Cultural Capital: The cultural resources of an individual, for example knowledge, qualifications, art, customs and tastes
Lisbet Van Zoonen- Feminist theory
- He is a film director
- Doesn't talk much about his movies in the interview but rather about English Girls
- Hitchcock is creating a hierarchy of British women (ethnocentrism, the belief that one group of people are better than other groups of people)
- San-serif font "they're like snow-capped volcanoes", is poetic. This simile is an example of objectification and stereotyping.
- By repeating the image 4 times suggests he's important
Dehumanisation of women "seductive creature"
- Mid/ close shot
- High-key lighting reveals what she's hiding and brightens her face, connoting to being seductive and pretty
- Shiny, glossy lips has connotations to romance
- Blond curly hair was the hegemonic norm of beauty in 1964
- the possessive pronoun "my" objectifies grace kelly in the caption/pull quote.
- Direct mode of address looks at camera in a seductive way, this is further anchored by the cocked angle, sexualising the atmosphere.
