What
themes/ideologie
s explored/ how
is it suitable for
15 certificate

There are violent

scenes whether it is
imitable or not can be
argued, however there
is no emphasis on the
violence, and there is
strong language used
but words used are not
very sensitive.

I think the way the

scene applies to the
reception theory is
through oppositional
theory as there is a lot
of blood in the scene
and the violent
behavior may be
imitable.

The way the clip

applies to the
gratification theory is
through diversion. It is
for peoples
entertainment and
allows them to get
away from their own
lives and watch the life
of a fictional character.

This clip could apply to

John Hartley's theory
as it may only be
targeted at
adult/adolescent males
because of the action
and violence involved

It explores the
ideologies where it is
the people with
disabilities are always
the victims, however in
this case it is the
person with the
disability who is the
criminal

There is no use of
explicit language.
There is some nudity
however no private
parts shown. There is
some violence whether
it is imitable or not
may be arguable .

I think this applies to the

reception theory through
both preferred reading and
negotiated reading. It could
be preferred reading
because the audience sees
how dangerous this male
character is like the
producer wanted them to
however there maybe some
disagreement with the
ideology that its the
woman being the weak
victim

This could apply to

gratification theory
through surveillance. It
may be used to inform
people not to trust
everyone you meet
and always be aware
ad keep the house
door locked.

I think it applies to
John Hartleys theory
through gender and
age. The film male be
suitable for older male
teenagers and young
children and females
may be this sort of film
b]very traumatizing
and disturbing.

This explores the

ideology that it is
mainly females ho are
the defenseless victims,
and males are the
ruthless attackers.

There is some explicit

language used. Some
graphic violence is also
used.

This may apply to the

reception theory
through negotiated
reading as the audience
may argue why is it
that females are always
presented as victims
and the males are the
attackers.

It could apply to the

gratification theory through
personal identity as some of
the viewers may have had
their homes robbed and could
learn how to behave if the
viewers do come across
something like this it could
also be for surveillance as it
could teach viewers what to
do if they are put in a similar
position and how it could be
avoided eg alarm systems

This applies to John

Hartley's theory
through age group
because it is not suited
for young children as
there is some explicit
language and violence
and is more attractive
to older audiences.

This explores the

ideology that it is
mainly females ho are
the defenseless victims,
and males are the
ruthless attackers.
