4 KEY CONCEPTS Genre - generic features, codes and conventions, iconography, subgenres, hybridity, relationship between the organisation and the audience s needs Narrative - construction, structures, character functions, character functions, settings and locations, Todorov s structure Representations - process of re-presenting, types and stereotypesrecognition and function of, ways people are represented in terms of gender, ethnicity, age, cultural diversity and nation. Audience interests, appeal, uses and gratifications theory Media Organisations - expanding markets, convergence, promotion and branding, competition, schedules and ratings, cross - platform media campaigns, regulation and control, ways of categorising audiences, audience targeting, uses and pleasures, interactivity TERMINOLOGY General terms: Denotation = what can be clearly seen or heard Connotation = a suggested or hinted meaning Signify = to show Deconstruction = this means to take apart a media text to see how it works Organisations = companies or groups responsible for media texts Genre = a category or type of media text Sub-genre = a more specific category within a genre Conventions = features of a genre Subvert the genre = to deliberately ignore genre conventions and do something unusual for that genre Primary consumer = the main target audience for a media text Secondary consumer = other people who may enjoy the media text Representation = how people, places, ideas, organisations are shown Stereotype = a typical or obvious representation
5 Iconography = the way visual images create a message about the genre or context Conventions = an accepted way of recognising and creating a specific genre Mise-en-scene = the details (setting/ props etc) that are put into the scene Camera Shots Extreme long shot: Contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film to establish general location (setting). This is also known as an establishing shot. Long shot: Contains landscape and this shot typically shows the entire object or human figure and is usually intended to place it in some relation to its surroundings. Full Length Shot: Contains the subject/character from top to toe. Setting becomes secondary to the importance of the subject/character Mid shot: Contains the characters or a character from the waist up. From this shot, viewers can see the characters' faces more clearly as well as their interaction with other characters. This is also known as a social shot Close-up: Contains just one character's face. This enables viewers to understand the actor's emotions and also allows them to feel empathy for the character. This is also known as a personal shot.
6 Extreme close-up: Contains one part of a character's face or other object. This technique is quite common in horror films, particularly the example above. This type of shot creates an intense mood and provides interaction between the audience and the viewer. Camera Angles Bird's eye angle: An angle that looks directly down upon a scene. This angle is often used as an establishing angle, along with an extreme long shot, to establish setting. High angle: A camera angle that looks down upon a subject. A character shot with a high angle will look vulnerable or small. These angles are often used to demonstrate to the audience a perspective of a particular character. Eye-level angle: Puts the audience on an equal footing with the character/s. This is the most commonly used angle in most films as it allows the viewers to feel comfortable with the characters. Low angle: Camera angle that looks up at a character. This is the opposite of a high angle and makes a character look more powerful. This can make the audience feel vulnerable and small by looking up at the character. This can help the responder feel empathy if they are viewing the frame from another character's point of view.
7 Editing terms Cutting Cutting is when one shot suddenly changes to another shot. Cuts are made very regularly; for example, television shows consist of cuts which occur approximately every seven to eight seconds. Cuts aren t always left as a sudden change from one shot to another, sometimes these cuts are transitioned as a fade, wipe or a dissolve. There is always a reason for cutting a shot, this could include: To change the scene and setting To compress the time To vary the point of view To build or create and image or an idea Shot/Reverse shot A shot and reverse shot is where several shots are edited together and alternate characters. This is very typically used in a conversation situation. Jump Cut A jump cut is when a single shot has an interruption. The interruption is either the background changes instantly while the figure in the shot remains the same, or that the figure changes instantly while the background remains the same. Parallel Editing This is an editing technique where two or more shots, set in different places, alternate, these are usually simultaneous, and the actions are linked in some way. Dissolve Dissolving is a transition used in between two shots so that the shots don t suddenly change. Dissolve is the transition in which one shot fades out while another shot fades in, meaning at one moment in this transition the shots are blended together.
8 Fade in/fade out Fading into a shot is when the screen appears just a blank, black screen to begin with, and then the shot begins to fade in. This usually occurs at the beginning of a scene to indicate a softer, quieter introduction. Fading out of a shot is when the shot is shown on the screen and then slowly fades out into a blank, black screen. Superimposition This is where two shots are blended into one, and unlike dissolve, this is not a transition between two different shots. Slow Motion When the action on the screen has been edited to move at a slower rate than the original action did. This can be used to do the following: Make a faster action more visible to the audience To emphasize a moment or a reaction To create an unusual and strange feeling about a familiar, ordinary action To emphasize violence AUDIENCE BASIC TERMS Audience the people who watch the programme Target Audience the people who the show is actually AIMED at The target audience for TV dramas will vary from show to show. This might depend on the time it is shown, the channel it is shown on, the actors that star in it, the topics it covers, the characters in it, the style it is shot in, the country it was made it etc Socioeconomic Profile the description of the audience s education, job and income.
