Homeland Essay

 Homeland Representation Essay:

In this Crime TV Drama, ‘Homeland’, we see the Representation of Women being Uplifted. In this Short extract Women are being Represented as being Bold, Strong-willed, and Persistent. In this film we see a Lady named Carrie Mathison standing up for someone who is in a tough situation. With this we also see the Contrast between Men and Women, Men being seen as rough, aggressive and violent, and women seen as Carrie. Carrie is one of the Main Characters in this Short Extract, we see this through the eyes of the camera as it Quick cuts to different Shots of her also linking to how her voice is also the main dialogue heard as well.

This links to the Sound Bridge that is created when the Prisoner is looking out the bar windows of his cell but the voice is of Carrie who was evidently talking about the man in the prison cell, linking to how the story of the Short extract wraps around the man in prison called Ibrahim. The Camera shots are all hand-held and shaky creating meaning to the place in which the film is set in being Iraq. In the film we are given an establishing Shot of Baghdad, it is dull and has an almost dusty ambience to it that helps set the scene.

Leading to my next point of the Contrasting factor of Ethnicities between the people of the US and the people of Iraq.

These Conglomerates then acquire the smaller film companies who are then called the subsidiaries. These Conglomerates are the Oligopolies of the film industry, Oligopolies being ‘a small number of conglomerates that have the monopoly in the film industry’.  Disney, being one of these conglomerates, is a good example of a film company who has to aid to the wants of certain audiences because a particular audience was concerned with the media text of certain films. This audience being the Chinese communist governm...

Greys Anatomy Essay

This short film from  Greys Anatomy Shows the core representational groups of Ethnicity and Gender/Equality. Ethnicity is seen through the different ethnicity of Women who are standing in the hallway supporting the Patient. Gender and Equality is then shown when the man standing at the door stops the other man. We almost think that he has been stopped because he is black, but then when we carry on watching we realise that only women are in that area at the moment and so there is obviously a reason why the men can not go in and only women are in there.  Sound helps us as an audience gain a better audience gain a better understanding of the story line shown throughout the short clip, this is seen through the Non-diegetic and Diegetic sound. When the clip starts we hear the diegetic sound of the hospital, as everyone is going about their day. This is abruptly stopped with dialogue when the two men talk to each other, here the man standing guardian the door is keeping watch and m...
