Representation codes & conventions-
List the seven core Representation topics. Give examples of how the 4 TECHNICAL ELEMENTS (not storyline / plot!) communicate these social groups / issues in a meaningful way. The easiest way to do this is:
- Choose a Representation topic
- Find a screenshot / clip of a TV drama that best exemplifies what you're discussing (embed it into the blog entry)
- Observe the effects of the combined technical elements being used
- Reflect on the message that these effects ultimately send to the wider viewing public
- Rinse and repeat
Remember - the conventions can either support or subvert generally accepted interpretations of a given area of representation. Think about how shows you have watched (in your own time or, for example, Vertigo) have conformed to some representation codes and undermined / swapped others. What were the messages available for viewer decoding?
Any questions, ask away!
- T. Bianca
