Clip Analysis

Media Language: A black and white effect to coincide with the film noir genre. Low-key lighting creates dramatic emotion within the scene, which emphasises shadows, lighting on the face. It also allows the one colour style to have a more dramatic effect.

Representation: Marv leaves the female character behind in the car which shows a patriarchal society as he 'has' to protect the weaker female. The female is also very thin, blonde, red lips which all show her feminitiy. Where as Marv is big, muscular, his face is cut up which all emphasize his masculinity. They both conform to stereotypes.

Ideology: Goes along with today’s idea of society, women are weaker then men and need them to save the day.

Narrative: Marv has to fight Kevin (the canibal guy) , he arrives at the farm with a blonde women, he makes her wait in the car, and he tells her to go if he doesn't come back in the next 20 minutes, which shows how a man has to save the day,
