Abstract
This study selects the all-cast poster of the movie Under the light as the research object. From the perspective of multi-modal discourse analysis, it explores the functions of text, color, composition, and costumes in shaping characters and constructing the overall meaning of the poster. The study finds that the all-cast poster, through metaphorical text, color contrast, narrative structure, composition design, and costume imagery, exhibits a mysterious visual style.
