Cuffs representation Exam Q1


Media Cuffs Exam Question Q1



Analyse how representation is used in the episode to create
meaning for a mainstream pre watershed audience



 One of the characters, Jake, is represented as white homosexual
male police officer we know this because in the car Jake says “I’m
gay 22, dad is the superintendent and rookie police officer” this shows how in society that being gay is accepted especially when he tells this to Ryan and he shows no surprise, shows no difference in the way he treats Jake  He challenges the gay stereotype by being a police officer rather than stereotypically being in the fashion industry this creates meaning
for the audience  by showing that we don’t have to become our
stereotypes and can countertype that by doing anything they want. and this shows

    A good first attempt at an exam question.

    Reflect and Perfect:
    When reflecting, please use a green font.

    - Highlight the key words in the question (the ones we circled during our lesson)
    - Your answer needs a structure and clarity. Use the PEE structure.
    Point - One of the characters, Jake, is represented as white homosexual
    male police officer
    Evidence - we know this because in the car Jake says “I’m
    gay 22, dad is the superintendent and rookie police officer”
    Explanation (this needs much more focus) - HOW is meaning created for the audience? Why is this sexuality accepted in society?

Assesment Tv

Analyse how sound is used in the extract to create meaning? Sound is used in the extract to create meaning by using the different types and paces of music such as when he first walks up to the church, he hears the sound of children singing which creates meaning for the church being a safe place but as he walks In and cant see anyone the music the gets on to a faster pace we can also hear the sound of the dogs barking and his foot splashing in the water this creates the scene full of suspense. The extract creates a big sense of danger and confusion this is done by the slow editing in the beginning as it moves on the editing starts to get faster as he gets chased we see all over the town people hearing the barking which reinforces the idea of little bazely being a small village the cuts are very fast so the audience does not have time to think about the scene before another point is the              mise-en- scene the man chasing him was wearing clothes dark to create that sense of n
