•Download as PPTX, PDF•
0 likes•128 views
The document discusses how a film opening represents different social groups through iconography, props, costumes, settings, camera angles, and makeup. For teenagers, it uses a laptop, a group at prom in the background, and a male in a hoodie and backwards cap to represent stereotypes of teens being lazy, modern, and potentially deviant. For middle-aged people, it subverts stereotypes by showing a man dangerously handling an axe. It also subverts teen stereotypes by setting a scene in the countryside rather than urban area. For males, it uses a low camera angle to represent dominance but subverts norms by showing the character with long hair.

Curious Case of Benjamin Button
This document discusses the film adaptation of the short story "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in three main points:
1. The film expands greatly on the short story, telling the entire life story of the character Benjamin Button over 166 minutes compared to the original short story.
2. The film revises the character of Benjamin to be less complex than in the short story by focusing more on his love story with Daisy rather than solely on Benjamin.
3. The adaptation takes some imitation of updating aspects of the source material like setting parts of the story during Hurricane Katrina in 2005 but refuses to change other classic elements, resulting in a messy narrative.
Comedy Genre Conventions
This document outlines several conventions of comedy genre films. Comedies are typically set in suburban areas like schools and bars that are happy and sunny. They use natural lighting and a range of shots. Common visual styles include modern colors and props like beer and drugs. The narrative follows multiple protagonists dealing with disruption, attempting repair, and achieving a new equilibrium. Character types include idiot protagonists, villains, and people who seem good but betray the group. Themes include good vs bad, idiocy, drinking, and friendship.

Elements of a short story with cinderella examples (1)
The document discusses the key elements of short stories using the classic tale "Cinderella" as an example. It defines elements like setting, characters, point of view, theme, plot, conflict, and the five stages of plot. The setting of "Cinderella" is a kingdom long ago ruled by a king and queen. The main characters are Cinderella, her stepsisters, and the prince. The story is told from a third-person omniscient point of view. The theme is that good things come to those who are patient. The conflict is between Cinderella and her cruel stepsisters, and the five stages of plot in the story are outlined.
Plot And Setting
The document discusses the key elements of plot structure and setting in storytelling. It explains that a typical plot has four parts: the exposition, which introduces the main character and conflict; complications that arise; the climax, or most suspenseful moment; and the resolution. It also discusses how setting, mood, tone, character, and internal/external conflicts are important for establishing the context and emotional impact of a story. Setting can reveal important details like time period, location, and cultural norms.
Short Story Terms
This document defines and explains various terms related to short stories, including:
- A short story is a brief work of fiction where the main character faces and resolves a conflict that drives the plot.
- Characters can be round or flat, and static or dynamic. Characterization is how authors develop characters through direct or indirect means.
- The protagonist is the main character who changes the most due to experiences. The antagonist opposes the protagonist and does not change. Conflicts can be internal or external.
- The plot consists of exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution. It presents a series of related events involving complications that build to a turning point.
Representation
Representation can take the form of one thing standing for another. Representation in media often focuses on how social groups are portrayed, using stereotypes. Stereotypes exaggerate and overgeneralize certain traits of social groups. While stereotypes may be based on some truths, they ignore individual variation and can have negative connotations. Representation and stereotypes of women, minorities, and age are common topics of analysis in media studies.

Creep
This document outlines the plot, characters, and production details for a proposed torture porn film titled "Creep". The plot involves a group of teenage friends at a lake house who are stalked and killed one by one by the psycho killer Graham. Key characters include Graham, the killer who dresses in disguises; Mia, the main female victim; and Bill, a friend who fails to save her. The film is proposed to include graphic torture scenes, dim lighting, disjointed editing and incorporation of diegetic music to create suspense and horror.
TV Drama - Representation
The document discusses the concept of mediation in media texts. It explains that every media text represents a version of reality rather than reality itself, as the media takes real people and events and changes them into the final media product. It provides the example of a comedy show being mediated through repeated rehearsals and editing to produce the half hour broadcast. Representation is then discussed as how groups, individuals, or social changes are portrayed in the media through subjective rather than objective constructions. Any representation is a mixture of the thing itself, the opinions of its creators, individual reactions, and the social context. Key points to consider with TV drama representations are what is represented, how, who is responsible, and how it can be interpreted. Ster

