‭Objective: Identify and analyze narrative codes (audio, technical, symbolic, verbal) to‬
‭understand how they shape perspectives.‬

‭Step 1: First Impressions‬

‭1.‬ ‭Watch the video in full. (Done)‬


‭2.‬ ‭What was your general impression of the video?‬
‭○‬ ‭Write 2-3 sentences.‬
‭Answer‬‭: The whole video was about Qatar. It says One of the famous stadiums in the world is‬
‭in Qatar by the name of Lusail stadium ( in Lusail city ). It has 80000 seats. In Qatar 70% of‬
‭the government's revenue comes from oil and gas exports.‬
‭Qatar made an unbeatable promise to fifa. They said that they will spend more money to build‬
‭stadiums. After that promise Qatar built 8 stadiums. Since the 2000s, so many foreigners have‬
‭come to Qatar for work and they make up 80% of the population.‬

‭Step 2: Analyzing Narrative Codes‬

‭A. Audio Codes‬

‭1.‬ ‭List any notable sound effects, music, or voiceover tones.‬


‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭The video has background music which is very‬‭serious in the beginning‬
‭but not that much in the middle. The woman that was talking about Qatar was so‬
‭serious and her serious tone makes the video very important.‬
‭2.‬ ‭Describe the mood or feeling these sounds create.‬
‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭The serious background music and the woman’s‬‭tone makes the video‬
‭feel more formal and focused. It means that the topic of the video is very‬
‭important.‬
‭3.‬ ‭How do these sounds influence your understanding or emotions about the‬
‭topic?‬
‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭The serious tone in the beginning of the video‬‭makes Qatar seem like a‬
‭place with a lot of significance. And when the music becomes softer it shows‬
‭that everything is very focused and relaxed.‬
‭B. Technical Codes‬

‭1.‬ ‭Describe key camera angles (e.g., close-ups, wide shots) or editing‬
‭techniques.‬
‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭Their editing was very good. They used beautiful‬‭colors like yellow,‬
‭blue, etc. In some parts of the video, they used slow motion.‬
‭2.‬ ‭What effect do these choices have on your attention and emotions?‬
‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭The serious tone of the video made the slow‬‭motion even more‬
‭interesting to watch. The use of beautiful colors like blue made the video‬
‭beautiful and the slow motion in some parts grabbed my attention, making me‬
‭more focused on the important moments.‬
‭3.‬ ‭Explain how the technical elements help emphasize certain parts of the‬
‭narrative.‬
‭-‬ ‭Answer:‬‭I think the slow motion was used in some places‬‭to grab more attention.‬
‭That helped us to focus on important parts of the story. It makes these‬
‭moments feel more special and intense.‬

‭patterns.‬
