Compare and conclusion on the Synthesis cards (this is the answer to the question)

Apply to demonstrate

Make a Film using characters' faces in role presenting your answer over the clips (Voice of London, V's speech etc) BUT structured using these clips, and the PEAS cards

 

What messages can you read/analyse about the role/behaviour of men/women?

What theoretical perspective can we apply to our analysis (Male Gaze, Phallic/Yonic)

POINTS for analysis

"Men act, Women appear"?

V acts, Evey is nearly raped, tortured then finally acts when she becomes masculine.

(Action Hero) Hypermasculinity?

V & Theo 'naturally' protect the women. V has superhuman physical powers. Theo faces an army without any physical confrontation - scampers like a rat.

(Sex Object) Objectification of women?

Evey is dressed up for her liason with her boss, she is dressed up as bait for the Bishop. Kee is naked to show her pregnancy - is she sexualised?

Psychosexual analysis - Phallic/Yonic imagery - tunnel, train, penetration, male castration

Theo's rebirth at the start of the Long Take. V uses roses, gloves & knives/swords. Creedy's gun runs out of bullets. Guns & Tanks during the 'uprising'

Mother/nurturer? (metaphorical birth/rebirth)
Evey Births the Revolution, Kee births the baby and hope for the future, The Dr births V with the experiments

 

Father/Procreation - 'the fatherland?)
Theo is the failed father seeking redemption, Sutler is the Chancellor (Hitler) with England as the Fatherland, Jasper is the Father figure to Theo, V is the spiritual father to Evey

 

Dystopian representation of British National Identity - (Empire, Nationalism, Facism, Repressed emotions, Non-confrontational?) 'Fugees' are locked up, beaten, tortured. Suicide, hopelessness and technology to escape.

Script Draft 1 Feedback - How long/many pages?

Tarantino's acceptance speech words on the subject of feedback: "I don't want input, I don't want you to tell me if I'm doing anything wrong, heavens forbid. But I write a scene, and I think I've heard it as much as I can, but then when I read it to you - I don't give it to you to read, I read it - when I read it to you, I hear it through your ears, and it lets me know I'm on the right track." 

Rule of Thumb: 1 min of screentime = 1 page of script
