· Big Brother: The Tree of Temptation (docugame)
How is Ben the contestant being represented?
Ben is one of the contestants in the big brother house. Ben was represented as a subordinate, weak, innocent and unconfident person in the video clip. Whenever the tree speaks to him in an inappropriate way, he takes time to think and reply back to the tree which makes him look stupid and scared; this is because the editor purposely didn’t edit the shot where he thinks. In contrast, if the editor edited the shots where Ben thinks for long, and made his response seem as if it’s fast and sharp, this will probably make the audience think his confident and he knows how to argue against the tree which is meant to be the superior in the big brother house.
How is the Tree of Temptation represented?
The Tree of Temptation is represented as evil, rude, a bully, dominant and powerful. The tree of temptation knew it was doing and saying, as his script was written in advanced. It also used a bit of sarcasm and humour to downgrade Ben and to make him look stupid and weak. His voice and use of slang sounds like his from East London, maybe a black man, uneducated, dumb. In addition, there were more shots of Ben than shots of the ‘Tree of temptation’ to focus more into Ben. This shows that contestants are like exhibitionists who are prepared to allow the pubic to access aspects in their life.

How does the Game Show use Media Language to ENGAGE the Target Audience?
Firstly, the use of sound such as non-diegectic and diegectic sounds is used to engage readers with the audience.

Furthermore, another non diegectic sound used in this trailer was the voiceover; the hosts Ant and Dec. The comment and instruct the contestant on the time, how many stars he collected...etc. This also guided the audience and made them stay focused as they will know exactly what’s happening at that moment. In Addition quick cuts increased excitement which also creates tension and tense of urgencies. For example the cross cutting from the clock ticking to the contestant then to the crocodile making it seem as if it’s coming nearer to the contestant as the clock ticks faster. Hence, the use of quick editing also made the whole scene very dramatic which immediately engages the audience and kept them interested.
