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.
