This clip detonates a woman on a bus, who looks excited to go where ever she is going. She looks rather funky, and stands out. Within this clip there is also connotation, we can see that she is going to a wedding as she has a vowel. However the rest of the outfit does not tie in with the “wedding image.” Although she has a vowel on and it symbolises to us that she is going to a wedding due to the fact she is dressed in a weird way it could also tie in with the “image” this could be seen as polysemic. The Wedding vowel LONG SHOT

characters within the film are going some where all together, as the bus can carry a vast amount off people.
