Album Cover
The narrative is presented to be urban, the uses if him smoking a cigarette on the street yet his posture his displayed to be so relaxed and comfortable portrays he is used to the street life implying the hip hop and urban culture he displays. Also he is presented to be not a caring type but to be so calm and casual when being in a frightening environment connotes that he lives for the streets. The uses of his hoodie and cigarette almost displays the iconography of the urban and hip hop genre as that is mostly how they are stereotypically seen to be. Also the title is integrated into the setting connoting it is integral al ILL and we expect the songs to be about this.
Film Poster
The narrative is presented to be about the struggle of the estate life from the quotation ' we are all products of our environment..some are just harder to survive in' this portrays to the audience that the life of estate is a struggle to survive in and connotes to the audience how broken Britain is really becoming. The use of the character having a gun in his hand portrays the iconography of violence and action due to a gun being such a powerful weapon and would lead to events such as murder or robbery. The use of dark clouds shadowing over the state connotes the amount of violence and terror the state brings and also shows people that they know they are going to a dangerous place if they was to enter. The genre is presented to be an action/thriller as the uses of guns and dark clouds portrays to the audience the amount of terror and violence will be brought into the film.

Institutions
BBC Three is a television network from the BBC broadcasting via digital cable, terrestrial, ITV and satellite platforms. The channels target audience includes those in 16-34 year old age group, and has the purpose of providing innovative content to younger audiences, by focusing on new talent and new technologies. The channel is on-air from 19:00 to around 05:00 each night.BBC Three was launched by Stuart Murphy, who previously ran BBC Choice.Targeting an audience of 16-34 year olds, BBC three has to compete with there rivals in order such as ITV2 and E4, for an audience that the BBC has traditionally had difficulty in attracting. On average nine million people watch BBC Three every week.
BBC Three's programming consists of comedy, drama, spin-off series, which would attract many audiences as they may have missed out a show and want to catch up upon it later during the day and other programmes that attempt to alert others of their actions through a series of programmes challenging common beliefs.
Pre-watershed shows are held before 9pm, which are shows which have no swearing, nudity and this would be beneficial for the young viewers. However, these shows change everyday, there isn't a fixed timing for some of these shows as on some days snog marry or avoid is shown at 21.00, which shows there is no fixed timing, suggesting audiences won't be aware of what time to expect a programme to be on, however this could also be a positive outcome as young audiences flick through the channels and don't usually stick to one, also having films shown on some days would attract them even more, especially on the weekend as that is when they want to relax.
BBC three has many different shows at different timings, there are suitable shows that we could look at for our teen drama, which are pre-watershed as we could get information and new techniques which may help us with our drama, also the target audience for bbc three ranges from 16-34 years, but we need to aim ours at young teenagers, so we could research more about the young teenager shows in order to help us
My Objective For This Week..
Narrative of the story and basics
My group's idea is about a 16 year old teenager called Mathew AKA looney, who lives in an estate with his mum,who acts different with his family and different in front of his friends. The opening scene is of him getting ready to go to school. He goes to a private school, whilst he is getting ready, he is listening to rap/hip hop music. He hears his mum walking up the stairs, so he quickly changes it to the news. His mum walks in and tells him to hurry up and get downstairs. She walks back downstairs and he switches the TV off and grabs his bag and goes downstairs. He has his breakfast and then says to his mum that he is leaving. He walks out the door, and as soon as he slams the door behind him, hip hop music starts (non-diegetic). The music starts and he walks around the corner of his estate, and opens a box, and finds his clothes. He gets changed into a black tracksuit, and his image completely changes. He starts bopping towards his bike, and gets on it and rides off. He then goes to meet his friends Jemz and Scrapz. His friends are the stereotypical hood boys, they are wearing track suits, hats, smoking. They start a conversation and his friends give him a bag and he goes to make a deal with one of their clients, and then a police car rolls up next to them. His friends then push him of his bike, and run off. The police grab Mathew and floor him and check the bag. They put hand cuffs around his wrists and tell him he is under arrest.
We are going to be filming in an estate called SmithFarm. We are using this estate, so it enforces the stereotypical views and it will go well with the genre of our work. We will be filming at this location throughout the entire scenes.

