MEDIA STUDIES - REPRESENTATION

In these picture, you can see that she is wearing all black, as well as wearing a weapon belt

throughout the whole film. This connotes the idea that she needs to be camouflaged for her role, as

well as well equipped to do certain jobs.You can also see that she is carrying weapons,

which connotes the idea that she is really involved with violence and needs to be ready for fighting,

or even killing enemies.

ANGELINA JOLIE – TOMB RAIDER

In this photo she is presented as very powerful and important. She is shown to be supposedly

doing a spell. This is connoted through the fact that there is green smoke around her, as if she is doing a spell. This also connotes that this is not

real, and is a fairytale. She is also wearing all black, which connotes her dark character in the film. Her makeup involves a

red lipstick and very sharp cheekbones which makes her more intimidating, as she has very

strong and striking features.

ANGELINA JOLIE - MALEFICENT

In this photo she is shown to be squinting through her sunglasses. This connotes the idea that, firstly, she is squinting to possibly focus on her target better, and

secondly, look cool with her sunglasses. She is also shown to, again, be violent, as she is holding a gun, and appears to

be using it to actually shoot someone. In this photo, her clothing is not very glamorous, she appears to be wearing some sort of hoodie and top.

ANGELINA JOLIE - WANTED

In this photo, he is represented to be very royal. This is connoted through the fact that he is

wearing royal and very expensive clothing, as well as a crown.

His facial expression is shown to be relaxed but also serious. This connotes the idea that he is

expected to be calm and collected. This still shows Leonardo to be in the center of the shot, and therefore the clear main focus.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO – THE MAN IN THE IRON PANTS

In this photo, Leonardo is shown to be quite angry. This is portrayed through the fact that his facial expression is

quite serious as well as the fact his eyebrow is furrowed. He is also showed to be ready to fight, as he is holding both his fists up. This suggests that his character in this film is

supposed to be quite violent. His costume is nothing special, he looks quite scruffy and

not groomed very well. This connotes the idea that his profession does not involve any certain look, and does not

require him to look very smart.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO – DJANGO UNCHAINED

In this photo, he is represented to be weak and vulnerable. This is portrayed through the fact that he is crying. Crying is usually seen as a

sign of weakness and vulnerability. Also, he is shown to have a cut on his cheek. This connotes the idea that he has been in a

fight recently, which then suggests that he may be shown to be quite violent in this film.

The use of the dark background (night time) is using the idea of pathetic fallacy, as it sets the

mood to be very sad and bleak.

LEONARDO DICAPRIO – ROMEO AND JULIET
