representation of ethnicity in the media: Latino



  • America- high key natural lighting- happier place- more economically developed.
  • Columbia- dull, dreary- overcast weather- lesser developed.
  • American hero- come to save the day.
  • Columbian villain- drugs-crime- '60 kilos a day'- '50 billion per year'.
  • Pablo threatens the guards- 'silver or lead?'- violent- corrupt police- taking bribes.
  • First set of gunfire is from a columbian with a large gun. 
  • The columbian police are corrupt- violent- firing squad.
  • very stereotypical names- Pablo, Jose- American Steve.
  • 'Based on a true story'- scarier/very exaggerated stereotypes.
  • Narration from the American- hero- trust/empathise with him.
  • montage of money/drugs/weapons, to support the scary stereotype and to anchor that Pablo is the villain.
  • POV shot (from stoves POV) at the end of the advert- enigma code- gun pointed at Pablo- low angle, gives Pablo power and strength- he's not scared- creates a sinister feeling. 

coffee advert 
  • Non diegetic sound- music changes to rap when the gang appears.
  • tattoos in the favelas- skulls, guns, people getting killed.
  • tattoos on the farm- leaves, branches, coffee
  • purpose of the ad- to get you to buy the coffee so they can help other people escape gangs.
  • low-key lighting in the favelas- to create a dangerous atmosphere
  • bright natural light on the farm- to create a safe/happy atmosphere 
Michael Pena as luis in Antman
  • A criminal-Fights the police

  • Very big part of the comic relief of the film-Butt of a lot of jokes 
  • Loyal to antman 
  • Unemployed
  • Seems to be Unintelligent
