MEST4 Linked production: Research and planning

Image
Your initial task is to complete the   research and planning   for your production. Work through the following: 1) Confirm your  production brief . You write this yourself but it's absolutely crucial this is clear, appropriate and achievable. You should have done this already -  the original blogpost was here  - but it may have changed as a result of your preliminary exercise. Your Critical Investigation topic:  Violence and how it effects people that consume it Your Linked Production brief:  I was creating a 3 minute extract of a 1 hour and 30 minute film.

The following needs to be completed by the   MIGRAIN key concept research Media Representations  Who is being represented?  In what way?  By whom? One of the groups that are represented are villain who are shown in the movies as aggressive and unsympathetic.This reinforces the crime done by the villain which is shown in nearly every superhero film. Even though they are doing the same act of crime, they are breaking the law either being fictional or not.  Another group shown is superhero. In must superhero movies, the hero or heroine are shown to be noble and a role model to kids. However, in Deadpool, the hero is trying to benefit himself. This is an alternative view on superhero. Why is the subject being represented in this way?  Even though that this movie wasn't expected to do as good as it did, it still had the same stereotypes as the blockbusters. For example, the villain is from England. They are shown to be harmful to inno...
