Our Targets
Martin: To use more terminology all over and to include more information within the area of editing
Grace: Use more terminology in the field of editing
Example question, how is the character of Maxie represented in his confession scene in Skins?
- Explain clip, which characters we are focusing on
- Is this character straight or gay, if gay what stereotype is this character (use terminology, which stereotype)
- What is the gender of this character, what is the relationship between this character and the others on screen (usage of shot types, terminology)
- How does editing reinforce the stereotypes of this character (prominance, screen time)
- In conclusion what stereotype is this character, and how does the editing and camera work back this up
- Make point about character, e.g dress appearance
- Does the dress express sexuality, how does the dress/location fit into stereotype
- Support judgement with evidence from the Mise-en-Scene, use specific terminology
- What sexuality is portrayed through this character, how is this reinforced by the Mise-en-Scene
- What is the characters position in the scene
- How do you film a straight/gay character?
- Does this make him abnormal?
- How does this sexuality create drama or conflict?
- How is drama/conflict created through the sexuality of the character, and how do you film a straight/gay character in conflict
- What qualities does this character have?
- E.g if 'changeable' this is a feminine quality
- How do these characteristics reinforce/challenge the stereotypes of this particular stereotype of sexuality?
- Use terminology related to camera
- How does the camera feminise/masculate the character, how do these characterictics reinforce stereotypes?
Conclusion.
- What stereotype does the character fall under
- Is this a negative or positive representation
- How is conflict created through the sexuality
