Representation is the way in which media texts are constructed to show a mediated version of reality.
-Tv drama is a constructed genre
-Mediation in Tv drama is the process of deciding which micro elements to include and why (e.g aspects of mise-en-scene to connote wealth)
Verisimilitude:
the appearance of truth and believability.
Soaps are realistic, they have high levels of verisimilitude; the mise-en-scene, setting, location are designed to look authentic and real. True Blood, Shameless, Luther have a hyper-reality quality: less versimilitude (less believeable,quick editing, special fix)
Editing in Tv drama is designed to increase verisimilitude.
