This document describes and analyzes images of several characters:
- Seth is portrayed as crazy, childish, and controlling who mocks his friends. His posture suggests he is strong and brave.
- Huey is shy but curious, from a rich background but modest, and adventurous but knows his limits. He looks small and vulnerable.
- Dorian is laid back, social, funny, and relaxed who enjoys conversation. His image challenges nerd stereotypes.
- Amelia is portrayed as innocent, childlike, and vulnerable. Her clothing suggests small size and male control over females.
- Sonya is talkative and argumentative based on her depicted conversation. Her uniform symbolizes superiority and
2. Seth
This image portrays Seth, his facial
expressions define how crazy and how
childish he can be. The way he is seated also
plays a part as he is seated in a way that he
doesn’t care about anything, Seth has
authority and is generally an intelligent
person therefore he feels that he has control
over what happens, he tends to mock his
friends as they do not follow the same traits
as himself.
Looking at his posture we can ideally
acknowledge Seth is a strong person and is
one that is brave.
3. Huey
This image to some extent we could show
Huey as despite being a crazy guy he is
quite shy and will not express any emotion if
put out of his comfort zone.
Huey is from a very rich background but is
modest and will never flash what he has,
Huey is a hit of a nerd and the stereotypical
prop used to portray this is the glasses.
Huey like I said in the previous is one that it is
very adventurous, getting him into problems
however he is able to understand limits. And
can be seen as someone that is quite
curious, in this image Huey looks quite small
which also shows some signs of him being
vulnerable.
4. Dorian
I chose this picture as is shows Dorian being
laid back it also shows him in the position of
being in a conversation with someone this
shows Dorian as a very social person, he’s
also a relaxed and chilled person who
essentially has enjoys having a laugh,
making him again the most funniest in the
crew,
In this image I have challenged the idea of
classes just being for nerds, because
ultimately Dorian is a very cool Individual
5. Amelia
Amelia is essentially the protagonist of the
trailer, this image shows how innocent and
child like she is, the image also shows a
female stereotype of how females are
portrayed e.g. quite vulnerable.
I terms of Mise-En-scene I have given her a
boys jumper to wear to identify how small
she is, this idea was used to show
representation of males having control and
seen as more masculine compared to
females.
6. Sonya
I used this image to show the type of person
Sonya is; ultimately we can identify she's
arguing or is in some sort of conversation;
looking at my description of my cast I
ultimately stated that Sonya is very talkative
and argumentative.
The black uniform on her also symbolises
some superiority has she was seen as bully in
the past.
Looking closely Sonya has a prefect badge
to show her changed ways, winning the
Jack Petchey awards numerous amount of
times.
Sonya prefect bade also symbolises some
power which contradicts the female
stereotype
7. Katie
Katie is a shy person, therefore takes she
tends to not like images, however behind
closed doors she is an animal looking at hair
carefully she wears make up, this falls again
into the representation of the female
stereotype (woman caring about their looks)
This also relates back to the male gaze
theory; women seeing themselves in the
image which the masculine culture has
defined. Despite women enjoy looking pretty
male essentially like it that way.
The male culture reinforces its power by
defining women in this way and
encouraging this anxiety.
Katie's Mise-En-Scene has played a big part
in this
8. The Stalker
The Stalker will wear a long coat which
symbolises authority, and dressed in all black,
to hide his identity, ultimately his face would
be shown to essentially establish an
emotionless face, and create some form of
tension to the viewers.
This image is to show the type of coat the
psycho would be wearing he would be also
wearing a hat.
