Online Media Youtube Videos

-
We do not understand artificial intelligence or algorithms - we do not understand how they work or why they exist.
People take advice form the algorithm and it creates the videos.
They exist like every media product - to make money through views/clicks.
These videos are being made because they work -  they want toddlers to click on them.

How Zoella is using algorithms:

-She is using brands in the title, well known such as asos - she is using them to come up on google searches.
- Her face is in every thumbnail, to make her approachable and appealing to appeal to her target audience - this works.
- The same handwritten style cursive serif font that connotes she is laid back and cool, on every video.
- The white outline emphasises her as the vocal point - she stands out and everyone does it to get views.
- Using keywords such as 'reacting' '2018' 'Ultimate'
- Consciously stamping her name on each one, associates her name with beauty - branding and it gets views.

 Algorithm - A set of rules, restrictions and regulations
A.I - Artificial Intelligence
Machine Learning - 

 Netflix adjust the thumbnails to appeal to who you are, for example if you are black they will feature a black guy on the front.
Netflix knows your ethnicity, sexuality and social class through what you watch - and who their target audience is.

 for Netflix the audience no longer exists - it exists for data. All that remains is a hyperreal construction forged by algorithms.
Producers do not understand the intelligence that they have created
Artificial intelligence does not care nor understand ethics.

 Clickbait

 - Often present hermeneutic codes

Humans continued.

Humans continued An ensemble cast - When many different characters play roles and it is difficult to point out the protagonist, as there are over 20 character archetypes. 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...

REPRESENTATION IS A CONSTRUCTION OF REALITY Charity Adverts  - The Purpose of a charity advert is to try and make you donate/get involve with the charity. - They try to encourage members of the public to agree with their ideology and establish a cause. -They want the audience to donate to the charity. - They use distressing images and sad music as a mode of address to 'guilt trip' the audience. - They are scheduled during the day between shows such as Jeremy Kyle or Homes under the hammer.

Introduction To Representation

Introduction To Representation Stuart Hall  REPRESENTATION - To show something again, the ways in which a media product constructs the world and aspects in it.The Producer builds the product.) 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 ...
