Jake you need to provide more examples from the text of binary oppositions. For example the explicit contrasting representions of race, the middle aged white business man reading the paper indicating confidence and education in comparison to the almost naked and crippled black man.
ReplyDeleteAn interesting post but more evidence is important to strengthen this and any future case studies.
Though you could have referenced aspects of the music video in more detail your research suggests engagement and understanding of how genre and narrative work. Proficient. And well done Jake an interesting case study to read.
ReplyDeleteCheck spelling. You can add revisions, i.e. referencing examples from the music video and I'll revise mark.
