Skint: Analysis
- takes a documentary stance rather to the common dramatised reality tv shows
- goes through a persons daily life to show contrast to the viewers life
- the music fits the people who are shown doesn't play music that would't fit the people e.g hard rock
- in a way the show is emotionally manipulative by showing mostly there hardships to make us feel sorry for their predicaments
Well done for starting this Michael.
ReplyDeleteIn what way is the music 'sympathetic' with those represented though?
It's interesting to think carefully about this and how it might reflect your own assumptions on those represented. What are the program makers trying to convey in their representations?
For a higher mark, you need to try to write deeper, more analytical responses that really explore alternative READINGS of media texts like this. Happy to talk you through this if it doesn't make sense.
the music is sympathetic with the represented people as it deliberately plays music genre that stereotypically fit the people that are shown such as hiphop for bits with more common people and light rock for scenes with an older busker
ReplyDeleteInteresting - what do you mean by 'more common people'?
ReplyDelete...and how might hip-hop music provide a sympathetic representation?
Do you think these representations serve to REINFORCE or CHALLENGE stereotypes?
by "more common people" i mean the lower class people who are shown and hip-hop is stereotypically linked to these kind of people. this documentary reinforce these stereotypes.
