Task 4

This scene from Scarface shows a lot of violence involved with guns, knives and other weapons. The use of sound compiled with this scene connotes a tense moment. The loud bangs of gun shots and the constant view of blood provide the audience with entertainment gratifications as it being in the film they believe it is there for their entertainment.

Also the constant view of blood, gore and guns hypodermically injects values of violence into the films viewers, as injecting these views in films it connotes to the viewers that it is accepted within society and gives them ideas. Alongside this also leads to the cultivation theory as the constant exposure to this content generates certain values about violence to its viewers.
Scarface being a film made in the 80’s this kind of content was seen to be explicit, however the more and more violence we’ve seen over the years it has desensitised the audience and has shaped them to accept more violence then they would have when Scarface was made.

Showing this kind of content within films such as Scarface it can lead to its audience following in the actors footsteps and taking the role of tony Montana in society, giving way to the copycat theory.
