I don't know how well I did in my question 3 yet so I don't know which bits I got right and which bits I got wrong. Therefore, I will write down some new things I learned in todays media lesson and that way I won't repeat any of my real answer.
"Talk about representations in the extract. You could talk about:
-gender
-race and nationality
-spies
-love, marriage and family"
Gregorio and Ingrid's wedding is an anti-stereotype of most modern marriages for several reasons. First, Ingrid is not wearing white but instead a golden cream colour, already suggesting this wedding is slightly different from more traditional weddings. Secondly, the guests at first glance seem normal but are in fact wearing sun glasses and very clean cut suits. They look like spies as well, and this is confirmed when they are ready at an instant to produce parachutes to save Ingrid and Gregorio from the helicopter attack. Most weddings do not have secret agents waiting to spring into action at a moments notice for the bride and groom. This leads me on to my third reason this wedding is not typical which is that there is a helicopter attack just as they say their vows, forcing the newly married couple to run and parachute over the cliff edge before being speed boated away to safety. These events are completely unlike the usual calm sophistication of most weddings.
Ingrid is a stereotypical mother because she is loving and caring to her children. For example, she checks they have brushed their teeth, showing she cares that they are clean and healthy. She also tells them a bedtime story; a cosy, happy scene typically known in many households with young children. However Ingrid breaks the stereotype of a typical mother because she hides the fact she is really a highly skilled, notorious secret agent from them. This type of secret is of course not typical of most families.
