I would greatly like to take a moment to spread my appreciation to have been given the opportunity to speak to year 10 at the Literary Warnings and Rebellions Conference. I send my complete and utter thank yous to allow for me to create my story and share my experiences with you. I daringly say that I may have spark some sort of wicked conversation and expressed your thoughts and beliefs within the classroom. But allowed you to understand the depths in which topics and facts in the world are displayed so frequently out of our sight which will reflect throughout.

V For Vendetta: The Revolution Speech:
Inevitably, there will be moments in texts that pervade our thoughts and remain in our minds. V for Vendetta is a film of political corruption bought on by governments and power. The futuristic world bought alive by James McTeigue unfolds the devastating truth of the modern day vs. Dystopian narratives. The extract below of “The Revolution Speech” reveals the ideas of anarchy and techniques that integrate throughout V’s speech. V uses intertextuality of Shakespearean language attempting to create an atmosphere of courage and intelligent power of words. He takes ideals and places them in the mind of society creating similarities within each other, in order to desire the want of rebellion and revolution. V specifically states to the people that "but if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand age me" showing his values in that the government must change for progress to be made. This speech is clearly stating that truth about governments and allowing for people to not oblige and voice their opinions. It is a pivotal moment in the film that engages the audience and sets a scene on the arising events occurring. |
Handmaids Tale: Hanging Scence
People can become so infatuated with texts, but can remind us so simply of how impactful moments are created. The handmaids Tale is an awful depiction of the insensitive world of fertile women and the craving men have over women. Throughout this exert you will become aware of the unnatural lifestyle that these women endured while overcoming visual techniques that are continually used throughout the scene. The use of Kate Bush’s song “Woman’s Work” adds emotion and tenseness during the entire clip, a long side with close angle camera techniques. Allowing us to visualise the fear that these women are facing death and taking away so wrong their human rights. As well being isolated in an empty football field is a symbol of being alone, hopeless and abandon. Margaret Atwood has used this scene has a starting point of season two to send a message to the audience to convey a fear factor and conduct the continuing story line of power, rebellion and fear. |
