The document summarizes the representation of women in episode 1 from the perspectives of Marxist feminism. It outlines that women in West Germany are portrayed as oppressed and subject to patriarchy, comparing themselves to unrealistic standards and being passive victims.

The document asks how these representations are technically constructed and whether any theories can be mapped onto them.

Mens fragrance 4 pictures paragraphs DBMissMoore866
This document analyzes and summarizes a marketing poster for a men's fragrance. It notes that the poster uses imagery of a Greek bust to imply the fragrance will make the wearer seem philosophical. The text "Pour un Homme" and a confident male model are aimed at male viewers. Descriptions like "Red means go" and "a daring new fragrance" present the product as rebellious and confident. The fine print suggests wearing the fragrance will help the user succeed with women and in relationships, as the woman in the poster is happy and affectionate toward the man wearing the fragrance. Font and other design choices are used to portray the fragrance as sophisticated yet approach
The document summarizes the key messages and themes conveyed in an advertisement for Brut fragrance. It notes that the brand name is prominently displayed in orange on a black background to catch attention. Symbols like a "tick" logo and slogans promise the product works reliably. Imagery depicts a man being attacked by himself, suggesting the scent's powerful odor that ensures the wearer will be noticed. Phrases reference the product empowering or enabling the user, with a target male audience indicated by references to strength and stereotypical masculine traits.
The document discusses different strategies used in advertisements for men's fragrances. Hugo Boss builds its brand image around masculinity and its poster reinforces the idea that wearing the fragrance will make a man more masculine. A Jimmy Choo ad uses the male gaze and implies that wearing the fragrance can help a man get a woman. A Chanel ad targets women by using the female gaze on a topless man to get women to buy the fragrance for their partners. A Montblanc ad uses a sophisticated black and white design to mirror the brand's values and improve its image as a fragrance for more upper class people.
Modernism grew out of optimism after WWII but gave way to postmodernism with its loss of faith in institutions and people. Postmodernism acknowledges consumerism and questions whether technology makes us more connected or alone. Jean Baudrillard's theories of simulacra and hyperreality, where images replace reality, are demonstrated in slice-of-life YouTube vlogging that manufactures authenticity and in Westworld where the park replicates reality. Stranger Things references the 1980s and plays with simulacra by placing itself within that period through visual and narrative cues.
The document summarizes a newspaper article. The main headline indicates that 80,000 students cannot train as nurses each year. The article is placed between pieces about David Cameron and immigration. The large photo of Cameron on holiday suggests his absence may be related to the lack of nursing students. Additionally, branding a feminist magazine on the cover implies support for equal rights. The placement of the articles fits Stuart Hall's reception theory by seeming to connect Cameron to the shortage of nursing students.
The document analyzes several front pages of the Daily Mail newspaper. It notes that the Daily Mail expresses strong views supporting Brexit and UKIP while criticizing the EU, David Cameron, and the government's immigration and security policies. Some headlines play into fears about national security or stoke anti-immigration sentiment. Soft news stories on the same front pages may lessen the seriousness of the hard news. The document also discusses how Reception Theory explains how media producers encode messages in texts and how audiences can decode them differently.
The document analyzes newspaper front pages using Stuart Hall's theory of encoding and decoding. It discusses how a Daily Mail front page about plastic waste may be encoded with a positive message by producers but decoded negatively by some readers as self-righteous. It also notes how less serious stories on the same page appeal to middle-market readers and how headlines reference popular culture to seem more relatable.
The Daily Mail uses sensational headlines and stories on their front pages to attract readers. Page 1 focuses on a black and white headline about accessing terrorist material online. Page 2 discusses a Russian spy story and a secondary story about Meghan Markle. Page 3 continues the narrative about the poisoning of the spy, his daughter, and the police officer. While the Daily Mail aims to produce a dominant message for readers, some argue it loses credibility due to its sensationalist reporting style, leading to negotiated readings where readers form opinions from multiple sources.
Stuart Hall's theory of representation describes how meaning is produced and exchanged through language, signs, and images that represent different ideas. For example, a Daily Mail front page about social media harming children's brains uses the image of a child to warn readers of the dangers and influence younger people's online activities. Another Daily Mail front page story about David Cameron being "dragged into" a tax scandal aims to represent that the conservative-leaning newspaper supports Cameron and sees the situation as beyond his control, according to Hall's theory about how media shapes meaning for its audience.
