Defined Representations Of People Or Places

1.  Forest Gump, the main character is being represented in the opening of this film.
2. He is being represented by him talking to a stranger on the bench, the camera is being zoomed up on him whilst he is telling the lady about himself.
3. Dyer's theory has been shown in this opening because his theory is 'How we are seen determines on how we are treated' and even though Forest is being nice and offering her a chocolate she is still looking at him like he is a total idiot. Also the theory applies to her too but she is black she gets treated differently so she is surprised a white person is talking to her.
4. It is Forest's representation and it reflects on his interests by the way he is telling his own story, and by the way he talks to the audience/himself and the lady about his life. 
5. The box of chocolates is a semiotic because his saying is 'Life is like a box of chocolates you never know what one you are going to get.'
6. The meaning of the film in this clip is preferred because how you see it is how it has been intended to be shown. For Example when forest asks the lady about if her shoes are comfortable or not the operator wants the audience to understand that Forest doesn't intend for anything to happen in his life things just do for a reason and that is how the media is coming across that he is grateful for everything he has.