Stereotype countertype lesson
The document discusses stereotypes in TV drama and how they have changed over time. Stereotypes are often used as shorthand for stock characters but some now seem inappropriate or awkward. For example, minorities like homosexuals and ethnic groups were depicted in ways that would not be tolerated today. The document also examines stereotypical characteristics assigned to different sexes and whether those stereotypes are still relevant. It considers whether stereotypes simplify, exaggerate or generalize groups and if this matters. The implications of stereotypes, both positive and negative, are discussed.
Elements of the oral presentation
This document provides guidance for oral presentations on chapters from a novel in a Chicano literature class. It outlines that each group will have 3 presenters who will discuss: I) a summary of events; II) interpretive aspects like plot, character, theme and point of view; and III) stylistic features used by the author. It provides details on the types of information that should be presented for each chapter's plot points, characters, theme, and other literary devices.

Chapter three creating the dramatic script power point
The document discusses the key elements in developing a theatre production, including selecting a subject matter, determining focus, establishing purpose, and developing dramatic structure. It also covers creating dramatic characters and establishing the point of view. Different forms of dramatic structure are examined, such as climactic, episodic, ritual, and experimental structures. Various types of dramatic characters are also outlined.
C3 powerpoint analyses
The document analyzes several magazine covers, noting key visual elements and design choices for each. Common themes identified across covers include dynamic poses and actions to convey excitement, limited color palettes for cohesion, and stylized fonts relating to the featured content. Representations of characters and intended tones are also discussed.
Narrative theory
Todorov's narrative theory suggests all stories follow a five-part structure: equilibrium, disruption, recognition of disruption, attempts to repair disruption, return to equilibrium. This structure is seen in a Friends episode where the equilibrium is visiting a childhood home, disrupted when childhood items are destroyed, leading to attempts to repair the disruption and a return to equilibrium. Propp's character theory includes the hero, villain, donor, princess, and helper archetypes seen in Harry Potter with Harry as the hero and Voldemort the villain. The hypodermic needle theory argues media directly influences passive audiences but has been criticized as outdated given modern research abilities.
Family comedy sub genre
This document summarizes common elements of family/comedy TV dramas. Typical narratives follow everyday families and exaggerate real-life events for comedic effect. Parents are often embarrassingly overprotective in front of children and friends. Episodes depict arguments and drama caused by visiting relatives over a day or two, mimicking real time. Character stereotypes include laidback dads and worrying moms from middle-class families. Siblings commonly argue while one is popular and the other bullied for humor.
Character profiles
This document provides character profiles for two characters in a film:
Gerhard Mattieu is based on the main character from the film Tyrannosaur and wears basic, concealing clothing like a hat and coat to appear suspicious and like he is hiding something. His unappealing appearance means the viewer does not feel sympathy for him.
Karamel Kanu is tall and wears smart clothing, but his reasons for being in the forest while chasing and capturing Gerhard are unknown and enigmatic, leaving much to the imagination. He resembles masked characters like Jigsaw and Jason in some ways.
Individual research-Luke Dreelan
This document summarizes what was learned from analyzing 7 different comedy/horror films. Some common themes identified across multiple films include: rural settings being commonly used; protagonists often being young adults or teens; poor love stories being included to attract wider audiences; costumes and makeup being badly done sometimes for comedic effect; and special effects or props being important for comedy and horror elements. Each film summary also highlights 1-2 specific things learned from that individual movie.
Genre
This document defines and provides examples of key elements that comprise a film genre, including the protagonist, stock characters, plot and stock situations, icons, background, and themes. The protagonist is the main character that encounters obstacles to overcome. Stock characters are minor stereotypical roles. Plot and stock situations refer to the sequence of causally related events and frequently recurring sequences of action. Icons are immediately recognizable images associated with a genre. Background refers to the distinct locations associated with a genre. Themes underpinning a genre's narrative often explore universal concepts through binary oppositions.
Gender stereotypes
