The language used is also quite informal as it's a popular newspaper which is target towards majority of working class.

theory revision
Levi-strauss- Structuralism
Semiotics- visual signifiers (mise en scene) ..Symbolic signifiers provide meaning ..e.g Logos
- French Anthropologist who emphasised ideological structure in society through Human activity. Often produced through oppositions.
- How binary oppositions are resolved leads to an ideological significance
- -In stranger things there are clear binaries between good and bad as we see the kids fighting against the authority in order to protect 11.
- -In D83 we see the clear division between East Germany and West German as one is more liberal than the other
Van Zoonen- Feminist Theory
- Part time professor of Pop Culture in Rotterdam University as well as a part time professor in media and communication in Loughborough University.. specialising in Gender in New media, politics and pop culture
- Gender is constructed through debates, therefore it's often based on the cultural and historical context.
- Objectifying women's bodies through media
- There's a clear difference between how men are presented in the media compared to women
- -In stranger things the stereotypes of women are subverted when presenting the lead role of 11 to be a power girl with control and force. However conforming to the stereotype when presenting her in a innocent way when she's in danger and needs rescuing
- -In Deautland83 the roles are again subverted when presenting Martin as powerless against his aunt who's portrayed very dominantly. However conforming when objectifying the German daughter encouraging her to perform in front of everyone
Shirky- End of Audience
An American writer who talks about the usefulness of Modern technology, software creation and peer-to-peer engagement which allows the audience to not be the tradition passive audience who take in information and conform to it.
But deny it and create their own meanings. An example of this would be social media trends
-Stranger Things '#JusticeForBarb' who the audience had empathised with due to how she'd been the forgotten faithful friend who eventually died.

LFTVP
Representations are constructed by the producers
Representations of stereotypical characters and themes, family types, women, values
more characters
High production values..bigger actors, directors, stylists etc
continuing narratives
Summarise how stranger things and duetland fit into this lftv
How does the audience consume it?
In what context do they consumer it? social, cultural and political..national countries are different
similarities between germany and the US...same ideological values (both capitalist societies)
technological developments..increased technological advancements and high broadband screens we're able to stream quicker..netflix, amazon, iplayer
economic context- globalisation of culture is allowing the world to merge together (pic n mix identities) also economically good for the nation due to making more money
-Bird box- 50 million views worldwide
Target audience- ABC1 -wealthy consumers that can afford different subscriptions
social context- attitudes towards to gender, ethnicity, inequality, sexuality
we all have different attitudes (e.g some countries maybe more sensitive to other topics such as censoring porn)
-German daughter going against her father..challenging stereotypes
-stranger things and different family types ..challenging
Historical context-coldward, communism and capitalism..suspicious authority in both dramas
political context= is it relevant to todays politics- YES fright of nuclear bombs across the world..US AND Germany relationship now
Conclusion
RADIO created by
BBC and commercial
Explain why popular music radio programmes fail to be recognised by Public service broadcastind. refer to the BBC one radio 1 Breakfast show
PBS- INFORM AND EDUCATIE (BBC) through programming of a diverse audience
The government control what is aired
Explain political context- whether entertain should only educate ?
main arguments..BBC is a pbs targetting a young demographic and reinforcing british values through british music internationally
and targets young people (15-29 year olds) through entertaining segments like the controversial upskirting, hot topics etc
SECONDARY ARGUMENT- "bbc should be privatised due to the commercial competition in order to reach a wider demographic"
Political context- due to the funding by government is there a bias??
some politicians think it should be privatized as it lacks competition
Cultural- help shape young british identity through advices etc
Representations of stereotypical characters and themes, family types, women, values
