Representation
Main questions:
how are groups represented in your production?
Gender, ethnicity, sexuality.
Age, class, regional identity, disability, good vs evil.
Talk about main characters and locations - how they represent these groups.
Use examples of shots and write the effect they have on audience. Camera, mise en scen.
Did we convert/ conform to the stereotypes?
Levi Strauss: Binary opposition helping climax of narrative & works with our basis of understanding of the story. carol and aubrey.
Laura Mulvey: Feminism, male gaze : men observing women for pleasure (voyerisum). Referring to women as objects, women displaying themselves how they should be perceived.
Angela McRobbie: gender roles, media socialises us into gender roless- humans behave how they do due to how media tells them to.
Men = masculine, aggressive, powerful.
Women = weak, submissive, stay at home, mother, nurse.
stereotype of carol being at home being in charge of teen daughter.
did we challenge any theorists?
Representation definition:
the description or portrayal of someone or something in a particular manner. In this essay I will be analysing my film opening, which includes the representation of age, gender and class.
Research in class - looking at other film openings, analysing representations. EG Perks of BAW allowed us to look at youth reps in other teen dramas.
Rep in Untamed is age.
