Intro


Summer work


Deutschland 83’

At the start we see real footage from the Cold War in 1983. Showing the audience, the following events are based around true events. The clips are slightly blurry and haven’t been edited to be clearer, in my opinion this highlights the age and authenticity of the videos. In order to highlight the authenticity and era of this drama.
In the trailer, the director shows many close ups, for example the close up of the three men walking in a row. In this frame you can only see the feet and legs of the men, this has been done to create questions in the minds of the audience. The curiosity persuades the audience to watch the series as intend by the director.
Throughout the video we see a contrast between the east and west via the costume. In one frame the lead actor wears a German soldier’s uniform whilst on the other side he wears an 80’s red puma t-shirt. The formal dull uniform placed against the casual red shirt creates an obvious contrast in order to highlight the character’s skill at changing drastically when undercover.
Between the contrasting shots, a line has been edited to join the two scenes together, this line is most likely a representation of the Berlin Wall.
An 80’s disco track is playing in the background reflecting the era the series is set in. When the tempo of the song and voice of the narration increases in pace the clips shown have been edited to do the same. This is in order to represent the rapid action in the short but frequent frames from Deutschland 83’.
There is a lot of harsh white lighting featured in this trailer. Possibly to indicate the harsh reality at the time, as the cold war in 1983 was at its peak.  In other frames, e.g. Where the lead actor is swaying whilst hugging a young woman the lighting has a blue tinge. Blue could represent peace and tranquillity amongst the chaotic action shown in the rest of the trailer. Both the blue and the white are cool toned colours, again representing the Cold War.


This Girl Can / Are you beach body ready?

In the “This girl can campaign” women of all shapes, sizes, ages, race and religion are included.  Many shots highlight aspects of their bodies that the “Are you beach body ready?” advert does not.  For example, a woman’s stomach is shown which throughout media has been represented as shameful to have fat in that area.  This campaign is representing women empowerment by representing ordinary women that are all different and showing women that their bodies are something to be proud of no matter what shape or size.
Unlike the “Are you beach body ready?” advert which shows a very slim Caucasian female with no physical disabilities. This ad has a large lack of representation and suggest that women must have that specific body type.
Additionally, these women are shown playing different sports and exercising, this promotes a healthy lifestyle to women. It also shows that girls are capable of doing sports and should be recognised for it. However, in the advert for a protein shake the model appears to be doing no exercise at all. This promotes unhealthy weight loss by suggesting women should just cut their diets without the proper exercise needed to successfully and safely loss weight.  As well as this it promotes the already common idea that women are weak and unable to exercise or do sport, whilst sexualising women by showing a still model in a small bikini. The women featured in the “this girl can” campaign are seen in regular workout clothes that cover most of their bodies which is a realistic portrayal of everyday women.
