Life On Mars Ep1



Narrative: 
-If he has solved the case of who the mass murderer is, how comes he is still in the dimensional universe of him being in the 1970s instead of the 21st century. the episode is restricted to the audience as we only know as much information as the main character therefore meaning that we will only learn more as the character learns more throughout the seasons/ episodes- this will eventually lead us to create our own assumptions of what is/ may be happening as we continue however they assumptions could be proven or corrected the further along we get.

Gender:
- in the beginning scene of the show it is set in the modern day which shows how both men and female members of the police force are seen as equals and where female police officers can view their opinion on a case and not be looked down upon as well adjudged on their intelligence. This is evident when Sam , the main character, and his girlfriend Maya are partnered up on the case working together to find who the mass murderer is at that time, and when the cases gets intense Maya goes and follows her lawful mind in terms of who she believes may know who the mass murderer is and instead of the police force judging her and claiming she is incompetent, they only care of her after as they trust her. whereas when Sam is clipped in the 1970s scenes he goes out of his way to have Annie voice her opinion in the workplace instead of just being used to file and collect files used on cases as they aren't seen as trustworthy or as intelligent of men in the police office at the time due to the inequality of roles between male and females in the 20th century. 

Representation:
To go further, the difference I ethnicity from the modern day scene in comparison to the 1970s scene show very little to no representation of any other ethnicity/ race besides white- British males and females, this shows that in the 1970s black British people weren't commonly found in the police/ lawful industry compared to in modern day society- this is show with the use of at least 2 black police officers within the workplace in the first few scenes shown from the view of modern day society however non were shown in the scenes that took place in the 1970s, 20th century.

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. Due to her hair being tied up you are able to get the impression that she is keen to clean and that she is keen to use this product this is also enhance by the indirect mode of address made from the audience, Ye

Beyonce Music Videos

In the music video of Beyoncé's song 'Already ft. Major Lazer' is set in the environment of a black country and culture. This is evident due to the style of clothes she is wearing throughout the whole video which consists of animal print clothing, painted clothing which is often found in West Indian tribes and an outfit made entirely of gold. the style of the movie is a storytelling narrative as it is not constantly focused on her the entire video. There are clips of the other participants dancing and just being natural in their own atmosphere, I believe this is to tell the story of what black cultures are like as well as enforcing history. Because in the past stories were told through dance instead of talking or from books. As well as the video being a storytelling narrative, the lyrics within  the song itself also embed great power behind what Beyoncé is trying to express through her video and the song as well. One main key term which is easily picked up in the video is t

Analyse the representation of gender in “The Man” and “RipTide”?

  Taylor Swift- The Man   Ideology- Men are praised more than women as it is unexpected for men to carry out certain tasks for example; when the man was sitting in a park with his child playing with her. Men are able to achieve much more the women Lyrics express how taylor believes she would gain more respect is she was a man relating back to the 19 th century where women weren’t viewed as important as men The main ways that the videos represent gender Is similar in certain ways. Within both videos they show women as with holding less relevance and acknowledgement as men, women are seen as inferior in both music videos not just due to the lyrics sang but because of the actions taking place within the scenes as well. They are portrayed as inferior as in Swifts “The Man” she expresses how if she was a man she would gain more respect for certain actions that she carries out.  This is because in society men doing domestic labour in absence of females are unusual therefore consistently prai
