Top October 1963 New universities open and students get state support The Robbins Report on Higher Education (1963) was followed by the state-funded growth of universities.

Q1. Non diegetic music is tense and this creates tension for the audience Diegetic Dialogue like "Hi guys this is Jake ... Ummm kilo..." Shows that Jake is unexperienced connoting something could go wrong in the car chase. Diegetic Ambiant noise when the robbers smash the front of the shop thats Diegetic Ambiants  Q2. Editing: More of its from the police POV view so you have a better bond with them. Camera showed in close up shots because you know them better Criminals are showed in long shots and CCTV footage so it makes you not trust them Sounds: Criminals speak agressive lines of dialogue.

Why was the pre-watershed scheduling of 8pm significant in terms of the representations they could offer? (3 marks) It was significant as it meant that they could use themes such as homosexuality, racism, and sexism. These reasons mean that parents may not want their children watching an episode with these themes. For example, parents might not want their kids to be seeing a same sex relationship, such as the one with Jake Vickers and the enemy lawyer. As wrong as it is doing this, they might do this to deter their kids from being gay. How were the following areas represented in the episode: Ethnicity  Gender Sexuality  (10 marks)           Cuffs was written and distributed in 2015 and therefore provides a snapshot of the cultural, politcal and social issues of the UK population at this point in history.  In this episode, ethnicity is presented in a positive way through the main character, PC Ryan Draper.

How was MEDIA LANGUAGE used to show the social context of the 60s ? In the 60s, men were seen as more powerful than women - this is portrayed in 'The Town of No Return' through camera work. At the start of a scene, the first character we see is a man, and the camera is at a low angle. This gives the man power, as we are looking up at him. Comparing this to when we see the woman, we see a full body shot of her showing off all of her curves and natural beauty.

2) Explain one way in which music videos use media language to differ from each other. I studied If I Were A Boy and Uptown Funk, both these videos use colour and editing in a different way. Uptown funk uses bright costumes such as pink jackets and changed the saturation to go to the up beat song.  In If I Were A Boy everything is in black and it isn't a up beat song, it has a message about gender issues. 4) Analyse the representation of musicians in extract 1. The main cover image is a low angle close up of Ray Davies. The low angle shot shows that musicians are powerful and god like. The fact that the shot is in black and white makes him look dark, rebellious and depressed which fits the genre and his facial expression support this. The colour pallet of black, white, red and yellow shows musicians dark rebellious and depressed (black & White) but also entertaining (Yellow). The dark colour can also represent musicians as masculine because these are stereotypical colo...
