textual analysis

(Textual analysis of pain and gain) Evidently in this it really does give of the ambience of masculism from the props on set to the interaction with the store owner; from this clip it does ultimately suggest that rock is the more dominate individual. For example from this wide angle shot the ideology of the hand shake suggest that rock is pulling the weaker shop owner around to show his dominance in the room. Furthermore the three “henchmen” used their male representation to gain access to the guns but also subvert the attention away to the real reason why they need the guns in the first reasons is to kidnap Kershaw. In summery from the clip its evident the man in the red t-shirt is weaker and for him to show his “alpha male” he got “Anthony Mackie” too shot him with the Tasers.   Therefore this is a screening of masochism and from “fight club takes a beating: Masculinity, Masochism and the politics of disavowal” ...

Research plan (media texts, academic texts and websites)

Media texts What your main focus will be, E.g.: Firstly, my main focus is going to be on Pain and Gain which is a highly masculinised film and this is because of the fact that Text features well know actors that have a impact on young audience this such as Dwayne Jonson in particular.   Other media texts 1.    Steroids under the skin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2wyEJMp9HE 2.    Pumping Iron: pre 21 st century featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. 3.    Perfect Physique: it states on IMDB “To acquire the best physiques in the world takes relentless desire, fierce drive and unwavering discipline.

Essay plan tutorial: 18/12/2017

Introduction – need a lot more clarity here. Put your essay question above the intro and make sure you are answering the question and setting out an argument. What do you plan to investigate in terms of masculinity in Hollywood films? I would focus on the effect these representations have on a male audience. 250 words. Section 1 – historical texts / historical context. Good start – that works with the question, it will provide context for the debate. You can use material from the docudrama but I’d also use a Hollywood action film too (otherwise it’ll be too different to Pain and Gain). One of Arnie’s films from the 80s?

Media key concepts etc. Quotes/reviews etc. That quote looks great but you’ll need to properly contextualise it. I would focus here on how much things have changed (if at all) in Hollywood films over the last 40 years. 500 words. Section 3 – Research ...
