WWW: Some reference to media theories.

Learner Response:
Many different original and positive approaches are taken to road safety advertising in the film. One way this is done is by not using shock tactics. This causes the audience to re-evaluate their opinion about the film and is a much more different and original way in which a road safety advertisement can be shown. Another original idea was not using an actual car. This at first causes the audience to think about what they are watching, however, the slow motion zoom's allows the audience time to make their decision on weather they think this text is effective or not. The family are portrayed as saving the father. The daughter and mother are wrapped around the father representing the seatbelt. This goes against Berger's theory of "men act, women appear" because the women are doing the acting and therefore the saving. This also supports parts of Propp's theory of the father being the princess needing to be saved and the mother and daughter are the hero acting as the seatbelt. This all supports the promotion of family values through togetherness. The use of non-diegeitic classical/orchestral music helps to further the fell of the text as it matches the use of physical theatre.
