The Bridge Season 3 episode 1 analysis
The Bridge Season 3 Episode 1 is a Scandinavian crime drama. It contains most of the elements that would usually be found in a crime drama.  The main character of the show, Saga, is a strong female detective . It is suggested that she has autistic tendencies, due to the way that she acts around others.  In season 1, this is contrasted with the Danish male detective who seems to have more empathy and social skills which will make the audience side with his point of view more.  In season 3, Saga is contrasted with the female Danish detective who seems to be more confident with dealing with her. The detective is also very straight to the point occasionally even more than Saga. This makes the audiences alignment change as we slightly sympathise with Saga more. Also it is shown that Saga responds well under pressure as when there is an explosion and the other detectives leg is blown off, Saga is quick to tie a belt around the leg to stop the blood flow. Also the fact that she even saved her life in the first place tells us that she does care about others. There is a strong representation of female characters in the show but also of people with a type of special needs

The episode opens with the victim being found. One of the more noticeable things is the eeriness of the music. This also compliments the dark lighting that is essentially used throughout the whole show. There is also a lot of artificial lighting used throughout. It makes the show feel very dark and as if it is leaning into the horror genre. The enigma throughout the episode is who the killer is and the audience is given multiple possible suspects who have certain characteristics that could make them look guilty. This leaves a very restricted narrative.

Beyonce's "Formation"

Beyoncé's "Formation" Beyoncé's 'Formation music video uses a number of representational themes. These include:  Gender: Beyoncé's body and the way that it relates to her star persona and her being an African-American woman is a key element of her music videos. She uses binary opposites as she is represented as a strong empowered woman while simultaneously being sexually objectified through codes of clothing, narrative situations and provocative dance moves. Therefore, at times, she challenges stereotypical representations of women in the music industry while also reinforcing a stereotypical representation of women who are defined by their body image. Also the sense of sisterhood in the dance numbers create a positive representation. Ethnicity: Beyoncé uses the iconography of the antebellum dresses worn by white women in the American South during the slave trade era. There are references to slavery and the relationships between plantation owne...
