  1. Sound in more detail: • Sound scape: All the sounds in a text. • Score: Music composed and arranged specifically for production. • Diagetic: Sounds the characters can hear (made from inside the text). • Non-diagetic: Sounds which the viewers can hear but not the characters. (Don’t assume that all music is non-diagetic) • Ambient sound: Background diegetic sound. This does not have to be in the field of vision. • Syncronous sound: The sound is synchronised with the object making the sound, ie. an alarm clock. • Asyncronous sound: Where the sound is out of sync and out of time with what we see, ie. If a character dies but we hear their phone going off from inside their pocket. We cannot see this. • Volume control: • Dialogue: What the characters/voiceovers say (think about tone, accent, volume and language) • Mode of address: How the narrative comes across to the audience- accent/ tone etc. • Direct address: When the character/voiceover speaks directly to the audience. This breaks the verisimilitude (like the fourth wall). • Sound Bridge: Where sound continues across shots. Although the shot is broken, the sound is not. • Sound perspective: This helps us place where the sound is coming from in terms of proximity in the scene. • Incidental music: Non-diagetic music or sounds which accompany changes in events or scenes. • Sound motif: Sounds associated with a character or place, ie. A bell in a school.

  6. Ethnicity • Discuss these questions with your partner: • What’s the difference between ethnicity and nationality? • Ethnicity is a distinctiveness based on a number of factors – it is complicated and often a matter of debate but is related to “cultural heritage” • What contributes to a persons ethnicity? • Family origins – where your family are from. • Cultural upbringing – customs, religion, language, food? • Personal perception – how someone views themselves. • Ethnicity is a complex issue – it involves more than just place of birth or colour of skin

  7. What are the main ethnic groups within London? • Ethnicity used to be broken down into three categories- white, black and other! • Today ethnicity is sub-divided into several groups. London in particular is incredibly multicultural with over 150 different languages spoken. • Media representations: 2 minutes - make a list of all the media personalities (actors, presenters, musicians, journalists etc ) you can name from the following ethnicities: • Chinese • Eastern European • Pakistani • African • Latin American • Discuss: In mainstream UK TV drama which ethnic groups are under represented? Why?

  11. Bend it Like Beckham - Analysis • Focus on the representation of Jess, what is her demographic? Culturally how does her character relate to stereotypes of Sikh women? • How much could she be said to British and how much would you describe her Pakistani? • What effect might her representation have on: • Sikh viewers • Non Sikh viewers • What about the representation of her family? How does they differ to Jess? • How are the White British characters represented? Remember that your comments should be linked to miseen scene, editing, camera angles/shots and lighting.
