More newspaper headlines and analysis


The headline for this issue of the Sun emphasises it's racist views on the Islamic people of the UK. It uses bold writing to make the story seem attractive to it's target audience. The stereotypes about this group of people show that they are right-wing. The newspaper is clearly a tabloid and this is identifiable by the large text and the big pictures. The newspaper is owned by a right-wing upper class man named Rupert Murdoch and this is where the opinions are formed.


Similarly, this newspaper uses a racist headline to please it's target audience. There is also some other aspects of this tabloid that is worth noting too. For example, the strap line uses the fact that the man killed had a foreign accent. This will grab the attention of the wing target audience and it will also grab the attention of Polish people. The standalone also features reality TV which is commonly associated with working class people. 

Right-wing is an ideology which values tradition and entrepreneurship. It is hugely against change. Right-wing papers are usually against the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn and support parties like the Conservative party and UKIP.


This newspaper front page from the Daily Mirror uses a left-wing approach to the general election in 2017, showing success for the Labour Party and Jeremy Corbyn and the opposite for Theresa May and the Tories after they lost their majority. The Mirror felt that this was a big story as they did not use any standalone or any other features on the page. Instead, they opted to use the whole image to make it the only important thing in the news. The masthead features the phrase 'Fighting for you', implying that the Mirror is more of a working class paper. Some may even say that it is for the many, not the few.

Left-wing is an ideology that supports change for the better, it is more tolerant and supports LGBT rights. It cares more for citizens and doesn't approach the world with a 'hunger games' approach style where it doesn't matter if people die or not.

The Bridge season 1, 2 and 3 analysis (s3 ep1)

In season 1 and 2 of The Bridge, there is a lot of character building and it sets the tone for the rest of the series. Many conventions that are in ep1 of season 1 remain the same in season 3. For example, one of the most noticeable things straight away is the eeriness of the music. This also compliments the dark lighting that is essentially used throughout the whole show. It makes the show feel very dark. For example, in season 3 episode 1, there is a scene where the lighting in the flaming is all dark, but in the corner of the screen there is blue from a police car bleeding into the frame. The main character of the show, Saga, is a female detective who is very straight to the point. It is suggested that she has autism, though not explicitly mentioned.  In season 1, this is contrasted with the Danish male detective who seems to have more empathy and social skills.  In season 3, Saga is contrasted with the female Danish detective who seems to be more confident with dealing wit...

Music video statement of aims and intentions

Aims and Intentions I aim to create a music video using my own instrumental track with guitar and potentially a rhythm instrument too. I also plan on using a grunge or Japanese metal track for the vocals in my song from a freelance website or Soundcloud (if i choose to add vocals after the final track is made). The audio in my music video will be very well thought of and will match the visuals on the screen. I will accomplish this by adding mis-en-scene that matches the lyrics and edit it to the cuts in the music. I will take inspiration from existing grunge music videos such as Nirvana's Heart Shaped Box and a few Steel Panther videos. This inspires me because it is unorthodox and different to typical corporate music videos released in this century, which just include basic narratives and people with as much clothes off as YouTube allows. I plan on using one or two people in my video as characters in a short narrative plot. I will use Jacob and Ben. My plot will be depres...

>an understanding of spectatorship in terms of the level and type of engagement a film elicits in the spectator including, for example, concepts such as identification, alignment and allegiance > how key features of the film, such as camera position, editing, sound, performance or aspects of narrative and genre can create passive and active responses > some recognition of the role of viewing context and spectators' social and cultural background in influencing spectator response > a recognition that spectators are likely to shift between passive and active viewing.