Stuart Hall's representation theory shows that images in media represent larger ideas and can influence public perception. The Daily Mail uses representation techniques like negative portrayals of political opponents and photoshopping images to favor right-wing views. Representation theory also applies to manipulating images on covers and in advertisements to eliminate flaws and make prominent figures more appealing to attract attention and voters.
This document provides guidance for writing an essay about media in the online age. It suggests introducing the topic and providing some historical context before incorporating two theoretical references. It recommends focusing the essay on two media forms, with case studies to analyze how they have changed. The document outlines discussing present developments in the bulk of the essay by cross-referencing other media and incorporating debate. It suggests speculating about future developments and mapping theories to possible futures. A number of relevant theorists are provided along with notes on incorporating their ideas and challenging whether they remain applicable.

quit...drinking „cause he
gets really angry and
violent...and
er...well...he got like
that last night.
CLOSE-UP of P.C. Benson. He maintains eye-contact with Mitch,
trying to intimidate the truth out of him.
P.C. Benson
What do you mean by
3.
4. violent? Do you mean
acting aggressive?
Physically aggressive?
Mitch
Well...
P.C. Benson
Shouting?
CLOSE-UP of Mitch. He is still playing with his fingers. Clearly
he is not intimidated. In-fact, he seems quite comfortable, as
if this is a routine conversation.
Mitch
He shouts a lot...erm...he
makes a habit of hitting
Bruce. Well...
(a tiny smile)
Made.
180 DEGREE TRACKING SHOT starts from behind Mitch.
P.C. Benson
Mitch, it says here that
you have a...pretty bloody
damaging psychological
record.....
Mitch
Look. I‟ve been there,
I‟ve done all of that.
That‟s over. I‟m straight
now.
P.C. Benson
(interrupts)
But is it over? „Cause on
the evidence here...
Camera goes behind P.C. Benson‟s back as he speaks.
your anger management
issues...okay, you could
be convicted.
As the camera emerges from behind P.C. Benson‟s back, we see
Mitch laugh, as he knows P.C. Benson is struggling.
180 DEGREE TRACKING shot again begins behind Mitch‟s back.
4.
5. P.C. Benson
You honestly think this is
funny? „Cause right now?
With the record you‟ve
got, you could go down,
for life. Okay? Probably
if you do maintain
innocence right?
PANS to show Mitch smiling. He has returned to his earlier
position. He knows this interview is about to end.
You‟re mad.
We just see Mitch‟s smile before the camera TRACKS behind P.C.
Benson‟s back. When it re-emerges, we see the smile has turned
to smugness.
Mitch
That‟s what they all say.
Mitch leaves this hanging in the air, as he locks eyes with P.C.
Benson.
FADE TO BLACK
LOW ANGLE CLOSE-UP of P.C. Benson. He looks deep in thought, and
even more tired.
CLOSE-UP of P.C. Benson‟s hand, writing away at his notepad.
MID SHOT to the left of P.C. Benson, showing the door at the end
of the room opening. We see a person enter, but we do not know
who as his head is out of shot. We can guess he‟s young as he
wears tight jeans and a baggy T-shirt stained with blue paint.
He sits down, and we see him raise his hands to his mouth,
almost like a prayer. He is clearly nervous.
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT of P.C. Benson writing. He has not yet
looked up from his notepad. The focus pulls to the young boy as
he rubs his head, trying to find something to do with his
trembling hands. P.C. Benson is out of focus, but we can see his
eyes look up.
P.C. Benson
Blake...
CLOSE-UP of Blake as he places his hands on the table in a
hurried fashion.
6. 5.
Blake
(interrupts)
I didn‟t do it!
P.C. Benson
I‟m sorry?
Blake
Look, I know Mitch an-an-
and I know that he told
you I was drunk an‟ that
I did it but I didn‟t
sir, I swear it!
CLOSE-UP of P.C. Benson. There is a look of concern on his face.
P.C. Benson
Are you going to tell me
who did then?
Blake
It...it was Mitch.
CLOSE-UP of P.C. Benson as he sits back, tired. He sighs.
P.C. Benson
Well there‟s a surprise.
(slightly
louder)
Tell me what happened
Blake.
