Re-presentation is presenting yourself/someone differently to how they'd act or be in society. E.g by posing differently to how they would in real life.
Re-presentation (proper definition)
Re presentation is the way the media present "something" as though it were real, it is not real, merely a copy of something.
Signs and signifiers
A sign is something that communicates a piece of information.
A signifier is multiple ideas or feelings behind a sign.
All signs belong to cultures.
Gatekeepers

Rushmore-Film
Mise en scene:
- camera angle
- props
- setting
- lighting
- acting
Where is the film set?
The film starts in a school called Rushmore.It is a all boys, christian school. After the scene in the class room they move to a chapel.
Describe the main characters personality.
From the beginning you we can see that max, the main character is different to everyone else. He seems posher, or more upper class than his peers. Even if they are in private school. He seems this because he is wearing a blazer formally when everyone else is more relaxed and casual.
What is he excellent at?
The opening scene we watched would suggest that he is excellent at Maths because this is what he dreams about and this subject seems to be the focus of the scene. However we do not have enough information on Max and it could just be that he is a superb day dreamer.
How do others view him?
Again like the last question, in his head and his mind the others view him as a maths hero. In reality however, if he dreams that then it is more likely that he is viewed as a bit of a "loner"
How was he dressed?
Like the question "describe the main characters personality" it would seem that he dresses himself to be more upper class than his class mates. I can tell this by his use of a blazer and a tie.
