What editing technique is used during this moment? What connotations does it create? What is the significance of the sports selected? How could you link it to Hall’s theory?

The editing technique used is Cross Cutting, this is when an editor cuts between two separate scenes happening in two separate locations at the same time. This serves to illustrate a contrast or a link between them. The connotations in these two stills are showing physical and strong behaviour which are not normally associated with woman. Woman are seen to be gentle and do not normally take  part in physical activities and  these sports are normally associated with male dominance . The sports seen in these two stills are rugby and karate, they are dangerous to some extent and woman are rarely seen partaking in these sports. The sports woman normally partake in are tennis and netball which do not have physical contact with their opponents. The idea that stereotyping, as a form of representation, reduces people to a few simple characteristics or traits.

Video also relates to the idea of the male gaze, which was proposed by Laura Mulvey. The male gaze is a concept of second-wave feminism in which the camera (and subsequently, the viewer) are put into the perspective of a heterosexual man, thus allowing fo...

Is Riptide Postmodern

Polysemic readings - metaphorical readings, the splitting ice cream could be symbolic of a broken relationship. Therefore the cheery mise en scene presents a creepy and troubling binary opposition Horror film conventions - stereotypically attractive 'horror film victim' breaks free from being tied to a tree. Connotative of kidnapping and a violent threat. Contrapuntal imagery compared to the chirpy pop song Extremely postmodern video - use of distressing horror imagery deliberately positioning the audience in a confusing and distressing situation. Extremely strong link between lyrical content and on screen visuals - an explicit description, perhaps a binary opposition between a conventional and subversive music video On the word 'riptide' a L/S high angle establishing shot of the sea, connoting danger and death A montage of C/Us of everyday items establishes to the audience themes of travel and solidify the overarching theme of escapism Mixture...
