The setting of the clip is in the country side, however there are 3 different scenes within the setting. The poor boys home, the manor and inside the middle class mans office. There are also 3 different classes within the clip. The poor boy and his family, the middle class officer and the Lady at the end of the clip.
The poor people are represented as proud and honest. For example when the father of the poor boy shouts and says "don't you go doollying about with that, learning not for everyone, we do alright without." This shows how hes poor but it doesn't bother him, he is happy with what hes got. Also in this scene while the boy is reading the mothers face lit up smiling, until the father shouts, so this is a very male dominated household. Also how the poor boy didn't take the fruit on the plant even though he could have this shows that he is honest and wouldn't steal. Later on in the office he also quoted the bible which could also be a reason why he is honest.
The middle class man was represented as quite snobby and uncaring about the poor. For example when he grabs the boys arm and takes him to his office to tel him off. It was only when the boy felt giddy and was licking his palms for salt then the middle class man actually showed that he cared for the boy by giving him food and drink, he then proceeded to give him a job. The middle class man clearly had respect for the boy as he was so honest and he followed the bible. Also throughout the scene the camera angles were looking down on the poor boy and looking up on the middle class man, this was used to assert power.
The rich lady at the end of the clip was represented as

Stereotypes
Stereotypes are where people judge other people on where they are from or how they look. Stereotypes can be positive as well as negative.
Here are examples of bad stereotypes:
Teenagers: The stereotype for teenagers is that they are all hoodies, and that they hang around the streets getting up to no good.
Blondes: The stereotype for blondes is that they are dumb.
Irish: The stereotype for the Irish is that they drink a lot.
Here are examples of good stereotypes:
Asians: The stereotype for Asians is that they are good at maths.

Mr Smith Marketing of the kings speech
The only good thing about this poster is that the colours matched the time that it was set in. The poster could have been aimed at the older audience, due to that the poster doesn't actually show anything about the film, for example who is the king? also why is the woman in the middle and the man on the right looking cheeky and grinning looking in a different direction while the man on the left is serious staring straight at the camera. The film was supposed to be giving off a royal, classy image, but instead gave off a comedic image. The poster is giving off a comedy genre set in the past. Also the use of the posh font anchors the old fashioned theme.
The background colour is a boring/plain colour so it could be appealing to cult audiences. The whole poster as a whole is quite boring and plain, the font used looks like a standard font, not a posh one to reflect the film.

"How does your chosen clip hook the audience?"
In this essay i will be discussing how the introduction to Star Trek:Into darkness and how it grabs the audiences attention.
Mise en scene: The mise on scene hooked the audiences attention by telling the audience that it is on a different planet (Nibiru) This grabbed the audiences attention because immediately they are told that they are watching an unknown planet. Next the use of the red forest hooked the audiences attention because it is unusual and the use of the vibrant colors of the red leaves the audience is automatically focused on that, also the use of neutral colors for the uniform and the brown branches and trunk also makes the red leaves stand out more.The use of unusual aliens also grabs the audiences attention because all of this is out of the ordinary, and the audience will be intrigued by what is going on, and how the Nibirins live and how they look similar to humans but different because of how their skin is flaky and white with black lines going throughout their faces and body.This also grabs their attention because it is still creating mystery as to why they are running from an under developed civilization (We know this from the use of spears and not guns). The use of props also hooks the audience, the scroll in captain kirks hand added a sense of mystery to what was happening, as well as the use of a Sci-Fi gun, the phaser, to stun the monster blocking their path. This grabbed the audiences attention because they see action and not just a Kirk and Spock running through a Forrest.
