Introduction To Newspaper

The 4 components of Media:


Media language
Representation
Audience
Industry

An institution is the values and ideology of a media production.

Long Road Sixth Form College

A black student has been featured to show that Long Road is a diverse place, with people from many different ethnicities and that everyone is treated the same regardless of race, gender and sexuality etc. His hairstyle doesn't follow the norm and his choice of clothing follows a stereotype that he would be chilled and laid back, of which suggests Long Road is a chilled, laid back place.

The bright range of colours on the website suggest it is a friendly, approachable and colourful place. He is wearing stereotypical 'nerd' clothing of which has connotations of being sensible and mature of which suggests Long Road is a place for 'Young Adults'.

The mise-en-scene of her clothing suggest she is original and that Long Road is a place that you can be yourself. it is to break the stereotype that you have to do a subject because of who you are. 

Long Road made this campaign and ideologies as they need as many students as possible to make money so the staff can be paid and the site can be upkept. It is also to compete against other sixth form colleges. We also need to be able to differentiate between the colleges, for identification and for ideologies you believe in.


Destruction of Logos

The 'Shell' logo colour scheme has connotations of fire of which is symbolic of combustion and passion. They are extremely bright and bold, and the attract your attention. It is like this to attract your attention when you are desperate and running out of petrol/time. It is symbolic of the petrol gauge and follows the same colour scheme so hen you see that you will be reminded to go to Shell to get your petrol. It could also have connotations of power and royalty of which suggests Shell is a good company. the yellow looks like a sunrise of which suggest optimism and that you should have a routine o9f getting up and going to Shell to get your petrol.

The Starbucks logo has American connotations as the woman has resemblance to the statue of liberty, additionally the colour scheme is similar t that of the dollar. It is similar to the story of the Mayflower, and that perhaps she was at the top of the ship from England that discovered America. The wavy lines are gentle and soothing and suggest tiredness and that you should go buy a coffee. 
   




The Daily Mirror



The Daily Mirror is a tabloid, this is made prevalent through it's use of informal language and it makes the assumption that they know what Coronation Street the soap is.

 The newspaper has made a rape pun in order to make the audience have a bad opinion on trump. They have chosen a sleazy photo in order to construct a narrative against him as a sexual predator.

 Newspapers always have a big headline and there is always more emphasis on the text than the image.

There are many story arcs in humans: - The Hawkins Family - Leo trying to find Anita - George and Odi - Flashback to Leo and Anita Travelling - Nishca in the brothel - Fred in the Plantation - The Synths in the warehouse being produced - Detective Drummond finding his wife wife a Synth - Anita kidnapping Sophie Much like Butler Van Zoonen suggests gender is constructed by a producer in a media product ad it reflects the values and ideologies of the time period it was produced in. Leo's Confrontation: Resembles a crime drama, shown through a close up of two heads in the same shot makes it look like Leo is threatening Sadiq. The mise en scene of Leo's unshaven face demonstrates that he doesn't care about his appearance - he is an outlaw. His vocal delivery is quite stern and blunt, someti...

Lindt Lindor - "Do you dream in chocolate?" 2011 The music in the background is very soothing and relaxing (harp etc) and classical which has connotations of upper class and being expensive. The chocolate comes across as luxury due to the close ups of melted chocolate - which has connotations of smoothness and purity.  The advert is very sexualised, the close up of her face when biting into the chocolate. The lighting is soft,golden and smooth. She's in bed eating chocolate by herself which could have sexual connotations. Suggests the product will replace sex - or it is better than sex. The advert shows her being very sensual with her eyes closed whilst she is enjoying the chocolate. All the shots transition smoothly into each other which give the impression that ...
