We are able to apply the theories of Fannon and Alvarados to the tight jeans short movie. Alvorado has in his theory four sections of which are, Pitty, Exotic, Dangerous and Humorous. This is because only some of the theories apply and fit in with this short clip. One of the theories were of Humour, this was clearly present in the movie as we saw that that characters were making funny jokes of people and themselves. They were having fun and laughing as well as making the audience laugh along with them. They made jokes of other peoples culture and their own culture. They also went against stereo types of young black people that hang around round the ends and estates. We saw that even though they had been staring at people whilst they were walking past them they did not react in any of the was black people are stereotyped, which is dangerous. This goes against black people being dangerous as they were not acting in a dangerous way, all they did was look and talk about the people after they had walked away into the distance. This also backs up being exotic, this was due to the characters talking about how black people all have big penises, this is exotic as they were proud of it and it is sexual.  This also goes against it as the characters were not pitied in the text.

The next text was a film called "Gone Too Far". This does back up alvaradoes theory as many stereotypes were used in this film. This is all about how a black man from Nigeria comes to England and plans on living here. There was humour present as this was a comedy, the director being black had deliberately endorsed Nigerian stereotypes to make people laugh. This was because the brother came to England with his culture and they way they speak with his accent and everything else. They were also shown as not being dangerous as as there were no fight scenes backing up alvaradoes theory of them being stereotyped. Franco's theory states that this Nigerian is Primitvized as he is unknown to the England culture. Francos theory states that this Nigerian is being primitivized, this is because they are new to England and are not familiar and sure with the English British culture, They were also initialised due to the Nigerian man acting idiotic and immature when it came to anything that he did, for example he started singing in the chicken shop which isn't a normal thing you'd see in public due to him not knowing the English culture .
