Video Analysis: The Office

Improved Essays
The video clip that I chose is from The Office. This clip is from an episode in The Office, and the episode is about a weight-loss competition that the company is having and the winning branch will receive more vacation days. Kelly Kapoor, as shown in the video clip, takes the competition to the extreme and stops eating. B) This clip demonstrates self-concept/self-esteem in a negative light. Although Kelly says that she looks amazing, I think her self-concept is low. Kelly says that she looks amazing following the statement that she bought a size 2 bikini. Kelly is implying that she looks good because she is thin; however, she is basically starving herself. I don't think loosing weight in an unhealthy manner or starving yourself to look a certain

    Flight 93 may have been accurate movie based on the United States Government’s recollection, but there may be evidence that concludes otherwise. Flight 93 was not a very exaggerated movie, it is filled with raw emotions of those who had to say goodbye to their families. Most of the nitty gritty details were captured in their essence but some larger details were left out completely. The movie was a perfect replica of the US government’s press release of what happened during 9/11. Some large details however were non-existent in the movie.…

    “We Need to Talk about Kevin” was released in 2011 is the film I chose for my film analysis. Out of the five films that I could choose from, I watched We Need to Talk About Kevin interested me the most and I acknowledged many interesting, and unique cinematic techniques that I was eager to talk about. The two minute sequence that I have chosen I felt was particularly interesting. In those two minutes of footage the personalities of Eva, Francis, Kevin and Celia are portrayed perfectly and clearly for the spectator to seethe psychopathic betrayed by Kevin through the use of mise-en-scène, sound effects, music and flawless acting. The first thing that caught my eye during my first watch of “We Need to Talk about Kevin” was the strong use of the color red which is highly symbolic of the inevitable bloodshed.…

    There is even a cultural conversation about males bodies and the “dad bod”. The dad bod is the justification for men to be okay that they do not have the standard six pack, toned muscle body. However, this is a use of prescriptive ideology, because some men are trying to include themselves in the “this is my body” movement that has been started by women (Hentges). Which is an another point that is made in the film of women must make sure that their bodies are in “perfect” shape even if they had children and that idea is reinforced through Kelly. Throughout the film she was constantly wearing clothes even while she was having sex with Mac.…

    The first and one of the most important concepts I’m going to link the MS13 video to is, ‘Population’. The book states that population is, a target group to be studied (Henslin 130). The MS13 population first started in Hollywood but has nearly spread around the whole world. MS13 consists of mostly immigrants from Central America, but they recruit anyone that is desperate for an opportunity to change their life. This happened because members of the gang were usually immigrants from El Salvador that came to the United States.…

On several occasions during the film, conflict is demonstrated amongst white Australians and indigenous Australians. ‘Stand Up’ on the other hand, creates a rather different representation of Indigenous Australians.…

    She appeals to the emotions of her audience by displaying the drastic measures the contestants in the video took to look “perfect”. She states, “Blonder hair, flat chest, TV says bigger is better” and “South beach, sugar free, Vogue says thinner is better”, she shows that media is contradicting itself. Clips of girls dieting, throwing up their meals, taking diet pills, not eating, dyeing their hair to make it lighter in color, and having plastic surgery were flashed throughout the video. Adding this in her video proves that the effect of media is unpredictable, and that media is unsuitable to define the beauty of females. Instead of making society beautiful, media is making society ugly.…

    Urban schools are most always portrayed in a negative light. Such is the case in the movie called Stand and Deliver which takes place in a high school in East Los Angeles during the 1980’s. This movie is based off a true story about a teacher by the name of Jaime Escalante, played by Edward Olmos, who worked diligently with a group of roughneck students because he thought that every student has the potential to learn. He believed that if the students and teacher had enough “Ganas” or motivation that students would supersede the expectations of any educational setting. Armed with his motivation he set out to teach 18 students far more math than they ever imagined they would learn; he taught them Calculus for them to take the AP Calculus Exam.…
