Oh Comely Representation

Oh Comely Representation


1) The representations in Oh Comely show things such as female rights activist that are doing different types of bring to light and issues and problems that women face.

2) Examples of race, ethnicity and nationality can be shown by the Somalia women that is speaking out against Female Genital MutilationT.

3) One of the representations that can be found of women and femininity is an empowering representation.

4) As the core audience of the magazine is women and the magazine focuses on issue that women face.

5) Oh Comely could be an example of fourth wave feminism as they are able to speak out against things like sexism and misogyny.

6) The feature uses binary opposition between male and female to create a dominant reading of difference and opposites.

7) The feature "More Than Gender" shows a transgender that changed from woman to man and then man to woman which shows according to Judith Butler that gender is a performance as the transgender was able to change their gender but still retain their personality and character.

8) Oh Comely uses woman who could be considered as female rights activists as a way of empowering women but to also shed light on issues and problems that women face today and aren't focused on commercial success whereas traditional female magazines and use women as a means of achievement a financial objective.

9) Oh Comely does represents this as it shows representations of women different to how they used to be such as the front cover isn't sexualised as much as traditional magazines tend to do or magazines in the past used to do.

10) This is true as Oh Comely don't show things as facts allowing them to be interpreted in the viewers own way and are subjective.

Mise en Scene analysis

 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.

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.
