Christmas 50: Representation
Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs the representation of ethnicity using the following:
In this extract; it starts with a close up and a tracking shot of the faces of the immigration services who are all white and dressed in suits. This shows that because of they are white, they have higher jobs that are give them a lot of authority and power over people. As this happens, cuts occur as it switches from them to the black person sat on the sofa. This is not only showing that something bad will occur in the scene but also suggests that because of the power and the authority they have through their job role, their ethnicity is interferes with it as it is obviously shown that the black man in the suit is in a stereotypically lower position than the immigration service who are shown to be white. Following this, the black guy is sat on the sofa wearing a suit. This shows that he is doing well with his career which stereotypically would not be seen. His ethnicity is also not taken into consideration to the people he is sat around as he is sat next to a white man in a suit. In addition to this, is the same matter, to when the women says "before I forget, Ben have you taken the forms to house keeping" this is chosen as a code line to help him and the immigrants. Through all this equality is shown as everyone else in the scene who are not considered immigrants don't look down on the black or foregin people and work together with them to keep them safe as shown when the white man in the suit runs with 'Ben' to tell Jacquie about the immigration services. During this an tracking shot is used as the run as well as parallel cutting to show that they are hiding.
Jackie is Asain, she is dressed in a suit, showing that she is high up in her job as she has her own office and desk. This follows the stereotype of Asian womem being smart. She also follows this theory as she speaks different languages to speak to the immigrants who don't speak English. All the other immigrants where scrubs to show that they are cleaners and is the sterotype for foreginers as they are potrayed in a way to show that they cant get any other job because of their lack of English language and understand and English qaulifications. Later in the extract, the black man in the scrub in the closest who helps the woman who has fainted, says 'I wasn't always a cleaner'. This is suggested that he used to be a doctor. This is the complete opposite top what black people are stereotyped in TV dramas as they would normally put out as they aren't smart enough to have such a career like being a doctor.
Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs the representation of gender using the following:
In this extract, the dialect used by the men is quite harsh as Ian uses the words "arsehole, bastard" straight after each other. While this is happening, shot-reverse-shot is used to show the emotions of both of the men. Ian using such harsh words in his dialect, show the typical emotions that men have which are portrayed mostly to be full of anger and quite stern. Though, through the conversation between Luther and Ian while shot-reverse-shot is being used- Ian is seen to be tearing up, showing he is weak. Representation for men is completely opposite as this is seen as feminine. In media Ian would be expected to be seen to react in a stern way and keep his emotions locked to look like the bigger person.
Most of the extract is set in dark lighting, this is because not only because of the genre of the show as it is crime but dark lighting exaggerates the point that the show does not go with every media stereotype of Gender and that it will be different. This is also seen when Alice enters the scene; she appears in natural dull make up. This, like other women stereotyped in media, draws attention away from her being sexualised and shows that she is as equal to the men in the show. In addition to this, it's shown as she has a dark tone within her speech suggesting that she is not innocent and that she is superior.
The extract follows the men stereotype as Luther and Ian both rise their voices. In particular when Luther shouts "enough". This is seen as powerful as he attempts to take control of the situation as he tries to go by the theory of men being the hero of the situation. However, Alice goes against this as she kills Ian, she becomes the hero in this extract. Being a woman, throughout this extract she is portayed to have a strong character and is also treated that way by the other characters as they show that they are all equal to each other. When she first enters the scene and starts speaking, the camera focus' on her blurrs everything else in the background, again this is to show the power and control she has.
During the fight scene, the background is blurred throughout as well as close ups being used to show how violent, Ian and Luther are being. Mid shots are quickly used to their anger towards each other in a clear way. This behaviour, is not controlling and power is common to be shown in media.
All the men in this extract are wearing dull, dark suits. This shows that they are have a good job which is professional as men are seen to be the most successful gender- linking to power and control of their gender compared to other women.
At the end of the extract, non-diagetic sound of music plays, as the camera focus' in on Luther's face and blurs everyone else' face in the background, building tension towards him as he shows that he is in pain and showing his weakness therefore it shows the audience that women are not the weaker gender and in this extract is the opposite of that.

