In the classical Hollywood area and beyond there is a clear and obvious depiction of the male gaze in film and it has become particularly synonymous with the work of Alfred Hitchcock, most notably in his 1958 film Vertigo. In many of Hitchcock’s films the male gaze is not only evident but is what contributes largely to the storyline. It is used to highlight the importance of the men and objectify woman to only be seen as an object of male desire. This is successfully done in Vertigo through…

device. While both Android and Apple dish out portable technology that keeps us connected, they go about it in contrasting ways. The interfaces between Apple and Android have a great deal in common. They both use touch screens, where you can tap, zoom, and use a keyboard with the touch of a finger. Each one has a home screen, where you…

The aspect of characterisation is conveyed through two techniques - acting and lighting. We see this when side lighting is combined with a close-up shot. This highlights only half of Willy's face, leaving the other half in shadow. This makes him appear intimidating, emphasising his tough exterior.

Thanks to the growth of the TV industry and the addition of commercial advertising to TV,…

Alfred Hitchock believed that everything within a film should be less important than the technique used to film. In his quote “I am against virtuosity for its own sake. Technique should enrich the action...The beauty of image and movement, the rhythm, and the effects- everything…

Supersize Me is a narrative film by Morgan Spurlock which underscores the message of the threats of fast food and their impacts on our wellbeing. He got the possibility of this motion picture from an instance of two young ladies who were suing McDonald's for their weight. The judge decided that there is no confirmation that their corpulence and weakness is a consequence of eating from McDonald's. As an analysis, Spurlock chose to eat just McDonald's sustenance for a thirty day time span and…

In this essay I shall be comparing the representation of British youth from an actual established film and television soap. Representation is the way the media symbolizes something as being for real in reality. A stereotype is a label which involves a process of categorisation and evaluation. In the UK the British youth is stereotyped as a group of young violent, aggressive, hoodie worn, knife carrying thugs, who do nothing in their lives but drinking, taking drugs, having sex at a young age and…

another trainer not Sam doing that.” Now this quote alone shows that the film “Blackfish” can be misleading. The second statement made by Kyle was “when they’re talking about aggressive incidents with killer whales and trainers and they ended with this zoom in on one of the trainers with a bloody face, making you believe that that bloody face came from an incident with a killer whale, where I know that incident was him accidentally running in to a screen.” It is was the goal of this documentary…
