The Gaze



                       

Representation : The batty old woman


This woman above seems like an extravagant old woman who thinks she's 20. I feel this because of the clothes she wears they are all so bold and colourful which shows she is confident or crazy. She also has blue hair and is wearing a mushroom on her head which again makes me feel that this woman is crazy.You can see she is quite wealthy because the clothes and accessories she is wearing they all look quite expensive.

However this woman is highly rated in the fashion industry working for companies like 'Vogue'. Her name is Anna Piaggi who has became very wealthy from working in the fashion industry, who is very famous for wearing over the top clothes. My judgment of this person was very wrong showing that first impressions are never the same.

Representation : The intelligent man


From first sight this man looks like an intelligent man. It looks like his job would be a lawyer or a teacher because he is reading.Also I feel that he is intelligent and successful because he is wearing a suit and looks very clean showing that he cares for his appearance. 

However this man is no lawyer he is on the wrong end of the justice system as he is a famous serial killer named Ted Bundy who is believed to have killed around 30 women in the 1970's. This again shows how first impressions can be so wrong.

Representation : The tramp


This man above looks like a tramp who is lacking money. The first reason I feel this is because of the clothes that he is wearing they all look quite rough, for example the patches on the trousers show that they have been worn ripped. His shoes also look very scuffed and used. Another reason I made this judgement is that he is unshaven showing a lack of money to buy equipment and shows that he doesn't care about what he looks like. In the background everyone else is wearing nice clothes showing that he is of a low class and doesn't have much money. 
However this man is very successful in the fashion industry and works for Ralph Lauren.  His name is Doug  Bihlmaier and he is standing outside one of the places he works. Ways you can tell he is in the fashion industry is that the patches are all stitched very neatly, the turn ups on his trousers also are very crisp and clean. His shoes are also of high quality as they are a very good brand of shoe costing him around £250. All his clothes fit very well none are too big for him. So I made a judgement on first sight however I was so wrong as he is a very successful man, who chooses to dress that way.

What influenced me to go to the cinema?




Throughout the summer I went and saw many movies, in this article I am going to explore the reasons why I decided to go to the cinemas. In the summer I went to see 3 films which are 'Ted the movie', 'American Pie the reunion' and 'The amazing spiderman'. I feel that I was encouraged to see these movies as I was drawn in by the TV commercials that were repeated often, the more I saw the TV ad the more i wanted to see the movie. I was persuaded because the adverts made me laugh or left me sitting on the edge of my seat wondering what is going to happen. I also read reviews from sites like 'IMDb' which were all really positive on all 3 films so that encouraged me the most.

The TV commercials and reviews did not let me down as I really enjoyed all 3 trips to the cinema, the experience was enhanced by high quality service from the cinema and being with my mates. 'The amazing spiderman' gripped us from beginning to end with action and suspense. The other two movies were hilarious we never stopped laughing from the word go, we even remember funny catch phrases from the movie and can't stop saying them. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at the cinema.

Overall I think that advertisement of movies is very good as I was persuaded to go 3 times. Also film review sites are very useful as you get many opinions before you go out and waste your money at the cinema. But if you get a good movie to watch at the cinema it can be a great experience and well worth the money.
