I have found what I believe are useful learning resources for postmodernism in media. I chose these 3 posters, because pastiche is key to these as they are twists on the reality that we actually know. For example the machine run world of The Matrix, the gang culture in This is england and the adrenaline filled action of Hot Fuzz all of which used pastiche to construct new identities. I chose these two trailers, because Doctor who is a prime example of pstmodern TV. It combines new ideas of reality with all the monsters, aliens and new worlds with the reality that we all know and recognise and therefore it plays with postmodern ideologies like cultural diversity and pastiche. Daybreakers is a new film that has come up where vampires rule the world and farm humans for blood to keep the vampire population alive. This is a similar idea to the matrix with the idea of an alternative reality and the insuperiority of the human races and all its weaknesses with the race on to save the human race from extinction.
