flightplan




A true story of a woman who was made to believe her daughter was not alive, the film shows her struggle and journey to find her daughter on her flight to Berlin.

the main character is a woman and appears to seem vunrable , this may be seen as stereotyping her as she is a woman in need and needs help making her look vunrable, the shots are made to look as if everyone is against her, in one of the shots the woman is made to be seen as if she is against everyone when the camera pans around her , so we can see everyone around her n her point of view.
kill bill is a film about a woman who is seeking revenge , in this film the main character who is played by uma thurman is on a mission to take care of some un-finished business, in this film she is shown to be strong inderpendant and tough, however women in film are seen to be as the innocent , helpless , damzel in destress , vunrable , pure etc, in this film she is all the opposites in many of the shots the camera pans around her similarly to the shots taken in the film flighplan , as it is an action film there are a lot of fast shots to capture all the action and fights happening the film also has some konf-fu influence as the film is based in asia, uma thurman is showed flying across walls, swingning her sword around and for this a lot of fast montages have been created , there also have been a number of shots taken from her feet to make her look superioir and in power , not like in most typical love films where the actress is made vunrable so the audience can pity her , by focusing the camera on top of her looking down at her. the shots have been created to make her look powerful and strong , fast thinking as the scens are very quick as they include fighting.
the film is very similar to flightplan as many shots are quick it is also an action film so she is seen running and fighting , both women are seen to be strong however in th film flightplan the charcter is shown to be a damzel in destress, as the narrative is making her look vinrable whereas in kill bill uma thurman is a woman with blood on her hands.

*It is hard to get the away from the media now days as media is everywhere. Media comes in all different form such as internet, newspaper, radio and moving images. Media has a major influence of the audience as it influences us in everyday life and influences us by buying products and item they may persuade us to buy via T.V adverts*.

*Billboards are a major way of influencing the mass media. For example if you are waiting in traffic you can read and focus on billboards around you, and as you are waiting for the traffic to move you take interest in the billboard and what it had to say*.

*However some may argue, that media is a bad influence and is; brainwashing’ young minds as well as the mass media audience. This means adverts such as Mc Donald’s has a major impact on the way children are thinking about food as they assume and are somehow forced to think that burgers , chips are a healthy and rewarding thing to eat such as happy meals as they involve free toys, which obviously attract children *

* Critics argue the media is getting more violent as for new technology they are changing. Such as violent films like ‘My Bloody Valentine’. This involves a 3d glass which enables us to as the audience to view the film*

*150 years ago media was seen as a fantasy such as even appearing on TV was major thing, and photographs were only taken by the rich and wealthy as they were new it was a privilege to have a camera take your photo specially family portraits*

*By the arrival of video and computer games young boys and girls do not go out as much they used to , as they are attracted towards theses video games which keep them occupied most of the time*

*The arrival of media has changed a lot as before media was enjoyed in large theatre audience in some way it has now split people up, there is different genres which target different aud9ences now*

*The media is often experienced by people alone, critics has talked about media audiences as atomised*