Video Analysis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Inn4y2XHf6w
The video we had filmed and edited had a range of different edits and lighting to make the concept as high quality as possible. for instance, i used the 180 rule when the characters were in conversation, the reason being is that i wanted to show the full aspect of the scene and environment when the characters spoke so the audience could feel the suspense in tension in the scene but also shots as the 'over head shoulder' and straight line added a bit more depth in the quality to make the scene look more efficient and accurate.
Another good point, is that the use of POV in the corridor was a very good effect to make the audience feel engaged in the scene but also make them feel as if they are in it due the uses of first person makes them see from the characters perspective and see how it is in their footsteps which creates a huge tension in the scene to make it better.
Adding on from this point, the use of low key lighting on the other character when turning around to introduce himself, creates a atmosphere of tension and suspense as the the use of the low key lighting creating a shadow on his face makes the audience more eager and excited to see who the character is making the audience more involved and excited about the scene.

Response For Test EBI
The use of the director breaking the '180 rule'put a big effect and suspense on the environment as the use of cutting the 180 rule connoted to the audience that the director wanted to show all the senses of environment in different ways possible to show the amount of tension being built up in the scene to make the tense that the director was making the audience automatically feel and gain. Secondly the use of panning on the main governor in the scene brought the audience to feel the tension of the governor and how that moment felt with him as the use of the panning all on him connotes to the audience he plays important part but also shows the emotion and suspense he feels when being apart of this scene.

Fish Tank Review
The film Fish Tank is a British movie directed and written by the author of the book 'Fish Tank' Andrea Arnold. It is based on a 15 year old girl called Mia who have a very big fond for dancing and become a professional, but has a down side as she has no motivation to become what she wants to be.Mia gets hurt by motly every character in the movie but ends up loving the boy she lost her virginity too.
Katie Jarvis (Mia) and Michael Fassbender (Connor). Mia is a very badminded child getting kicked out of school and living in a ruff estate,she has no friends, and has no positive relationship with mother in any way. She takes her stress away by going to a abonded apartment where she practises her dancing. you also see that she is a good dancer throughout the movie.
as you can see that she has been kicked out of school but she meets her mums new boyfriend 'Connor' he becomes a father like figure to her and he supports her throughout the movie,however this soon becomes to a stand still as soon as Mia and Connor kiss, he then leaves Mia's mother to go back to his real family, when Mia finds out she is angry and kidnaps hisyoung daughter.. She tries to win a dancing competition but finds out the tcompetition are for strippers not street dancers. she then decides to leave the competition as it is not suitable to her needs, where later she starts getting her life back on track and the film finishes her. she then decides to herself that where she lives is not right for her and decides to get back with her ex boyfriend and move to wales where she hopes to start a fresh brand new life and gain the happiness she wants to succeed in life and not turn out like her mother.
The soundtrack of this movie is very weird but basic due to the use of dancing and brings out all the aspects of it; a lot of contrapuntal music being played, its very effective as it shows how different the music is due to the scene kind of contrasting with how Mia is different with her family.
I think the movie is more aimed at young kids aiming to become something and not laying back as it gives them the oppurtunity to show how life is a struggle and you need to be determined and hardworking if you want to get to the top. In my opinion, i think the film would be an 7/10 but its a good movie to motivate people to be more determined and life as oppurtunities come once in a life time and you got to work for it as many people are very unlucky to get a chance

