Analytical Approaches

These are the different types of analytical approaches to analysing that you could use:

Content Analysis

Content analysis is a systematic method used to turn items into content categories. This method follows explicit rules of coding, and enables large quantities of data to be categorized with relative ease. Content analysis offers a quick, broad overview of data sets, and as such can be used to support other more detailed methods of textual analysis.

Evaluative Assertion Analysis

This approach, based on work in the 1950s by the psycholinguist Charles Osgood, attempts to map texts and their object referents by reducing them to fairly unequivocal evaluative statements. EAA was later developed using Computer-Assisted Evaluative Text Analysis.

Frame Analysis

Frame analysis looks for key themes within a text, and shows how cultural themes shape our understanding of events. In studies of the media, frame analysis shows how aspects of the language and structure of news items emphasize certain aspects.

Discourse Analysis

Discourse Analysis examines how the social world is constituted through discourse. Within DA there are various distinct traditions including conversation analysis and ethnomethodology; sociolinguistics; discursive psychology; critical discourse analysis; Bakhtinian research; and Foucauldian research.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory- Film Analysis

The movie "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" is mostly about Charlie, instead of the original 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”. Young Charlie Bucket is so charming and excitable, and comes from such an eccentric and unpredictable household, that the wonders inside the chocolate factory are no more amusing than everyday life at the Bucket residence.

We've got two major settings in this film and they couldn't be more contrasting from each other The world outside the factory is a greedy, cold, unfair place. Charlie's family struggles just to get by while families like the Salts can afford to buy whatever they want, whenever they want.

Whereas inside the factory, there are so many different places and rooms to go to that not even the richest person would quite know where to start. The factory is even more fantastic than anyone ever could have possibly imagined. It makes the outside world look even more awful than it had already seemed. 

My opinion on this film is that at a young age watching it you just feel warm and excited by the new approaches and event that’s come with watching this film. However watching it from an age where you start to properly look at the plot pf the story you realise that there is a much darker side to this film that you didn’t notice the first time around. This makes me feel quite uneasy when watching it because it gives me a view on this film that I hadn’t realised before.                                                                                                                                                 

Under The Skin - Analysis

Under the skin.

The film "under the skin" is a science fiction based film, it was first made in 2013 and is mainly focused on the female protagonist all the way through who is played by Scarlett Johansson. Under the skin is supposed to make the audience confused and it doesnt give the answers to the questions your asking.

The first half of the film is made up almost entirely of the Female,driving around and picking up guys who she is careful to determine will not be missed. She then takes them to a house under the pretext of seduction. They are led into a room where she slowly undresses as she walks backwards. They walk toward her, but slowly sink into the floor where they eventually caught in a kind of gel. This is all done without emotion not even a hint of sadness.

However, half way through the film she comes across a man who has facial deformities. She starts off as normal, convincing him to get into her car, leading him on saying all the right things to make him think they are going to have sex. Although when they actually get to the house you can see a clear difference in the connection between them. They are Physically closer together and this is the one scene where she is completely naked with one of the men. She lets him off and is clearly scared by the experienced she has with him. 

After this interaction with this deformed man. She tries to be like a normal human and do what normal people do. Such as eating, drinking and having sex. this part of the film is the first time she ever does any of these. Ultimately no matter how hard she tried she was not able to do them, and this ended pretty badly for her, as we finally get to see what is under the skin.
