Plot of the Show

Describe about media and public sphere?

In the current era of science and technology, humans have started considering themselves the most education generation of all duration of time. However, they do not tend to realise that this advancement in technology is actually taking mankind nowhere. There is no denial in the fact that this advancement in technology has contributed in simplifying the lives of humans, considering activities of daily routine or any other highly complicated task (Crisell, 2002). Humans are living in nations having several societies of different background, religion and cultures. We listen to the news on death of people and there is no softness in the heart in the literal sense. The sources of media have been making the society and the people living in it cold hearted that the mankind has been becoming the slaves of their own wishes and desires, and are not able to identify problems that are significantly attached to the society (Reuters, 2014). If people living in the society are simply the decedents of Adam and Eve, why are their classifications in the society with respect to background, colour and religion?

The Love of Two Nations is a new television show that will be speaking about the core problems involved in the current society. The story will revolve around a couple of young teens who fell in love, but end up facing a number of problems due to their different cultural background. These problems are created by the members of the society.

With respect to this plot, this paper will be outlining the choices considered for deciding this particular pitch. This paper will be including information regarding the audiences involve, how the plot will be functioning in the sphere of public, celebrity involved, any convergent opportunities, postmodernity, and relationship with media.

The Love of Two Nations is a new television show that will be speaking about the core problems involved in the current society. The story will revolve around a couple of young teens who fell in love, but end up facing a number of problems due to their different cultural background. These problems are created by the members of the society.

Due to the fact that it is a romantic script, it will be targeting the female audience. Because of the fact that the movie will be involving action as well, it will be targeting the male audience as well. For surviving and lasting in the society with the delivery of appropriate message, the plot will ensure that this spectacle will be maintaining social control and effective handling of each and every threat towards the social order (Verlaan, 2009). The plot of this show will result in creating a significant public sphere. This sphere of public served on conducting mediation amongst the state and the private sphere that means, between the public and social life of individuals. The sphere being created can be made possible when there will be involvement of rational debates that will be supported by the concept of self- consciousness.

Targeted Audience

The entire society keeps troubling the young couple and a significant role is played by media in their life of love. Hence, it can be stated that the plot of this show can be considered as being similar to that of Cupid vs. War. However, it must be noted that there is nothing new in this plot. It is a common tail that has been taking place for a number of centuries when people of two different nations end up falling in love. In this plot, two end up falling in love within the marvellous suburbs situated in Williams Landing in Melbourne.

The movie comes under the genre of romance, drama, action and comedy. This plot of drama has been set on the basis of a true story involving a Muslim girl from Palestine, Sadia Farhan, and a Jewish boy from Islam, Aapo Abbott. The plot s from the duration of Sydney Siege when there was a beginning of the hash tag “I’ll ride with you”. How they ended up falling in love, what issues were being encountered to get married and how a couple of Australia helped the in order to get married. This show will be including a number of love quotes and tails written b Williams Shakespeare, along with a number of originalities from the writer as well.

The love of two nations will be seeking the audience of senior, adults and young citizens from all across the globe. Due to the fact that it is a romantic script, it will be targeting the female audience. Because of the fact that the movie will be involving action as well, it will be targeting the male audience as well (Reuters, 2014).

It is extremely important to know that the social location of love is in the domain of woman and is considered as being innately feminine. This is the assumption of history and it has been market that in the traditional context, women have been playing the role of both, transmitters and targets of love stories, whether it be sad, happy, action- related, involving hatred of the society and even fairy tales (Verlaan, 2009). This target audience especially contributes in dividing the spheres that helps to foster love becoming predominant with respect to the task of romance and women who behave as significant consumers of media. Men do not play a significant role in being audience of love stories as they are known to more unversed in love as the dialogue regarding the subject has been constructed socially for fitting across the attributes of feminism like the value of internal emotions (Reuters, 2014). Hence, it can be stated that the population of women have been targeted as there is an extremely strong relationship between feminism and love that is ideal for the media and the cinema as well.

Partially or completely opposite to females, who only consider remembering the basic feeling being left behind by the story of a specific movie or show, males tend to pay more attention on logical flow and detail (Glynn, 2000). Males prefer movies that consist of realistic contents and plots. Men always tend to be focusing on logic, technicality and wise scenes while giving considerate thought to every dialogue. Hence, this show will be successful in targeting the male audience as well, as the plot is realistic, logical and involves action.

Functioning in the Public Sphere

On the other hand, young audiences will be targeted and these tend to be standing on a completely different dimension as audiences of media. Thus, the young audience will be targeted as these tend to be showing a specific willingness and generosity for entering within the spirit of entertainment (GrossbergL. (2008). Young audiences prefer enjoying by actively participating instead of passively spectating.

The plot of this show will result in creating a significant public sphere. This sphere of public served on conducting mediation amongst the state and the private sphere that means, between the public and social life of individuals. The sphere being created can be made possible when there will be involvement of rational debates that will be supported by the concept of self- consciousness. This concept of self- consciousness will enable the private individuals for overcoming their differences and coming together for forming a collective public (McLagan, 2002). This sphere has been set in accordance with the plot itself. In the plot, the couple in loving, facing problems created by the society will be supported by a couple of Australia who will be helping them in getting married.

