Social and participatory media

-

1. Look at the Twitter feed for both The Guardian and The Daily Mail. Make a note of their follower numbers. Which is more popular and why do you think that might be?

The guardian have 6.9 million twitter followers and the daily mail have 2.14 million, the guardian are more popular because their stories are more political and people are more interested in politics and what is happening in politics at this moment in time. 

 2. Make a note of any branding used on the twitter feed, including any slogans.

The branding they used it for their new app they have brought out for google cardboard and they have got a 30 second video along with it to help sell the item. In the guardians bio they have the 'slogan' 'the need for independent journalism has never been greater' and that 'slogan' will be the first thing people will see when they go onto the guardians twitter. 
On the daily mails twitter feed they don't use any branding, they only really promote their online website, but the only type of slogan they use is in their bio and it says '#seriouslypopular'. 

3. List the news items that are included on their feed and categorise them into news stories: economic, political, crime, international, environmental, celebrity and feature stories.

Mail online teenagers

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...

American Beauty - scene analysis

-
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...

Statement of intent

How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words) The artist that I am creating is going to be a duo, their name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce and it’s going to stand out. The logo for the artist is going to look clean and modern, as this then represents the artist and also the type of music they listen too. The logo is going to have the same colours as the rest of the website so then they all match and makes it look simple yet modern. The duo is in their teens so they can relate to the younger audience, the music video is also going to have a young look to it, but also still make it mature for the younger people. My artists’ logo and name is going to represent the type of music they’re going to produce, so the logo is going to include bright colours to help it stand out from the rest of the other artists logos. In the music vide...
