Cover Work (analysis of scene from 'Hancock')

M.I.G.R.A.I.N:



M- Quick shots from train to car shows panic, and distress from the point of view of the driver, also with the quick shots it emphasises what is going to happen i.e. train hitting the car. Natural digetic sounds of the man screaming for help in the car, there is bright natural high ki lighting to show a "peaceful and calm" day, however that is not so. 'Hancock' arrives calmly and moves car out the way with ease and gets hit by the train, however the train gets destroyed and he has no scratches on him. He ends the scene by saying "Oh Shit" this shows his frustration and anger through the rude language he uses.


I- Columbia Pictures Industries, Inc


G- Action/ comedy


R- White middle-class men, as the one in the car is a stereotype of one, as he has a nice suit as well as a grand car, this represents that no matter how rich you are you are still able to make mistakes.


A- This seems like the type of film to appeal to everyone females and males from a very wide range however the certificate of the film is 12 so any male or female over the age of 12 can watch it, further the age range in my opinion is 12 - 21.


I- Patriarchy ideology as it is a man saving the day, as well as a man as the victim. Also the view of capitalism can be added as the government will need to pay for all the damage.


N- It is a straight forward linear narrative, it has no flashbacks or any other thing that could disrupt the flow, it is in chronological order and moves with ease from scene to scene.
