tv unit exam questions

• Analyse how camera language is used in the extract to create meaning. Refer to at least two examples from the extract in your answer. 

The extract uses camera language so a dominant representation of the men compared to the women.

when the inspector is questioning the woman they use low angles for the man and high camera angle of the woman to make her appear helpless. This conforms to the stereotype fo women being inferior and the male helping the women. On the other hand the camera angle for the detective is low and over the shoulder exemplifying that the women is listening to the detective and he's in control. The stereotype continues as he's standing and she's sitting i judge that this conforms to the stereotype because men are stereotypically inferior to women. 

• Analyse how far the extract portrays genre conventions. In your answer you must: 
  -      Analyse aspects of the extract using examples to support your analysis 

• Judge how far these aspects portray genre conventions 

 

 The extract portrays genre conventions through the use of mise en scene the police officers are wearing uniform which is universally recognised as police uniform as a result it meets the stereotypically crime drama outfit as in a crime drama there is usually police officers. i judge that though the use of police outfits being easily recognised that the audience will understand that they are there to help.

The extract further portrays genre conventions as the storyline satisfies the needs to be a crime drama through having propps theory of villains, hero's, helper's ECT. Through the needs of a stereotypical crime drama we can see that they used stereotypes through the women pleading for help and her having high camera angles and sitting down. I Judge that they used high camera angles do the women to show that she is looking u and listening to the man to conform to the dominant representation of men being the focus
