Connotations:The Quadrophenia film poster has a youth representation that they all belong to one category and people assume that if they wear the same clothes as the people in the poster then they are automatically in this group. It shows a range of people and this could have the connotation that the group has a wide range of people and they don't have certain requirements for people to be part of the group, which then means that the group becomes more popular. They clothes that they are all wearing are 'stylish' as the 'Mods' spent most of their disposable income on their clothes, peds and drugs.
The This Is England poster is very different as it shows the youths being in a lower social class because of the background, the background of the first poster looks as though they are outside a pub/club whereas the This is England poster seems to be set outside of a council state which immediately creates the impression that the people are of the 'lower class'. The people that are shown on these posters are in cheaper clothes than the group before but still have a similar style as most of them have branded clothes which makes you think that they also spend the majority of their disposable money on clothes, rather than living standards.