Blake
Okay....Well last night-
FADE TO BLACK
EXT. AN ALLEY BEHIND A HOUSE - EVENING
Blake
(V.O)
We were out by the
chippy down the road,
sort of around 8ish. Me,
Bruce and Mitch.
P.C. Benson
(V.O)
You were seen leaving a
house rather hurriedly
7. 6.
through it‟s back gate,
zipping up bags. What
you were doing doesn‟t
concern me Blake. Just
tell me how Bruce died
and why.
OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT from Mitch‟s shoulder showing Blake and
Bruce in front. They are walking suspiciously up to a house,
looking around for anyone. They go round a wall to the back
door. Bruce and Mitch both have bags on.
Blake
(V.O)
Okay...well...we had
just stolen a few
things.
LOW ANGLE MEDIUM SHOT of the house they have entered.
Blake
(V.O)
And Me and Mitch were
coming out of the house,
but Bruce sort of came
out a couple seconds
after, zipping up his
bag.
P.C. Benson
(V.O)
And where did you go
from there?
LOW ANGLE MEDIUM SHOT of an alley to the side of the house. We
see Blake hurry out first, followed by Mitch, who is putting his
bag back onto his shoulders. A few seconds later, we see Bruce
come out. He pauses for a second, and looks back at the house,
but hurries on when Blake calls back for him.
Blake
(V.O)
Home.
LONG SHOT through a bin, as the three boys hurry out of the
alley. Again, Bruce is trailing behind.
INT. THE BOY‟S “DEN” - EVENING
8. OVER THE SHOULDER SHOT from Mitch‟s shoulder as they enter a
large room. Its white-washed wallpaper is peeling, and tings
litter the floor. The room consists of random pieces of
7.
furniture collected over the years. This includes multiple
chairs, a sofa, a small table and even a set of lockers. Clearly
these boys don‟t take care of their home. In-fact, there is
nothing homely about it. the place feels empty. The 3 boys sit
down, Mitch throwing his bag carelessly in front of him, whilst
Bruce place his bag beside him.
Blake
(V.O)
When we got back, we all
just sort of chilled out
for a while. I er...was
drinking. But it was
weird, Bruce just sort
of sat there thinking
for a while, and Mitch
was like staring at him
and his bag the whole
time. Until Mitch tried
to see what was in the
bag.
LOW ANGLE SHOT from inside Bruce‟s bag. Mitch tries to put his
hands in.
Bruce
What are you doing?
Bruce pushes Mitch‟s shoulder and makes an attempt to close the
bag. The bag closes over the camera.
MID SHOT of Mitch, with Bruce in the foreground. Bruce picks up
the bag and moves it to his other side. Mitch makes a grab for
it.
Mitch
(raised
voice)
What the hell, just give
it!
Bruce
Na...
MEDIUM SHOT from a distance shows Mitch, Bruce and Blake sat
down in their chairs. Blake seems silent at this incident,
instead watching. In anger, Mitch rises, and Bruce does too, to
protect the bag.
9. Mitch
What is in the bag?
8.
P.O.V SHOT from Bruce‟s perspective. Looks at Mitch, and pushes
him. Mitch looks angry.
Bruce
(raised
voice)
What the hell are you
doing?
Bruce turns to Blake who drunkenly tries to stop what is about
to happen.
Blake
Oi no, don‟t do it,
don‟t do anything
stupid.
Bruce turns back to Mitch who now has an unsettling smile on his
face. Mitch grabs something from his back pocket, steps forward
and thrusts his arm towards Bruce‟s stomach.
Blake
(shouts)
No!
The camera looks down to reveal the grip of a pair of scissors
in Mitch‟s hands. The rest?Buried in Bruce‟s stomach. The camera
falls to the ground.
CLOSE UP of the back of Bruce‟s head as it hits the floor.
P.O.V from Bruce as Blake rushes over and begins to shake him.
The camera shakes, emphasising the ferocity of Blake‟s efforts.
Blake
(shouts)
Bruce! Bruce!
FADE TO BLACK
P.C. Benson
(V.O)
And that‟s how he died?
Blake
(V.O)
10. ...that‟s how he died...
P.C. Benson
(V.O)
9.
I just have one question
Blake...
Blake
(V.O)
Yeah?
P.C. Benson
(V.O)
What the hell was in
that bag?
