simpler. It helps us quantify the use of certain colors. We have broken down the chromatic spectre in the following way : Yellow/Orange/Marron/Red/ Pink & Purple/Blue/Green As for the shades of grey, we only decided on three categories : White/Grey/Black
Full-body framing, Half-body framing, face close-up

Then, we separated the Textual Strata into two sub-stratas : The Linguistic Strata, in order to study the content of the textual elements present on the posters. 6 types could be observed : The date of the film, the name of the Criterion Collection, the title of the fim, the name of its director, the names of the actors and quotes from the film. The Typographic Strata focuses on how the textual elements are presented. We first focused on whether or not the title treatment was the same on the Criterion Poster as it is on the original poster.
Finally, we looked at where the title could usually be found. We broke down the Criterion poster into 9 parts, 3 vertical thirds, 3 horizontal thirds : • • • • • • • • •

Then, we classified which kind of typeface was used, using the following categories and sub-categories :

•S erif (Typeface with serifs. Ex: Times New Roman) • Sans Serif (Typeface without serifs. Ex: Helvetica) • Mechanistic (Typefaces with rectangular serifs. Ex: Clarendon.) • Monospace (Typefaces where every character has the same width. Ex: Roboto Mono) • Manuscript (Handwritten) : • Pencil • Brush • Pen • Other • Blackletter (Manuscript characters that appeared in Europe during the XIIth century. Nowadays, as Roman characters are the norm in the west, these are mostly used in an ornamental manner for their expressivity. Ex: Textualis) • Decorative/Fantasy (Any character that has been enriched or featuring unusual elements. In the case of our posters, it is used to refer mostly to custom lettering made for the poster.)

As I started working on this analysis, I thought it would be interesting to conduct a small survey for Criterion fans, in order to know more about what they like about the company and it’s vision of cinema. Here are the answers I collected.
