this is England representation task

children: children are presented as innocent venerable and malipuitive (think of Shaun at the start of the movie) it shows the fact that they need someone to look up to like how shaun worships combo as he docent have a dad

older people: in this is England older people are presented as protective and loving. we see this when Shaun’s mother gets angry at the skinheads for shaving his head but thanks woody for protecting him from bullies.

working class people: in this is England we see working class people as

English people: in this is England English people are presented as patriotic and are stereotyped. we see this as the activities the skinheads do is play football and go hunting.

black people:

Asian people:

men:

women:

this is England micro elements

sound: in this is England during the montage where Shaun is being taught by combo how to be racist there is minor piano music which makes the scene and shows the downfall of how Shaun has been turned from an innocent little kid to a horrible racist

editing: there are clips at the beginning that show the good and bad parts of England and what time the film is taking place.

mise en scene: in the scene where combo is giving his speech we see this take place in a dingy dirty flat. this shows us that the film is taking place of a rundown place of England and that combo lives a rough lifestyle (eg the mattress on the floor)

cinematography: Here we see a pov shot of combos as he is attacking milky. he is close up to the camera so we can see his facial expressions are full of rage and the high angle shot shows he has all the power

first response on trainspotting

in my opinion this is the best film we have studied so far. I would give it a 9/10 i loved the use of editing like the swimming toilet scene and i also liked the needle drops as they put the film together and made it enjoyable and interesting. it also showed how vile heroine is as a drug and how people will do literally anything to get some. the most memorable scene for me would be the one where rent on is hallucinating as the editing in that was really good

stereotype and countertype

Stereotypes are simple, one-dimensional portrayals of people usually based on sex, race, religion, profession or age.

an example of a movie stereotype is in breaking bad. Tuco is the leader of a drug cartel. the stereotype here is that he is mexican and dealing drugs which not all Mexicans do

Countertype A representation that highlights the positive features of a person or group.

an example of a countertype is the opposite of a stereotype
