Clarkson's Farm Amazon Prime
History
- Set on Clarkson's own farm (Diddly Squat Farm) where audience members watch everyday challenges and events unfold on his farm. <- Could also be argued that this is more educational then conventional reality TV shows.
- Farm was taken over by Jeremy as he originally believed farming was easy but upon realising the hardships of the profession he started the series as he wanted to show people the true side of farming
- Produced by Expectation LTD and originally started filming late 2019 but was delayed in release until 2021 due to the pandemic.
- Directed by Gavin Whitehead <- Old director of Top Gear
How genre conventions are employed?
- Contradicts the genre by showing all sides of the farming business not just the good bits which makes it an excellent example of true reality TV this does contradict some forms of conventional reality TV
- Conforms with the genre by showing the true stories of the farm
How and why intertextuality is used?
- To Jeremy Clarkson's previous work on Top Gear and Grand Tour, this is done as Easter eggs in order to please long time fans.
- Uses the same director as Top Gear and Grand Tour <- As such the style of camera work and pace is similar to his past work
How combinations of media language elements are used to create meaning?
- Up Close Shots of face- Used to create comedy and show emotions after something has gone wrong
- Long panning shots- Allows the audience to get a sense of scale or how big Jeremy has messed Up
- Drone shot- Used to establish the settings for the events seen on screen
