Taken 2

Taken 2 - Todorov
The Taken 2 trailer does follow todorovs theory as each of the five steps take place. For example the equalibrium is the family go on holiday and arrive ast the hotel where the events will take place. The disruption is when the main character finds out the family is in danger and they are kidnapped. The recognition is when the girl realises that her mothe rand father have gone missing. The attempt to repair the problem is when we see the girl trying to free her mother and father.


180 Degrees Rule

Leon - Breaking the 180 Degrees Rule






The rule has been broken purposely within this clip in order to make the audience feel awkward and uncomfortable. This is because the director is aware that the action taking place is wrong so they need to build tension to make the audience aware that something is wrong. the man within the scene is within his flat with an underage girl which is seen as bad.

Gender Within Adverts

Gender Within Adverts





These three adverts are all marketed for the female audience. These toys are aimed at young girls and all include a level of femininity. the first advert shows the audience the product is aimed at young girls who want to play a motherly role to the toy doll. although the children are very young the toy is seen as acceptable due to British ideology as adults see no problem in children playing with dolls in a motherly role as that is what women are seen to do later within life. 
the second advert is also aimed at the female audience as this toy is a female doll that revolves around fashion and beauty. the dolls all have high heeled shoes on and are wearing make up. this advert appeals to young girls as this is what young girls would like to wear.
the third and final advert is a barbie advert which is also aimed at female audiences. The Barbie doll is  dressed as a princess which is appealing to young girls as most young girls dream of growing up and living like a princess.




These three adverts are all marketed for the male audince. These toys are aimed at a male audince as they all have a level of masculinity about them. For example within the first advert we can see it is a Transformers action figure, the action figure has a primary audince of young males as they like playing with action figures that cause distruction. the second advert we see is a football tyope toy which has a young boy demonstarting the toy. Although football is aimed at both genders this toy is mainly aimed at males as the at a young age mostly only males are interested. Finally in the last advert we can see how the toy is a nerf gun aimed at all ages. this would be appealing to the male audinence as it encourages combat which the male population like.