Gender stereotypes commonly portrayed in media often show men as strong, dominant, and worldly, while women are depicted as weak, home-oriented, and dependent. However, some characters break these stereotypes. Ellen Ripley from Alien is a strong, independent woman who risks her life. Frankie from Skins is not focused on appearance. Ricky Fitts from American Beauty and Kurt from Glee have sensitive, gentle qualities considered more feminine. While some characters, like Vicky from Raging Bull and Penny from Big Bang Theory, fit traditional stereotypes of submissive women, increasingly more portray women breaking the mold.
Narrative Structures
This document provides an overview of different narrative structures and theories in film and documentaries. It discusses different types of narratives such as those with single or multiple plot lines, chronological vs non-chronological order, and narratives aimed at convincing viewers they are watching real events versus those that acknowledge being documentaries. Various theorists and their perspectives on narrative are also outlined, including Tzvetan Todorov's theory of equilibrium, disruption, unifying force and resolution, Vladimir Propp's concept of narrative functions filled by stock characters, and Claude Levi-Strauss's idea of binary oppositions in narratives.
MEDIA THRILLER CONVENTIONS
The opening of the film establishes several main characters and locations that will be important to the plot. It does this through various camera shots that follow the characters around different settings, such as a girl's bedroom and an office. However, the introduction of characters and settings is confusing and does not clearly reflect the film's title of "The Cabin In The Woods". While some thriller conventions are used, such as mysterious music and hints of danger, the opening does not fully set up the thriller elements or make it clear who the characters are and their roles in the story. This leaves the audience unsure of what to focus on and without a strong sense of the film being a thriller.
Thriller
The opening sequence of American Psycho establishes the main character Patrick Bateman and his double life. It shows him having dinner with coworkers at a fancy restaurant through a series of extreme close-up shots of the food. The sequence aims to draw in a mainly male, Western audience older than 18 due to its disturbing and violent themes. Camera angles like the bird's eye view reflect the predatory nature of the serial killer character and close-ups of potentially violent images build tension.
The Representation of Gender
This document provides an overview of an exam for a media studies course. It outlines the two sections of the exam:
Section A focuses on textual analysis and representation, requiring analysis of an unseen moving image extract and focusing on the representation of a specific concept.
Section B assesses knowledge of media institutions, production processes, distribution strategies, technologies, and audience reception/consumption through answering a question based on a case study of a specific media industry, in this exam focusing on music magazines.
The exam is 2 hours and consists of two compulsory questions, one for each section, worth 50 marks each. Areas of focus and representation that may be covered are also outlined.
Film trailer brief analysis
The trailer summarizes the story of Forrest Gump, showing that he is the main character and differs from others. It depicts his friendship with Jenny and his many achievements, while Jenny struggles. As Forrest's mother falls ill, he reflects on his relationship with Jenny. The trailer uses a variety of shots including medium long shots, long shots, and close ups to portray emotions and isolate Forrest. Forrest narrates with realistic sound effects highlighting his differences and accomplishments. Costumes, surroundings, and colors reflect the time period and location. Dissolves between scenes imply Forrest is sharing snippets of his past. The trailer aims to elicit sympathy for Forrest while making his life seem enviable, targeting an older, likely female audience.
Character conventions
This document discusses various character conventions in films:
- Major characters are "round" and change throughout the film, while minor characters are "flat" and do not change.
- Character goals and obstacles create conflict and drama as characters pursue their goals despite obstacles.
- Character traits are a character's personality and how it may change, as seen in the example of the character in Shutter Island.
- Character choices lead to cause and effect scenarios that result in conflict and consequences.
- There are different types of conflict including inner, situational, relational, cosmic, and societal, which are exemplified in the film Suicide Squad.
- Diegetic elements exist within the world of the film
Representation 7 areas intro
Representation describes how signs like media texts stand in for and depict reality. Producers intentionally frame reality through signs like editing and camerawork to position texts ideologically. Audiences make sense of reality through these representations. Common representations of social groups in media include stereotypes like criminal black men, nerdy white men, sexy Latinas, and helpless disabled people. Understanding how media represent social groups through signs is important for recognizing the ideologies that shape perceptions of reality.