Media Award 'PaperMan' Analysis
I think overall the Paperman trailer was used in a very unique way from the uses of low-key lighting, non and diegetic sounds, iconography of horror, mise en scene of horror and other uses of elements of media terminology make this trailer to be at a very high standard and make it win best media production of the media wards 2012.
Firstly, the uses of lighting was used to a good effect to make the audience almost feel as if their being introduced to a horror film. the key elements of low-key lighting upon the murderer and characters face built suspense as the audience wanted to know who they were but also be curious to find out about it. this also connoted to the audience that this was in fact a horror film as they love to make the film dark and spoky so that it can build up the tension of the audience.
Secondly, the uses of non diegetic and diegetic sounds were used to a very high standard as it portrayed the suspense but also connoted to the audience that this film was indeed a horror. from the uses of non diegetic sounds being used from the loud opera music to build the suspense towards the scene but also the uses of lighting to make it feel like everything was just too dangerous to handle. also the uses of diegetic sounds of the damsel in distress screaming making the audience be frightened of the danger that is about to come but also the explosions and slashing to the knife to make the audience almost as feel as if their there and gain that suspense needed to frighten the audience.
Thirdly, the uses of iconography for horror were used in the scenes to portray to the audience that was in fact watching a horror film due to the signs being used to show them that their being introduced to a horror. for instance the use of a knife with blood and massacre portrayed to us that it was indeed a horror as thats one of its most recognizable uses when coming to a horror film which portrayed to us that this film was indeed a horror film.
Also the mise en scene was used to a very high standard as the audience gained a sense that indeed this film was horror from the uses of a haunted house, a broke down factory, props such as a mask and a knife but also the uses of horror in the mise en scene to bring that typical use of horror and style to frighten the audience but also bring that huge suspense

Analysis Of 2 Short Clips
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X7W-oPhY48-Clash Of The Titans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_z4IuxAqpE-Scarface
The uses of both films both using non diegetic and diegetic helps contrast the scene even more and build suspense and tension for the audience to make the scene much more exciting and entertaining for the audience. For instance, the use of the diegetic sounds of madusa in clash of the titans built up a lot of suspense and tension for the audience, like the uses of hearing the hissing and attacks of medusa to the heavy breathing of the man trying to kill her built huge suspense and tension as the audience were very encouraged to think if he was going to kill medusa or she was going to turn him into stone.
However, non diegetic was much more of a bigger advantage in scarface as the use of the opera music built a load of attention on Tony as the use of high and low instruments were used to emphasize how big the scene of his death was but the environment itself in a whole brought tension from the diegetic sounds of the explosions, gun shots but also the dramatic words being said to show how powerful and dramatic the uses of sound effect the scene.
Adding on from this point the lighting had a key figure in clash of the titans as it had a lot of low key lighting used as they wanted portray the dark and bitter environment they are in as there could possibly be so much death to come. However, when being scarface it was quite high key lighting this was effective as they was focusing on Tony and putting the spotlight on him to connote such a great death by a real gangster and show he was a warrior and powerful man even though he gets murdered.

Analyse 4 Images From A Film
The 4 images I have chosen from the film 'The Amazing Spiderman' I will be describing its main key aspects of the media terminologies and strategies used to make their shots very unique and uses the media terms to make their shots unique and up to a high quality standard. Firstly, the uses of camera framing and movements from all 4 shots are used in entirely different ways connoting how powerful and unique the shots are as they all differentiate with each other.
For instance, the uses of using shots such as the long shot and medium shot in they 4 images is maybe to express the amount of power and detail that goes into spiderman due to the fact they have to show his whole body posture but also his surroundings which could possibly connote his power and physical stance in the world as he is presented to be very strong and ferocious. also the expressions and actions being used in the images present to us he is a superhero or out of this world figure due to him taking out a ginormous robot but also his stance when being presented looking a bit lean and sophisticated implies to the audience the amount of power and velocity he owns however, the first image presents him more to be an outcast and could maybe differentiate how much power he has that others can not be in the same position as him but in fact he might be all alone deep down no matter how much power he contains.
They also use a lot of high key lighting to bring out how amazing spiderman is but also connote to the audience how special and powerful he is. They do this by putting a lot of light on him when in action but also show that he is the main focus by all means as the spotlight is always proposed to be on him whenever being seen.
The uses of colors are also a key factor as they use many which shows the film is very open minded and can bring out any key mood that a family film has to offer. from the uses of red and blue may connote that spiderman is an american superhero due to the fact he represents the colors of the united states flag but also open up your mind to more of a judging as red may connote fear and evil but blue could connote mystery and struggle. They also use some dark bits which could possibly emphasize his projection of feeling like an outcast and would show his true colors.

