B Block Criminology - Rey Raggy...rit's Rooby Rooby Rooooo! Today, we'll watch the old school "Scooby Doo Where are You?" episode Jeepers, It's the Jaguaro (it may help with question #4 below)
- What assumptions or beliefs do Scooby Doo’s creators have that are reflected in the content?
- How does this make you feel, based on how similar or different you are from the people portrayed in the media product?
- How does the commercial purpose (it's made for a profit right?) of Scooby Doo cartoons influence the content and how it's communicated?
- Who and what is shown in a positive light? In a negative light? Why might these people and things be shown this way?
- Who and what is not shown at all? What conclusions might audiences draw based on these facts?
- "How does Scooby Doo explain crime and gender roles to young people"?
Now although Scooby Doo is fun, we need to look at it through a more critical eye. So, take a look at the elements of Media Literacy...Not only are media constructions (made by humans) but that the receiving audience interprets the meaning of the message themselves. Remember, Scooby Doo is media and media are constructions - Media products are created by individuals who make conscious and unconscious choices about what to include, what to leave out and how to present what is included. These decisions are based on the creators’ own point of view, which will have been shaped by their opinions, assumptions and biases – as well as media they have been exposed to. As a result of this, media products are never entirely accurate reflections of the real world – even the most objective documentary filmmaker has to decide what footage to use and what to cut, as well as where to put the camera – but we instinctively view many media products as direct representations of what is real...now I know Scooby Doo is a cartoon, but for the questions above please Feel free to use the TV Tropes sites on Scooby Doo characters and Scooby Doo Analysis or read through the following too
