His Dark Materials-Language and Representation

 LANGUAGE 

See above for what this means (reminder- it is not WORDS but instead it is every way in which the media text communicates its messages to the audience). Remember our acronym CLAMPS to know what to comment on. 

Questions

1.Costume - what is Lyra wearing in the photo below? What does this costume suggest she is doing / she is like as a character? 

Lyra is wearing dungarees this suggest she is masculine and brave and she's carrying her sleeping bag this means she 's travelling trying to survive. This is subversive because she is a child and children are looked after by adults.

2.Costume: Mrs Coulter is always very smart and formal with red lips and styled hair. What does this suggest about the type of villain she is / her character?

Mrs Coulter is wearing red lip and styled hair and her character is very smart and formal this suggest that she is feminine. This is conventional because woman are portrayed to be  more feminine than men.

 

3.Lighting- What do you notice about the setting for where Mrs Coulter is torturing the witch? Why has the director chosen this lighting? (Hint: High key lighting is bright and low key lighting is dark).

The director chosen low key lighting for Mrs Coulter is torturing the witch this suggest that the scene is very violent and gruesome.

4.Actor’s position and movement- Look at the picture of Lyra (below). What does her facial expression tell us about the kind of character she is? What about her actions?

Her facial expression suggest that her character is worried this is because she is running away from someone or somewhere.

5.Makeup- Look at the make-up (and clothing and hair) of the tortured witch. What does the make-up tell us about the character of the witches? (Hint- think about how it makes her look unusual) 

The tortured witch's makeup suggest that she is tortured to death because she has bruises and she looks odd because Christians and priests viewed witches as evil and strange.

 

6.Props- Look at the props in these two screen shots (below). Why have the props been chosen? What do they connote to the audience? For bonus points, what is the shot type and why has this been used? 

The props suggests that the people from the shots are the children are abandoned and from a different universe because the children don't look like typical children.

I noticed that screen shot 1 is very different to our world by the building and it is deserted. This shot suggest that Will and Lyra are seemed lost because they ran away

 

Representation

Females are subversive in this extract.

1.How is Lyra not a typical female character?

Conventional female characters are usually weaker than male character. However, Lyra looks- like a typical male character. Lyra’s behaviour and actions are subversive because she doesn't act like a conventional female character because she bosses Will and be rude to Will sometimes .Lyra: how she speaks is subversive because she speaks like a young boy. Lyra: her relationship with other characters is not conventional for women because she act like a typical boy when she is around other characters

2.The witches and Mrs Coulter are also seen as powerful women. How are they represented as powerful? Are they seen as good or evil or both?

Mrs Coulter is seen as good because he is more feminine than the witches but she is evil. The witches is presented as evil because witches were described as bad people but she is good or both

3. How is Will represented? Is he a typical male character or more unexpected? How?

(Hints: think of him cooking and preparing the food, giving Lyra the bed she wants and allowing her to make the decisions)

Will is represented as a sidekick for Lyra than her hero because Will doesn't acted like a hero by letting Lyra sleep on any bed she wants. This suggest that Will as conventional and unconventional male at the same time because he is protecting Lyra but acts like a sidekick.

4. Look at the casting (people acting in this series). Is the cast diverse? How? Think CAGE (Class / Age / Gender / Ethnicity - race)

The cast is diverse because they have subversive characters such as Will who is a young mixed raced boy and Lyra who is a young white girls this suggest that the cast is diverse.

Class:Language and Representation

 Language and close-textual analysis

Co-owner of a Lonely Heart

1) How is CLASS a hybrid (mix) of teenage drama and Science Fiction genre?
It is obviously a teen drama because the characters are teenager with teenage issues such as Ram and April relationship, Tanya who is an intelligent girl who moved 3 years up because of her cleverness and Ram is sporty and is struggling with his schoolwork.And the narrative features issues such as overprotective parent example Tanya's mum got mad because Tanya is talking to Ram because he is a boy.It is obviously science fiction genre because there are props such as futuristic weapons and flesh eating pink petals.There are settings such as the school building, Corakinus' planet and the students houses.
There are characters such as Corakinus who is an evil alien who shares a heart with a human and Charlie and Miss Quill who are aliens which are from a different planet which Miss Quill is protecting charlie because she is a slave to Charlie.

2) How does Todorov's theory of equilibrium apply to Co-owner of a Lonely Heart?
A reminder that the theory of equilibrium is that everything starts off 'normal' and this is called an 'equilibrium' (like when Tanya is helping Ram with his homework and Charlie is settling in as a new student and April is organising the prom) then there is some kind of DISRUPTION (or disequilibrium) which changes the characters and the storyline. This is the moment when the Shadow Kin invade Earth through the tear in the universe and enter the school. The 'New Equilibrium' is when new normal is achieved.The episode starts off as a normal day at school when April is in history class which Corakinus is taking over April's heart which means he is mind controlling her because she is talking about war.  

3) Applying Propp's character theory, what character roles do each of the main characters in Class fit into? 
Consider who is the HERO and why (you may want to consider April, Charlie and Ram for this). How do they fit the stereotype of the hero? How do they not? Now do the same for villain but use Corakinus and Charlie or Miss Quill. 
The Hero in Class is April because she shares a heart with Corakinus, Ram is also a Hero as well because he lost his leg but he still fought Corakinus. This shows how the characters develop during the series.The Villain in Class is Corakinus because he is an alien who shares a heart with April and mind controlling her, Charlie could also a Villain or a Hero because he has a box of souls of his people but it could use this as weapon and he has Miss Quill as his slave.This show how the characters 

4) What enigma and action codes (Barthes) can you find in Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? 
find three examples of each.

 One example of an enigma code is when the portal to Corakinus' planet. An example of an action code April and Ram are having sex this suggest they will have an relationship.Another example of an action code is when April's mother start moving her legs this suggests April's mother got healed. 

A reminder that enigma code means questions asked by the episode (e.g. think of the cliff hanger at the end) and action codes mean hints of future events e.g April and Ram sleep together so this suggests they will have a romantic relationship in future episodes / April's mum starts moving her feet suggesting she may learn to walk again.

5) How is disability represented in Class - Co-owner of a Lonely Heart? Why are disabled people generally under-represented in the media and how does Class try to address this? Think of April's mum. Does she seem weak or strong?When?
