Why
was the pre-watershed scheduling of 8pm significant in terms of the
representations they could offer? ( marks 3 )
The reason why most/some shows are aired after 5-7pm is what the movie or show has in its contents such as
-Drugs
-Violence
-Over 16 recommended viewers
-Gore and blood
-violent language
shows are aired after 5pm to protect children from seeing bad images on TV and so they wont take in what is shown on TV and think this is okay.
Some shows that are aired after 5pm are supposed to be unsuitable for most audience
How
were the following areas represented in the episode: (10 marks)
Ethnicity
Gender
Sexuality
Cuffs was aired around 8pm on BBC but at the time cuffs was released (2015) most of the topics that are shown in episode 1 season 1 of the program is presented in Brighton which is presented as the gay capital of britan, however Homosexuality was a subject that wasn't approved as much as it is the present day now as most people where against the subject (homosexuality). One of the main characters in cuffs is gay which isn't the biggest change to TV but is encouraging the trend that was ahead of its time.
Watershed question: 1/3 you are on the right lines BUT your facts are incorrect about the watershed. Watershed is 9pm. So, your answer should have revolved around the fact it was shocking it was on at 8PM as it contained suicide, race killings and homosexual storylines that some family audience may find too much for younger children.
