AS Media TV Drama extract 'Blackpool'

Discuss the ways in which this extract from 'Blackpool' constructs a representation of Gender & Regional identity.

Watch it four times looking at the following technical areas for each viewing
1: Camerawork
2: Editing
3: Sound
4: Mise-en-scene

Do not expect each area to offer a wealth of examples, some areas will give more examples than others.

Aim to write at least a paragraph for each area
(A paragraph = approx seven sentances, one point per paragraph and remember - P.E.E. point, example, explanation.)

The seven deadly sins of camera work!

'Teeth Divamedia short film from Ireland'

See how this simple stroy line works with the cinematography. The use of black & white and the simple soundtrack is enought o accompany the beautiful scenery.

You do not need complicated storylines and multiple characters to make something beautiful!
