WWW

1)            The storyboard shows an excellent range of camera shots and you have written what you have included in each one although you could add more about how this makes your audience feel eg I have used a close up of the face of the victim because we needed to show how the victims is feeling about getting bullied.

 

EBI

1)            Proof read your work on your blog as there are a lot of spelling errors (eg Representation and Audience – these words are in my original blog tasks so please COPY words correctly). A tip – I would complete all your work on a WORD document first so that you can spell check it. Then copy and paste into a blog. OR proof read it to make sure that it all makes sense as poor grammar and spelling will make it hard to understand.

2)            Please revisit denotation and connotation (eg in your camera work storyboard). You say the denotation is that you have chosen a certain shot but you don’t say WHY and what the EFFECT is. Connotation is the SUGGESTIONS made by the denotation (what you see) so for instance you could say that the connotations of the over the shoulder shot is that you can see the teacher comforting the bullied student but the camera is focused on his reaction so the audience sympathise with the victim.

3)            When you are thinking about target audience, please be more specific and justify your ideas eg don’t say Attack the Block is aimed ‘probably at teenagers’ but think about HOW you know this and also the psychographic of these teenagers (what are they into? Hobbies and interests?)

edit task

 Its is a fast pace editing they did this because it is a adventure/ thriller and it has a lot of action within the trailer.

this is a birds eye view they have done this to show the views how mental he really is because he is surrounded by props like guns and baby clothes. the guns has connotation of killing and death whereas baby clothes have connotation of play and innocent  and the two props  don't work well 

together.

within the start of the trailer there is baby or circus like music to show hes a clown and when u think of a clown the first thing that comes to your mind is playful and also crazy and the joker is playing like a clown rule. 

This is an over the shoulder /medium-long shot.
 They use this to show the main characters reaction whilst the guy is comparing the photo  of the newpaper to him.

this is an establishing shot because you can see a lot of background and to show hes small compared to his suranding because his getting chased and victomised
 
 

they used a close up to show his exsprtion of the character of the person ge5tting chaes

 

 

 

this is a medium shot to show how many people are surrounding him and to shw hes trapped and theres no way out

1. -A bold, snappy title reflecting the ethos of your magazine in the top third. What is your title?  What does it connote (suggest) to audience? What is your magazine ABOUT? inspire 
2. -Rule of thirds- how will you use this? I will put the title  in the top third and the main image in the middle and then finally ill put the main flash next to the image.
3. -A tag line linking to your title - what is this and how will it link to your title? Next big thing.
4. -A strong central image using a medium close up / close up / medium shot (no bigger than this and no more than two people; strongest covers use one) What is this image going to show? A boy holding a ball looking dominant in his kit 
5. -A colour scheme of three main colours which signify certain connotations you want your target audience to take away with them it will be blue wight and black 
6. -The letter 'i' and the word 'free' as this is a supplement with the 'i' newspaper- where is this going to be included? (eg will you incorporate it into your title?) i will use it in my title 
7. -A main cover line that is related to the central image and is dominant and placed where the eye goes after the title. small boy big aspiration
8. -Three or four 'flashes' or secondary cover lines telling the reader in short phrases (without connectives) what will be in the magazine. There should be a theme running through these stories that works with your overall ethos. win hypavenoms new shoes, interview with messi , tips to be thw best  
9. -Perhaps a competition I am the one 
10. -Perhaps a strap line at the top and / or bottom of the cover to make it look stylish and clean.road to success

Please copy and paste the above and write a short paragraph under each one explaining what you plan to do to match this convention and why you have made those choices. Extra achievement points for using media language (eg the connotation of pink is... OR This will appeal to my target demographic because...)

Please add a paragraph at the end answering these two questions:
a) Who is going to be in your picture and what camera angle / lighting will you use? Who will take the photos?
b) What costume and props and make up will you need to remember to bring in?

We will be doing our photo shoot with professional lighting after half term so you need to have planned to succeed so you can make the most of this opportunity.

Thank you and have a fabulous half term!
Thanks for all your hard work in Media this half term - keep it up and we will match the success of some of the phenomenal work we have seen from previous students on the blogs and in the recent Media Awards 2016.

3) What grade are you realistically hoping to achieve in medic\B

4) What was the last TV programme or film you watched? Family guy

5) Why do you think that TV programme or film appealed to an audience? Because its funny and that gets the audience more involved  ,the special effects , includes family and also leaves you on cliff hanger so the audience keeps coming back for more and finding out what happens next. 

6) What technology have you used to access the media in the last 24 hours? (Radio, TV, phone etc.)An computer, phone, ps4 and Xbox1.

7) What device do you use most to access the media? Ps4 or my iPhone

10) I think the audience will like this program because it's mystery and people will get more invoked and think ahead of the program and keep watching it to find out what's next, because  it gets u thinking  and also because it's interesting because it's natural life dilemmas and it's interesting  to find out how they take care of the problem.
