    Dupain’s image ‘Sunbaker’ reflects an architectural style through visual elements shown in this image. The architectural style seen in the image ‘Sunbaker’ is very symbolic and modern. Its simple and plain but has great meaning behind it. The body shape of the man creates form and shape. The shape made from his arms looks like a large rock, reflecting what Australia’s scenery is like. This shape of the rock similarly looks like one of Australia’s iconic landscapes ‘Uluru’. Dupain’s use of the low angle shot transforms the simple shapes of the man’s oval head and triangular torso into a mountain-like shape set against the horizon. The similar tones in the image create large open space; the lack of detail and the slight blurring of the background make you focus more on the main subject, the man. The close cropping and foreshortening of the figure creates flat space. The sky and the ground being almost inseparable also force your attention more towards the man. The shadows created by the man’s body create form and help contrast the man against the background. The lack of background detail also hides all reference to a specific location making the image more peaceful and relaxed.…

    The Indigenous genre in recent Australian films have been depicted as falsely represented. Prime examples being recent Australian films Satellite Boy (directed by Catriona McKenzie) and Australia (directed by Baz Luhrmann). Though they are world-renowned the representation of the Indigenous genre shown through these films have been criticised as shallow. However Mad Bastards (2011) directed by Brendan Fletcher gives an insight of a unique yet accurate portrayal of Indigenous genre by the usage of the characters, the setting, the music and their connections to their land. It manages to be what many Australians films are not, gritty and confronting.…

    In a short period of time, Australian film have stopped depicting Indigenous people through racist clichés like ‘savages’ and ‘useless without the help of white society’, and have started using Indigenous film and television to document their culture, and encourage social change. Ivan Sen’s Beneath Clouds represents the struggles of two young Indigenous adolescents searching to discover their place in a world filled with disadvantage as a result of their disconnection from mainstream society and their own culture. Through the use of film techniques, sparse dialogue and…

    Contrastingly, Baz Luhrmann`s vision of Australia was of a form of multiculturalism. He comprehends his vision through a theatre play called “strictly Ballroom”. He became famous in a movie called “Australia”. It was expressed, where people embrace, respect, adore and express themselves through various activities each other. Stephen Johnson exhibits his idea of vision of Australia by a film called “Yolngu Boy”, where three boys search for their identity, rite of passage and the implications of belonging regardless of their dreams and visions. It explains how the aboriginal people can feel belong, respect and the preservation of different cultures and identities within a unified society or…

    This is an amusing but at the same time a sad story of the inability of the boys to be warriors. The movie is interesting because we manage to see the faces and reactions of the real Indians, the Indians who are not victims of their culture, who don’t live in the past and define themselves by the crimes committed against their people. They are just ordinary people, trying to survive and to understand and discover themselves, not their ancestors; they are the next…

    The film employs an excellent use of pathos in showing images of boys trekking across the desert while the boys are describing their journeys. The images held my attention in a way that almost possessed me. I couldn’t look away from the emaciated boy who has lost the use of one of his legs, and has to hobble through the dessert with a cane. It was impossible to ignore the little boy who looked to be around eight years old, caring for two small children. These scenes demonstrate their plight in a way that gives their stories a ring of truth, and it made me feel as though I should have known about their situations.…

    The plot is set during the second half of the 20th century in Australia. Bruce, the author and central character, is in Australia to study with the help of Arkady, a traveller of the Outback, the “Songlines” of the Aboriginals. The “Songlines” are invisible pathways that tell the story of the creation of the world. These so-called songs describe how each thing has been created, what it looks like and where it can be found. Therefore, the song can also be seen as a very precise map. The clans are called “Dreaming” and every “Dreaming” has a “Songline”. The walking of each “totemic ancestor” has created each “Songline”. The “totemic ancestors” have created themselves from clay, walked across the country and sung the world into existence, they are the fathers of everything existing. When a man “Walkabout”, he steps on his ancestors’ feet, singing. This ritual enables the Aboriginals to recreate the world.…