Even though at a lower level, this plot will help in depicting that the population of Australia are supporters of love and support marriage even if the couple is from two different backgrounds (Patrick, 2000). Thus, the sphere of public will result in involving the general public along with newspapers, social institutes against inter cast marriages and parliaments as well to bring amendments in law to support these kinds of marriages. Newspaper will not only be encouraging the public debate and opinions, but also will be involving the adequate representations of the perceptions held by different societies (Reuters, 2014). This show will contribute in reflecting and differentiating the value of three different cultural groups that are Jews, Australians, and Muslims. Hence, it can be stated that this will result in having a significant impact on the actual values held by these cultures and the public will be able to relate to what it should actually be. However, rational debate cannot be considered as being an appropriate feature for the sphere of public in this particular context.

The power of influencing meaning is considered as the power of defining question, or the power of defining what is considered as being important for the others and what self- perceptions they have for themselves. This power will be ignited by the plot of this show that can be considered as being a significant idea in spectacle of media. The media results affecting individuals in a number of different ways (Verlaan, 2009). Spectacle is referred to as a centralized notion within the theory of Situation that had been mentioned in the book, “The society of the Spectacle”, written by Guy Debord. In the most restricted context, spectacle is referred to as the mass media that is the most glaring manifestation of superficial factors. This plot will be having a strong relation with the recuperation that is a significant aspect involved in media spectacle (Shenoy, 2006). For surviving and lasting in the society with the delivery of appropriate message, the plot will ensure that this spectacle will be maintaining social control and effective handling of each and every threat towards the social order. Recuperation is referred to as the process with the help of which media spectacle will be intercepting politically and socially radical images and ideas, by their commodification, and then safe incorporation of them back within the society of mainstream (McLagan, 2002). In the broader context, this can be referred to as the co- opting or appropriation of a specific subversive idea or work by the media of mainstream. It can be considered as being the opposite point of detournement that is considered as the fact that there is commodification between the conventional images and ideas with the intentions that are radical (Potter, 2009).

In consideration with this plot, there will be a close relationship between culture and revolution and the everyday life. The significant reason behind this is that this is why powers of conservatism are interested to forbid them that is any direct accessibility towards the rigged game related to the culture in its official sense.

The media of postmodernism focuses on rejecting the idea that any text or product of media is of nay higher value in comparison with the others. Each and every judgement of value will definitely be taste (Verlaan, 2009). Anything can be considered as being art. In context with this concept, the plot will definitely deserve reaching the audience in a significant manner. This is due to the fact that the main base of plot is two young people from different culture falling in love. The idea has been used for a number of plots. However, as the issue is still present in the society, it had not yet been consumed in a significant manner. Hence, this will definitely result in attracting the public (Singh, 2003). There has been a significant collapse between reality and media. By using this plot, the source of media will be using representations, costumes, dialogues and reality as this problem is significantly present in the current setting of the society. Representations and images are considered as key sources for living in reality that is referred to as the key condition of simulacrum. Postmodernism is also referred to as a significant source of reflecting the feelings of alteration in the modern society (Sternheimer, 2011). The alteration being made by this plot will be having a significant impact on the society following the related cultural values.

Even though at a lower level, this plot will help in depicting that the population of Australia are supporters of love and support marriage even if the couple is from two different backgrounds. Thus, the sphere of public will result in involving the general public along with newspapers, social institutes against inter cast marriages and parliaments as well to bring amendments in law to support these kinds of marriages. Newspaper will not only be encouraging the public debate and opinions, but also will be involving the adequate representations of the perceptions held by different societies (Sarno, 2005). The entire society keeps troubling the young couple and a significant role is played by media in their life of love. Hence, it can be stated that the plot of this show can be considered as being similar to that of Cupid vs. War. However, it must be noted that there is nothing new in this plot. It is a common tail that has been taking place for a number of centuries when people of two different nations end up falling in love. In this plot, two end up falling in love within the marvellous suburbs situated in Williams Landing in Melbourne.

This will be having a significant implication over the realistic sources of media, as the sense of reality is now considered as being utterly dominating in the popular images of media. Forms of culture cannot be considered as holding up the mirror for showing the reality (Shenoy, 2006). The evidences in the society are highly significant and appropriate to reflect the values of different culture. This show will be making an attempt on convincing the society for supporting marriage between different cultural backgrounds as ultimately mankind is part of the same earth.

Conclusion

The Love of Two Nations is a new television show that will be speaking about the core problems involved in the current society. The story will revolve around a couple of young teens who fell in love, but end up facing a number of problems due to their different cultural background. The sphere being created can be made possible when there will be involvement of rational debates that will be supported by the concept of self- consciousness. This concept of self- consciousness will enable the private individuals for overcoming their differences and coming together for forming a collective public (Tasker, 2009). The love of two nations will be seeking the audience of senior, adults and young citizens from all across the globe. The power of influencing meaning is considered as the power of defining question, or the power of defining what is considered as being important for the others and what self- perceptions they have for themselves. This power will be ignited by the plot of this show that can be considered as being a significant idea in spectacle of media. The media results affecting individuals in a number of different ways (Verlaan, 2009). Hence, it can be stated that this will result in having a significant impact on the actual values held by these cultures and the public will be able to relate to what it should actually be. However, rational debate cannot be considered as being an appropriate feature for the sphere of public in this particular context.