Kill List research
WARP X:
It was founded in 2005. 16 June 2010, registered office in Sheffield Digital Campus. It is sister company to Warp films. It produces feature films in the UK with budgets £400,000 and £800,000. The studio provides a format for new film directors to create films for the first time. This will be on a lower budget scale with less exceptions for high box office revenue. The studio started off with support from organisations from Warp Films, Film Four, UK Film Council, EM Media and Screen Yorkshire.
The intention of this film studio is to add energy and vitality to the British film industry. It has not produced many films. Many of the films that it has produced have been successful and have either won or been nominated for awards like BAFTA.
Studio Canal:
The company was founded in 1988 by Pierre Lescure as a spin-off. The original function was to focus on French and European productions, but later made strategic deals with American production companies
It has strong links to Universal Studios (Studiocanal and Universal Studios were owned by the same company between 2000 and 2004, hence StudioCanal co-produced a fair number of Universal's films).The biggest box office hits for StudioCanal have been Terminator 2: Judgment Day which grossed US$519 million, Basic Instinct which grossed US$352 million and The Tourist which grossed US$278 million worldwide.
StudioCanal acquired film libraries from studios that either went defunct or had merged with it over the years. As a result, the company's library is the third-largest in the world, behind Warner Bros. and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer respectively. The company's library includes many other film libraries.
Film Yorkshire:
Film Four :
It is owned by Channel Four Television Corporation. It is known for producing a large number of British films. Their first production was Walter which was released in 1982.It was re-branded as FilmFour, to coincide with the launch of a new Digital TV channel of the same name. Before it was named Channel Four Films or FilmFour International. The company cut its budget and staff significantly in 2002, due to mounting losses, and was re-integrated into the drama department of Channel 4. The name "Film4 Productions" was introduced in 2006 to tie in with the relaunch of the FilmFour broadcast channel as Film4.
UK Film Council:
This was a non-departmental public body set up in 2000 to develop and promote the film industry in the UK. It was constituted as a private company limited by guarantee, owned by the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, and governed by a board of 15 directors. It was funded from various sources including the National Lottery. It distributed more than £160m of lottery money to over 900 films. UKFC closed on 31 March 2011, with many of its functions passing to the British Film Institute. This had happened after 2009 when the UKFC had persuaded the government of the merits of creating a "single public body for film" - in which the UKFC proposed that the British Film Institute should be abolished while the UKFC would take over all its assets and funding. However the legal protections offered to English charities like the BFI, meant that its proposals were dismissed in a QC's report as being legally impossible.
In its own words, the aim of the UKFC was:
Rook films: Kill list was its first production of a movie it had done.

She has been in some relationships throughout the series but unfortunately they haven't been able to last very long. Personality wise she always seems to be stressed out or worrying about something. While she can be fun on rare occasions at work, the majority of the time she is a very serious person and doesn't understand that it is ok to relax and let go at times. It has often been said to her that despite of her qualifications she mustn't let her emotions get the better of her as from time to time when she is in a crime scene she becomes emotionally involved with the victims with showing empathy and seems to take the crimes personally. She is a good person as she is always willing to put herself at risk in the hope of saving others.

