Explain how social contexts influence television programmes.

Explain how social contexts influence television programmes. Refer to Cuffs 2010 to support your answer.

Social context influences television programmes, by the producers making the show realistic and so the viewers may be able to relate more to the show. For example in cuffs, there is an innocent brown, Muslim man in the supermarket, all of a sudden he is verbally abused by a gang of racist men, and a short while after stabbed, and died, this is clearly because they believe the bad stereotypes about a brown Muslim man, such as all of them are terrorists. This influences TV programmes by the producers using stereotypes in order to connect with the viewers and show them what it may be like to go out harmlessly as a Muslim, which some Muslims could be able to relate to, for example, The Melee attack, a muslim woman on the bus wearing a headscarf was beaten and called a 'terrorist'.

    This shows some understanding of contexts, although is more focused on offering a good explanation of representation of Muslims in Cuffs.

    To improve, please reference a specific contextual issue (a recent situation where Muslims have been treated in a racist way) and link to Cuffs as soon as possible!

Media language Editing

Editing Speed of editing In a film each scene may last a matter of seconds, or it could continue for a couple of minutes. The speed of editing will help to determine the mood of what is taking place on the screen. For example an action film would be very fast pace and sped up. If film makers want the audience to feel anxiety and suspense, the editing will be quick- the scenes/shots changing frequently. If a relaxed mood is desired,the scenes lasts longer and changes less frequently. For example in a romantic comedy.  Nevertheless a film need not have any editing. Russian ark was filmed in one take using a steadicam and a digital camera.   This required split-second timing and organisation. Scenes at the beginning of a film- as it begins to tell its story- must be long enough for us to be able to understand where we are and what is going on. It is also slow to introduce the main character(s). As the film progress...
