horror films in the 1950-60s Frankestein-Hammer the stage name 'hammer' came from the directors hometown of Hammersmith. He became bankrupt and started loaning out his facilities. then made a drastic action and made a remake of a BBC film making it X rated. when remaking the Frankestein he made it personal and unique. didn't copy the original film was in a colour. this was rare and really intensifies the X-rated horror. in the 4th frankestein film women were seen as emotionally unstable and deceiving. this is shown as a girl gets mocked and humiliated by male characters leading to her suicide. as she gets brought to life frankenstein makes her stereotypically beautiful(blonde hair blue eyes) and uses her beauty to lure in males. she then easily manipulated to kill frankestein. Dracula Draculas were first misinterpretated for diseases such as rabies. word 'vampire' started off in areas around Russia and Austria people had a belief that people came back...
realism and anti-realism are two sides to a philosophical debate behind the whole basis of accepted scientific truth.  at the end of the video there was a line that stated 'good feels so bad' and that could connote that the perfume smells so good that it possibly brings unwanted attention by males. the 'bad' may also connote that the person may feel guilty wearing the perfume because of the attention that comes with it. the mirrors connote that people get lost in the scent and maybe hypnotised. the transition through the mirror made her seem more confident. this also shown by the change of clothing and body movement. her body movement was more vigorous and aggressive. it made her seem bold and stand out. when she goes back in to the angelic version of her self Rihanna hides her self in her cocoon and separates herself semiotics - the study of signs and symbols as elements of communicative behaviour. used to construct possible meaning from a text.         ...
dizzee rascal- Dream Narrative: the music video has a linear structure. he talks about his own personal life story and his young teenage years and how he was able to move away from the streets to a successful rap career. he also gives a message that anyone just like him is also able to go for their dreams and move away from the street life. iconography- the video has a urban setting of gang crime and oversized tracksuits. the isn't conventional of a usual grime video. where a usual grime video would consist of the artist rapping into the mic in a studio. dizzee rascal looks inferior to the white middle class woman. subverts the stereotype male are superior. the setting of the whole video is set on her piano. dizzee rascals name was written in children's toy blocks. CONTEXT the narrative links to his troublesome childhood as he had to deal with his passed father and having 'issues' as a kid and being kicked out from school. Rascal developed his stage name as...
analysis of media text Quality street 1956 This quality street advert was published in 1956. Obviously, this time was a lot different to how it is now. In 1956 women were viewed as almost materialistic items or even a possession rather than a human. Women were stereotypically seen as cleaners or just used for sexual pleasure. This is shown in the advert as both women going in to kiss the man enticingly. The punchline states “what a delicious dilemma!” which a feminist would say is dehumanizing the 2 women and comparing them to chocolate. This also shown in the mise en scene as the womens clothing match the chocolate wrappers. Further connoting that eating chocolate can be just as pleasurable as women can be. This reinforces the fact that women were just seen as ordinary objects around the house. The male, a stereotypical middle class breadwinner is holding the box of chocolates above his crotch which could be denoting a phallic symbol within the poster. He is also centrally fram...