The student learned several important lessons when progressing from their preliminary film task to the full film product. For the preliminary task, they used basic equipment which produced a low quality, half minute film with poor editing and planning. However, it helped them learn better filming, editing, planning and teamwork skills. For the full product, they applied these lessons to plan more thoroughly, use higher quality equipment, improve their editing skills, and strengthen team communication. The end result was a much higher quality film that showed the effects of practicing and learning from their earlier mistakes.

Evaluation 1
The document evaluates how the media product challenges stereotypes about geeks and cosplayers. It used YouTube and Blogger to present the social documentary examining cosplayers' lifestyles. Interviews showed cosplayers dressing in costumes from anime and video games to conform to conventions but also portrayed them as social, fashionable, and extroverted rather than outcasts. Cutaways at a convention depicted cosplayers interacting to further challenge negative stereotypes about the community.
Question 1; in what way does your media product use, develop or challenge for...
This document discusses how the student's media product opening for a horror/slasher film uses and develops conventions of the genre. The opening uses typical slasher conventions like a mysterious killer, bloody title graphics, and settings that build tension. Locations include an unknown garage where the killer prepares, and an abandoned train track in the woods. Character types and the ordering of opening credits also follow conventions set by films like Halloween and Friday the 13th. While some elements like using a male victim challenge conventions, overall the opening aims to reflect the genre's typical themes and styles.

A Hollywood conglomerate would be an unsuitable distributor for the film "Tracks of Damnation" because they aim for large global audiences with high budget films, whereas "Tracks of Damnation" is a low budget British independent film with a niche national audience. A UK distributor would be more appropriate as they invest in Category A British films and have a target niche national audience. Funding options in the UK include Film4, the National Lottery, or the BFI.

The document discusses the technologies used in creating a film opening, including GarageBand, Blogger, film cameras, and YouTube. The author learned how to use GarageBand to create incidental music, developed musical skills like timing and layering. Blogger was used to post updates and improve presentation skills. A Nikon camera was used to film content, requiring learning camera techniques. YouTube was helpful for research, uploading content, and was convenient to use.

1) The document discusses how the creator linked their main documentary production with ancillary products like an advert and double page spread.
2) A key aspect of synergy was using consistent costumes, colors, fonts, and themes like Alice in Wonderland across all products to connect them.
3) The main character Jess is featured in both the documentary and ancillary products to give audiences a sense of who the documentary is about.
Question 5 – how did you attract your audience
The document discusses how to attract and address the audience of a slasher film. It explains that slasher films must have tension, intrigue, and gore to appeal to fans of the genre. It also notes that films must follow genre conventions that audiences expect. To build tension, the film uses close-ups that don't show surroundings to create fear and shots where the antagonist's features are blurred as they hunt. Flashing light and blurry camera effects were also used to create tension and prevent viewers from seeing clearly. Audience research was conducted to get feedback on how to improve tension, with respondents noting the importance of building up tension through loud and quiet parts. Incidental music was created to time these elements and generate

Evaluation 4
The student conducted research for both their AS and A2 media productions. For AS, they analyzed horror film openings to understand how to build tension. They took inspiration from films like Nightmare on Elm Street and Texas Chainsaw Massacre. For A2, the student researched expository documentaries on YouTube and Channel 4 to inform their documentary on cosplayers. Key sources of analysis included conventions, editing techniques, and use of music to set mood. The research processes were similar in analyzing techniques and atmosphere/tension, but differed in genres and depth of analysis between AS and A2.
Question 4 – who would be the audience for your media product?
This document discusses potential target audiences for a low-budget independent horror film called "Tracks of Damnation". It analyzes that the film would not appeal to a global "tent pole audience" due to its limited budget and unknown cast. Instead, the target audience would be niche and national in scope since the film, production company, and setting are all British. The goal is to receive a 15 rating from the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC), which would allow scenes of strong violence, threat, and language but no sexual or drug content. The primary target audience is identified as older teens and young adults aged 15-30, with males as a secondary audience drawn to genres like slasher films.

60 second pitch
This document outlines a 60 second pitch for a documentary about cosplayers. The documentary will use a combination of observational and interactive documentary styles to focus on the lifestyle of a cosplayer. It will include interviews with cosplayers in their homes and at comic conventions, as well as shots of the costumes and conventions. The target audience is teens and young adults aged 13-24 who are interested in cosplay culture. Inspiration comes from a previous documentary about Harry Potter fans.
Arabic presentation
As with most languages, Arabic is an attention to detail language requiring time and effort to master even just the basics. Part of the final exam for one of the Arabic courses that I took at Syracuse required me to present a powerpoint presentation to the class utilizing everything that I learned over the course of the semester. The presentation centered around my family and other aspects of my life.

