Audience Flow- This is the extension of an audience. eg clustering similar programmes together.
This can be used for my independat study as the director has put chapters together effectively for the audience yo flow throygh.
Binary Opposition- This is the term used by Claude Levi-Strauss that structures aroubd oppositional elements. e.g-Good and Evil, Life and Death.
For my independant study i can show the opposition between The Bride and Bill.
Connotation- This shows the meaning of an image and what is behind it.
In Kill Bill i could use Uma Thurmans Sword as this has meanings of power and authority.
Feminism- This is a political movement to advance the status of females in todays society.
Kill Bill can show how females have adapted.
Hypothesis- A theory or supposition of the possible pattern of causes and effects.
Can see contemporary representations of females can bee seen in Kill Bill.
Intertextuality- consists of deliberately including reference to one text in the narrative of another.
I can refer this to my study as I can make many references to westerns, gangsters, and Japanese samurai films.
Male Gaze- Laura Mulvey used this term in her essay ‘visual pleasures’ and Narrative, to describe what she saw as the male point of view adopted by the camera.
Miramax- Film Corporation founded by Harvey and bob Weinstein.
Can relate to Kill Bill as they produce it.
Post Feminism- a perspective, which takes the achievements of feminism for granted, and views it ineffectively in identifying the current position of women.
Uma Thurman can be seen to achieve her main targets in the movies and have a lot of power and authority for such a female.
Sadism- this shows the audience having pleasure at watching other people’s pain.
I can relate this to Kill Bill as Uma Thurman uses her strength to kill many of her opposition and the audience are watching it and enjoying the pain of seeing other people suffer.

Kill Bill Textual Analysis
The text I am going to analyse is a film clip from Kill Bill Vol 2. The scene involves two women having a brutal fight using swords. The setting of the scene is in a outdoor area in the winter time, this can be identified by the snow on the floor.
In the scene both women are shown wearing tight clothing which emphasises the appeal of the film to men, this can also support an the male gaze is required to make the film appeal to men audience. The lighting used in the clip is low-key lighting, the use of this style of lighting may have been used to dramatise the atmosphere, as the scene is somewhat tense. Both women in the scene are equipped with swords, which makes the women look more dominant and powerful figure in the scene. The scene also challenges stereotypes as in the scene one of the female has blonde hair that are stereotyped as unintelligent females but in this scene she is far from it as she is shown as a strong female figure.
The women in the scene are shown fighting viscously constantly through out the scene, which shows that the women are embedded with male characteristics, which can argue that women have adapted a male characteristic to be shown powerful.
The genre of the film is an action fantasy as many fighting parts are dramatised. This genre can be identified as the scene is of two woman fighting which connotes the fast pace connotation of the film. Woman in the scene are represented as dominant powerful figures this can be supported due to the use of props such as swords.
The institution of kill bill is Miramax, which is a large film producer in Hollywood. From the institution we can identify the film is a mainstream high budget film.
