American Beauty  Representation: Carolyn (wife): The way that Carolyn is represented in this film is that she takes control in the house and she's the 'man of the house' she chooses the music as she makes the most of the effort in the house. With her choice of music this could mean that she misses the past and she wants to go back as that could mean that was when the times were better for her and her family. This could mean that she has a poor life and she's in despair. When she's at home it's as if she's acting and putting on a different persona and acting as everything is fine when it isn't. Jane(daughter): The way that Jane is represented in this film is that she isn't close with her parents, she doesn't talk to them what so ever. She is the typical teenager as she is always moody, she's ungrateful and is quick witted. Although in this Jane is more 'put together' than her parents and is more mature, for example in the scen

Codes and conventions The daily mail and the guardian are similar in many ways, but yet their layouts are completely different. The way that the newspapers are different from each other is because they're two different types of newspaper,whilst the daily mail is a tabloid and the guardian is a broadsheet. The tabloid type newspapers have very similar codes and conventions as a broadsheet newspapers e.g the masthead, date and price, main headline, visual image. The differences are that the broadsheet newspapers have two main headlines and they also have plugs at the top of the newspaper. With the first main headline it has a full story with it, an with the second main headline it only has a small news story with it. On the tabloid newspaper it only has one main headline and a small bit of the news story. 

The Guardian  The front cover of this newspaper instantly tells you that it is a political newspaper, as the main heading is 'Cameron faces fight for survival as Britain sets course for Brexit' and due to this newspaper being more for people who are in a higher class who are educated and have been to university. On the front page with this main heading it also gives you a article with it and this could indicate that there are more political type of stories inside the newspaper. The Guardian are left wing so with this it is bias in a way they would only put articles in which would make the left wing groups better so then more people would vote for parties on the left. The Daily Mail The front cover of this newspaper is 'in your face' because there is a big picture of Theresa May and the main headline is 'This lady's not for turning' and with this it appeals to people that are usually more educated and are into politics. The daily Mail i

Jason Derulo - Swalla ft Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla Sign The video 'Swalla' by Jason Derulo ft Nicki Minaj & Ty Dolla Sign is seen to be sexual as throughout the video there are multiple women that are in clothes that are very revealing and aren't seen to be a 'appropriate' piece of clothing you'd see someone wearing on the streets. A lot of the time you can see that Jason Derulo is looking down the camera lens is seen to be breaking the 'fourth wall' is reminding us that we are watching a music video. Within the first 30 seconds of the music video, there is a shot of Jason Derulo sat on the floor with a sleeping girl on him, wearing nothing but a bikini top and short shorts. As the camera pans out you can see that there are multiple girls wearing the same revealing clothes, and then as the music starts getting faster they start 'twerking' on the wet floor. About 1 minute in they are surround Jason Derulo dancing in purple shor

Teenagers spend 40 days a year looking at their mobile phones. In this article they use negative words about the teenagers, the most popular one is 'addictive' or 'addicted' and then that shortly follows with the word phone. probably the most positive word in the article is 'London came last with 37 days', this is the most positive word in the article as the rest is negative and saying how every teenager spends over 2 hours on their phone and that they're 'glued' to their phone. This article shows us what adults think about us and how much time we spend on our phones, these attitudes are not fair and they're not always true as no every teenager spends that much time on their phone and with this they are using one big stereotype that teenagers can't live without their phone and if they are without it then they have anxiety. I can tell that they've ranged this at all the teenagers instead of some of the teenagers. The pictu
