QUESTION 3- REPRESENTATION

QUESTION 3

 Discuss the representations in the extract and refer to stereotypes in your answer.Use examples from the extract.
You may consider the representation of:

  • gender
  • race and nationality
  • love
  • family
  • criminals & heroes

Some tips from the examiners:
Some of these seem harder than others to discuss, but you only need to explore one in detail or three more broadly. Make sure you use the term stereotyping within your answer to gain more than a level 2 mark. However, you must show that you understand the concept of stereotypes by demonstrating your knowledge in your answer so avoid simply using the term without any examples. Name the stereotype clearly so it does not come across as simply your own opinion.

 The best answers for the Bond extract textual analysis question discussed the anti-stereotypical representation of women, especially M’s position of power and Eve’s active involvement in the conflict. Successful candidates were able to identify the gender stereotyping when Bond grabs the wheel from Eve. Many answers discussed the ambiguity in the representations, such as M being authoritative and unsentimental and Eve having agency yet both still not taking a full part in the violence. 
You could also discuss the contrast of professional London and chaotic under-developed Istanbul without lots of experience of the two places. There are lots of images and sounds that could exemplify what you mean.

AUDIENCE PLEASURES In Car Share there are lots of audience pleasures like:  Snowballing narrative- this is tied with transgressive humour for the most common audience pleasure used in Car Share. An example of where it is used would be in episode two the joke that is snowballed is the crude joke about dogging. It is continually mentioned throughout the episode then the joke peaks at the end where the eighty year old neighbor Ken meets Jonathan and Kayleigh whilst in the car. This also links to the pleasure of anticipation when John and Kayleigh pull over to talk to the stranger about dogging and then to Ken. The audience felt anticipation when they saw Ken approach the car and when Jonathan pulled over to talk to the stranger.  The audience experiences recognition and familiarity when the two pull over to talk to the stranger because the actor who played him also featured in Phoenix Nights, an older Sitcom than Peter Kay produced.  Familiarity is also developed earlier on becaus