Question 2
This document represents how different social groups are portrayed in a media product. Young adult women, specifically a news reporter who becomes a victim, are initially represented through stereotypes of always being victims and less vocal than men. However, this is challenged by portraying the woman as an educated, vocal character who gives a news report with strong posture while the man has bad posture and is silent. Young male criminals, like the stalker in the film, are shown reinforcing stereotypes of men preying on women through multiple female murders. But stereotypes of young men always being jokesters and of stalkers typically being older are challenged by portraying the isolated stalker as a young adult wearing tracksuits to add an unexpected element.
Question 2
The document discusses how the filmmaker represents teenagers in their opening horror sequence. It notes that teenagers are commonly portrayed in stereotypical ways in horror films, such as wearing hoodies and jeans. The filmmaker aims to represent teenagers in a stereotypical manner through elements like costumes, lighting, location, and limited dialogue to build suspense. However, the filmmaker wants to avoid offensive stereotypes that have been criticized in other films, such as certain racial or gender stereotypes. The document provides context on the filmmaker's target audience and how they aim to appeal to them while portraying social groups in a responsible manner without crude stereotyping.
Sci fi Representation
This document discusses representation in science fiction films. It begins by defining representation and noting that all representations reflect biases. It then examines common character types in science fiction films, such as heroes, victims, and authorities. Two film trailers are analyzed for examples of these characters. The document also discusses how stereotypes are often used as shortcuts but can promote oversimplified or biased views. It provides examples of countertypes that challenge stereotypes. Finally, it considers how gender is commonly represented in films and posters, often reinforcing unrealistic ideals of masculinity and femininity. The key ideas are that science fiction frequently relies on stereotypes and biased representations that could influence viewers' perceptions of normality.
Question 2
The document discusses representing social groups in horror films. It notes that teenagers and families are often represented. Specifically, the opening sequence represents a group of teenagers in a stereotypical manner through their clothing, dialogue, and reaction to entering a dark new world. However, the document also acknowledges some issues with relying on crude stereotypes, such as always killing off minority characters first or overly sexualizing and portraying women as weak. The document concludes that it will aim to represent teenagers in an expected horror genre way while avoiding offensive stereotypes that could raise more criticism.
Representation of social groups
The document discusses the representation of a 17-18 year old male teenager in an original television story (OTS). It will initially portray him as an ordinary teenager through stereotypical morning routines and casual clothing. However, as he begins to hallucinate, his representation challenges stereotypes of teenagers as mentally stable. Technical elements like high camera angles and fast cuts will emphasize his vulnerability and inability to control the hallucinations. Mise-en-scene and sound design choices also rely on stereotypes of teenagers as lazy and reliant on phone alarms.
Theroy meaning final
The document discusses various concepts related to meaning and interpretation including denotation versus connotation of symbols like snakes, flags, and guns. It also analyzes color schemes, props, characters, and other visual elements in posters to infer themes of games. Other topics covered include stereotypes associated with gender, class, age and more. Film techniques like editing, soundtracks, and narrative structures are also defined and discussed.
Media lesson-Representation
This document discusses representation in media and how images are constructed to represent certain groups. It explains that all media texts use representation, as everything seen is being portrayed in some way. Images undergo a process of construction, where technical elements like camera angles, lighting, and editing are used to guide viewer perception in a particular direction. Stereotypes are often used to quickly convey messages to audiences through exaggerated portrayals. The ways that teenagers, women, and other groups are represented through stereotypes is discussed.
Question 5
The document describes research conducted for a student film project on the thriller genre, including distributing questionnaires, conducting video reactions, and selecting actors, narrative, locations, props, and costumes informed by the target teenage audience's preferences. Questionnaires revealed that teenagers enjoyed chase scenes and spooky settings. Video reactions studied friends' facial expressions while watching a film clip. The student project features a teenage victim being chased by a mysterious killer in a suit through scary locations like a graveyard to attract their target teenage audience.
Media presentaion1
This document analyzes the camera work, sound, and mise-en-scene techniques used in a television episode scene to represent age, class, and time period. Specifically, it discusses how the camera angles, music, decor, lighting, costumes, and working-class location are used to portray a teenage character in the 1970s and establish the scene as set among the British working class of that era.
Evaluation Question Two
The document discusses how the media product represents various social groups through its characters. It focuses on age, gender, social class, and ethnicity. For age, most actors are teenagers or young adults to subvert expectations. Females outnumber males and are portrayed as innocent through white clothing. Social class is represented through the teenagers' working class clothing and behaviors in one scene. Ethnic diversity is limited, with only one black actor as a zombie to show that a pandemic can affect anyone. Locations and lighting are also used to convey meaning about characters and danger.

