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. 

Image result for daily mail politics coverThe language that Daily Mail uses helps appeal to their target audience, which is usually more elderly people. 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.

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', '...

Pitch, Statement of Intent and Mockups

Pitch My aim for my billboard posters in relation to Fairtrade is to try and show the equality within the brand through the posters themselves. I will try and do this by using an outdoor setting, because it has that correlation to nature and represents that natural environment. I believe this will help give a clearer idea to the reader about the link to Fairtrade. This isn't clearly shown in my mock-ups as they are just sample images. The only reason I used these images was to show the similar style of clothing and poses. The two mock-ups have slight differences in layout and fonts and when it comes to the final poster I will decide on the most appropriate style. However, whatever it ends up looking like it will have a clean and simple approach, as I believe it suits the ethos of the company.  Statement of Intent  - For my adverts I intend to have the model as the main focus along with the brand name and slogan, which both have correlations to Fairtrade. With the picture I ...

American Beauty - Scene Analysis

Representation  Lester is represented as a submissive and pathetic person, this is shown through his hunched over posture and the way he always obeys to whatever his wife tells him to do. This is the complete opposite to his wife who is a very loud and tumultuous person. She is seen as the master at the table whereas it would usually be the father of the family. However, she has to be quite caring as she took a lot of time preparing a big meal for her family. Then there is Jane, who seems to be the most collected out of all the family, even though she is stereotypical confused and delusional teenager. Mise En Scene The mise en scene in this scene from American Beauty is used to express the personalities of the family. For instance, Lester is wearing very bland clothes, much like the interior of the house, which shows that his life is boring and repetitive. It could also show that he blends in with the house as if he is not there, which would make sense as he stated at th...
