News Values and Audience Appeal

The guardian is a left wing paper, which means it supports the ideology similar to that of the Labour party. However, The Guardian are much more open to other views especially compared to the Daily Mail. You can see this in the covers I chose where they support David Cameron (Conservative), but also go against him a bit where they said he 'attacked Johnson', showing that they are open to both sides on a topic. 

The language that The Guardian uses is much more formal and fair compared to that of the Daily Mail. This is to appeal to their target audience which tends to be middle aged, upper class people. The Guardian's agenda tends to be more 'hard' news and so the viewpoint tends to be more open so that target audience gets a better idea on whatever topic they are reading.

The images that The Guardian uses tend to be smaller and more relevant than those used in the Daily Mail. Their headlines are also much smaller and less offensive, this shows that their focus is much more on their stories than their over the top headlines and images like those in the Daily Mail.

 The Daily Mail is a right wing paper, meaning it supports the ideology similar to that of the conservative party. This means that they will usually support the views of the conservatives when political events come up. For instance, the covers I have chosen shows them supporting the conservatives more or degrading left wing parties such as the labour party. 


Daily Mail especially like to use large images as it is a tabloid. This helps exaggerate their usually biased headline. You can see this in the first cover I picked out, where Theresa May looks powerful and dominant.

That is probably why they use more informal and sometimes offensive language because that's the type of language elderly people grew up with. I think this correlates with the viewpoint of the Daily Mail, because they support the Conservatives who tend to be very patriotic and so they appeal to most elderly people as they are used to the classic, more patriotic view on things.

Story-boarding: Introduction: The introduction to my music video will be set on the beach in the evening. The first shot is a birds eye view of the sea crashing on to the beach with words like the artists and the song title. It will turn in to a series of shots of exoctic places and activities in different locations , to go with the 'live in the moment' type story. During the song, there are parts where the voice is the main focus. This is where I plan to have extreme close ups of lips miming the lyrics of the song. This will not only show a variation in shot selection, but will also make a connection between the video and the song. The storyboard sketches are just some ideas that I have in mind, but might not make it to the video. All the shots in the photo are inspired by other dance music videos that have a similar atmosphere that I want to partially replicate.

Evaluate My Initial Footage

Framing -  We think that our shot is framed well. Our actor is in the centre of the frame and the backdrop is fairly accurate against the original. Our shot could be improved by having the actor further away so that he is smaller in the frame and his knees are at the bottom. The professional shit is successful because it has a good use of contrast with the shadows and the outfit is clearly shown with a contrast between the shirt and skirt. Lighting -  Our lighting works fairly well, however it is slightly brighter than the original. We relied on ambient lighting which may have been too harsh with the halogen lights. The original appears to have relied on ambient lighting of the sun fairly late in the day through a window. The professional shot may have used their lighting in order to make the subject stand out by making the background darker. Mise en scene -  Our costume is fairly close to the original with the skirt and check shirt. The shirt ...

HOW MINECRAFT IS MARKETED DIFFERENTLY - ESSAY

When Minecraft was officially released, marketing was solely based on word of mouth. Due to its never-ending possibilities it became pretty popular. With the help of YouTube, Minecraft has become one of the most popular games as it allowed users to show other fans their creations and how they have used the game. This is also free publicity for Mojang who created Minecraft. Within the game, Mojang have teamed up with other games such as Fallout and Skyrim Elder Scrolls for in game features such as themed worlds and skins. The consumption of Minecraft is large and varied compared to other games. As a user you can play the game first hand, or there are multiple ways to watch and interact through things like Youtube. Youtube allows users to generate their own creative content for other people to view and interact with.  Different versions of the game were released in order to allow people to get what they want out of the game. Narratives in the game include 'story modes', '...
