Media Language

The key point to rekate to in media language in this scene is how the cinematography is used. The caera work is amazingly done using zoom in and zoom out shots with slow motions shots to emphasise the bloody gory scene.

Mise-en-scene

The props used within the scene are mainly weapons such as swords and spears. These weapons areb use to chop and slice enimies up, thetype of shots als relates to how the weapon is used, for example when a sword is weild the shot is zoomed in and is in slow motion to emapshies the body being chopped or sliced.

Lighting

The type of lighting used throughout the scene is mainly low key lighting, this gives is a dark and thriiling feel.

Editing

The editing is another type of media language used to produce tension upon the auidence. Some scence for exmaple the fighting scene conatin no editing such as cuts and fade, it is one straigjht shot with zoom in's and out and slow motion effects.

Insituition

My text is a hollywood text which makes it a mainstream text.

There was many pubicity fir this text, for example on youtube there are many differnt cuts if the film trailer and also their are differnt verson of scene that people personaly had editing themselves using home software.

Genre

The type of genre is a hybrid genre made up of action and adventure.

The adventure is made up by the story of 300 spartans going on a conquest to ave their city.

The action is made up by the props and the iconography of weilding swords ans spears, with the blood and gore splattering.

The film does contain elements of Film Noir, this sia film which is purposly eiting in very low key lighting like sin city, 300 does this as the film i low key lighting but the blood and gore is in bright red colour so it can be noticed.

Represetation

Gender

The film contains a paitriarchal society of a male dominated film screening, but in some sections, the new man can be recognised, so the sex within the fim is male but the genders can be masculinity and femininity which si the presence of the new man, but the majority of the text shows masculinity.

Women are also shown iwthin the text but they are much inferior towards men, within the trailer their is no presence of women at all.

The representations of men within the film is shown positivily as they are all maculine men, but the negative views can be said that the Female Gaze is presnet as the men are half naked.

300 is awesome no doubt about it, but i dont know theres is something...gay.maybe its the fact that 300 dudes are fighting...half-naked^^

Audience

The type of auince that woud want to watch this scene would aminly be males, this is because they would see all the fighting scene's as a scene where they would want to put themselves in, which is all masucline and male dominant, they would see all the 300 spartans as a role model.

The gender of the audience would only be masulcine males, as the testostorone witin the film is extremely high. he age group would be around 14-30, this is shown through the fact that young men would want to attact women through their masuclinity, this also could traget young single men, who see the charcters as role models with their six packs and built bodies, the audience would want this type of body to attract the opposite sex, through the survival of the fittest.