Analysis Of Image And Trailer
Friday The 13th
was produced by two film companies. Paramount Pictures, who
Produced the 8 nominated academy award winning films Indiana
Jones: Raiders of the Lost Ark with Harrison Ford. It was also produced, New
Line Cinema, who produced one of Hollywood
The film poster of Friday
The 13th the text is in white but also red which is an iconography
of horror as red connotes blood and death and also connotes that this is a
horror. Secondly in the middle of the poster there is a very large figure
(Jason Voorhees) he has a huge knife in his hand and wears a mask which is
iconography of horror as it connotes death and mystery. Also there is a mist in
the background which could possibly connote that there is a mystery or twist in
this film.
What is very shocking is that they have not included any names of the actors;
this is possibly the film already has a huge franchise, fallary via the pereves
film .The tagline “Welcome To Crystal Lake” tells the audience that the story is
placed in “Crystal Lake”. USP is the use of telling the audience that they are
“producers of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre”, as it makes other audiences that
watched Chainsaw Massacre want to go and watch this film. The poster is aimed
at male and women aged 18-45 as it is a horror and is most stereotypical ages
used to watch a horror. Also is an iconography of horror is used effectively a
dark forest and possibly connotes that it is a horror and gives clues to the
audience of the films narrative and gives a little of what to expect.
The poster, doesn’t tells the audience what the narrative is, any clues
just giving us the location and the main character. However I predict the
actors will be A-list celebrities as from past movies from the label most of the
actors were A-list known.
As a result the film poster is amateur compared to other 
In the film trailer of Friday The 13th a lot of more plot and
detail are revealed. The trailer starts with a non-diegetic voiceover and last
towards the end. The non-diegetic voice over gives information about the plot
and the main character (Jason Voorhees). Also the voice over describes that
“today is his birthday” and tells the audience the reason why it is called
Friday The 13th as it is (Jason Voorees) “birthday”.
In the terms of mise-en-scene, the trailer effect deploy a whole load of
it, for e.g., dark forest, knifes and huts. The use of diegetic-sounds connote
that the film is a horror as they use screaming, slashes of knifes and howling
of wolves. These me all very common in the horror genre,confiriming Steve Nash theory of genre reputation and
difference.
During the trailer you see a lot of mid shots and close ups as they
intensify the characters emotions and what state they are. This technique makes
the audience engage to the trailer, and feel as if they are there, once again
very common in horror films. This trailer is aimed at 15- 45, as it is a more
of a modern horror.
I believe that this film is related to the psychographics of aspirers as
this a new and upgraded version of this franchise with new flashy and expensive
effects which would imply to an aspire aspect. Also I believe that the
demographics are presented to a C1 audience as it would cost a average £5-£10
to watch it which is a average price.
In conclusion I think the film trailer is much more effective compared to
the poster, although they both convey the horror and drama. I feel the trailer
is much more effective as most of the actual events from the film are used,
therefore the audience will be very scared and make them want to go and watch them.

