In todays lesson we have explored the way in which people, events and ideas are presented (representation). Representation is divided up into 7 categories, Disabilities, Regional, Class, Age, Gender, Ethnicity and sexuality.
Todays task involves uploading a film opening/ poster in which clearly represents one of the 7 categories of representation. With this we are going to analyse the opening/poster using What, Who, Where and why.
Malibu's most wanted film opening is a clear representation of class, ethnicity and regional. The use of the actors in this are clearly reflecting a contrast to the stereotypical life and background of rich white Americans and the stereotypical image of gangs in the back streets of America. This film opening is representing the rough life of America and gangs in a soft light by representing little violence. The quick change from shoot outs to littering is representing the variation in crimes, with this the images of gang violence and the holiday like Malibu is representing how the typical high life mage of Malibu is not to be overlooked, with pockets of gangs creating problems in the city. Therefore this stereotypical image of Malibu is a regional and class stereotype.
You have chosen an interesting clip to analyse Jordan.
ReplyDelete- make sure you are clear on what is stereotypical and what it not; this analysis feels confused.
