          Media Christmas homework



Task 1) The Avengers and cuffs are different in many ways one of them is their audiences the audience of avengers lived in a different time to the audience of cuffs in the accepting 2010s whereas The avengers audience would have been very much against homosexuals and blacks as that was the normal belief in society in the 1960s.   





Task 2) This view of homosexuality differs to society in the 2010s as gay marriage was legalised In 2013this is reflected in cuffs as Jake the main character of cuffs is gay and this can be said without any warning or worry of losing viewers and when he tells Ryan who is his partner and also the main character of cuffs and he has no reaction towards that statement which shows that it is socially accepted to be gay. Where as in the 1960s it was illegal to be openly gay and if you were u could be prosecuted and it was looked down upon in society an seen as a mental illness and if any television program included anything that could be perceived as homosexual they would have to warn the audience before the show aired in fear of losing viewers



Task 3) feminism is represented in avengers and cuffs through two characters in Avengers Emma peele who is the main detective alongside her partner she is the sign of empowering women with freedom of choice in the 60s and in Cuffs jo moffat who is a woman very high up in the police force representing the Morden idea of woman high up in society with power and freedom just the same as her male counterparts in the British police Force and with almost half of the police in cuffs are women .



Task 4)  Avengers and cuffs are different in many ways one way is there lack or use of multiculturalism.

 Avengers has a vary big lack of multicultrlism as the only characters in the program are white and a majority of males all represented as the leaders of their group. Where as in Cuffs the majority of the characters came from different ethnicities such as Ryan the lead character who is a African American male and there are police officers with an Hijab on and the boy who gets stabbed is from Asian decent

    Q1) Please summarise from pages 3-7.

    Q2) 6/10
    This is good, but you need to focus on your structure. You haven't provided a specific example from 'The Avengers'. You need to explain that the main leads are heterosexual and that this conforms to the dominant representation because audiences would have accepted this representation. How do we know they are heterosexual? Think about Steed's chivalrous behaviour.

    Q3) 5/15
    Again, your structure is all over the place. Take each text at a time. What is Peel wearing? How does this link to feminism? Then discuss 'Cuffs', is Jo represented positively? Why?

    Q4) 5/10
    With regards to 'The Avengers', you have discussed the representation which is good! Where is your evidence?
    You need to do the same for 'Cuffs'. STRUCTURE! What is your point? What is your evidence? What is your explanation? Do the different ethnicities in 'Cuffs' challenge stereotypes? Are they positive representations?

    Make sure you use quotation marks and capital letters when writing out the texts.

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

SCH contexts Cuffs

Media contexts can influence television programs such as cuffs with events such as gay marriage being legalised in the 2010s affected Jake being openly gay and having no issues this has become a popular idea in society but also in 2010s culture was also influenced by the rise in hate crimes this context may influence media products because it is something that people are going to watch because it is relevant to today this can be reflected in the way Jake is portrayed in cuffs has changed massively as in the 60s it was considered that you were ill if you were homosexual and would be hidden from he public view especially through media products .
