Media language


  • Concentrating on costumes in 'Little Britain' is vital as they're so relevant to the characters and the way they're represented e.g. the gay character Daffyd and his tight, leather outfits creates the stereotype etc.
  • The music in the background when going into another scene sometimes contrasts the show's title being about Britain by playing classical music to which people normally stereotype Britain for our sophisticated culture and Royal family.
  • Mise en scene in general is being looked upon as well as it increases the stereotypes of people being represented and groups to where they're coming from etc.
  • The voiceover from Tom Baker that even through very funny, it may cause issues and debates on how this nation really fels about certain situations.
  • The cinematography is quite ordinary in terms of it being a sketch show. The typical shots that you'd expect to see you see; close ups, medium shots, long shots, none at any particular angle to suggest anything special and this could reflct on the show's representations of Britain. By not going all out to get really GREAT shots could show the producers as showing working class Britain to be very ordinary and nothing special about us.
