Representation

In lessons we started to look at how films are REpresented using : 

Colours
Camera angles
Sound/Music
Facial expressions
Lighting
Make-up
Setting

We watched a film clip from Darth Vader 4 times we had to look how they used these concepts to create meaning and convey certain ideas.
Setting and props
- There were dead bodies on the floor around Darth Vader suggesting he is the most powerful.
- Storm Troopers were all carrying guns accept Darth Vader, emphasising the power that Darth Vader has as he doesn't need weapons to fight.
- The setting is all white showing its futuristic.
Costume, Hair and make-up
- Darth Vader enters the scene in all black which makes him stand out to all the storm troopers who are in white showing he is more important.
- Darth Vader is also wearing a cloak showing his dominance over the troopers.
- You cant see the storm troopers faces suggesting they are not important.

Body language and Facial expressions
- The storm troopers react immediately to the entrance of Darth Vader by standing up straight and stopping what they are doing, showing that they are controlled by Darth Vader, representing his importance.
- When Darth Vader enters he looks down on the dead corpse on the floor showing that he is a villain.

Lighting and colour
- Red lasers shows death and viscous behaviour also danger. 
- Everything this very bright in the scene which contrasts to the destruction around.

From this I learnt that the producers and directors can manipulate the way the audience see a film/clip by creating certain ideas in which the audience can interpret.
