Representation

Re-Presentation... never never can be live or reality T.v as someone has positioned the cameras and the angles of what they are capturing. 'The process of which the media presents the'real world'(rayner)' The seltection process is: The decision over what is chosen to be represented and what is rejected. The choice made when organising the representation. The options taken to focus the audience in a cirtan way. Who or what is being represented? HOW is the representaion created? (mise en Scene) WHO has created the representation? Why is the representation created in that way? Whats the intention? WHAT is the effect of the representation? GATEKEEPING! A theorist, White(1961) spoke of the 'gatekepers'-that is the people who are part of the dicision making process in the construction of media texts. -parental control. -BBC, Commisioners. -Law makers, Government. -Director. -Producers. -Editors. -Audience.

as you can see on 'Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here' these trials were done live on the show. this is classed as a reality t.v show but as i have said above nothing is 100% reality as someone has choosen the camera angles of which they were going to shoot. This particular clip uses many angles to show the veiwer full dynamics of what is being eaten.

    This is 'reality' TV but what is real about 12 people living in a camp where they must undergo tasks in order to survive?

    Why do we enjoy watching people suffer on TV? is there anything 'real' about I'm A Celebrity? Are even their reactions real or are they influenced by the presence of a TV crew?
