The 'Young, Dumb and Broke' music video by Khalid contains a strong representation of young people. The title goes along with the already thought out stereotypes of teenagers being young, dumb and broke. However the kids in the video all seem happy and content with life and don't seem to have a care in the world. The video breaks a number of different stereotypes commonly associated with school. The teenagers do not seem to cause much trouble instead they take pleasure in having harmless fun. It goes against Hall's theory of representations and how stereotypes are created. However Khalid is aware of these stereotypes and subtly tries to subvert them. The stereotypes are based on social equality, in this case adults having conflict with the youth. However, in this video a cafeteria server joins the teenagers dancing. As a result of this it has the power to prove Gerbner's Cultivation theory in that it has the ability to change audience opinions on young people. It also has a wide number of black kids represented in positive ways, being shown doing a number of creative things.
The print screen advert that I chose is a poster for the 2016 Paralympic games. The poster contains a wide shot of a number of disabled people boldly standing in a line. Barthes theory of semiotics can immediately be seen to show what the poster is about. There are a number of signs that the people are disabled that the audience will instantaneously pick up on such as wheelchairs and prosthetic limbs. The signification is that despite their wide variety of disabilities they are still trying to achieve a common goal.

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 ...
Trailer The trailer that I chose is Avengers: Age of Ultron. It's layout is very bleak and depressing using both a mix of fiery almost war-torn backgrounds and grey, dull backgrounds to symbolise the war and conflict that is coming. The first shots do not give much away and just give little teasers about what is to come. Each shot of the character either is a wide shot or a close up of different parts of their body that the audience can easily associate with that character. Later in the trailer we get little bits of them in action. Due to the fact that it is a sequel film, mainstream audiences will have seen a previous film where they were introduced to these characters and so seeing them again will allow anticipation for the audience. The trailer also introduces three new characters who were not in the first film. Fans who are familiar with the source material will know who they are and so seeing small bits of them will build excitement. It also shows their abilities and hi...
