News: An Evolving Media Product

The Guardian makes its target readership clear, as the information they provide is usually unbiased which may also make their readers want to subscribe to the Guardian online and pay for the news, as they trust the newspaper to provide trustworthy information, which others which are free may not.

I believe the Guardian online is able to keep readers as well as readers of their print form, as they provide information that is well written, and also correct (usually) and most people might prefer having a physical newspaper because the age of the readers may mean that they find it hard to use the online editions.

Layout- The Daily Mail again uses categories to make finding the stories that their readers want a lot easier. This may entice readers to want to access the online version of the newspaper as there is more information available to them, a lot easier and also they can access stories from the archive. 

I believe that the readers of the Daily Mail (print and online), read it because the newspaper holds the same opinions as them, because the newspaper tends to have a biased view on many topics. This would mean that possibly that less people will buy the physical newspaper as the news is not unbiased, yet more people may read the online version as they may want to see more than one point of view for free, rather than paying for the printed copy.

 The Daily Mail has a good online site, which is easy to navigate and find the stories you want, which may mean that readers of the online version are higher than those of the printed version. Because the Daily Mail does not offer subscription, they use adverts to create a profit. 

 Overall, the main difference of printed newspapers and online editions, is that the online editions are a lot easier to navigate and usually give the reader more in depth information and analysis of the news story being covered. This may entice the reader to look at online newspapers rather than printed newspapers as they will get more information, but also many newspapers are free online. The way these newspapers still make a profit is through adverts on their websites, yet some newspapers like the Guardian online offer subscriptions in which you pay to get the news quicker.

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

Image
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 ...

Stranger Things

Genre- 1. What are the formal codes and conventions of Long-Form TV Drama?   Dramatic narrative (storyline) Multiple sub-plots  Ensemble cast (each character – own storyline) Main plot is usually resolved within the season  High production value sound/emotive Expressive lighting techniques dependent on sub genre  Scheduled Prime Time.  2. How similar or different are the formal conventions used in Stran ger Things?  Stranger Things is a Netflix show so will not be on TV in the prime slots, which means that it is regularly available for fans to watch on demand, but also may encourage more people to buy a Netflix conscription as they have heard about the popular show an want to watch it for themselves, which they are only able to do through Netflix. Also, the main plot of Stranger Things is not solved within the season and is spread across multiple seasons. 3. How does this help to develop the genre and the way in which audiences respond (po...
