Introduction to TV drama

1) It has a wide array of characters, a unique setting, and a dramatic narrative.

2) The genre of the show could be a dystopian future. I think this because in the trailer, it's heavily implied that time travel is a big part of the show, and that there are more universes than we think. They also show a lot of sinister and evil looking characters, who are after the protagonist(s).

3) For the character side of things, a lot of characters are shown to us here, some good, some bad. From this we can assume the bad characters are our antagonists, and the good guys are either protagonists or supporting characters. The narrative of the show is quite dark and, again, could be a dystopian society.

4) Multiple settings are shown to us in the trailer, mostly quite modern or quite old ones. They are all quite diverse and are all equally unique in their own ways. Following the theme of the TV show itself, most of them are quite dark and gloomy.

5) The target audience could be late teens to early adults. This is because of the dark themes that are heavily implied in the show, along with all the violence and graphic scenes that could scare young children.

Camera shot 1: Medium Shot This camera shot is used frequently, and it's a shot of a character from head to torso.

1) WWW: Dyari - a strong response for Q7 on Black Widow. You know the CSPs well in this paper. EBI: Not enough media theory/terminology to develop/extend responses. 2a) Typography - Upper case and bold, sans serif font used; connotations of importance and power 2b) Non-verbal codes - lighting signifies brand identity with logo being displayed as lights 2c) Photographic codes - Long shot signifies/shows power of the rugby player and his determination 3) Propp's character theory - Audrey Hepburn is the "heroine", the chauffeur is the "hero", the bus driver is the "donor" and the fruit cart is the "villain".

Music video: Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor

Audience 1) The target demographic for Arctic Monkeys' music are late teens - early adults who are most likely in the middle class; most of them would also happen to be from western countries. The psychographic group for their music is most likely the Struggler, or any other group that fits an average everyday person. 2) Diversion/distraction from the things around them, as the song is fast-paced and upbeat, and would likely catch their attention and keep them focused on the song. 3) 4) Fans shared their music on P2P websites, allowing a lot more people to hear their music globally. Because a lot more people had listened to their music, this meant that they were a lot more popular than they'd initially thought. 5) They would most likely respond with excitement and/or happiness. Arctic Monkeys wants their fans to enjoy the music video; they most likely aren't in it for the fame/popularity, as before they start the song, the lead singer says "don't believe the hyp...
