This is a still image captured from the Netflix series 'Orange is the new black' which shows the lives of both young and middle-aged females who are in jail. Usually people would make stereotypes of those living in jail as depressed or angry people. However this still image contradicts this stereotype as all of the characters look very happy or loving towards another. The bright lighting and colours allow us viewers to see great detail in each characters face. There is also not much of a setting behind the characters which allows us to focus on them only , the bland grey background allows us to concentrate on them only. The bland background also makes the main character (Piper's) orange jumpsuit stand out which is important because it may signify that she is the main character , the one you should pay attention to the most. Props are used in this still image such as the comb in one of the females hands. This may tell us that this is not any ordinary prison and that maybe there could be humorous scenes that involve a hair dressers etc. The body language in this still image again tells us readers/viewers that this may be no ordinary prison. The characters are hugging or standing very close to each other which may portray the love they have for each other . Although some of their facial expressions seem a bit blunt their body language contradicts this , telling us that although they may sometimes get upset with each other they'll always have that bond to bring them right back.

The three extracts I have chosen are quite different to each other. High school musical is a film that belongs to the genres comedy and drama. The target audience for this film is females 70% male 30% aged 12- 30. Whereas 'Madea goes to jail' and 'baby boy' have slightly different target audiences 50% female 50%males aged 16- 40. The similarities between 'Madea goes to jail' and 'baby boy' are that they both belong to the same genres which are comedy , crime and drama. Baby boy and Madea goes to jail are quite different to high school musical as they have quite a lot of fast paced scenes. As these scenes are face paced they have quick cuts and dramatic music. Whereas in high school musical there is upbeat music and less quick cuts in scenes. The target audience for high school musical also differs to 'baby boy' and 'made goes to jail's target audience as baby boy has explicit scenes which involve drugs, sex and violence. In high school musical again there is a lot of upbeat music scenes which suggests that is more of a family film for young kids.
