• Write a conclusion in which you state how far you agree with the social realism attempted in the clip.

In the video they try to make it real by adding sound effects that you would hear in real life like the police sirens they didnt use any other noise when they were chacing someone in the car. They could of used a something funny however there trying to make it serious.

Cuffs

Diegetic- Natural sounds
Non-Diegetic- Sounds that have been added for effect


sounds:
-sound effect
-voice overs
-atmosphere/background
-dialogue
-music


Analyse how sound is used in the extract to create meaning. Refer to at least two examples from the extract on your answer.
Clip from 27:31 to 30:01


The sound effect was a crunched crisp. This draws attention to the audience because you won't be able to hear the crunch while her mouth is closed. The second sound effect is when the tractor went round the corner. The police officers would have heard the tractor way before it came around the corner and would of had a heads up.

Media Regulation

Media producers are always looking for ways to grab our attention and even try to influence how we live our lives.

This makes the media a powerful force in the modern world.

Therefore, regulation is essential to ensure that the media operates within clear guidelines and its ability to change the way we perceive the world, is kept in check.

An organisation can regulate itself internally (the magazine and newspaper industries do this), or an external agency can independently regulate it (the British Board of Film Classification regulates the film industry).

Audiences V Uses and Gratification theory Lesson

The Uses and Gratification model is a theory that states that audiences consume media products because they have to satisfy needs:

Goals of Media

• To be informed or educated.
• To be entertained.
• To develop social interaction with others (interact with other fans).
• To feel connected with the situations and characters emotionally.
• To escape from real life situations.

EXAMPLES OF USES AND GRATIFICATION THEORY

In situations like watching movies and listening to the music of your own choice, this theory is applicable. People choose from their own choices and moods. The needs of the particular person are met through the media used.

Some people might watch news for information, some for entertainment, and some for self-reassurance. Some watch according to their moods. There are various needs which gets fulfilled by the media.

Similarly, internet and mobile phones have become a source of media that tries to fulfil not only the mass communication needs, but also interpersonal needs like interaction and emotional involvement. People can use internet, text, call, talk with photos or with videos. It is portable and accessible. It has come to be useful for many and serve many purposes.
