Morse Code
Camera
Radio
Television
Computer
Windows
Technological advancements have slowly killed the newspaper industry, beginning with the invention of morse code, which led to the radio, which led to television. All of these contributed to how news began to be spread over large distances without needing to be printed, which was much more convenient for consumers. Thus, when the internet was invented, newspapers needed to create online versions of their articles in order to keep their audience.

Mock DIRT 2
3. in this question you will be rewarded for drawing together elements from your full course of study, including different areas of the theatrical framework and media contexts.
How far does the extract try to create a sense it is portraying 'real life'?
In your answer you must:
x analyse aspects of the extract giving detailed examples
x judge how far these aspects create a sense of watching 'real'
Some relevant points but you need to:
- use more camera, sound and editing terminology
- use more examples from the text
& discuss how miss-en-scene e.g.
- setting (police station/hospital/beach/flat)
- costumes (uniform)
- props (police cars/weapons/radios)
add realism.
This extract creates a sense that it is portraying real life through how it handles serious topics and situations and how it creates a setting and scenarios that mimic real life through the use of miss-en-scene.
The extract shows understanding of how the police force works in real life, as all of the officers shown understand police protocols, such as when to use the sirens, depicted through diegetic sound, and how to protect civilians. There is also the professional use of the military alphabet, evidenced through the diegetic dialogue where Ryan says "Kilo 220", which is a practise actual police forces use in real life.
The set design also accurately portrays real life, as it mimics how the offices and desks would be organised, down to the individual details like pencils on desks and the boards full of mug shots of suspects. There are other settings that have been accurately recreated, such as a hospital and a beach, which all contribute to creating a believable realistic fictional world.

News
What is the purpose of news?
- Inform
- Educate
- Entertain
- Profit
- Influence/persuade
FACTS:
- Newspaper are NOT PSB (like the BBC) they are commercial publications. Over three quarters (77.8%) of the British press is owned by a handful of billionaires. Over a quarter (27.3%) of the press is owned by Lord Rothermere and 24.9% by Rupert Murdoch - between them these two men have over 50% of the printed press.
- Newspapers and their online publications (examples of synergy/convergence) are not legally obligated to provide an unbiased public information service. There are ethical and moral codes of press conduct but the printed press is self regulatory industry.
Fake news is false information and propaganda from political figures but can also be the manipulation of images and videos out of context.

Mock Dirt
1. Analyse how sound is used in the extract to create meaning. Refer to at least two examples from the extract in your answer.
Good points but you need to:
- use more sound terminology
- use more detailed examples from the extract
Sound creates meaning the extract by juxtaposing two very different scenarios to show that working as a police officer is like a rollercoaster. There is diegetic ambient laughter and dialogue during the lunch break, which shows the more fun and relaxed side of the job. There is then tense, non-diegetic music with diegetic sirens, which creates meaning by connoting to a tense and serious atmosphere and a sense of urgency which in turn foreshadows a high-paced, action-packed chase scene.
2. Analyse how far the extract depicts the police's point of view rather than the criminals' point of view. In your answer you must:
x analyse aspects of the extract using examples to support your analysis
x judge how far these aspects depict the police's point of view.
Good points but you need to use more camera, sound + editing terminology to get into higher levels.
ALSO: Discuss the following aspects of mine-en-scene:
- costumes
- settings
ORIGINAL ANSWER:
Police are humanised much more than any of the criminals in the extract, particularly through the use of sound and mise en scene.
The officers are humanised through the use of sound and mise en scene, especially during the scene where they're all on their lunch break. During this scene, Ryan, Jake, Lino and Donna are all shown to be laughing and joking about Jake's first day on the force. By showing them having fun, they are depicted in a positive light, which makes them more appealing to the audience.
The criminals, however, are shown much more negatively than the officers and are actually demonised. The second they come on screen, the non-diegetic music becomes much more tense and harsher, and their clothing is very dark and suspicious, which immediately puts them in a bad light.
