Humans continued

An ensemble cast - When many different characters play roles and it is difficult to point out the protagonist, as there are over 20 character archetypes.

 There are many story arcs in humans:
- The Hawkins Family
- Leo trying to find Anita
- George and Odi
- Flashback to Leo and Anita Travelling
- Nishca in the brothel
- Fred in the Plantation
- The Synths in the warehouse being produced
- Detective Drummond finding his wife wife a Synth
- Anita kidnapping Sophie

 Much like Butler Van Zoonen suggests gender is constructed by a producer in a media product ad it reflects the values and ideologies of the time period it was produced in.

Leo's Confrontation:

Resembles a crime drama, shown through a close up of two heads in the same shot makes it look like Leo is threatening Sadiq. The mise en scene of Leo's unshaven face demonstrates that he doesn't care about his appearance - he is an outlaw. His vocal delivery is quite stern and blunt, sometimes it is hard to understand what he is saying. He also uses physical force against Sadiq by slamming his arm against the wall. He approaches Sadiq when he is vulnerable and back is turned of which suggests he is tactical. The binary opposition of the picture of Anita in Nature vs Leo against a dirty brick wall. 

The story is set 'In medias res' - it is set in the middle of a story.

The chocolate comes across as luxury due to the close ups of melted chocolate - which has connotations of smoothness and purity.  The advert is very sexualised, the close up of her face when biting into the chocolate. The lighting is soft,golden and smooth. She's in bed eating chocolate by herself which could have sexual connotations. Suggests the product will replace sex - or it is better than sex. The advert shows her being very sensual with her eyes closed whilst she is enjoying the chocolate. All the shots transition smoothly into each other which give the impression that ...

Representation It allows people to relate to characters. It allows us to learn about the world. Gives insight into other cultures Representations are not real - they are a construction of reality. Every media product has bias. Les Revenants: Simon  Delaitre: Young White Male Attractive to a teenage female audience? Late teens/early 20s Dark features make him look rebellious. Looks stereotypically french - aimed at a french audience. Camille  Séguret: (15) Young White Female Clothes aren't stereotypical for a teenage girl in a western world in a modern day era. She's been cast because she looks young. Attracts the target audience of teenagers who may aspire to be like her. Quite smartly dressed for a teenager - atypical representation. Old beyond her years. Complex representation - reflected in the complicated narrative.  Claire Séguret: Appeals to middle aged men Blonde hair Very minimal makeup...
