teachers

- three-shot of the male teachers all crossing their arms and doing the same actions in reaction to what susan and jenny say. makes them look like three little boys and make them look uncomfortable.
- birds eye shot of simon as he comes into the house and calls up to his dad. as his dad is upstairs, it is showing simon from his point of view.
- when simon cyles to school, he cyles like one of the students. this is representing young male teachers - they like to fit in with the students and make sure they like them, instead of concentrating on being a good teacher.
- when the women are getting interviewed, the interviews wouldn't react to anything they said. they would just listen and write. this represents the institution of the school and how serious they are taking the interview.

Audience + Editing in 'Teachers'

Aimed at late teens and young adults - uses an older sense of humor, lots of sexual references.
Teachers of a secondary school may be able to relate and identify with the characters and compare them to themselves and other teachers they know.
The audience can easily judge the characters in this extract as they each have their individual personalities and are strongly presented in a specific way. This makes the audience like and dislike characters.
It can be aimed at males and females, as the programmes characters are a mix of both genders.
People that have a job simular to teaching, could also maybe relate to this.

Editing from his head and her feet to her head and his feet as they are in bed talking.
Seeing Simon in a daydream with school boys with a dohnut in his hands, then flicks back to what is actually happening and the jam drops down on his shoe.
See all the cars on the road, expecting simon to be in a car. He is on a bike.
Seeing the teacher and student through the blinds looking forward - no eye contact whilst they are talking. Shows that Simon is embarrased to have smoked drugs with a student.
Seeing the three teachers looking through the door window at jenny, looks like three little boys.
Sound of a shot gun when jenny looked at Simon.

men and women in 'bodies'

After watching this clip in 'bodies' I can see that men and women are representated in very different ways.
At the begginning on the clip, you can only see women, you only see one man who so happens to be black.  These people are the ones carrying around the patiants and checking the notes in the office. These are stereotyped to be womens jobs, and seeing as there is a black man too, this suggest black people are maybe lower down in the employment line in the UK. When we do see the first male doctor, he is extremply stereotyped to have a 'masculine' view on things. For example, he saw a women patiant and said 'you don't half see some freaky fannys'. This gives us the impression that men may care about that more than the actual pataint.

representation in media

Representation in the media is what is intentionally put into a media sequence. For example, every sound or camera angle is there for a reason, to have a certain effect on the audience.

Gender can be very stereotyped in the media. Many objects are represented to be masculine and feminine, not just humans. Media gives us many ideas about what it’s like to be male or female, it also gives us views of males and females around today, and it may only show us a certain type of people. This may not be right, as it does not give us a proper idea of what all males and females may be like.

Feminism usually links to beauty, size, emotions, relationships and sexuality. In drama, they are most often represented as the helper, rather than the active character. Whereas masculinity usually links to strength, power, sexual attractiveness and independence. This is all stereo typing, all women and men are not like this is real life.

Analysing 10 minute inbetweeners clip

The programme starts off with an establishing shot, which is a long shot of a car in front of a house. This lets us know where the first scene will be taking place and it tells us whose house it is, as it is Simon's car parked in front of it. The next shot shows inside the house in a bedroom, it is a long shot of two people kissing on a bed. This tells us who this scene will be about. There is an over the shoulder shot from Simon’s point of view as he stands up when his dad enters. This shows what his dad expression is like as he enters the room and sees Simon and his girlfriend kissing.  After this, there are medium shots of Simon then his girlfriend, flicking back and forth depending on who’s talking. This shows us how the conversation is flowing, and gives us a hint of how the characters are feeling as this conversation is happening. There is a reaction shot of Simon as his girlfriend asks him a question. It shows him looking surprised and slightly nervous, this gives us his emotions.

Once this scene is over, there is a flash cut to the school. This made the duration of the shots very brief. The shot of the school is an extreme long shot, showing that’s where the next scene will be. In the school, there are over the shoulder shots of Jay and Neil as they are having a conversation. This again shows us how they're feeling and how the conversation is flowing. Shortly after there is a reaction shot of Simon when Jay tells him worrying news, he again looks very nervous. This is telling us that Simon has a lot of pressure put on him by his friends. As the characters are getting up and walking out of the common room and across the school, there is an eye-level shot so you can see all their faces.

It then shows an extreme long shot of the motor way as the characters are in the car, this again shows us where the next scene will be. As the characters are driving along the motor way, there is a medium shot through the front windscreen on the car so you can see all the characters faces and shoulders as they are talking. This lets us know how every character is reacting to what everyone else is saying.

After the scene in the car, there is an extreme long shot of their car parking outside the house, hinting this is where the next lot of action will take place. It is also hinting that this is where they were driving too. Lastly as the characters are outside the house talking to the person who has just come and greeted them at the door, there are close up’s of characters faces. This shows what the new character is feeling towards them, and how the other characters are acting around her.

Analysis of local radio broadcast

There are various points I can make after listening to Heart FM.

When I first turned the radio on it played music such as 'Outkast' and 'Justin Timberlake'. Even though they were songs that were a few years old the songs are aimed at a younger audience. After that, 'Norah Jones' 'Will Young' and 'Room 5' were played, and those songs are aimed at a slightly older audience, maybe people in their thirties and fourties.

A number of adds were then played, vodafone and Maroon 5 album were advertised, this is aimed at people of many ages. It then advertises domestic appliances, AFG kitchens, wedding showcase, contractors and Saab (cars). This is aimed at an older audience for people that have quite a lot of money.

The radio then plays more music aimed at a younger audience such as Beyonce and Christina Aguilera.

The show then changes and plays music and advertisements all aimed at older people. The adds that were played are Oxford nursery, computing, and Whitney shopping. This is predominantly aimed at women. Music was then played by Phil Collins, All 4 One and Abba.

To conclude, I would say Heart radio is aimed at the twenties/fourties age bracket, mostly female, middle income households.

News broadcast Heart FM 3pm.

The news cast lasted approximately 3 minutes. The first headline was 'a man stabbed in Oxford last Thursday, 27 year old charged.' This will catch the audience's attention and get them interested in listening to the news. It also informs the audience what has been happening in their area. This headline will be more aimed at an older audience.

The second headline was 'Region's water supplier Thames Water to raise rates'. This will also be aimed at the older audience as it will most likely them that will be affected by this, not younger people.

'Kate Moss attends St Paul's tribute to Alexander Mc Queen' and 'Myleen Klass announces on Twitter she is expected her second child'. These headlines aren't as important as the other ones, but it is celebrity gossip to get the younger audience interested too.

To end the news headlines it tells you the weather.
