Radiohead How does media language construct representations?

0:10 - mob mentality

• villagers arranged in circle, synchronized nodding

Perfect English town:

• villagers painting postboxes - splashes of red could look like blood if not in context-foreshadowing?
• later cut to him painting a red cross on a door
• cutting grass- bottle of moonshine in background
• washing windows
• longs shots, eye level camera angle
• man building wooden structure- looks already broken
• 0;33- pastel coloured houses, blue skies, 

3;00- unveiling of wicker man
foreground- inspector and mayor
background- villagers
inspector- shocked expression, drops clipboard
villagers and mayor-clap and look expectedly at inspector- seem proud and want to show it off

• tribal nature of western politics
• pressure to conform to norms - when inspector, even though he's shocked by everything he's seen, climbs into wicker man

3;37- mayor and villagers turn around and wave to camera, with inspector inside the burning wicker man

• danger of mob mentality
• harsh contrast between the brutal thing they have just done and the sunset behind
•
