media theory

In todays lesson we were looking at the representation of sexuality in 'fingersmith' we discucssed the ways in which the extract from fingersmith representations of sexuality , using the following:

• camera anglesa and movements
• mise -en -scene
• sound
• editing

we then looked at these 4 factors and wrote down the dennotation and the connotation in each.
for example within the mise-en-secne the woman wore gowns,gloves ,big hats, blowses represents a sense of sophisticaton and how they are traditionally dressed for the age in which the film is set in.

For an exstension task we then had to create our own essay on the representation of sexuality in fingersmith. i learnt allot about representation of sexuality in this.
