Black Panther

 Why is Black Panther defined as a mainstream film?

The movie Black panther, produced by Kevin Feige & David J. Grant, is defined as a mainstream film due to the main genres allocated with mainstream films being identified within the movie such as, action, sci-fi & superhero. However although it suits majority of the criteria related to films identified as mainstream, it also suits properties of an independent film. For example, the narrative/ theme of the movie gives off escapist entertainment due to the story which consists of big/ famous stars in the media industry- for this instance: Chadwick Boseman & Micheal B Jordan etc. Unlike other mainstreams Black Panther doesn’t have a closed ending however it has an opening ending which is a feature of a independent film- leading to a potential sequel of the movie. Sequels in marinara are seen as normal due to many high end mainstream films leading into a sequel, whether they are a franchise or not. What also makes it a mainstream film is that the main aim of the movie is commercial success due to the budget used to produce the film was a lot of money, they relied on the movie to generate that money back & evidently they made more out of it which benefiting them being able to pay the stars featured in the movie, the production line/ crew, the merchandise produced to build a greater mass audience as well as the distribution system on a larger scale. The movie was financially successful as the movie generated $1.344 billion Dollars and only took $200 million dollars to make & $165 million to advertise, which means the company earned back 5 times the amount of what they spent in the first place. because the movie is apart of an ongoing famous franchise where all the movies contain an interlink with one another building a chain old storylines with only one ending overall (Endgame). This is what had given the movie preexisting audience determining them to have a guaranteed outcome in distribution already. 

How does Black Panther fit into the Marvel franchise and universe?

It fits into the franchise due to it containing an upbeat yet open ending suggesting that there is a sequel or another linking movie in the process to continue the storyline moving along

Representation In Tide Advert

  Within the advert for Tide from the 1950s, women are represented in a way to reinforce the stereotype that all they are good for is cleaning, which was what was dominantly linked to the purpose of women back then. This is reinforced due to the masthead saying, 'Tide's got what women want' portraying that their main target audience is women as every women at that time period use tide on a daily basis and can't live without it, instigated by the verb 'want'.  Women are represented as innocent and vulnerable due to the clothing that is given to them in the advert. The use of the polkadot dress shows innocence as a simple yet elegant design however the use of red lipstick shows seductive and vulnerability towards the product being advertised in the advert.

Save The Children Advert

 Camera and Editing: Within the advert there is only a use of one camera shot being a close up shot. However, it is not an extreme close up shot as you are still able to see the atmosphere/ the actions taking place in the background. The use of this camera shot to show the change in her emotions throughout the entire advert from start to end. This is also shown through the use of a ridgely structure. Although she doesn’t make direct mode of address in majority of the advert, she makes direct mode of address at the end to make the audience feel sympathetic due to the stages of emotional clips that they have watched prior. This directs to the audience that she wants their help, in order for things to go back to the way it was before and that they could do this by donating towards the cause behind this advert.  The camera shot use front to add is a close-up home it’s not an issue and close up as you’re still able to see that it’s taken place in the background this gives the audie...
