Iconography is the collective term for visual motifs and style in a film. This includes dress codes and conventions (such as pin-stripe suits for gangster movies). Because it is a visual medium, color also plays a role in signification, and historical examples include the traditional black slinky dress for the femme fatale of film noir, and the lighter colors of the lawman hero in westerns.
