Summer Tasks

Task 1-

Maleficent's lips stand out the most as the red contrasts to all the black. The colour red can symbolize love or romance which leads the viewer to believe that she may have been in love once. Additionally the colour red can symbolize blood and power therefore hinting to her desire of revenge. This appeals to the audience as they want to find out her reason for revenge.

Her unnaturally green eyes portray the monster inside her, however they also are quite beautiful hinting that she could deep down have a beautiful soul. This engages a teenage audience to watch the film as they are intrigued to find out the story.

The name of Angelina Jolie can entice people to watch the film as she is a good actor and people know that the film must be quite good if they can afford to get Angelina Jolie involved

Task 2-Deutschland 83 Analysis 

The camera movements incorporated in this trailer are quickly paced and change a lot. The majority of shots are either close ups, medium shots or long shots of the main character shown. Alongside this the music composed also has a fast tempo, contributing to the increase in action throughout the trailer.
Props such as handguns, briefcases and balaclavas suggest that the series involves possible spy action and conflict. German uniforms can also be seen worn by the main character and background characters to set the time period.The majority of the trailer is narrated by Ronald Reagan's informing speech. At 34 seconds in, the shot cuts to a TV broadcasting of Reagan giving his speech. The director has done this to confirm the time period of the series.




Task 3-

Representation -

This is a negative representation towards Trump. It conveys him as a clown with face paint and a red nose, telling people the opposite message to what he wanted. The 'DAILY NEWS' has configured a story about Trump's actions in GOP ring into an iconic front cover. This cover is negative as it creates a false ego for trump around the world, and gives him jester like qualities. (It persuades to world to take Trump less seriously.)
