Media blog Homework

Media blog Homework

1)  I chose media studies for A level as I found it to be interesting and the topics that are done are also interesting

2)  I did not choose Media for GSCE and I went to Greenford High School before A level

3) I hope to achieve an A for A level Media .

4) After completing my A levels,  I hope to go to university.

5) So far, I think the biggest media story of 2017 was Grenfell tower as it was a tragedy and caused the deaths of many innocent people and also gained a lot of media coverage by many major news channels.

6) Personally, I use The Guardian to find out about any news on the internet however on TV I use BBC news.

7) The last movie that I watched was IT. IT is a 2017 film based on a book and also had a previous adaptation. The movie falls under the genre of horror and I personally thought it was a good film.

8) My favourite ever series is Power as I found it to be I good and intriguing and the premise is enjoyable to watch.

9) I think that I do spend time online too much sometimes but I try not to always be on it as it can distract me for too long and I would rather prefer it to not be a habit.

Mise en Scene analysis

 Mise en scene analysis In this still image you see a man in a bus. The costume the man is wearing a black jacket, the colour black represented mystery, evil and death which can foreshadow what happens later to the man clarifying the shocked look on his face. In the image, the lighting is bright however as you move further away from the man it becomes blurry and harder to see. The blurring could link to how the character feels confused and astonished. The actor  in the image has a frightened and terrified expression on his face showing that he is terrified and is a state of panic and fear and also he is in a hunched position so that he can be avoid being seen which shows that he is uneasy, timid and reserved.  It looks like the character has dark rings underneath his eyes which could be the result of make-up which shows how the character is restless and is in a state of discomfort and uneasiness.

Daily Mail case study

Daily Mail case study 1) The front page stories on the September 21st edition of the Daily Mail is a news story about Meghan Markle and the other one is Theresa May trying to get strike a deal which allows the UK to leave the EU. 2) Meghan Markle, EU deal. 3) The front cover has been split into two stories covering Meghan Markle and EU deal. The part that is focusing on Meghan Markle uses a Sans Seriff font and is coloured in purple which has connotations relating to royalty which links to Meghan Markle as she is royalty herself. It also has a picture of Meghan Markle and her mother both appearing to be happy and smiling which gives a positive image towards the both of them. It also shows how the Daily Mail wants the audience to think a certain way when it comes to reading the news story on Meghan Markle as they use positive images which makes the audience think a certain way when reading the news story. The second news story about the EU deal uses black and white and us

News Story 3

News Story 3 1 ) https://www.dailymail.news.uk/news/article-6232587/Knifeman-goes-rampage-stabs-commuters-east-London-train.html Knifeman 'goes on the rampage' on London train and stabs one person putting Hackney Central station on lockdown. 2)   3) I would consider this news story hard news as hard news tends to talk about politics, war , economics and crime and this would be considered crime. Also, the website uses a factual approach in which they explain the events and what happened . This also talks about a serious topic which is a knife man going on rampage which causing three people to be hurt and because of this I would consider this hard news. 4) This might appeal to an audience as it uses Familiarity and Surprise. Familiarity is used as it the incident occurred in the Hackney which is in the UK causing the audience who are predominantly UK readers to be effected more as it is closer to them. Surprise is used as this incident is indeed a surprise whic
