Representation of Sexuality

Watch the extract once without any notes.

Watch the extract three more times, making notes on the different technical elements. Then, for now and for homework, write at least 4 paragraphs about the representation of sexuality in the clip below. Use the attached PowerPoint to help you.

Use the structure that has been stuck in to your books, as closely as possible. I want to see terminology and the word representation numerous times!

Answer the following question below, with detailed reference to specific examples from the extract only.

Extract : Fingersmith (Director : Aisling Walsh, 2005)

1. Discuss the ways in which the extract constructs the representation of sexuality using the following:

• Camera shots, angles, movement and composition
• Editing
• Sound
• Mise-en-scene

Gender Representation

Dear AS Students,

Sorry for Friday; I completely forgot to add your work to this blog. I know; awful of me!

Anyway, today's lesson was on Gender representation. I wanted to direct you to some further reading below:

There are lots of theories embedded which may stick with you, aside from the two we have covered in class. It's definitely worth a read although the focus is on women.

AS Evaluations

You are on the home stretch! Well done!! I am very proud of you all for working so hard this year! Don't let this final bit go down hill as marks can easily be lost!

Just to add here a blog from Pete Fraser who co-wrote the OCR specification for Media Studies. He guides you through some of the options for your evaluations; heed his advise!! He is the one who trains moderators on what to look for and definitely knows his stuff so don't underestimate his advise!
