MEDIA: Kuleshov Experiment

  • Kuleshov and Eisenstein experimented with cut up footage and how, depending on the sequence, it would get different responses from the audience - demonstrating that context is all important. 
  • This technique has been used by political film makers for propaganda purposes. 
  • This technique established the role cutaways have on creating meanings and representations. 
In this task: the clip that I duplicated for each scenario was of one of my fellow classmates laughing. The 3 different scenarios I used to change the meaning and representation of the laughing clip were: tripping over, crying because of the passing of a pet fish and taking selfies.

There is a regulator for TV and radio (Ofcom), newspapers and magazines (Ipso), for schools (Ofsted).  Sometimes regulators deal with/ investigate complaints from the public. Sometimes they can issue fines, bans or warnings.  I will ensure that I comply to the ASA codes and regulations because I will be direct about what I am trying to sell to the consumer without misleading. I will do this by writing a title of the name of the channel, the release date and where you can find the channel. I will ensure that I do not offend the consumers by ensuring that there are no inappropriate jokes or mocking of any insecurities etc,...
