Lupin rewatch

' Many LFTVD's often subvert the typical genre codes and conventions to the genre it's most commonly associated with' 

Discuss how far you agree with this statement in relation to the set episode 



Typical genre codes and conventions

shot of louvre - convention of Paris

crime convention- cameras sound effect to increase intensity

Dingy scene of Paris- Assane has his hood up- refers to crime and mystery

Assane is interrogated by a gang because he owes money, he then comes up with a heist plan

They go through the plan with map/ diagram- typical crime conventions

flashback- suggest backstory- conventional crime

An auction for jewelry- related to heists and crime

flashback containing racism

intense soundtrack/ action

scene of panic inside the Louvre- typical crime convention

Foreshadowing of Leonard- typical LFTVD

Guedira is conventional to a crime/ heist genre- someone who thinks they're onto the person who's committed the crime

Claire wears typical French clothing- stripy shirt

final shot of the Eiffel tower with Asane saying I am Lupin


Subversion of codes and conventions

The Louvre contrasted with an underground scene filled with concrete- seems foreign to us as we expect Paris to be classy and beautiful

Contrast of wealth and poor- Assane wears suit under janitor uniform

Assane and Claire in coffee shop- drama conventions- romance convention

contrast to rich and wealth area full of poor immigrants- unconventional to stereotypical Paris- wealthy and beautiful 


Lupin uses typical codes and conventions with inclusions of things stereotypical to its genre. Things like shots of French landmarks are used 


The character in Lupin that subverts codes and conventions is Assane as his character goes against the stereotypical rich white French person with him being from Senegal and being a criminal which is the complete opposite of the usual French person.

In advertising and marketing it is a group within the target market. Hypodermic needle model Hypodermic needle model is the model that highlights the idea that mass media is like a needle and the ideologies of the media source get injected into the consumer. Psychometrics Albert Bandura Bandura theorises that media can influence people's values, judgement and conduct can be altered by media modelling, representation of aggressive behaviour can be replicated. Bandura carried out a experiment to show this by showing a doll being treated well by a adult to a first group, then showing a second group of young impressionable children a doll being treated badly to see the children's responses. Bandura was correct in theorising that the children shown the aggressive imagery would be aggressive however, there is a flaw with ...
