#bcotfitch What is your opinion of Abercrombie and Fitch’s ideology (ideas and values)?

What message does it signify to young people?

“We go after the cool kids. We go after the attractive, all-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends. A lot of people don’t belong [in our clothes], and they can’t belong. Are we exclusionary? Absolutely.”

Is the Media guilty of causing some girls to be body fascist (opressive/ controlling/ not allowing alternatives) towards other girls? #bcotbody

e.g ‘You are too fat’. ‘You are too skinny’. ‘You need to eat something’

This is an example of what the Marxist Antonio Gramsci called ‘hegemonic pressure’ in which people do what those in charge/ power want them to do to re-establish the social order.

We will discuss this further in next weeks lecture.

The final girl is a trope in horror/slasher films that specifically refers to the last woman or girl alive to confront the killer, ostensibly the one left to tell the story.

For your U26/ LO1 it is a good point to discuss in terms of representation of feminism/ gender stereotypes.

Verisimilitude - likeness/ semblance to reality/ truth

e.g. ‘Call of Duty’ includes a strong verisimilitude in its faithful reproduction of actual firearms.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Val Cullum has offered #bcotmedia students a great opportunity to film this year’s ‘Cullum Dance Academy’ show.

Here is the information from Val…

It will be held on Friday 19^th & Saturday 20^th July 2013 with a technical run through on Thursday 18^th.

There are six sections in this year’s show, 3 themed 3 non themed.

The themed sections are:

Attention – Military style

Angels and Demons – Dark Gothic style

Las Vegas – Burlesque/showgirl style

The non themed section

In the Mix 1, 2, 3 - contains singing and various dance style including freestyle, street, ballet, Irish and contemporary.

We would like to give your students the opportunity to come along and film the show, from the tech run to the performance.

The tech run gives you the chance to see behind the scene, for the set up and running of the show. It involves lighting, staging and sound, it also gives you an understanding of filming a live theatre performance, how to connect filming equipment to the sound decks and setting the placement of the cameras for the best shots. You will also get to see the performance before the actual show to give you a better understanding of where the dancers/performers are placed on the stage.

Doing two shows gives the film crew a chance to record the first and pick up on any errors with light, staging etc, and then have the opportunity to re film on the following evening’s performance.

As soon as I have Times for the Tech run I will let you know.

Thanking you in advance
