How genre conventions are employed?
- Drive to survive uses a lot of sensationalism and sometimes creation of fake drama in order to retain audiences - Lots of fans of Formula 1 boycotted the show due to the fact they felt most events were presented as sensationalised and sometimes completely opposite to the events within real life.
- The show also uses lots of interviews though out the season which match the events seen on the audiences screen, which are then cut and manipulated in order to craft the most exciting version of events
How and why intertextuality is used?
- Within the series the producers pay homage to past films such as Risk and Le Mans by shooting/portraying the show within the a similar style/pacing, This creates a tense atmosphere which viewers will recognise as similar to early racing movies.
