Binary - Oppositions Homework

Media Homework


The sample that I have chosen to use as an example to show binary-oppositions in a media text is the Film ‘Salt’. ‘Salt’ is a about a woman, who was brainwashed by Russian spies when she was young. Years later she is living in America as a FBI officer and has no recollection of her past, Evelyn Salt turns out to be innocent and instead of killing the president, tries to protect him (however this does not appear so to others, people think that she is going through with her task). ‘Salt’ is rated 12A.‘Salt’ is an action film. 

Kill- Protect
Fight- Defend
Truth –Lie
Weapon- Defend
Remember- Forget
Live- Die
Honor- Dishonor
Good- Bad
Right- Wrong 
Run- Walk

 From studying the trailer of the film I could not find any more binary-oppositions. However there might be one or two more that I have accidentally missed out, if so I will later add them to the list and then re-upload the document to my Media Blog.
