Costume transformation.



 ((Video wasn't being imbedded properly))




We used make up to transform Saira's costume. We gave her posh, elite and upper-class styled make-up on one half of her face, and a cut/wound on the other half of her face to create a comparison between the two sides almost like a split personality.

Applying Marxism

1) What does Marxism suggest regarding power in society? The Marxism theory suggests that   the mass media in maintaining the status quo, suggesting power is concentrated in the hands of a narrow elite . The larger companies make lower classes rely on them to regulate the power consistently. 2) Why is The Apprentice a good example of the media reinforcing capitalist values and ideologies? Every week the people with less power than the bosses are sent out with the objective of making as much money as possible in order to please the people in charge.

1) What positive points do the reviews pick out about  Capital ? It addresses a lot of aspects of real diverse London life, and the actors very well depict 'the loneliness of London life'. 2) What criticisms are made - either of the TV drama or the original novel? The characters were underdeveloped, with too much happening before we now the characters equlilibrium enough to empathise with them. 3) How does the TV drama change the time period and location for the story in comparison to the original novel? They move location to suit the written characters more because of the gentrification of the original location. Also, some characters were left out of the TV drama in order for the directros to be able to focus on the few storylines they did keep in the show while modifying it. 4) In the Telegraph 'behind the scenes' article, what does the writer say about the London housing market? Housing prices are on the rise and currently show no sign of plateau or decrease. 5) What
