It: The colours on the movie advertisement have different connotations which helps us as the audience understand what the film is based around and what it will entail. For example the black background could symbolise death and evil which leads us to believe the movie is a scary thriller. The colours red and yellow stand out on the black background. Red could have connotations of blood and aggressive behaviour which also could lead us to believe the film is based around the topic of death. Another example of non-verbal communication is the body language of the human in the movie advertisement. From the image we jump to the conclusion that the person is a young child who is staring up towards a deep red balloon. The image looks eerie and the boy looks lonely so therefore as an audience we think the film relates to death and evil. On the deep red balloon there is also a reflection of a clown. Most clowns are normally humorous and funny, however this one looks like he is ready to atta...

Beyonce- single ladies: In this music video by Beyonce for the song 'single ladies', the dancers and main lead singer are presented as the stereotypical image of what women are supposed to be like.

lauren: In this scene from EastEnders Lauren is portrayed as an alcoholic who has a very aggressive temper. Within the first few seconds of the clip we automatically assume she has a problem with controlling her alcohol intake so the audience may stereotype her into a certain category. In modern media teenagers are often known to be trouble causers and are normally liable to drinking lots alcohol therefore Lauren's behaviour reinforces the stereotype and leads older generations to believe most teenagers act in this way . Towards the end of the clip Lauren punches Lucy which may be shocking to some viewers as it goes against the normal stereotype of women who are meant to be formal and are commonly known to be prim and proper. This shows Lauren's character challenges the normal stereotype that women are controlled and formal.   Lucy: Lucy on the other hand can be seen as a foil to Lauren as their apperence and personality are different. Lucy is presented as a formal ...

Construction of representations in news: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-41263147 In the BBC news article the author has constructed it by choosing certain language to represent how the fire unfolded during the early hours of the morning.

The article also shares with the audience the age of the school children who are aged 13-17.
