Post Femenist

The film that I chose to look at in comparison to 'Flight Plan' is 'Provoked' which is a film that has the bollywood actress, Ashwarya Rai.'Flight Plan':In the film, post feminism is shown in the character Jodie because she behaves in the film as she is a male. E.g. in the film, Jodie is looking after her daughter and her behaves with her daughter is as if she is a father to her as well as a mother. She does this by protecting her from every problem even the weather. Jodie dresses like a male in the film because she wears a long coat and trousers. By this Jodie does not dress as a female but dresses more smart that makes her look like a male character.Jodie is shown as a independent character in the film and this is because at the beginning of the film, she is looking after her daughter alone and providing for her. E.g. when she loses her at the airport and takes up the responsibility of looking for her herself. Another way that post feminism is shown in the film is because Jodie is put across as a strong character. E.g. when she loses her daughter in the plane, she does not give up hope on finding her and looks in to the area where all the luggage is and keeps fighting to find her daughter even when no one believes her. This shows her as strong because she is able to deal with the problems that are being given to her and even though no one believes her, she is fighting for her daughter. 'Provoked':Post feminism is shown in this film because at first the female in the character is shown as vulnerable and weak because she is the victim of rape from her husband. In addition, throughout the film the actress begins to fight back to her husband because of what he is doing to her. She then murders him which shows her fighting for her rights and taking control of the situation. This is something that would not be acceptable behaviour by females in the media and shows for a change females sticking up for themselves.Ashwarya Rai is sent to jail for murder of her husband. She then begins to get bullied by other females in the jail. The actress then begins to stand for her rights and fights back by beating them up and cuts them. This portrays her as using male behaviour which is most likely expected by males. Ashwarya Rai is also represented as proving a point that females can stand up for themselves. E.g. Ashwarya Rai escaped from jail to prove her innocence and prove that her husband was wrong. She also helps other females who are in the same situation that she was. This connotes that the character is making a point that females can get out of this problem and not always be victims for rape and abuse. The character is represented as independent because she comes out of jail and looks after her children herself. This makes the female character be shown as independent because she can get through her problems herself.The two films show post feminism because both films look at the independence of females as in the film the two female characters are shown as independent. E.g. the female character in 'Provoked' is shown as independent when looking after her children alone and Jodie is shown as independent when also looking after her children. By this we can tell that both films are similar in showing post feminism in the film and in the character. In 'Flight Plan', Jodie also is shown as a strong character because when everyone gives up on her daughter, she still has the faith that she is going to find her daughter. Similarily, this is similar to the female character in 'Provoked' because she is also fighting against her husband and the bullies in the jail. By this we can tell that the films are very similar as they both represent females as strong and independent and by this feamles are being given more of a importance in films to overcome the stereotypes of females.

5 Best Videos

I Chose this video as my favourite vido as it had some good information given throughout the video. the colours used and images were also very good. a high level of creativity was also used for the video and the video was also straight forward and easy to understand



This was my second best video as i think that the information that was provided was good andthere was also images shown. I think that the video could be better is shots were slower so more time was given to read each point.



This was my third favourite video. i think the amout of creativity used in this video was very good as the way the writing on the notepad and typing on the laptop was. i think this viedo also gave out a good amount of information but could be better with more images.



this video was my fourth best as it had a good amount of information given and the idea of bringing in different papers with information on them was a very creative idea. this video was also very colourful but Ebi would be if more pictures were used from the internet as examples.



this was my fifth video as it had a good amoutn of information provided in the video. it was very simple but also straight forward to understand what the message in the video was. the video could have been better by adding pictures and a little bit of colour.

Self Evaluation 4 Video

Jawaria and I worked together on our video. the feedback which we received from our class was quite possitive. we got level 2,3 and 4's. This was good feedback. we god mainly level 3/4 for Aesthetics. This shows we has a good video although it could be better for the people who gave us level 3's. Some classmates said it could have been set out in a better way and it could have been more colourful. Jawaria and I came up with a creative idea of adding the soundtrack of 'Windows Remix', in the classes opinion this was also a creative idea as the soundtrack went with the video. The class assessed the video as a whole and decided that the WWW was that we has a creative soundtrack and has good information about how the internet has changed. the EBI was that we could have had slower edits and the slides could have been more lenghty.

Internet User and Television Viewer

An Internet user and a Television Viewer has totally different defenitions. An internet user is sommeone who can communicate with different people and different information in 2 different ways which are many to many, one to one and one to many. this is because the internet is so popular and well known today that everything is available on it. E.g. by being an internet user you can comminicate, shop, watch movies, watch programmes, play music, read news. the most important thing is that an internet viewer can do this all in their own time. a tevevision viewer would only be able to watch all this when it is being broadcasted or if they record it. they would not be able to watch last weeks episode of a soap unless they record it whereas internet users would have the facility to view this easily. internet users would have much more freedom to information than tv viewers, this is because they are open to anything available on the internet.

I think that i am more of a Internet user as if i wanted to find out any information about anything i could inherit a lot more from the internet than the television. E.g. if a certain song is played on Tv. you would only be able to hear it there and then, on the internet you can listen to it whenever you want and how many times you want. i also think that as a whole the internet suits me more as i can do whatever i want in my own time. E.g. i can watch my movies, programmes when i am free to watch them rather than staying commited to a certain time everyday to sit infront of the Tv.
