Year 12 induction lesson part 2

You will be examined on TV drama and representation at the end of year 12. This will equate to 25% of your AS level in Media Studies.

One area you will need to write about in your exam is editing - and gender.

First of all - recap what constitutes editing.

Then look at each of the sections in this clip from the Game of Thrones. For each section of clip, complete the following tasks:
  • Identify the editing techniques used in the clip
    • Don't forget about post-production editing (soundtrack, sound effects, etc.)
  • Explain the purpose of the editing technique in relation to the representation of gender. Does it reveal anything about:
    • Stereotypes/anti-stereotypes?
    • Relationships?
    • Characters?
    • Is it manipulating audience perception? What perception? How?
    • Don't forget about other purposes of editing as a whole - narrative, pace, rhythm, etc. How can these link to gender? 
    • Look particularly at characters 'thinking' and 'fighting'.

  • 0:00-0:27 - start of clip to where Jaime Lannister says "Which will she choose?"
  • 0:27-0:36 - Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister walk along the bridge to where he sits down in the middle of the bridge
  • 0:48-1:00 - Jaime Lannister says, "I never used to get corns!" to where he steals Brienne's sword
  • 1:03-1:22 - Brienne removes her sword to where they look at each other over their swords eye to eye
  • 1:39-1:50 - Jaime Lannister attacks Brienne to where he pushes Brienne backwards over the bridge
  • 2:00-2:30 - Jaime Lannister holds his sword towards Brienne to Brienne kicking Jaime in the gut
  • 2:31-2:48 - Jaime says "If you were willing to hurt me..." to Jaime leaning back on the wall with his sword out
  • 2:49-3:11 - Jaime strikes out from the wall to Brienne standing over the fallen Jaime
  • 3:13-3:42 - Jaime gets up off the floor to Jaime looking back at Brienne
  • 3.45-4.05 - Jaime says "Let us go..." to the men on horses proceeding over the bridge
