Re-presentation.

The way the media present 'something' as though it were real, it is not real but merely a copy of something. - Re-presentation.




Signs and Signifiers
1. Something which communicates a piece of information. - sign.
2. Multiple 'idea' or 'feelings' behind a sign. - signifier.
3. All signs belong to cultures.

 
Gatekeepers - the people in charge of what we see.

 
Ideology - a belief system.






Rushmore
Mise en scene: camera angles, props, setting, lighting and acting.




1. Where is the film set?
Starts off in a classroom in an all boys school called Rushmore, and then the setting changes to a church/chapel, showing that the school could be religious.

2. Describe the main characters personality
Geeky, appears to be good at maths, seems to be idolized, which doesn't seem to be true as it was all a dream, the character is more likely to want to be appreciated by his fellow pupils/wants friends his own age.

3. What is he excellent at?
Maths

4. How do other view him?
In the dream they consider him to be a hero, but in reality he's quite lonely.

5. How was he dressed?
In the full uniform, more pride in his appearance than the other students.
