Analysis 2:

This represents women as vulnerable and seeking protection.Ester look at him in disgust, but also for reassurance that everything's going to be okay.She looks at Bart

This is a stereotypical little girl hairstyle- which symbolises she has no dominance or power.This suggests that she is a childish character.She has curly hair with a hair slide.

This draws attention to the fact that the wedding has just been ruined.The wedding venue is in the 3rd intersect.

This is comparing a peaceful setting with a disruptive event- this creates ironic imagery.The way the trees are positioned form an arrow shape facing the wedding venue-easing the audiences eye toward the main subject. Woodland in the distance.

This is very ironic, as purity is an essence of freedom, and all those people are trapped inside.This represents purity and innocence, however with the incident which has just occurred, the event has gone up in smoke.White building

This is the scene where Bart is acting very irresponsible, and has been smoking weed before driving, this is a representation of males acting childish. He is also dressed very casual for a wedding, which suggests he doesn’t have enough money for smart clothes. He is also speeding which shows he is dangerous and stupid. He is an anti-stereotype, because men are commonly thought as powerful and wise, however he in this scene is seen as a delinquent who puts everyone's lives at risk. He is also wearing red, and red symbolises danger and blood- this could suggest his actions may have some dangerous consequence.

Women in this scene are portrayed as helpless as the girl can’t stop the van, she is also panicking a lot because Bart isn't slowing down- showing he has dominance. Men having dominance is very stereotypical. She also has her hair and make-up done to show that she cares about her appearance which is also very stereotypical for a women.
