Lighting

At the begginning of the film, high contrast lighting is used to show a contrast of the main character's personality being left in the dark in juxtaposition to him being lit up as he talks. This shows an insight to what he could possibly be displayed as but still is limited to what he may act like within the rest of the film. It also shows a possible sinister side to him as you can only see him and not the surroundings around him.
Key lighting is also used to show the main character in different sections when explaining what he wants in his life.
As mysterious music starts to play and Bronson is seen pacing up and down the cage, naked, the low key lighting reflects the hard exterior he portrays, as well as the red filter which connotes blood or violence.
The rest of the lighting is mainly high key lighting to contradict what is going on within the plot of the film. It shows real day life in a positive way in contrast with the actions of the main character, which are of a horrible nature. This makes you question the personality and state of mind, of Bronson.

4. How will audiences interpret the representation within texts? Who are the texts aimed at?

• That an understanding of representation is linked to the cultural experiences and the backgrounds of the audience.
• It is also affected by the audience relationship with, for example, the individual star/event/
• environment etc.

Murderball is a documentary which challenges the audiences perception of disabled people. Throughout the text, the men involved contradict the predictable stereotype of the vulnerable and sad by portraying themselves like any other athlete. They mock each other and joke about their disability in a humorous fashion which can some times be seen as shocking to the audience. However they're is also certain moments within the documentary that saddens us as an audience. It highlights the trouble, the rugby team has with day to day life in comparison to someone who is seen as 'normal'. The team also explains how people react towards them and  how they are shocked when seeing them out at night, in a club environment. This sometimes angers the men as they believe they should be seen as no different to others. The audience appreciate the comfortable surrounding the documentary offers, with the jokes and high spirits the team offer.

The sexual positioning                   Innocent yet playful vibe is shown through them both being naked

of the man and woman

show they are intimate 

Her eye contact suggests

she knows there is some-

one watching. She feels 

guilty as the man kisses

her

Both good looking people,

tanned, good physic 

Links with aspiring to look 

like them

His hand placed on her face shows the

gentle yet masculin side of him, he has his eyes closed showing his passion 

She looks caught out and not as involved with the intimacy, like the man. However she accepts the kiss and looks pleasured.
