Ideology and binary opposition

Ideology and binary opposition


1) Examples of binary opposition from the clip are:


Immigrant vs Residents
Ruling Elite vs Working class
Employed vs Unemployed 

This can be shown in Nigel Forage saying how immigrants are affecting the residents that are born into the country but Russel Brand contradicts this by stating how the ruling elite have far advantages and privileges which can be shown their wealth.


2) Ideologies that are stated in this clip are immigrants affecting jobs but also the amount of land that people are able to live in. Also, immigrants have increased the population from a large amount causing the general population which was around 55 million increasing to around 60 million. However, Russel Brand believes that the ruling elite is to blame for the problems that the country is facing and things such as bankers having a large increase of money and not having a cap or limit to prevent the amount of wealth they have. Another ideology Russel Brand believes in is that the country has an uneven wealth distribution which varies largely from the rich to the poor.

Own clip:


1) Examples of binary opposition are light and dark which is shown by the entrance of both boxers. Another example of binary opposition is the United States of America which is symbolised by the boxer Adonis Creed who is juxtaposed with the UK which is symbolised by the boxer Ricky Conlan.

2) One of the ideologies that are represented is how Americans are patriotic and would do anything to support and represent their country, this also creates the idea that the USA is better than the UK which is conveyed subconsciously by the film as Creed is the main character making the audience support him and he symbolises America.

Mise en Scene analysis

Image
 Mise en scene analysis In this still image you see a man in a bus. The costume the man is wearing a black jacket, the colour black represented mystery, evil and death which can foreshadow what happens later to the man clarifying the shocked look on his face. In the image, the lighting is bright however as you move further away from the man it becomes blurry and harder to see. The blurring could link to how the character feels confused and astonished. The actor  in the image has a frightened and terrified expression on his face showing that he is terrified and is a state of panic and fear and also he is in a hunched position so that he can be avoid being seen which shows that he is uneasy, timid and reserved.  It looks like the character has dark rings underneath his eyes which could be the result of make-up which shows how the character is restless and is in a state of discomfort and uneasiness. The prop the character is holding is a pink jacket which he uses...

News Story 3 1 ) https://www.dailymail.news.uk/news/article-6232587/Knifeman-goes-rampage-stabs-commuters-east-London-train.html Knifeman 'goes on the rampage' on London train and stabs one person putting Hackney Central station on lockdown. 2)   3) I would consider this news story hard news as hard news tends to talk about politics, war , economics and crime and this would be considered crime. Also, the website uses a factual approach in which they explain the events and what happened . This also talks about a serious topic which is a knife man going on rampage which causing three people to be hurt and because of this I would consider this hard news. 4) This might appeal to an audience as it uses Familiarity and Surprise. Familiarity is used as it the incident occurred in the Hackney which is in the UK causing the audience who are predominantly UK readers to be effected more as it is closer to them. Surprise is used as this incident is indeed a surprise whic...