The scene starts off with an establishing shot, this shows the atmosphere is full of teenager as the diegetic sound of a school bell goes off as it shows that they are still at school. The non-diegetic sounds occurring of loud guitars, being in rock style, this implies the troublesome of teenagers, preparing the audience for troubled teenager to occur in this clip. As Naomi and the teacher walk along the corridor, tracking shot is happening- this is to focus on the conversation as their background is blurred and camera is focused on them. This happens as Naomi, speaks to the teacher will a negative attitude which is submissive. Because she is a teenager this is excited for her from the audience. The targeted audience for this TV Drama is teenager so would see this a normal way to behave whereas if an older audience watched this they would associate it as bad news and the typical way for teenagers to behave as they have a stubborn attitude to older people as seen when Naomi speaks to the teacher. As a mid shot is used and the Naomi then snatches Mr Matthew's phone out of his hand as expected from a typical teenager like Naomi.
Further more in the clip, low angle is used to look up at the balcony at the students throwing paper aeroplanes everywhere. This is an efficient way of showing their rebellious act as teenagers. Following is a tracking shot eventually focusing on the girl running down the corridor amongst the people throwing paper everywhere. This is a match together as everyone in the scene are all acting the stereotypical teenage way of going against the rules.
Later on in the clip, Liam is with a girl and is constantly rejecting her. As the camera cuts into Annie heading towards them and looking at the couple. A cut into a mid shot of the couple getting close is used- this is showing their childish behaviour as he tries to get Annie jealous. Because they are teenagers of around 16-17 they are seen to have childish characterists in them as a sign of immaturity.

At the same time a crab shot is used to follow his movements as he heads out the door. The dialect currently in the scene is his parents speaking about him doing wrong things that leads to consequences. In terms of ethnicity it shows him going against the rules and going against what he's been told.

White People:
President Fitzgerald - scandal

Crab shot is used to show his importance the audience he is speaking to.
Chinese people:
Brook Soso - Orange is the new black
CLOSE UP- focus on what shes saying and in this case it is something stupid and the back is blurred. and the use of shot reverse shot is used to dshw pipers reaction of how stupid she sounds. - Chinese women are seen to be "ditzy". A cut then used to have close up to the woman listening to the conversation as she knows that she is an easy target for anything an example "bullying".

improvement of donna
In the first clip, the scene opens with focus to Donna
opening the drawer for her pills by using a close up. This at first does not
draw too much attention to her condition as for her, as women could be taken
for conception pills. On the other hand could draw attention to viewers,
because of the amount of medication and what they look like that the character
taking them is unwell and takes the medication on a daily basis for whatever
their condition. Immediately after this, a cut is used to make the transition
into a mid-shot and show that she is physically disabled representing the
everyday life for them of taking medication on a daily basis which is not
considered the "norm". Secondly, in the same clip when Fatboy enters
the scene and the use of dialect start to represent disability furthermore when
Fatboy says "not the way to treat a lady" and Donna responds with
" I aint a lady Fat". This is awkward dialect being used by her as he
tries to make humour out of her disability as self-defence as she feels
vulnerable most of the time. This is
the way they would be represented normally in TV dramas as, this is what they'd
expected to feel because they feel as if they are not normal to everyone else
in their surroundings. In this whole scene, Donna is being represented in
countertype way; disabled people are not usually seen as sexually active
because they feel as if it is something only done by "normal" people
and is not done by them. Where as the character of Donna is going against that
as she has sex with Fatboy. This would not seen as the "normal"
lifestyle for a woman who is disabled. Donna is seen to have a different
attitude towards this and does not feel like she’s any different.
The second clip when
Donna is speaking to Nancy; the conversation becomes argumentative and shot-
reverse- shot is started to be used alongside close up shots towards Donna to
show her reaction to the conversation as it is mostly likely to give her a
traumatic shock. Donna discriminates
against Nancy by saying "not all men go for perfect blondes you
know", Donna's attitude becomes cocky towards the subject of her and
Fatboy as this can be because she wants to feel normal about the situation and
not feel as if it is wrong because she is disabled to have sex. Representation
of disability is seen here it shows that if they are physically disabled, they
are the ones that are always going to be looked at or treated differently which
causes them to have unpleasant behaviour to take pressure off themselves. For
Donna to find out that Nancy has a disability herself, her reaction is focused
on through the close up shots during the conversation, which her reaction is
shown to be surprised and breath taken by the news.
In the next scene,
the camera starts off in a mid-shot as Donna is making her way over to Nancy to
apologist to her. Because of this shot, it suggests that they are on the same
level and that they are both equal to each other. Eyeline Match is used during
their conversation as they speak about their experience and again make their
disability into humour which is a way for people who are disabled to find
comfort in their condition or to speak about it.
PEER ASSESSMENT:
COMMENT: good understanding of the scene and explorations of possible representations of the character - well done!
IMPROVEMENT: try to link your analysis back to the question to make it more relevant. Also try to use more terminology within your explanations.

