The Paradise Papers


The Guardian

The Daily Mail use certain language, such as 'dragged', that places the Queen in the position of a victim. Whereas The Guardian made the Queen in a more negative light by using certain words such as 'controversial' and exploiting'

For The Guardian, this story is huge because it goes against their ideology and so they have a lot to talk about. This is why they made a series of newspapers on this story that has a yellow theme throughout. Altogether, they had four cover stories solely on this story, this reflects on their socialist view which they clearly stick to, unlike other newspapers who will adjust their ideology depending on the popularity of them at the time. 

 Unusually, The Guardian has used negative language, such as 'exploiting' and 'accused'. This is due to the story being against the left wing ideology and so they are placing the celebrities in a negative light. More often than not, The Guardian try and keep their stories more objective and less biased. But, as this story was so big for them, they were much more left wing in their opinion.

The Daily Mail also show their right wing ideology through their headline, by using the verb 'dragged' to demonstrate, in their opinion, how the Queen was clueless into what was going on.
Out of all the people they could have used for their main headline, they chose the Queen as she is a major figure in the public eye. Although their headline is about the controversial tax havens, they still used young celebrity as their main picture to try and intrigue an audience to read their newspaper. They also use both '£10M' and '£5M' to try and intrigue their target audience because their right wing ideology focuses on money. 


The Guardian: Online

 The Guardian have still stuck with their yellow theme and also to their left wing ideology by using words like 'reveals secrets' and 'hidden', still keeping the celebrities in a negative light.  

 Mail Online

 The Daily Mail's online counterpart, the Mail Online keeps the right wing ideology as they kept the Queen in the victim role. They do not keep their article objective either, they blatantly exclaim 'The Queen's done nothing wrong' and are not open to other opinions.  
The Mail Online also uses certain language like 'expose' and 'hypocritical' to exaggerate their point of view.

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 ...
