2. A range of micro elements are used in my introductory
sequence which explore areas of representation at the
macro level of the text.
I have used a range of elements from the mise-en-scene
category including such simple props which are used by
the characters such as, a bag, costume in the form of
clothes being thrown into a bag which all has importance
in the extract because it shows the mood of the character
and what is happening in the scene. Another prop such as
the photo album shows massive significance as it shows
how much family means to the character, but when she
comes across of a picture of her and her boyfriend she
throws it away which represents the anger that she has
for him.
The specific event that is happening in the extract that is
being represented is a relationship break up.
The key representative area in the extract I see is gender
and class and status.
3. The issue of gender are being represented in the extract. This is
represented in a very clear way to the audience. It is clearly shown
that the character has had enough and that there is some sort of
barrier to show there is no love in the relationship anymore that is why
the female character is shown packing her things in the extract, and
when females feel there is no love in the relationship anymore they
decide enough is enough and leave this could represent gender and
their differences.
The issues of class and status is being could be interpreted. This could
be because in the extract the male character is shown taking shopping
home which could indicate he has no job, and could show that the
female could be working and putting in all the effort for the both of
them, this could put strain on the relationship which could make the
female not love the male character.
4. The technical elements used in the extract is
used to portray the characteristics of a
relationship break up. This is effective and is
very clear to the audience I feel because it
clearly shows that the female is leaving and is
very clear when the male receives a text from
the female character saying “Goodbye”.
