Why were the police represented in this way?
Shown as the bad guys- antagonist (villain)
Shown as intimidating and to emphasise the immigrants are the 'good guys'
Brutality if reality
Why represent the immigrants in this way?
Creates sympathy for them and make then seen innocent and helpless 'good guys'
Identifies with them to experience emotions
What stereotypes are adhered to or subverted to in the clip?
SUBVERTED- police are just doing their job and the immigrants are breaking the law
It shows the immigrants as intelligent
ADHERED- immigrants are packed and crowded, they are mostly black and seem unclean
The police seem nonchalant and emotionless as they are just doing their jobs.
Purpose behind the mediation of the text
It is for entertainment and to inform about reality
People's preconceptions are challenged in the clip
