Analysing 2 different mast heads

The Kerrang music magazine can be instantly recognised as being a magazine specifically for rock, metal and indy music. It is recognisable because of the sharp edges on all of the letters and because of the cracked apperance of the title of the magazine. The coloring of the magazine also has a major part to play in recognising its genre. Bright colors would suggest pop where as black and white is more rock and metal.

Vibe magazine can instantly be recognised by its curvy bold colourful writing which suggests R&B and pop. A totally different contrast from the dull, sharp and cracked mast head from Kerrang.

How are women represented in 50 cent candyshop?

How women are represented in Candy shop 50 cent.

Women are represented as an item “candy” and are made out to be inferior to men at the start. The film starts by being degrading to women for example the way in which they dress and are forced to do stuff. But then later on we get a different view of women which is that they actually want to be treated like this and that its normal.

All the women in the movie are shown as the “model” woman which have no imperfections, which in real life is not a true perception of women.

The genre of music that the song falls into has a convention of these sort of style of clips within it. Where men are represented as a type of “pimp” and can get any woman they want.

The way in which the women are dressed and how they talk shows that they are portrayed as being eye candy.

Women are also being portrayed as being “gold diggers” as the lyrics “ I’ll have you spending all you got” suggests that all the women are after is money, this is also show as the male has a flash car and a big mansion.

The main thing about women in the film is that they are portrayed as being slim, big boobed with clear skin and perfect features,

How does the journalist use written language to appeal to the target audience?

How does the journalist use written language to appeal to the target audience?

Both DPS for uncut have very simplistic wording so that they can reach a wide audience however there is some terminology that would be lost in other magazines but at the same time suggest its aimed at an older target audience, for example, “notable absentee” and they have used the words disciples rather than the more common groupies or fans.

The words appeal to the target audience because they are given a view in the magazine rather than being a balanced article. This means there is an established audience that would read this magazine which are likely to have the same views.

Four reasons for media

Four reasons for why we need media and my personal examples.

Entertainment and diversion -  For me Entertainment from media is watching family guy, I find this entertaining and a realese from everyday life and the problems encontered in everyday life.

Surveillance and infromation - This comes in the form of The EDP news paper I use it to gain information on local news and as a source of knowledge.

Personal relationships - When watching Harry Potter films I feel like I make personal relationships with some of the characters and can find companionship within them.

Personal identity - Listening to Nickelback reinforces some of my values and beliefs.
