In your opinion, how does the extract attempt to represent a sense of "real life"?

In your answer you must:

  • Use more than 3 examples/scenes from the clip.
  • Use media language to analyse the extract.
  • Use social and cultural context in order to link the clip to realism.
  • Write a conclusion in which you state how far you agree with the social realism attempted in the clip.


The extract represents a sense of real life because when doing all the shots in the extract they film different shots of when someone is speaking to get all facial reactions in.This would make others watching get a good understanding on what is going on and how the actor feels towards the situation.

In my opinion the car shots seem to make the extract feel more real life. 
For example, in episode 1 when they was both talking in car it gave us 3 different shots of them talking with then makes me feel more involved.

  1. S: This is a nice start to the answer.
    I: could you please use more media language to describe the type of shots used? Also, it would be very beneficial if you were to be more descriptive with regards to what actually happens in the scene... but doing this you would be able to identify how realism is constructed.
    T: see above and adapt.
    Thanks :)
