Jessica Rabbit

.What kind of character have the film makers created?

Jessica Rabbit is profoundly known for her fiery and sensual characteristics. The film makers within this scene presented her to visually entertaining and also attractive. these being the main denotations.  Her costume and appearance of red and pink represent personality and could be noticed that the colour red sets off an alarming and maybe distinctive message to an audience of her sexiness, importance and flirtatiousness. the body language used is extremely provocative , pulling up slowly her gloves and swaying her hips are just several movements in which Jessica is presented to look provocative and out going.
The setting of the scene is could be seen defiantly as Romanticised and quite city, as the local club is very social and also quite heated as some characters suggest. The scene is very flashy and has a good sense of a 60's feeling , I personally believe the figure has been created with a influence of Marylyn Monroe, yet another figure in which boosts her female assets to come across seductive and influential.(Just as Betty Boop sees her).

The idea that Betty compliments and yet adores Jessica can be seen form the theory of Laura Molveys -Male Gaze. This is the idea that Jessica is made to be presented as a figure for men and also for other women to look at too.
The shot of her assets (boobs and bum) have been focused on dramatically within this scene as it regulates feminimity and also a Powerful women. (During the time of the movie was only the uprise in womens power) .
this can be seen by some of her body language especially when Jessica pulls up the male character by the tie and then drops him. This can be seen as rather flirty yet also teasing.

From other perspectives the theory of Marjorie Ferguson's idea of invitational and romantic and sexual flaw can be seen in this scene, as Jessica is mischievous . cunning , dreamy and seductive to her peers and herself.  The focusing on her body picture and also setting shows this.

The sound of the soundtrack ''Why don't you do right'' gives an approaching and deep sense of sensual mood , this is the effect of the trills of the piano and the Jazz felling . This can be seen as sexy and popular.  The Diegetic sound within the scene is extremely embedding and fits the posture of Jessica and therefore meets the requirements of what the creators want!!!
