lo-to analyse a historical film poster effectively
context-at the start of the 20th century many film depictions of minority ethnic groups supported the dominant stereotypes of time; to be pitied to be laughed at , the exotic and/or dangerous
while society was progressing towards racial equality by the 1970s some of these stereotypes were still in evidence in mainstream films
in addition it is interesting to consider the poster in the context of the move towards gender equality and increased women's rights in 1960s and 70s
Representations of genders-women are seen as objects for the men wearing very little clothes to show off.Men are the ones in control with guns and causing explosions.
Represenattions of ethnicity-All are white theres no coloured people or people of ethnicity
Representations issues and events-reflects the energy crisis that happened around the same time this was made including images of power plants etc

USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY
Uses and gratification is a theory from two men called Blumer and katz that audience take an active role in using the media.
what people do with the media
not what the media does with people
The theory states that an audience will use a media form for either one of four reasons:
Personal identity
Information
Entertainment
Social Interaction
Personal Identity
media products allows audience to find role models and other people with similar values.
Use of media to reinforce personal values by coming closer to similar and desired people/products.
Information
Any information can be learned through different forms of media.
The media keeps the audience infromed with current events
People can acquire information knowledge and understand through media products
Media allows the audience to gain an insight into other peoples lives and circumstances.
Entertainment
Use of media to escape the humdrum of their boring everyday lives.
Acsess media forms to forget about worries and troubles for a while
To give a sense of happiness and release from the daily grind.
Social Interaction
The ability of products to produce a topic of conversation between other people.
Media allows the audience to gain an insight into other peoples lives
Media products allows the audience to break don barriers of time/distance to communicate with others
Personal Identity is applied to social media because it helps people find inspiration and explore new styles helping them for example on instagram there is influencers who help to inspire people and promote products that people might be interested in, also youtube a lot of influencers on there post tutorials and room tours which can help people find what there style is and what they are interested in.
