Representation

Representations.

The Man (Doug Bihlmaier)
From this image my representation of this man was that he was a tramp and because of that he had no money and no friends or family. I also thought that because he was smoking he would therefore smell which linked with his beard that come across that he had poor hygiene. The clothing that he was wearing is what made me believe he was a tramp. The patched up trousers, scruffy fashion senses, old looking jacket and shirt. But due to the way he was standing with good posture made him look confident.
But then i found out that he was a worker in a Ralph Lauren shop, collecting all the features and objects that were placed around the shop and took them to other Ralph Lauren shops so they all looked the same. In this picture though he is on a famous high street in New York smoking on his break outside a Ralph Lauren shop. He is well known for his unique and different fashion sense. The trousers have got patch work on them but it has been stitched well and they are clean, also the shirt and jacket are both clean and fit him well. But the shoes are very expensive although scuffed they are expensive and are a well known make.
The Man 2 (Ted Bundy)
From this image my representation of this man was that he looks very serious but distracted by something. Also that he is dressed in a casual suited jacket meaning he is dressed well or well presented. He seems to have been reading something off the paper which means he is intelligent. From the surroundings he looks to be in court or in a library.
But then i found at that he was a american serial killer, rapist, kidnapper and necrophiliac who assaulted and killed numerous women during the 1970's. He would dress up smartly to look handsome and in his well known Volkswagen he would persuade women with his looks and charm to come into his car then kidnap them to kill, rape or torture. In this image he is in court after being court for the first name of rape and kidnap and was put into prison for a number of years but later escaped to commit more crimes. In the end he owned up to all 30 kidnaps and deaths and was sentenced to death.
The Women (Anna Piaggi)
From this image my representation of this women was that she was dressed brightly and very uniquely but tried to look expensive and special to stand out. In this image she was no real facial expression but looked heavily made up. She has strong posture and body positioning. To me from this image she shows no fashion senses or color coordination and from the back ground she looks like she may live in flats in the rough area of London.
But then i found out that she is a very well known Italian fashion writer style icon. She is known for her very bright and different fashion style and that she never wore the same outfit twice. In this image she is in London and its London Fashion, because she was a fashion writer she got all her clothes from designers and models, so her clothing here is all very expensize and a designer brand.

  1. Your initial notes make for very interesting reading. It is important that you pay close attention to all aspects of mise en scene when looking at representation. You will build on your skills as you progress through the course. Excellent work Chloe.
