On thursday's lesson we had been watching the tv drama 'LIFE ON MARS'  in the lesson a few time and focuse on one type of representation in the drama. we had been purticularly focusing on periode although there are many other represantation shown through this pirticualer show.

one of the way representation of periode shown on life on mars was through the mise-en-scene. the show had started of with a modern style setting, with the wide shot of a bridge and buldings, which reprsented that  this is shot at the present time. Than moving on from that shot there was  close up of the main chartcter that was laying side ways on the road suggested that there had been a accident, most likely invloving a car as there was a car in the background when it showed a close up of the man and between that there were 3 more shot that kept moving closer to the charecter each time. this gave a an idea that the incedent had realated to the car, also suggested that there is going to be a shift in time becouse the car was quite old,i think this was purposely shown through this show to give idea to the audence.

The second shot that suggested that there was a shift on time was the through the costume,  as the costume had changed when the charcter woke up it look as if it was from the 70's with brown blazer, a bright shirt with fleried out trousers, the mise- en-scene agian suggested a time shift was that the car on the background had changed to a very old one and also the setting where the character got up, the location had changed from the brigde and big bulding to it was very dull place that was isolated with broken dumbed buldings shows an time era had changed. the narative suggested that the place was the same but a at a diffrent time, this is than clearly shown through the narative again when the man runs out of the place an we notice a billboard with a picture of the same setting that the show had started of with(the bridge and the buildings) stating "COMEING SOON". giving a vived picture that there has been a travel back in time (period).

The sounds also show the represtation of period as the music that had been played non-diageticaly at first when there was a 360 curculer shot of the charcter, the music that played was life on mars that suggested the time shift, through the lyrics and the beat as it seemed it was music from the 70's and this was reasured when the non-diagetic sound that turned into diegetic as the charcter move to the car and it showed as it was being played on the radio in the car.
