WELCOME MODERATOR:

MARCUS COULING

CANDIDATE NUMBER 1291

CLAREMONT FAN COURT SCHOOL 64680

Hello moderator! during this year I have worked with:

 Demi Collins 1290, Kate Bradford 1208 and Sophie Bennett 1289.

Please feel free to look at my blog post and I really hope you enjoy my work containing my G324 Advanced Portfolio. 

I chose brief 2: construction of a film trailer, which was "A Question Of Identity". I also constructed two ancillary products to help promote the film: my film poster and my magazine front cover. 

You can access these two ancillaries at the top of my blog and my four evaluation questions above follow at the top of my blog. 

Below is my research, planning and construction leading up to my Portfolio. Enjoy! 

QUESTION 2) MURDERED BY MY FATHER: WRITER ON STEREOTYPES AND HONOUR IN THE TV DRAMA: REPRESENTATION OF IDENTITY

• By fighting hard against stereotypes, the hope is you avoid homologising the subject.
• And ascribing it to an entire group of people. 
• The vast majority of whom may be horrified of it. 

To put in booklet: 

Murdered by my father (BBC Drama, 2016) offers nuanced representations of Asian Identity in that the writer Patel deals with the crucial cultural code of honour as a typical characteristic of Asian communities yet at the same time avoids stereotyping the the father as an Insensitive boor who cares only for his own reputation when his daughter Salma attempts to wriggle out of the marriage that has been arranged for her against her will.  

For Patel, "By fighting hard against stereotype, the hope is that you avoid homogenising a crime and ascribing it to an entire group of people, the vast majority of whom would be horrified by it." Salma herself struggles to reconcile conflicting desires: aware that her every move is scrutinised, she has internalised what Foucault calls 'mechanisms of power' by self-policing when she is at home and conscious of prying eyes, but her identity is more than that of the conformist Muslim daughter as she also reveals her liberated 'Western' love of self-expression and uninhibited sexual responsiveness when she escapes to see her former love. 

A QUESTION OF IDENTITY WITH MY OWN ANNOTATIONS:

I have made my own annotations on my group's film trailer "A Question Of Identity". My other group members have made their own annotations. Below is the video with my annotations.
