 Hall states that representation is about the multiple meanings representations can generate. Both Stranger Things and Lupin feature historical contexts affecting the characters and events in the long form tv dramas. Stranger Things does this through the representations of the affects of the Cold war and the distrust of the government in the 1980's. On the other hand, Lupin represents the affect of the colonial history of France and what it has left behind. Despite this, there are representations of modern globalisation within the industry. The historical contexts influence the specific representations and narratives of long form tv dramas- In Stranger Things there is an overarching narrative of government distrust. There is an initial shot of Hawkins lab featuring a camera tilting down from space. Furthermore, a later tracking shot shows faceless government agents listening to phone calls. The mise-en-scene of this shot is full of smoke, to keep the period consistent with the 1980...

Question 4 answer

 Evaluate the usefulness of one of the following theories in understanding long form television drama either Hall's theories representation theory or  Guantlett's identity theory Guantlett's identity theory states that identities are created around media consumed by a person and an identity is formed by piecing together different parts of media. In Stranger Things Guantlett's theory is shown through the main character's in the show being the group of boys. This is highlighted through the boys personalities being based around media present in the 1980's. This is also present throughout the show with them naming the Demogorgon after a character in Dungeons and dragons highlighting the influence of media on the boys lives. The boys also base their attempt to find Will in the pilot episode on wanting to be like a comic book hero. This style of 80's media has also influenced audiences as it opened a new generation up to life in the 1980's which re-popularized...

Butler's theory presents gender performance roles in Stranger things through Eleven as she remains gender ambiguous as she presents typical male gender roles as well as female roles without fitting into either. Butler's theory is also present in Lupin through Juliet Pellegrini as she walks down the stairs at the auction as it is filmed to highlight her gender roles drawing attention to her with things like a glamourous outfit.  A brief intro into theory and how it applies to LFTVD A paragraph that l...

Correct and sensible knowledge and understanding of particular areas Discussion of how industry is used to broader audience Media language used to discuss shots that reference other media What is representation? How media presents other mediums, groups and subjects like race or gender Stuart Hall: Meanings behind images by what is there was is not there and what is different. Representations are not fixed and can be argued There is often an attempt to fix a preferred meaning Long form TV dramas often subvert typical codes and conventions of their genre in order to attract wider audiences and to make social/ political comments Steve Neal- genre theory Butler's gender performativity theory states that gender is not fixed and is created in how we perform our gender roles. This is pres...
