Multinational Eastenders.
Task 1
Eastenders is shown in UK, New Zealand, America, Holland, Africa, Canada ands other various european countries. We found 79 countries in 10 minutes. We didn’t expect to find this many countries, because we didn’t realise that this many countries would be familiar with the british cultures. Yes, for example the vast amount of african nations, that may or may not use english as one of their national languages.
Task 2
We believe it is shown in other countries because it gives other nationalities an insight into our national values. The types of people that watch Eastenders tend to be at opposite ends of the cultural spectrum. They may find it interesting to see what different stereotypes and vocal messages the show puts across about the british culture.
Task 3
It is watched on their national terrestrial television channels. It is watched on various international channels, such as ABC TV, TVNZ and Prime. It is available on websites in other countries for examples 4od can be viewed internationally. You can watch it on your tv, computer, laptop, phone, mp4 and tablet. Yes because not all of the countries speak the English language.
Coronation Street
At first, coronation street was shown in black and white, but as new technology was founded, there was a higher demand for the show to be shown in colour, therefore on the 17th November 1969, the first ever colour episode of coronation street was shown. Sound quality also improved, the sound quality was previously muffled in the 20th century episodes, but now in the 21st, the sound quality is much more sharper, this acts as a contribution to absorbing the audience. After improving the sound quality, then came the introduction of high definition (HD), this introduction brang the show into the 21st century, the show was first shown in HD on 31st may 2010. Due to the introduction of HD, avid systems were introduced, by introducing avid systems, it allowed the show's producers faster access to material, which therefore, in the long - term, leads to more money for the budget. Recently, the show has agreed to move to the brand new media city in Manchester, in which they will create a new set, which will in turn, make the street seem more up to date and modernisied, the move will also give the show's producers more access to equipment and better technological media.
Extension Activity
Britain is represented as a working class, politically influenced unstable country. From watching this you would know that the British like to socialize in specific meeting areas for example the pub (Queen Vic).
Areas to Consider
There is a wide majority of age groups ranging to newborns to the elderly people. There are a vast amount of religions represented in Eastenders due to the increase in multinational cultures migrating to the UK. There are a wide range of ethnicities and nationalities represented in Eastenders such as British Africans, British Asians and British Caribbean (Patrick Truman). There are a wide range of jobs mainly lower class due to the characters surroundings. The character’s happiness varies due to unfortunate events which happens in the programme. They go to the pub to socialize with friends.
Ownership channels in Print
Public ownership channel means it is owned by the people. (BBC television would be an example
of this).
Private ownership means they own many titles (Virgin).
Independant ownership means that the owner only owns one business (Corner Shop).
Independant ownership means that the owner only owns one business (Corner Shop).
One example of a newspaper that is internationally publicised and privately owned is, Trinity Mirror is the owner of the Daily Mirror. It is a PLC (Public Limited Company) and is an international company. This is because they also own a paper in australia. It is available online and so this would make it mulitnational. It is free to all customers and they fund it through advertising.
