Sound task feedback LR

Sounds Task: LR "Superb audience reaction-immediately gets a response which is a great sign. I'm not sure how contrapuntal the images/videos at the start are... perhaps because it is so well edited in time with the music? Because of this, there wasn't a dramatic shift between the two elements which I always look for with this task. Clear thought behind this in terms of audience effect + gratifications... this was made to entertain!"

Props- Dumbledore holds a 'Deluminator' which is a prop that adds to the effect of mystery as it removes light. This suggests that the scene has to be secretive and und...

Reviews and features Read the following reviews and features on  Deutschland 83 : The Guardian - Your next box set: Deutschland 83 Daily Telegraph review The Guardian - Deutschland 83 Pity the Germans don't like it 1) What positive aspects of  Deutschland 83  are highlighted in the reviews? The period drama included a  lot of 80's culture that was very well received by the British viewers. For exampl, the music was very nostalgic, the costumes and the props (the walkman). 2) What criticisms are made of the show? ' By focusing the story around Martin Rauch, a young East German border guard going undercover in the west, it doesn’t just make the viewer empathise with a Stasi agent on a human level – in the way The Lives of Others did – it makes us engage with the socialist regime’s worldview, in which a military exercise in West Germany poses a potentially   existential threat . Yet as if to make up for such a radical premise, it then backtracks into stereotype...