9 Psychographic Audience Profile a description of the audience s lifestyle, attitudes and activities. For example, the audience psychographic profile of a show may include people who enjoy fast paced dramatic moments, action and thrills. Demographic Audience Profile a description of the audience s factual information such as their age, gender, class, marital status etc. MASLOW S HIERARCHY OF NEEDS - Need to survive - Need to feel safe - Need for friendship / belonging - Need to nurture / care for something - Need to achieve - Need for attention - Need for status - Need to find meaning in life How this applies to TV Drama: Different kinds of audiences will see various aspects of Maslow s needs being met (or at least stimulated) by different dramas. Some people may crave glamorous shows like Hollyoaks (need for status? Need for belonging?) and some may like the emotional realism of soaps (need to find meaning in life? Need to care for something?). There is no hard and fast way to apply Maslow s needs to TV dramas, but it would be a good idea to mention them when discussing audience. YOUNG AND RUBICAM S AUDIENCE DIVISIONS As the concept of class became less fashionable and it became more difficult to gauge who earned what in dual income households, advertisers began looking for new ways to categorise audiences and their profiles. One of the best known ways was devised by the international advertising agency Young and Rubicam, who began to look at the profile of audiences and how they consume products. Once the audience profile was established, the advertising campaign could be pitched accordingly. How this applies to TV Drama: Is it possible to use these divisions, used primarily for targeting audience types in advertising to decide who might watch particular types of TV Drama? In truth it might be possible to link any of these audience types to a certain drama, and this would be fine if you are asked to do so in your exam - just remember that you need to justify your choice.
10 1) The Explorer - These are people driven by a need for new discovery, challenge and new frontiers. Their core need is 'discovery'. 2) The Aspirer - Materialistic, acquisitive people who are driven by other's perceptions of them rather than by their own values. Their core need is 'status' 3) The Succeeder - They possess self-confidence, have strong goal orientation and tend to be very organised. Their core need is 'Control'. 4) The Reformer - Reformers are anti-materialistic and are often seen as intellectual. They seek 'Enlightenment'. 5) The Mainstream - These are people who live in the world of domestic and the everyday. They seek 'security'. 6) The Struggler - Strugglers live for today and rarely plan for tomorrow. They seek 'Escape'. 7) The Resigned - These are people with unchanging views over time. They seek to 'Survive'. REASON AUDIENCES LIKE TV DRAMA Solving enigma codes Audiences watch for how equilibrium is restored to the narrative. This is especially true for compartmentalized dramas like Dr Who, but remember that soaps have many on-going overlapping narratives. More entertaining than real life especially with regard to science fiction and fantasy stories. We get to see things happen to people which are very much out of the ordinary. Thrilling action sequences - again, this is less the case for soaps or other dramas very much based on real life situations. These dramas are striving for realism. Special effects does the drama use CGI (computer generated imagery) to create scenes or other imagery on screen. CGI used to be used only in expensive American dramas, but we are seeing British drama using it more and more. Dr Who and Merlin are two good examples of dramas which use CGI. Other dramas which strive for realism may occasionally use special effects to replicate a real life disaster (see plane crashes, car chases and fires for example) but this is done sparingly to keep the realistic tone of the programme. Allows us to see things we wouldn t normally see By nature we are all curious people, and the chance to see inside other people s lives (realistic) and also incredible situations we will never be able to experience ourselves (sci-fi, fantasy, period).
11 Dramas allow us to live vicariously Audiences watch the shows and are able to experience emotions and feelings like fear, sadness or danger which they wouldn t normally be able to or want to experience in real life. It allows audiences experience all these things from the comfort and safety of their own sofas. We like resolutions to our stories Real life doesn t always fit neatly into Todorov s narrative structure, and by our nature we like to see problem s resolved or equilibriums restored. Sometimes we do not get the happy ending we might be hoping for, especially in Dramas which strive for realism, but this is usually balanced out by several narrative threads. If something bad is happening to one character in a soap, another character is usually enjoying a positive narrative in a different story thread. Identity Often audiences enjoy being able to put themselves into the shoes of the main characters and imagine what would I do in that situation. Information We can learn a lot from dramas. We can learn about relationships, or difficult situations which we ourselves might never have faced. In period dramas we might learn some basic historical information think about Downton Abbey for example, where the etiquette and routine of different classes forms the basis of the narrative there. Relationships / Social Interaction Often we feel like we have personal relationships with the main characters as they re-appear every week, and we get to know them. We find out about their personal lives, their relationships, their weaknesses. We start to care about them and if our friends enjoy the same shows we can discuss the show with them and feel like part of a community of fans. Realistic dramas can also be used to raise awareness of real-life issues, and often the programme will display contact information or a helpline for viewers affected by such issues to explore them further. TV Drama vs Web based Drama Web based dramas: - focus more on creativity - they cost less to create. - On the whole they have lower production values - address the changing viewing styles of the audience (ipod/ipad etc)
