Audio Codes- They have used non diegetic when the phoebe friend takes most of joey's food. This creates a tension because it shows the emotion that joey is really annoyed. Also the slow monition with the music creates the impression with the horror that she is doing to eat his food. The music also suggests that she should be scary as it sounds like the music from jaws, this will show that she shouldn't touch Joey's food or something bad will happen.

- Having the slow monition of the women, creates a tension showing annoyance and also the women looks happy.

The Fresh Prince of bel-air. 
1.The intended audience for this 14 - 30 because it shows a family life. Its about  how will gets in trouble and has to move in with his auntie and uncle in bel-air. This shows a stereotypical family and how his behave changed when he lived with his auntie and uncle. The show will target black americans this will be because its about a black american family. 
2.The programme meets personal identity, this would be because people can relate to the show about being kicked out and having to move in somewhere else. Also cause they don't live with their parents and they live with their auntie and uncle. Also people can relate to the show if they act they same way or similar. another gratifications that has be used is entertainment, this could be from seating down to relax or just flicking through channels and passing time. More people may watch this so to relax, as its a  very relaxing and funny programme. Another uses and gratification maybe social integration this maybe  watching the programme so you can talk to your friends or family about it.
3. Fresh Prince of Bel-air will me construction is a different way the real life is not. This would be because the show will pick a story line and change it from the outside world, but on some lines people can still relate to the story line.

This shows class because of where the school is it made national newspaper, whereas a school like Higham Lane probably wouldn't even make the local newspaper. This is a negative representation because its shows that a boy from an upper class school should not be taking drugs. However people using drugs in a lower class school, instead shown as a big deal.

Mrs Browns Boys shows a positive representations of sexuality. This is because one of the sons is homosexual, his mum didn't know this so he had to tell her. The TV programme shows you how he tells her he is gay, and how she expects it. Its a positive story because its a Irish Catholic family who accepts the son / brother for who he is.

This is Gillette Soccer Saturday, this is targeted more towards men. This is a positive representation because the presenters aren't serious and have a joke. Also as they are providing you information in a light hearted way.  You know its targeted more towards men as it is about football and there are no women on the panel.
