'Drinking and Driving' Adverts - Representation of Men







From past adverts against drink driving, speeding and driving for long periods of time, the main persona driving always seems to be a young - middle aged man and the passenger/victim always seems to be someone very close to the main character (maybe a child or a partner). This could be considered to represent the male drivers as bad drivers, although this is not always the case and is biased.

What is the impact of New Technologies on the film industry? – Targets
Targets:
1.       Examples must be used from my case study (Working Title), and should be compared to Warp Films and Hollywood.
2.       Give detailed points and explain, not describe. Remember to use the PEE Chains (Point –Evidence – Explain).
3.       Terminology is key, so make use of the terms you know and can include. For Example, Processes, Audience and Conglomerate.
How will I meet these Targets?
I can meet these targets by creating a glossary of the terminology that I know and making sure that it is clearly shown on my blog, therefore enabling me to refer back to it when necessary before an essay question.

Representation of the Disabled

This is a really good example of showing how the disabled are represented in films. The clip shows the character Gollum from Lord of the Rings during his monologue. Because the camera angle shows the multiple personality disorder that he has, it really is an effective way of showing that two characters are in fact one. The transitions between the two angled shots are clear so that the audience can really define which personality is taking through Gollum.
