TV Drama Blog

As part of the OCR AS Media Studies specification you are required to study the way in which representation functions with TV Drama. TV Drama and representation will be the first part of the exam which will consist of watching a TV Drama sequence and answering a question based on a given representational area.

You will not know what the TV Drama is and what representational area will be included prior to the exam.

This blog will be dedicated to the TV Drama section and will contain relevant resources for this unit as well as class activities completed by students.

Representation: Focus on Age



In both clips identify the key micro areas which show the representation of age.

For example:
  • How does the characters dress and what does this suggest?
  • Whats sounds can you hear and what does this add to the representation of age?
  • How would you describe the pace of editing and what might it say about the representation of age?
  • What camera techniques have been used and what does this suggest about the different characters?

MAIN QUESTION

HOW HAS AGE BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE CLIPS. IS THIS A STEREOTYPICAL OR ALTERNATIVE REPRESENTATION? WHY DO YOU THINK THE TV DRAMA HAS CHOOSEN THIS REPRESENTATION?
