Sound videos

Video 1 "Funny Games"
the music which is being played demonstrates peace within the family and that there's no tension between each other. this also shows that theyre posh and well educated as only certain people understand what the music is saying along with it being calming.
 the rock music at the end gives a twist upon the music at the start which could foreshadow violent events which could happen or extreme things which could come up. this is because rock music tends to demonstrates death harm craziness and violence.


 Video 2 "Clockwork Orange"
i wouldnt expect this type of music would be adequate for this scene as classic music is meant to show peaceful behaviour and intelligence which contrasts with the violence of the men as theyre aggressive and violent. on the other hand, the music also causes tension as its high pitched at times which influences the violence as anything can happen and it syncs with behaviour as its a sense of danger.

Video 3:  One Upon A Time In The West
The sounds that I heard during the extract were the rotation of the windmill which in the western days used to spin around which would then allow the water to flow to the bottom where then men and women would collect it in a bucket and use it in a variety of ways. The sound produced is diegetic sound because it is sound produced from the working world.
The sound bridge that is used in this extract is the sound of the wheel which is pushing the water. The sound of the wheel keeps going when the scene is changed.


Video 4: Once Upon A Time In America
The diegetic sound in the scene was the phone ringing as this came within the scene and it is part of what is happening. The non diegetic sound in the scene was the music being played as that is what the producer added when editing the scene o make the reader have a better experience.



 This is a scene from the film "Rocky" where he begins to train in the morning as part of his routine. The music which is used starts off low and slow and gradually builds up getting louder and faster showing his progress and motivation he has. Towards the end he reaches the top of the stairs where the music has a harmony saying strong now which relates to his fitness and his mindset. This song is quite a motivational one and syncs with the footage as its non diegtic sound making us feel as if thats what hes listening to making him achieve his goal to get to the top.

TV: Postmodernism and Deutschland 83

1) Read the section on Strinati's five ways to define postmodernity. What examples are provided of the breakdown of the distinction between culture and society (media-isation)? The characters Bruno and Borat would be more known than the actor who portrays the character. The characters seem more real to the audience than the actors i.e. Sacha Baron Cohen as Borat.  The media reality is more real than the object itself. The example given is advertising. A poor quality product could sell well if it had a good marketing technique but a good quality product can fail with a poor marketing strategy. 2) What is Fredric Jameson's idea of 'historical deafness'? How can the idea of 'historical deafness' be applied to Deutschland 83? As modernisation increases the historical context of the culture is lost. In Deutschland '83 modern music was a draft from the old culture of music in the 60s to 80s. The show uses classic songs from the 80s ...

Capital: Representation question

Plan Kumar Family Rodger's Family Polish builders Old woman's house Traffic Warden  The show Capital is a show about a street that has begun to receive postcards from a mysterious sender, which say 'we want what you have',  the statement of whether Capital is a family drama rather than a crime drama is a very mixed opinion.  A definition of a crime Drama is a TV programme that focuses on a crime that is committed and is being researched to be solved. As for any genre, the crime drama features conventions such as Police tapes, Detectives, Victims and more. While Capital does focus on the crime of the postcards the show is much more focused on the aspects of all these people that live on Pepys Road and the whole aspect f the Postcards are dismissed as a marketing campaign as well as is put in the background of the first episode, while the family lives are focused on. A family drama is a show that is about the aspect of family and their conflicts and ...
