Kill Bill analysis COVER WORK!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4lrUR1bdRI

I choose to analysis this scene due to it relating to my text in a different type of way. These representations of women in Kill Bill is totally different to how women in Sex and the City are represented which makes Kill Bill text a good text to analysis due to being able to see major differences and small similarities between the texts.

MEDIA LANGUAGE

The opening scene is a medium shot of the main protagonist from the back to create suspense towards the audience. Due to her wearing orange it's a strong clash against her golden blonde hair maybe for the purpose to make the audience think that this women is not a typically stereotyped bimbo that just cares about her image however she is shown as a women who is on a important mission and all she cares about is to solve this mission. As the main actor opens the doors to a suspiciously looking environment she automatically steps forward to see what is going on showing her courage Independence and her being strong. Until this point we still do not see the women's face so the audience can still focus with what is going on instead of gazing at the blond women (stereotypically speaking). Whilst the two enemies are having a conversation we see the main protagonist a blond women cove rd in blood which is not a way a women is represented normally. Their is a discussion between the two women about weapons which protrayes them in the masculine light rather than the feminine. In this scene the snow is their to connote purity however when blood falls on it it totally twists it to a feircefull and masculine situation. The background music is a mixture of classical and upbeat this creates much more tension for the scene and ingages the audience to focus on what is going on.

INSTITUTION

Kill Bill's institution is Mira max films. Films is a film production and distribution brand that was a leading independent film motion picture distribution and production company headquartered in New York City before it was acquired by The Walt Disney Company. Mira max was considered an important quasi-independent studio for many years after the Disney purchase.

GENRE

Their are many genre types that can be classified with Kill Bill the movie. The categories that it can fall in to is Crime, Action and also Thriller.

REPRESENTATION

The representation of the main protagonist of kill Bill and other women characters we can see that it is not a typical representation of women. The women in Kill Bill are portrayed as fighters and do not need the protection of the man as they show that they can protect themselves due to being able to fight their own battles. This differs with sex and the city however some may be smilier such as Samantha leaving her long term boyfriend so she can be in dependant however the characters of kill Bill actually show that they can do the stereotypically man job and fight their own battles however in Sex and the City their is no violence between the women.

AUDIENCE

The certificate rate of the movie is 18 this movie can relate to both males and females aged 18 to 25. The movie can relate to women as maybe some women aspire to be like the characters shown in Kill Bill.

IDEOLOGY

This film tries to carry out the message that not all blonde's have to be portrayed and are Bimbos however this is just a stereotype created by the media. This film goes against that stereotype by showing this blond women in a whole new light showing her to be strong, in dependant and a fighter.

NARRATIVE

The scene that i decided to choose creates suspense for the audience and makes them think what will be happening next. Due to the main protagonist being a women the audience may identify with her more as we are not expecting the things that she is doing due to the audience automatically stereotyping this women to be a bimbo and only their for the male gaze due to the media.
