Magazine article thing

This week, we were joined by Joe, Ben, Tyler and Brody from multi-award winning band Niil.

FRANCES: So how does it feel to be the biggest grunge band of the modern era?

JOE: Well to be honest, I don't really enjoy the fame.

FRANCES: Really?

JOE: Yeah, I mean I enjoyed being the typical guy from Seattle before this. Now I can't get a moments silence because you guys are always after me for interviews.

FRANCES: What do you think of interviews?

JOE: Didn't you hear me before we began? (laughs) They asked me if I wanted to do one. I said f*** no (laughs).


FRANCES: What's your favourite song on the new album?

BEN: I like 'social withdrawal'.

DANTE: 'Mute' is my favourite from the album because it's heavy as sh**.

MADICHI: 'Depressed respiration'.

JOE: 'Deyki's Insomnia' because it took me five minutes to write.


FRANCES: Did any bands influence you for this album?

DANTE: Yeah I'm a big fan of Bring me The Horizon.

JOE: Yeah they're cool, and theres always bands like Nirvana and The Pixies who set the tone for this sort of music, you know? Oh and The Meat Puppets is another one.


FRANCES: Would you say that you're a spokesperson for a generation?

JOE: I'm a spokesperson for myself. It's a coincidence that there's a bunch of people who relate and care about what I have to say. It's scary at times because I don't want to be a f**king spokesperson.


FRANCES: Before we go, is there any advice you'd like to give to the younger audience?

MADICHI: Keep doing drugs, but not hard ones, oh and keep buying our music so I can get rid of that piss stained mattress of mine.

DANTE: Yeah, go marijuana.

JOE: I just said I don't want to be a spokesperson.

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.

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.

Barnardos: The Row advert

In this advert, there are many techniques used to make the the advert more effective. For example, it opens with a mid-shot of the child and there is screaming in the background. There is non-digetic music in the background which makes the mood seem depressing. It is also very informing as the information for the charity is on the screen at the end in a clear form.
