Learner response to mest 1 exam

The Grade: 29-C

WWW:A solid set of well-organised that mainly focus on the questions. You are not far off the top grades.

EBI: Lack of depth and detail is keeping you out of the top grades. Need wide variety of responses with detailed responses to the text.

Question 3 re-write:
Family is represented as a seatbelt as they physically act to save the man by wrapping their arms around him but this is also an emotional seatbelt as they will stay with him as comfort for after the crash.

Furthermore, gender stereotypes are seen in this clip with the male of the family driving the car and the two females taking a back seat and ending up saving him. Moreover, Richard Dyers power stereotyping theory is also applicable to this clip as there is no real negative stereotype against the white male driving the car. This is also seen as quite traditional with families all over the globe with the father driving and accompanied by a partner and child who protect each other.

Another, way that family is represented in the clip is by being portrayed as protection. This is evident when the wife and daughter both wrap their arms in around the father/husbands body. This personification of the hands being represented as seatbelts really delivers a strong message to the consumer/audience who watch this video/clip. This clip follows Dyers family line of appeal as the audience will feel as if they want to be protected by family and this falls under the category of family in the 13 lines of appeal. Moreover, the clip counters the stereotype as it is the man who is being saved by the woman and girl. Traditionally, in the stereotypes, it is the man who is the saviours, but in this clip it is the women who are saving the man. In addition, the young wears a 'fairy' outfit which connotes that she's the rescuer who is going to save the man. Overall, the clip represents family as a form of unity and holds a strong bond with one another.
