 TV Drama Reviews:
I am going to be watching the first episodes of two TV dramas which I have never seen before. Then I am going to write a full review of each to see which one used different techniques etc more effectively, and made the drama more exciting to watch.

Gossip Girl-
From the beginning of the first episode, I was instantly interested in getting the answers to the questions I had about the drama, that had already unfolded. It was fast paced which made the drama even more shocking, but also the tension that the episode had made me want to click onto the second one. Therefore I do believe that I will continue to watch Gossip Girl as the cliffhanger ending made me want to continue watching the season, due to the drama and tension it created. I would say this series is for female teenagers as it is mainly focused around the lives of girls in high school.

Pretty Little Liars-
Pretty Little liars episode one left many things open to the viewers questions like is Allison dead, or is someone pretending to be her, which meant there was a lot of suspense. The suspense only made me want to continue watching as I wanted to know what happened to Allison and how she supposedly died. Because of the intrigue of the first episode, it makes viewers want to continue watching. I think the type of people who would watch this are people who enjoy mysteries because it is very good as a series in that respect.

Final draft of Posters

Image
Final draft I have made these posters for my final draft. The first one has my model standing on a tree trunk looking into the distance. I have edited it in a way that makes the picture brighter and less dark, but if I was making this poster again, I would make sure that when I re shoot this picture l, you are able to see the clothes such as the t shirt more clearly. I would do this as the clothes are supposed to be the centre of the poster, so I need to make them be more of the focus. I would also have it so that she is at a right angle as the picture looks slightly odd because she is tilted slightly. The logo is in a different place in both the pictures, so I need to frame them better if I retook them so that there is continuity. The second poster is of my model in an archway of trees. I like the perspective and how the path follows upwards, and I believe that if I have my model more to the left, the path would flow nicely in the picture. I again made the picture brighter ...

The male gaze in Papa Roach- ...To Be Loved

The male gaze in a music video of my choice- Papa Roach- ...To Be Loved      We can see in the music video, and the image below, that this video is aimed at a male audience as the Rock genre has generally more male listeners than female. Because of this, the video is focused on the lead singer, Jacoby Shaddix, with lots of girls, some of which wearing revealing outfits. Jacoby is used to represent a situation that men would like to relate to, so the male audience do this.  The singer Jacoby looks at the predominantly male audience as if to say, this is what you can be like if you live like me ( a rocker). The audience may look back at him with a sense of want or jealousy as that is the life they want to have. However, the female audience may be looking at the video with a sense of disgust as they know that that is a dream and not a reality, but also because the women in the video are dressed very scarcely, they may dislike the video because of ...
