There are many gender representation of gender portrayed in this episode of prime evil. These were shown through many aspects in the clip such as through editing, camera shots, sound and mise-en-scene.
The camera shots show many representation of gender some are stereotypical and some that challenge stereotypes, this is first shown through a wide long shot when abby dressed in a very masculine clothing for example the leather jacket and short blond hair yet still looking attractive,while driving the big digger suggest power and she appears well in control of the machine since it is in the forest in a rough area. This is used to challenge the stereotypes of women of being passive and week. the shot vividly explained that through this shot as it presented the women and being strong active showing the power and control she has.this than lead on to show through the camera that she is save's the man when the tiger attacks the him through the digger, it also challenges the stereotypes of women.
Through the camera shot and angles we see the stereotypes being challenged once again, when the middle class women was overpowering the working class man.
There are some stereotypes shown in the clip via the women shown in the barn she is dressed in an evening dress looking attractive,and speak in an elegant way, This clearly presents a the middle class women through her beauty and sexuality.

On thursday's lesson we had been watching the tv drama 'LIFE ON MARS' in the lesson a few time and focuse on one type of representation in the drama. we had been purticularly focusing on periode although there are many other represantation shown through this pirticualer show.
one of the way representation of periode shown on life on mars was through the mise-en-scene. the show had started of with a modern style setting, with the wide shot of a bridge and buldings, which reprsented that this is shot at the present time. Than moving on from that shot there was close up of the main chartcter that was laying side ways on the road suggested that there had been a accident, most likely invloving a car as there was a car in the background when it showed a close up of the man and between that there were 3 more shot that kept moving closer to the charecter each time. this gave a an idea that the incedent had realated to the car, also suggested that there is going to be a shift in time becouse the car was quite old,i think this was purposely shown through this show to give idea to the audence.
The second shot that suggested that there was a shift on time was the through the costume, as the costume had changed when the charcter woke up it look as if it was from the 70's with brown blazer, a bright shirt with fleried out trousers, the mise- en-scene agian suggested a time shift was that the car on the background had changed to a very old one and also the setting where the character got up, the location had changed from the brigde and big bulding to it was very dull place that was isolated with broken dumbed buldings shows an time era had changed. the narative suggested that the place was the same but a at a diffrent time, this is than clearly shown through the narative again when the man runs out of the place an we notice a billboard with a picture of the same setting that the show had started of with(the bridge and the buildings) stating "COMEING SOON". giving a vived picture that there has been a travel back in time (period).
The sounds also show the represtation of period as the music that had been played non-diageticaly at first when there was a 360 curculer shot of the charcter, the music that played was life on mars that suggested the time shift, through the lyrics and the beat as it seemed it was music from the 70's and this was reasured when the non-diagetic sound that turned into diegetic as the charcter move to the car and it showed as it was being played on the radio in the car.

representation of social class
REPRESENTATION OF CLASS AND STATUES
In the lesson today we were focusing on the social class and how it is represented via the media.
we had been given a clip to watch of Cranford and had to analysis it
the clip had started of with a wide shot in the woods with a small cottage shown on the side and a few characters that appeared to be working class or even underclass, this was shown through the behaviour and the clothes that were worn by the characters. the second shot than was also a wide of the cottage and a working class women running into the cottage, this shot showed that the house was small and it looked filthy. there was not much non diegetic sound in the clip, there were only dialogs. when the women has entered the mise-en-scene of the cottage was very dark and bland with not many props around, they were just some basics such as tables and chairs suggesting the statues of the owner of the house was working class, inside the house there was 3 characters shown on-screen, the working class women that the house belonged to and anther that had come over and anther that was more like young maid of the house that was constantly shown working. the other two other women were shown with a close up when they were admiring the lace and as one spoke about the lace are the kind that are belonged to upper class women.
the clip also gives a stereotype of the working class characteristics, as being irresponsible and the narrative of the camera showed that when the cat swallowed the most precious lace meant for the women.
the exterior shot of the working class women and the middle class women that was carried by the men clearly defined the difference in the social statues. the conversation that took place between the working class women and the middle class lady that was carried in the carry box, did not address the working class women by their names although the working class women did when speaking to he middle class women.
there was also a anther representation shown in the clip was that when the two well dressed men were shown in a wide long shot showing there statues by the way they speak the tone and how they beahave.

thursday 27th janurary
In the lesson today we was tought by Miss Ashton. The lesson was about representation in tv drama.
we learnt what representation is, it is a prsentation of a certian group or individuals in the society that is than presented via the media. as a class we was to focuse on represntation of gender in the media, to do so we had to watch eastender's, life on mars and tipping the velvet. All of the tv drama we had been shown had a represntation of of sterotypical gender representation
we also learnt new media terms to be used when analysing tv drama.
IDEOLOGIES: a set of belifes, norms and values that are dominating an alternative.
STEROTYPES: media institutions use sterotypes becouse the audence would instantly understand them. think them as sterotypes as a visual shortcut, as they are repeated so often we see them as mormel or true.
ARCHITYPES: A ultimate sterotypes for example, blonde bimbo
CONTENET STEROTYPES: a sterotypes that are chalanged
MEN were seen dominating, powerful, tough and this was reflected in the drama life on mars and on the other two we had watched, eastenders, tipping the velvet. they all lead a stroytypes of gender as men were controling over women, they were given more pirorty.
WOMEN have a sterotype of being sexualy sabmissive, emotional, sabordentant to men, a good physic and look attractive etc. they were also refelcted in both the tv darms, life on mars this was wen the police women was neglected and didnt say anything although she was onscrean where the men were in the front and the women was shown at the background and looked less in control alsthough she was in a uniform of a police. there was a steroytpe in eastedenders aswell of womne to be well presented, have the perfect size wheras the men looked scruffy and strong.
Although eastender's and life on mars had sterotypes on gender, tipping the velvet had diffrent representation of gender and it didnt have a sterotypes, infact it had conter sterotypes which chalanges the norms and the society views of a ceratin group and traditions. we are able to identfy this in the tv drama, tipping the velvet, women are dressed as men, have short hair and have a big role to play which chalanges the sterotypical image of women, although the domenating role of men is still practiced in the episode, this was explained when the man walked through the party with the both women either side and the posture of the man and the actions he took gave an image of dominataion over the women, and also when anather man came over spoke about the wmen in front of them but without haveing direct conversation to the women but to the man they were with this gives an impresion that the two women are owned by the man.
during the lesson we also were given a task to analyse a script from THE BOAT THAT ROCKED.

EDITING
we have spend many weeks editing our movie. we had firstly started the editing procces spliting up as individuals and editing the movie in the way each of us wanted to, which took as about 2 weeks to do so.
when we had finaly done that we as a group me latasha and loren cameback to eachother to evaluvate each of the edits and than combigning all the good bits of it togather as one movie this was quite easy and conveinte for us to do that as we agreed in this togather and so there was less conflict. we have recently finshed the final editing and it looks great and we are all very confident about it. the next step would be the sound editing.
