Essex Boys: Case Study

2 comments:

  1. An articulate and well organised case study. You proficiently identify and interpret the way the director establishes the genre of the film.

    Next steps:
    ) Stereotypes refer to characters not objects. The van is not stereotypical, it is a "convention" of the genre and associated with the white van man...Wikipedia..."White van man" is a stereotype found in the United Kingdom of the driving of smaller-sized commercial vans,[perceived as selfish, inconsiderate, mostly working class and aggressive...."

    Jason fits the stereotype as aggressive, selfish and egotistical. His loud costume indicates confidence and that he is at the top of the food chain.

    2) The Essex Marshes also reflect Jason's lack of morality. This featureless landscape suggests he has no moral boundaries.

    You could get stronger marks if you developed your analysis, for example independently research aspects like "white van man" .

    Level 3
