Freuds Theory within The Vampire Diaries

 Example of id ego and super ego:


In this video of The vampire diaries, Id is presented by Damon Salvatore, a careless, selfish person fixated on fulfilling his own desires no matter the consequences. He is shown as the id as he forces Elena to drink his blood so as if she dies she comes back and he can see her still, despite the fact that he knows she does not wish to be a vampire and gave her no say in the matter. Stefan Salvatore is presented as the super ego, an empathetic, caring person, fixated on ensuring Elena is safe and still gets to live a "normal" life. He is shown as the super ego when he rushes in and stops Damon, reminding him of the ethical issues behind what he was doing. Elena is presented as the Ego, often unsure, and following a mix of Damon and Stefans advice throughout the show. She is presented as ego in this scene as whilst the two brothers fight for control she ultimately choses to remove Damon from the situation, acting as the ego (deciding on the balance between the two).

I kept the line of dialogue that was well received. I have. attached a video of the meeting to provide e

What is British New wave British New Wave, otherwise specified as kitchen sink dramas, weren't like the previous typical advertisements for the British way of life, they were unpolished and soon developed into gritty features called "angry young man films". These were typically set in Northern England during the late 1950s and early 1960s. The narratives of these films usually dealt with the problems of the working class, such as: Unhappy marriages alcoholism secret affairs unplanned pregnancies barroom brawls generation gaps Influences/ intent A large amount of British New Wave was inspired by 1940s work of american auteur and 1940s Italian realism. Many British New Wave filmmakers took influence from french new wave filmmakers who used specific techniques to convey realism, such as: Location shots to add documentary feel Real people (not actors) as extras Hand held cameras Black and white footage Reference to the camera men as well as photographers Long tracking shots u

Analysis of 3 promotional videos

Nintendo Switch: Two brothers AD  The purpose of this advertisement is to promote the Nintendo Switch gaming console. It does this by suggesting the idea that nintendo brings people together, even two brothers who never get along and using nostalgia to appeal to older generations. It does this through use of sound, camera and lighting, shot types, editing and misce-en-scene. Genre tropes: how are they/aren't followed Within this advertisement, nintendo, along with many other console brands, use subtle references to games and owned and created by them,so as to show their products. Nintendo puts heavy emphasis on nostalgia and how their past products effected their target audience reminding them that their products have been accepted well from their beginning. An example of this is the scene where it shows the two brothers throughout theirs lives using past products and this being the only time they get along. Where as companies such as Xbox put more emphasis on the mystery behind th
