Represantion of gender homework

Evaluation

Mise-en-scene:

• In the clip men have wepons, for example the soliders have guns and the master has a laser screwdriver, Mather has nothing showing that they have power over her.

 

• In the clip there is also a ticking clock building suspence and to help with this there is a lot of zeros infrount of the numbers, this shows that time is running and as the master has control over this therefore over everyone. 
  

• You see Mather talking to everyone together when the master just fights back with weapons. This shows the stereotypical view of men and women when in a fighting situation. 

• The clip also shows the master talking to the rockets and the Tolckaphain (the aliens), there are lots of them showing just how powerful they are. 

 

• When there is a reply from the rockets it is a male voice showing that men have the power of powerful weapons.  
• When Mather walks in the master walks down a couple of steps, this could represent his downfall staring as she steps through the door as her plan is falling into place. When he realises he sits down as she stand up showing that there is a shift in power.

• In the background there are women wearing maid outfits and the men look like soldiers, this is also the stereotypical view of jobs that men and women should have.

Editing:

• As the storyline speeds up so does the shots. 
• When Mather is talking to people about The doctor the screen goes white, it shows that she is explaining her plan though, the master just goes to violence showing the difference in gender and how the cope to sort problems out. It also represents flashbacks.

Sound:

• As Mather walks in the music makes the audience think that Mather is defeated, it sounds like a victory song for the master. 
• As Mather kneels down and obeys the masters commands the music slows down and sounds almost sad, this may give the impression to the viewer that everything is bout to end as Mather has lost. 
• When Mather begins to laugh the music gets a bit faster, this could show the shift of power. 
• It continues to gain pace as she tells her story of how she has overthrown the master. There is also a ticking sound to build up suspense.

Camera work:

• As Mather kneels down the camera goes down with her, this is showing the audience how little power she has and how small the Master sees her. 
• When the master walks down some of the stairs and also when he sits down, the camera also goes down, I think this gives the same effect as it did with Mather. 
• When she stands up again the camera goes up as well showing the shift in power. 
• There is a close up shot when she laughs, I feel this is because it is a major moment in the scene as its the first time we see the power change. It is followed by a close up to see the masters face as the realisation of him being beaten occurs to him.

• When Mather walks in there is a steady cam shot which singles her out and  shows how alone and vulnerable she is as she is the focus of the shot.



Regional identity homework

This advert of Greek yoghurt tells the storyline of a boy letting a cow out of the field, going to get it back again and telling his mother that he got the 'escaped' cow back so he can get the reward of yoghurt. Overall I think it is set in Greece. This is due to the old looking buildings and the town which is set in the mountains which is what I think is the stereotypical view of Greece. In the video there is also a Greece flag in the background and they are speaking a foreign language. The music in the background also sounds like Greek folk music. The clothes that they wear are very simple which could be a message showing that the yoghurt being advertised is natural and simple, this is also shown through the settings. Throughout the video is looks very old until we see some cables and at the end the mother answers a mobile which could represent that although the yoghurt is unchanged since 1926 it still fits in with modern day society. Looking at the video the life they led is a very simple one. There is a community feel and they make there own food, this is the life everyone dreams off which could also relate to the yoghurt again. We also see a man on a donkey which could also show nature and the simple life again. The fact that the little boy can go running to get the cow by himself shows that it is a very carefree life they lead. The way he acts with the cow, how he gets the cow out of the field and leads the cow back, shows they have close relationship which could show that the boy spends a lot of time out in the fields with them in nature. Overall I think that this advert has a very strong regional identity.
