Analysing a still image - Acting on feedback

WWW: You have picked out the key aspects of genre from the posters and some other key features. 
EBI: It would be good if you would analyse specific features from the poster - ie. the titles - and talk about colour, positioning etc and how this links to genre, audience appeal, purpose. This could be done for quite a few individual features on the poster.

The titles on the picture don't stand out too much as they don't want to distract away from the image, the title of the film (in white) links to the name 'White house down' it contrasts with the picture as the order and control of the white writing contrasts with the orange burning an explosions in the background.
The titles and their positioning link to the genre as in action films its always the contrast of control and order against the  chaos that is unfolding , this appeals to the audience as it shows the genre clearly.


The aerial/ high angle shot make us see the vulnerability of the situation unfolding below we can see the chaos from a safe point of view expressing to the audience that this action adventure genre will be right in the middle of this chaos, and the enigma is that we want to know who's point of view are we seeing this from?  why is this all happening? and of course , how does it end?

'Tordorov's theory' - Acting on feedback

WWW: Applied the theory to a film of your choice, with all the various stages clearly identified and explained.
EBI: You had explained the theory in your own words. You have used a screen shot of the stages in order to identify these, but if you had explained this in your own words in would show a closer understanding of the theory.

Tordovs theory states that there is an order of narrative , this order is as following 

1. Everything is normal and as it should be in the film.
2. An event happens to disturb this normality e.g somebody declaring war 
3. The characters have to then acknowledge that this disturbance has took place e.g preparing for a war 
4. Then the characters must attempt to fix this disturbance e,g fighting and winning a war 
5. Finally the film returns to its normality again. 

'The male gaze'- Laura Mulvey - Acting on feedback

WWW: You have identified different ways in which women are viewed on screen and how women are consistently viewed from a heterosexual males point of view. You have also picked out sections of the music video and recognised which follow the theory.
EBI: You had explained the representation of the woman on the screen in a more detailed way. How does her representation prove the theory? How is she shown as an object?

Acting on feedback
The representation of women on the screen is that they are all beautiful , skinny and wearing make up and appealing clothing , this appeals to the male audience as its what they want to see and gives them something to look at this is objectifying the girl in the video as shes only there as something to look at for the male audience proving this theory that the media is made for the male audience.
