Jalna's Task 6 :D
In this scene here comes from a clip showing Sugar and Kim dancing around a pole together in a club.
They are wear glitsy costumes and look as if they are drunk,representing youth culture of raving and sexuality, whilst the pink pole contrasts this as it a girly innocent colour.
The Low Key Lighting also shows sexuality and the dark side.
Clamps -
Costumes - Revealing glitsy costumes which represnts their persona being carefree and confident with thmselves and how they look.
Lighting - Low Key, shadows lowangle which Shows that the audience are look up on them, showing superiarity. The dark lighting represents Sexuality, a darkey dide to themselves whilst the Birght pink pole contrasts to thins as it a girly innocent colour which isnt usually asssociated with sex.
Props- No props apart from the Pole and their costumes, Kim is wearing black, a mysterious elegent coulour opposing to her behaviour and what she is doing whist Sugaris wear gold and red, Sexual colours.
I chose this scene as it relates to one of the theories i am studying which is Laura Mulvey. The theory of Male daze. The characters are subjects of the male daze because of their costumes and the way they are acting however becasue Kim is a lesbian, their is an idea of her not needing men in her life and being more independant.
