OCR media monarch review


Review of OCR media monarch programme

In the first screen shot Amy’s costume makes her look very young because it is very bright and vibrant compared to any other of the things on the set. Also the camera is going just above Paul’s son’s shoulder and slightly looking down on her which also gives a younger feel to the character Amy. Her posture is quite slanted to one side which is a stereotypical stance of the younger generation because of the attitude that the present to their elders.
Many of the older people in this scene have quite dark clothing which is a massive contrast to Amy’s clothing. For example the head teacher of the school is wearing quite an old fashioned suit and this is used very well to represent his age. Also the brandy glass that he gives to Paul is also stereotyped as quite an aged drink. The background of the head teacher scene is quite a dark browned wood and books around the room.
When Amy tries to work the car her facial expressions show massive confusion and concentration on how to work the gears and acceleration etc. This is a great representation of her age because it shows that she is not too familiar with the vehicle. Also you can hear her repeat the gears and foot pedals with her voice quietly; this could suggest that she is trying to remind herself of the mechanics to work the car.
Most of the older characters the camera angle is looking up at them, perhaps to suggest a slight over power and age representation.
