cuffs lesson 4

Tuesday 5th February 2019 

ofcom is a website that deals with complaints, an example of something that they have dealt with in the past is when the BBC was fined 400,000 pounds because they faked competition winners.this was the largest fine ever given to the BBC and shocked thousand of viewers.

In the cuffs episode there is a lack of swearing although this may not be realistic it broadens the amount of viewers and the age restriction on the series.The lack of swearing adds a lack of realism to the episode for example when the police officer is punched in the face he doesn't say anything where as in reality he most likely would have sworn.   

CREATE A NEW BLOG POST AND TITLE IT: MEDIA REGULATION

Copy and paste the Learning Objectives onto your new blog.

Copy the following questions below and answer them individually.

• WHAT DO WE MEAN BY REGULATION? Regulation is an abstract concept of management of complex systems according to a set of rules and trends. In systems theory, these types of rules exist in various fields of biology and society, but the term has slightly different meanings according to context
• WHY DO WE NEED TO REGULATE THE MEDIA?There is a contradiction intrinsic to the notion of regulating what are supposed to be the free means of expression and information in a modern society. Regulation by its very nature sets limits to freedom, which is the most basic principle of democratic societies. At the very least, this means that there have to be clear and convincing reasons for regulation, and although we can give general justifications for regulation that help to reconcile it with principles of freedom and democracy, we cannot escape from this underlying tension.

• WHAT TYPES OF MEDIA DO YOU THINK NEEDS REGULATION THE MOST? WHY?i think that think that involve death or sensitive subjects should defenatly have regulations because that way people can control what happens and the way people preseive it

mise-on-scene

• setting, indoor,outdoor ,weather
• lighting, high key (bright) , low key (dark)
• props, meeting theme 
• costume 
• hair and makeup
• performance 

analyse how mise-on-scene is used in the extract to create meaning 

• stupid wig shows immaturity
• clean hat show that he cares about his job and he wants to do it well
• graffiti on the sign shows there is little respect for the consequences and the police in the area 
• contrast from a formal room where the police are being presented as responsible to the nudest beach where there is immaturity lack and of respect.

mise-on-scene was used in the video when the camera moves into a blurry shot which then changes to a clear shot .This reveals the graffiti on the sign by showing the audience the sign it presents that something is about to happen .it also presents that there is littler respect for the police in the area.during this the camera is going back and forth from a conference meeting where a man that looks like he has a high rank talk about how the police are respected and responsible. this contrasts from the beach where a group of men behave badly and show up the police. 

The stupid wig that the group of men are wearing shows lack of respect and lack of care for the consequences given by the police. It also makes the viewer feel the police are not good enough at there jobs and that they allow things to get out of control.

when the police officer come back after running after the men he picks his hat up and it shows how shinning the hat is the presents to the watchers that he cares for his job and he wants to do well it also shows that he is very uptight and wants his job to be more serious then it is.

SOUND

sound effects
dialouge
non diegetic


QUETION 1 

analyse how sound is used in the exract to create meaning. refer to at least two examples from the extract in your answer.clip from 27:31 to 30:01

when in the cafe you can here people talking and eating when in actual fact there is only one visiable person in theback ground of the cafe. the editer has added this effect to make it seem more relistic and life like as they eat and ingage in normal conversation.the calm talking and music is used to show the relaxed setting and pthat its unexpected when a bad thing happes

in another scene the robbers had just stolen the cash register and the police cars begin to chase the vechial whilst doing so quick and exciting music begins to play showing adrenilin and that it is  intense this leaves the veiwer on edge of there seat and hoping for a good ending

over all sound effects are used to add a realistic touch to the scenes and to make the scene fit the suroundings.
