representation essay - Grey's Anatomy

In this clip from Grey’s Anatomy, a prevalent theme of gender comes through ; p articularly the element of women empowerment. A patient who is just about to enter surgery is seen to be supported by all the women the hospital has to offer. There is one nurse who seems to have a stronger bond with the patient and specifically helps her throughout this scene. This clip portrays unconventional elements but also many elements of realism.   The interaction between the two male doctors at the beginning of the scene immediately set up this unconventional gender element.

Through this cartoon, much success was brought to Disney and Walt Disney Productions was formed.   The first logo which debuted in 1937 showed the profile of Mickey Mouse and would change colours. For around 48 years, the Walt Disney company never showed an actual logo in their film only 'Walt Disney presents'. Although they had their mickey mouse logo for the company; this was never incorporated into their film. In 1985 a logo was introduced in films that is still recognisable today and sets up the basis of the logo. The logo was that of a light blue castle with the words Walt Disney Pictures displayed below it. From 1995-2006 a new logo was used that was very similar to the original one. It was updated to a lighter background and a more blue castle. The line behind the castle also stops a
