Humans Mini Mini Mock


In Humans, the most prevalent Binary Opposition is the differences between Humans and Cyborgs called 'Synths". In the scence where Anita is first introduced to Laura, their differences are made evident my the mise-en-scene of their clothing: Anita, the synth wears very basic, bland and non-provocative clothing that suggest she is  nothing but a machine made to do the chores. Laura wears colourful, stereotypical modest clothing for a middle aged mum of which suggest she a personality of which cyborgs do not. This further infers that Anita is a slave to the Hawkins family as they have not bothered to dress her in anything other that her generic synth clothing, whereas Laura is a valued member of the family that deserves better treatment and respect than Anita even though physically they appear to be the same gender.

Furthermore, the binary opposition between Synths and Humans is reinforced in the scene where Leo confronts Sadiq. Leo holds up a worn photograph of a low angle shot of Anita, posed is a relaxed fashion, with good natural lighting behind a naturalistic scenery whilst he is stood in a threatening position towering over Sadiq against a dirty backstreet wall in low key lighting. This is reinforced with the close up shot of Leo arguing with Sadiq in an anti-social manner, of which suggests Synths are made to be perfect and live in harmony whereas as Humans have flaws of which is what makes them different from the Synths. Leo is unshaven and wearing multiple layers of clothing in this scene of which suggest he is an outlaw of the run, whereas in the photograph Anita is well dressed of which suggests that Synths are controlled to be how the government want them to be and to a specification, however humans are a failed race that have not succeeded.

Introduction To Representation

Introduction To Representation Stuart Hall  REPRESENTATION - To show something again, the ways in which a media product constructs the world and aspects in it.The Producer builds the product.) Lindt Lindor - "Do you dream in chocolate?" 2011 The music in the background is very soothing and relaxing (harp etc) and classical which has connotations of upper class and being expensive. 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

Tide's got What Women Want

Advert Analysis 1 This advert was published when women played a stereotypical role in the household of a cleaning lady. It is aimed at middle class women who still do their own washing yet they have a solid income from their husbands and can afford for their clothes to look as good as new.  The way she is hugging the red box suggests it is her new love, that it is all she wants. The red box suggests that she relies on this product like she relies on a man. It is colourful and bright which suggests that the product will lead to a better, optimistic life. The advert is blunt with no hidden meanings, it suggest that she does the job - she is the washing machine. The advert has a lot of text, unlike modern adverts and the z line would miss out a lot of information. It has to be sat down and read, it couldn't be read quickly on the side of the street as you were walking to work. The style of the advert is not like that done today, no actual real life pictures are used, it i

Adbusters exam question

-
Exam practice question The representation of women in Adbusters is consistently subverted, the use of binary oppositions, as proposed by Claude Levi Strauss, is subversive as whilst the model is represented as stereotypical, she is juxtaposed with the economic migrants. The intertextuality of the migrants is subversive as we normally see them in charity adverts present a binary opposition against the wealth of the woman. This suggests she is more well off than the man which subverts patriarchal hegemony and is not common in a media product. In every case in Adbusters, the gender norms have been subverted, the hegemonic ideas of gender have been challenged. For example, the lack of anchorage in the image in Adbusters, of which forces the audience to come up with their own readings, the assumes the audience has a high level of education and may be middle class. A style called culture jamming is constantly used in the magazine to create confusion within the audience - a binary oppositio