RollingStone Advert
Masthead
The masthead
of the magazine ‘Rollingstone’ is partially blocked by the central image which
portrays how powerful and known the magazine is as they do not show the whole
title of the magazine and the audience recognise the magazine.
Image
The central
image is of the famous hip-hop artist ‘Lil Wayne’. He is presented to be facing
straight at the camera with a gesture of his hands on his belt buckle. Firstly,
the amount of tattoos presented on his body could maybe portray to the audience
that he is very dangerous as most stereotypical people would argue to say most
criminals have a whole load of tattoos. Also the way that he is gestured could
also connote the amount of power and danger he brings as he is posing very
confident towards the camera. Which is very stereotypical about this picture is
the use of his trousers being very low that you can even see his boxers which
could imply to a stereotypical person that he is a thug or criminal as most
thugs are portrayed in this way. Lastly, the use of platinum diamonds on his
wrist connotes to the audience that he is very rich as he can afford such high
price accessories.
Design
The design
of the magazine is very basic and ordinary with the uses of putting sidelines
on the side and the central image in the middle and a big bold title. However,
what I pointed out before is the use of not showing all of their title which
connotes how powerful and known they are as they don’t have to include their
whole name in their title. Also the use of making their sidelines in big bold
letters to grab the audience attention to look at what they are advertising is
a very clever and effective idea, also the use of using the same colours red
and black.
Sell Lines
There use of
sell lines are very simple but clever at the same time as they make it big and
bold so they make sure the audience don’t miss out on anything that they have
produced on the front cover. Also the likes of famous artist’s as ‘Jimmy
Carter’ and ‘Steven Tyler’ implies how powerful their magazine is as they even
have more known and dangerous music artists then Lil Wayne and that goes to
show that they are a very strong brand.
Audience
The audience
is obviously attracted to music fans as it has all the mise en scene and
iconography for a music genre. The uses of Lil Wayne to the other music artist
Jimmy Carter portrays to the audience that this is directly targeted to a music
audience. Also the title ‘Rolling stones’ connotes a rock band or somewhere in
the music genre.
Representation
‘Rollingstones’
is represented to be a very strong brand towards magazines in the music genre
or even in a whole of all the genres in the media world. The unique way of
covering up there masthead and still be recognised connotes to us how known and
powerful this magazine is. Also, the amount of powerful celebrities they have
on their magazine implies how recommended there magazine is as they have
powerful people on it. Also which emphasizes how strong their magazine is that
it is so basic yet so powerful and unique for consumers to recommend it.

Kidulthood First 5 Minutes Into Film
The first five minutes of watching the famous film 'Kidulthood' i had very different opinions going threw my mind when watching the way they portrayed the young generation in the UK, the use of kids doing drugs in the playground to the disgusting violence towards one another and the fowl language being used by one another. They were connoted to be such a threat and danger towards the whole society and possibly brings an thought to the readers a very negative side to teenagers. i strongly believe that they are really portrayed in a wrong way though, as most teenagers do not act how they are represented in the film which is very unfair for teenagers as they can not have the power to prove audiences that they are not seen as what they are portrayed in 'Kidulthood'
The Amazing Spider-Man Film Poster Analysis
The poster is divided into many bright colors and also a very different unique shot which brings out the power and agility of spiderman. For instance the type of colors used, the blue on spiderman most probably connotes depression or coldness which creates a quite curious and cold atmosphere for the audience, this probably aplies the film might be quite a very dark and physical atmosphere. Also the red possibly connotes a bit of power and and evilness which mixes into the blue which could possibly connote his powers are so incredible that he can choose whether he wants to be the good person or the bad.
The use of 'New York City' being at the bottom of spiderman portrays that he must probably have so much power that he owns the city as being on top of it shows the ultimate power he has in his hands. And also from putting him in such a high place of the city shows that he must really be at the top of the border when be recognised in the area and city. also the use of him hanging dennotates to the audience one of the uses from his powers as he can hang on walls which connotes the amount of power he obtains and owns in his ability to do extrodianary things.

The reason i have picked media a levels for my 6th form career is because i take a very huge interest in media and i really feel its going to be apart of my life as i am really committed to get the top grades that i can to study it at university. i also have my own media channel with my own crew and own camera's and would like to say i think were heading in a positive direction due to our success on youtube already and learning a lot more wisdom and knowledge from a-level media will help us grow more into a professional roll and learn how to be a very great success. also learning about the key concepts and terminology will give me a better understanding for how everything works but also gain experience so i know how it feels to have a lot of pressure on you and still hit your objectives that you have been set. i surely know i'm going to give it my all and put all my determination in this. i will get the best grade's!
