Representation in print media

Representation Print based media has a great influence on people’s opinions and views of the different aspects of our society. It can give people biased and negative attitudes towards certain people or groups, as well as positive attitudes to people or things that may not necessarily deserve it. Newspapers, posters, magazines and newsletters can all change people’s opinions and shape the world we live in to their liking. Many would say that they do this for their own figures and their own money income. For example, The Sun previously printed topless ladies on every page 3 of their daily tabloid. These girls were undoubtedly beautiful, which then caused younger girls and even easily influenced women to want to ‘be like them’ in a sense. This obviously lead to them buying products and putting more money into the cash flow. These weren’t the only people that were targeted by this segment, however. Of course, a lot of men liked this and it would have become somewhat of an obsessio...

Representation in moving-image media

Representation in moving-image media There are many different forms of representation in the media. These can be biased, offensive or stereotypical. There are also many platforms in which these representations can be held within. These include trailers, TV shows and films. These platforms also have their own websites or places that they can be found. For example, trailers and other short clips can be find on one of the most popular websites in the world-YouTube.

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...
