Sounds Techniques I would write about... :)

In the exam, for the sound section I would probably might talk about the use of the soundtrack and how it might run throughout the scene with the woman but only in part of the scene with the men in, I would say how this might represent gender as suggesting that men's work is mighty serious and therefore music won't might be played til it's finished, however the woman's work is the opposite and is more fun so music plays to reflect this. I would also might talk about the disc slip sound thing (i can't remember what it is called mind you) but it puts emphasis on how her 'womanly charms' have worked despite the shop assistant might being gay and how the music was used to run under the scheme taking place and then cutting when she has got him hooked and now on to the 'hustling'.

The two sound element i would write about are...

Ok so i would write about Direct address and sound perspective. Sound perspective is sound to show a person perspective or to show something from a persons perspective, it is used to show what a characters personality is like and how they are involved with the storyline. Direct address is when a character addresses the audience directly, e.g. winking at the camera. this is used to get the audience more involved in the drama and is also known as breaching the 4th wall

THIS IS NICK ANDERSONS ANSWER!!!!!
I would write about the use of direct address when the woman talks directly to the camera. I think this is the strongest point to talk about as it suggests she knows something that the man doesn't.
Also, I would write about the music used when the woman comes into shot and when she is running around frantically because it represents her as unorganised and flustered.

The techniques I would write about...By Dave ;)

I would choose to write about both score, and direct address. I would choose these two because firstly, direct address, is easy to spot, and it can tell you a lot about the power of the character, and the gender connotations. I would choose score because you can also gain a lot of information surrounding power from it.

Sound Techniques

In the exam, I would look at the technique of direct address, which is where the character looks directly at the camera and addresses the audience. In the extract we looked at, this is when the woman in the shop looks at the camera and says "I am sure I can". This suggests she is a part of a "master plan", that the man is oblivious to, yet the audience knows all about the plan.

What would I write about?

If I was asked a question about sound techniques I would write about a direct address (if there was one) because it would be easy to spot and you could interpret alot from it :)
I would also write about a score. I would do this because you can look at it from many different angles and I would be able to show off my skills :D

The techniques I would write about...

I would choose the sound techniques of Score and Direct Address because I feel like they were the strongest ones to talk about and I can understand the sound technique of score. Also Direct address is quite unusual for Tv Dramas, therefore it would be a good opportunity to write about it.