How is Disability represented through the character of Donna?
In the first clip, the scene opens with focus to Donna opening the drawer for her pills. b This at first does not draw too much attention to her condition as for her as a women could be taken for conception pills.On the other hand could draw attention to viewers, because of the amount of medication and what they look like that the character taking them is unwell and takes the medication on a daily basis for whatever their condition.
Immediately after this, a straight cut is used to make the transition into a mid shot and show that she is physically disabled. This represents the everyday life for them of taking medication on a daily basis which is not considered the "norm". Secondly, in the same clip when Fatboy enters the scene and the use of dialect start to represent disability furthermore when Fatboy says "not the way to treat a lady" and Donna responds with " I aint a lady Fat". This is awkward dialect being used by her as he tries to make humor out of her disability as self defense as she feels vulnerable most of the time. This is the way they would be represented normally in TV dramas as, this is what they'd expected to feel because they feel as if they are not normal to everyone else in their surroundings.

Donna is seen to have a different attitude towards this and does not feel like shes any different.

Representations in Supernatural
Age
The costume of the actor above, is a clear representation of the character's age. Which assumed by the audience that it is younger than the age of 16. This is represented through the camera work as a long shot is used to present the costume of the boy to the audience which shows his age. The Pajamas itself are seen childish and stereotypical of how boy under the age of 16 would wear for bed. Supporting that, is the long shot that shows his height telling us that he is at a young age along with his costume. The character's dialect also represents his age as he uses phrases like "daddy" in his speech, suggesting he is at a young age.
Shot reverse shot is used to show his innocence when he discovers his dad dead on the floor and doesn't know what to do. The shots go from him to the body.
Sexuality
The pole shows sexuality in it as well as the girl using it; this is a clear representation during this scene. The male gaze is represented through the costume of the girl as she is not wearing much. She is dressed in just a bra, short shorts and red boots. The red boots being worn to represent her sexiness, following that it represents danger coming towards her way. The camera angle is at a high angle looking down at her, this emphasizing the sexual scene and atmosphere starting to be created.
Straight after, there is a low angle being shown as the man looking up at her and the women looking straight into his eyes in a sexually tense atmosphere. The edits used to make it as sexually intense as it is are cut in and cutaway. As it starts with cutaway when its being shot at a high angle then at a low angle and close up is a cut in, this is to make it increase tension.
Gender
Male:
The close up focus' on his facial features e.g beard. This is most common for males to have them, therefore males are being represented. Furthermore, it shows the man wearing a shirt and tie- stereo typically suited for males to wear.
In the Images below, it shows both genders smartly dressed, in both jeans and blazer. This is shown through a mid shot and a two shot. It implies that both genders are equal to each other within their roles because it does not stereotypical show a women in a dress and the man all suited up in trousers, a shirt and blazer. They are shown here to be both wearing similar clothing. This is the opposite of how TV Dramas would normally present both of the genders.
Match on action is used while the female is working towards the man to stop and turn around to see him on the sofa, this is made then goes to the normal representation of women of being the more caring gender, as it goes from the shot of showing them being equal to each other and dramatically back into the female gender being the one that tends to look after other people around them that they care about.
The episode is consumed mostly one gender which is the males. They are seen to be playing every position in TV dramas. For an example if it was to go by the PROPP theory, the male would be most of the roles. Therefore the are shown to be dominant against each other and aren't seen as weak as women would be presented as.
Because of the lack of women in this episode, when they are shown on screen, they are presented in dominant manor, the way the men are within the episode. The men's weak characteristics are shown very few times like when they are dying. Which this is the opposite of how they should be represented as they should be especially if going by PROPP's theory, they would be expected to be the hero or villain and not the one that needs saving.
