class and status analysis- shameless

The clip starts with some dull subdued colours, these are representative of lower class people as the colour relates to their lives relative lack of fulfilment. Be it financially or happiness. As a viewer we can see that the colours have started to change colour due to age and treatment, this could also indicate that they have little money to repaint the walls.  

The colours on the males clothes also coincide with the colours of the decor. The relatively dark colours of this scene could be aiming to represent that he is bringing darkness to the family, it also emphasises what he is saying with could give the idea that he is drunk, this is usually associated and viewed as a 'dark' think. 

The next scene shows us the rest of the family which are dressed in lighter more appealing colours, this is highly representative of the fact that they bring the light into the family that otherwise wouldn't have it, there are still reminders of their background though as, there is a solid grey wall, this is indicative that lower class people (we are indicated that these people are) struggle to get away from their backgrounds no matter how hard they try. 
The baby is dressed in pink, this is generally viewed as a happy upbeat colour, which links to them (in this case specifically the baby) being the ones to bring happiness in an otherwise sad environment that a lower class household maybe. It is often stereotyped that lower class members of society hold on to certain things for happiness, one of such stereotyped items is a baby.

Also noticeable is that they have a red front door, this could be perceived as danger, this is how these class of people are sometimes viewed. As danger is undesirable to people that could be the representation idea.

Why did dredd flop at the box office media

representation of disablity or less-abled

Why is the clip funny?
this is funny as it shows wills reaction as funny not the less-abled person but in many ways this does show and have an impact on how funny a viewer may find the comedy in this certain part of the episode as the reaction caused by the catalyst looks and sounds like a funny way to respond as its very aqward scene as it shows a silence after will apologises in panic several times     

How is the disabled girl being represented?
she is being shown as someone who is in a wheel chair where it is suggested she has a carer with her, in many ways she is presented as pathetic or pitiable as she is displaying and acting the way this ideology is described as she when she was faced with a Frisbee hitting her she has a breakdown  furthermore it is presented as humour because according to Paul hunts 10 aspects of disability we laugh at the misfortune of others and this has been the same way since the ancient greeks, this humour is d
based on a disability as it in a TV comedy it makes you automatically want to laugh            

Are we meant to laugh at the disabled person?
in many way you could argue yes we do s we laugh at the misfortune of others furthermore we like to laugh as its not a common everyday thing so therefore we don't understand it so we laugh because in many ways we don't know how to react the less-abled person having break down however you could argue we're meant to laugh at will reaction as he panics and the scene gets very aqwardly silent as he stands there so he could b the reason why we laugh but we in many ways the less-abled person is apart of the joke but will is he main part of it   

Are they the 'butt' of the joke?
the character 'will' is the base of the joke as he is the catalysed reaction to us laughing at the less-abled person  as he reacts in a way that panicked that we find funny so the less-abled person causes a cringe worthy scene is it goes silent and no really accepts an apology even though it is a accident   

How do you think disabled people respond to this?
the less-abled would find this offensive as it shows them as pitiable and humorous when a condition or a disability isn't funny and they don't laugh as unlike us they understand what it is like the be less-abled and they don't find it funny as a society cultivated to think we should pity the disabled

The importance of cross media convergence and synergy in production, distribution and marketing

Marvels avengers assemble was produced and was the biggest films of 2012, marvel is owned by Disney so therefore this automatically tells us and big budget as they are one of the ‘big six’. Disney which own marvel always or so have of the time have big budget films, the amount of money that went into the avengers was £220,000,000 and for a movie to make twice the money and cost of the film, avengers assemble on gross profit made $623,279,547 which is well over double the production. Marvel were in association with paramount pictures, this means that the big six work together to make and produce films this is an example of avengers assemble. This shows the size of the company Disney a sit has paramount another one of the big six to help in the production and to gain half dozen of A list stars, this represents how much power big holly wood movie companies have over the way films are made and how they are done with which companies. Other small companies were involved like BLT communications in which they designed and created the posters yet they weren’t credited or deemed to be important enough to be put within the film production or for the exhibition of the movie itself, furthermore this shows that small companies work along side the big six to help produce the movies but don’t take much credit and some aren’t even credited for doing something as important as the marketing. This shows that small companies work with bigger global companies to assist publishing and distributing the movie, the size is represented as they get all the credit for a good film and the smaller franchises have non credit for there work in sound effects, poster design etc. this demonstrates again the power that large global companies have a lot of power and can use this size to do what they want. Overall the importance of cross media convergence is vital to film production as its all the small companies working together to produce posters, sound tracks etc. and larger global companies to work together and produce together which gets a larger audiences due to the size and popularity of the big six.