Qu2
The document discusses representations of social groups in thrillers. It notes that females were traditionally portrayed as victims, weak, and dependent on males but modern thrillers often show stronger, independent females who may be protagonists or antagonists. The document also discusses representations of males as usually strong, powerful, and intelligent protagonists or antagonists. It summarizes that the film's protagonist is a young male of 23 to relate to the target audience, though he shows weakness towards the end when confronted by the female antagonist, offering an unconventional portrayal.
Evaluation task 2
The document discusses the representation of social groups in a film opening sequence. It summarizes that:
The female characters represent mainstream British teenage girls of lower-middle class who enjoy hanging out with friends, drinking, and taking selfies. The male character is meant to be unlikable, with his face hidden to prevent audience connection. Close-ups were used with the female characters but flash effects with the male character to build tension. The characters reinforce social stereotypes, with the females portrayed as typical of their age through language, actions, and dress, while the male represents a potentially dangerous stereotype.
Question 1) finnished
The document discusses how the media product uses and challenges conventions of the thriller genre. It summarizes how the opening scene uses conventional elements like an intimidating male antagonist, isolated setting, low-key lighting, and unsettling sound effects. However, it also challenges conventions through an unconventional boutique setting, atypical credits, and a character obsessed with fashion that questions gender norms. Overall, the product aims to engage a teenage audience through themes of gender, social expectations, fashion, and obsession.
Qu2
The document discusses representation of different social groups in thrillers. It notes that females were traditionally represented as victims, weak, and dependent on males in early thrillers but are now often portrayed as stronger, independent, and sometimes the antagonist. It also discusses representation of males, who are usually the protagonist and antagonist, portrayed as strong, powerful, and intelligent problem-solvers. The document then discusses the representation in its own thriller, noting the unconventional female antagonist and weakening male protagonist. It also discusses representation of age and professionalism of the young male protagonist.
EQ2
The document discusses how two social groups, a young male and teenage female, are represented in a film opening. The young male conforms to negative stereotypes by trespassing and using profanity, portraying the group as mischievous. The teenage female challenges stereotypes through her strange behavior and interest in violence, shown by a wooden plank, but also displays some stereotypes by carrying a doll and wearing white. Overall, the two social groups are represented in contrasting ways through conforming and opposing common stereotypes.

Assignment 14 pitches
The document provides two pitches for opening title sequences (OTS) for horror films.

Analysis science fiction representation
This document discusses representation and stereotypes in science fiction films. It notes that all representations are biased based on the producers' perspectives. Stereotypes are oversimplified views of groups that are commonly used in films for convenience.

The document examines examples of character and gender stereotypes and asks students to consider whether non-stereotypical films are possible and how media representations may influence viewers' perceptions of reality.

- 1. Question 2 – How does your product represent particular social groups? By Katie Wright
- 2. Representing age • Within our film opening, there are various iconographies that support the conventions of particular age groups. • The prop used in the medium close-up of the laptop supports the stereotype about teenagers. • Teenagers are typically associated to be “lazy” and “modern”.
- 3. Representing age • Laptops are modern and typically used for leisurely activities such as video games. • The background shows a group of teens at prom, which then links the laptop with that particular social group which supports the stereotypes connected with teens.
- 4. Representing age • The costumes used in our film opening also support the stereotypes associated with teenagers. • In this mid shot, we can see a young male wearing a hoodie with a backwards cap. • Hooded teens are often seen to be deviant and threatening, which relates back to the ideology of t teens being violent.
- 5. Representing age • The props used in the film opening subverts the stereotypes associated with middle aged people. • In this mid shot, a tall middle aged man is holding an axe in an unsafe manner. • This subverts the ideology of middle aged people being responsible and sensible, as the antagonist is mistreating the use and purpose of the axe.
- 6. Representing age • The setting used subverts the stereotypes of teenagers. • In this mid shot, the surrounding area of this young character is woodland/countryside. • But conventionally you’d expect to find teens in urban areas. • This also subverts the ideology about teens being lazy or unfit as he is out walking in the countryside.
- 7. Representing gender • The film opening both supports and subverts the archetypes associated with males. • The camera angle used supports the archetypes about males. • This low angled shot shows a male in a dark coat + an axe sharp axe. • The low angle supports the archetype about males being dominant and strong, as it has been structured so audience appear to be looking up to him, which suggests he has more power.
- 8. Representing gender • This same shot, however, could subvert the archetypes associated with males. • The makeup in this shot can be used to disprove this. • In this low angled mid shot, we can see the antagonist has long hair. • This subverts archetypes associated with males as long hair is a trait that is conventional for females.
