WWW: comprehensive analysis of media language & a detailed answer.

EBI/LR: representation question doesn't need to focus on advantages/disadvantages link two more paragraphs with a tighter focus on american values/ideologies represented.

Their is hegemony where one country has power over another country. And we as an audience can identify, this as we see how each of the characters are represented. As we see the american traffic controllers being confident, working as a team and are serious. As their use of language is technical and very professional which adds to the kind of way in which they are being represented. Thus the american values reinforces the hierarchy of power, as we see close up of relevant people .Where as the foreigners are quiet and sly as they were whispering amongst each other.The fact that we as the audience cant hear the foreigners, it's like they are not allowed to be heard which reinforces the feeling of danger. And creates suspense for us as the audience.

We as the audience have privileged information as we are aware of what is going to happen, and know instantly that they are powerless as they can't do nothing about it. The representation of the traffic controllers was a positive one as they are doing their work. This is also done effectively as at times we are in their identification and can see what they see. Such as them viewing the radar screen their is a close up for us, this is powerful as it gets us sutured. This focuses on them putting their priorities first, and are engaging this with the audience. As the various of shot/reverse shots and the use of handheld camera, because we are following what they are. This keeps us fully aware of what's going on, and thus our mind is sent in the way they are being represented.
