music genre



The Music video from Shawn Mendez (Treat You Better) is a pop genre music video.  We can tell this just from the beat of the song and the flow it has. For the beat is very light hearted on the other hand a rap song is very aggressive. Also pop music videos are based on that artist.     







Luther's plot structure starts from action which then creates tension right at the start of the series. This then makes the audience think that the series is a action based series. Also the clothes the main characters is wearing can also show the genre of the series as well. he is wearing a suit and he is also with a lady wearing a smart jacket and they go asking questions to peoples in their own home, which shows it can be a Crime based genre as well. Also the action at the start of the series happens out of know where which then creates tension and grips the audience even more to the make them watch it even more . Luther’s character is the protagonist he is a black english police investigator that the audience is supposed to find out with him, the character himself is made so the audience feels sorry for him as we find out through a long shot that he is in a mental home and that he is not stable. Within his character alone the audience experiences binary opposition, as at work he uses unorthodox methods and he is represented as tough and very aggressive, although around his wife is presented as emotional and very calm. This emotional side of the character Luther is often portrayed through close ups of his face in times of family crisis, it also suggest another binary opposite such as power and weakness that is battling inside him

Horror Evaluation

Evaluation

The genre of our film is a horror. We chose to do horror movie because the member in my group including me like horror movies and we all thought it would be fun to create one. Another reason in why we chose a horror is because the fact of being interested of how horror movie is created. We created our horror movie based on three different horror movies that the members in the group enjoy the most. For example The Ring. This is the film we got the idea of a noise being created before you die. The reason we put this in our film is because we thought it was very creative and includes a lot of mystery. The target audience for our film were teenagers as the film is based on teenagers. This then makes it easier for the audience to then relate to the characters in the film, and put themselves in the characters shoes with understanding of what is going on.

chairty advert








In the second of the day charity advert it shows a second of every day for a whole year and how much this one girl life has changed through out the year and what she has been going through. With the setting being at her home and school for then being on the run for a terrorist group that is trying to hurt them. In charity ads most of them play heart breaking music that makes us give sympathy of the person or people that get shown in that ad. For example cancer research always play heart-breaking music, which then gives sympathy emotion to the viewers who are watching this program, and then this is what get viewers to pay and help that charity. However in this ad we see her for everyday as a close up so we get attached to this young white girl very easily and when we see her lose everything this is they way the charity makes us feel sympathy. Also to see her birthday cake at the beginning and it was really big and how the candles were really bright shows that she has everything and she is a happy young girl. However when we see her at the end it shows like she has lost everything and the candle is very low which emphasises she has lost everything.

Straight Outta Compton




This is a film that is called Straight Outta Compton. This film is based on a group of Black people that want to introduce rap to the work however the authorities do not want this and try to arrest them and find any dirt they have on them so they cannot do Rap.The Age it is aimed at would be teens or young Black Adults as that is what the film is based on and the kind of people it is based on as well. The gender it is aimed is primarily Male but can see as women as well as the police just arrest black people because they think they are in a Gang because of the way they look. So women can also be aimed at because of the way that they dress however most of the filmed is at black male.  Straight Outta Compton is a Mainstream film. It is produced by universal and the filmed is made by Felix Gary Grey. The film is based in L.A which is a stereotypical location for Black people as there is a lot of poor areas in LA and people who live in poor conditions. This is stereotypical as you wouldn't think about a black person being in a fancy house because we think of black people always doing drugs and smoking and not being wealthy. It also gives black people a good amount of hope as in the film these were the conditions they were living in and they were at the bottom of ladder but the film shows that they can move to the top of the ladder. The role of these stars are to give black people hope in the world and that we can all overcome anything and anyone if we put our mind to it and that we are dedicated to that goal or mission that we have set for ourselves.  The clothing that is used is stereotypically for black people. They wear black puffer jackets with gold chains and just general bling.  You do not see this type of figure on a white person for example or a Asian person.

The Camera angles that are used in this film are mostly mid shots and close ups. This is a good selection of camera angles for this film as it shows the facial expressions of the actors and it shows that they are going through such a hard time which then grips the audience that are watching the trailer. There is also dramatic music that gets played when the trailer is nearly at the end which builds up tension and gives us the idea that there might be some sort of action in this film, it is also teased when one of the stars pulls out a machine gun out of a bag and when the actor cocks the pistol back to get it ready to use. The Lighting of the trailer is either Black or grey which shows that the starts are in a dark time and gives the viewers of a dark atmosphere which builds up tension for the viewers.

Industry
The Assassin Creed games are owned by a company called Ubisoft. This company creates many games from Assassin Creed  to Ghost Recon Wild Lands.

The Context of the game is to protect these secrete artefact's that have the power of world Domination.  The Templar's want to use it for there own will and take over the world and kill all Assassins. However The Assassins want to keep these artefact's safe and keep them hidden away from the Templar's and to protect the world. Assassin Creed Liberation is based in 1765 to 1777.

Assassin Creed franchise is one of the most popular franchise in the world and when there is new releases it is always at the top of the market chain as it is so popular. The game is aimed at 18 year old as that is what it says on the case of the game.  The reviews of the game were good however was not the best out of the Assassin Creed Franchise. The reason for this is the fact it was released at first on the PS Vita. the memory within the Vita was not enough as some people could not explore the full potential of the game. Later on the game had finally been released on the PS3 and X BOX 360. This was a major hit and fans of the Sony products were uninterested in the Vita.
Social and Cultural Context
Within the Assassin Creed Game pleased the fans as in the game you meet another famous Assassin  in the Assassin Creed Franchise. This made the fans happy and pleased with the game. However one thing they did not like was the Multiplayer function in the game as it was like playing a game on a phone. it wasn't really interactive as people thought it would have been. This was disappointing function in the game as they wanted more from it. For example fans wanted to still explore the world in the multiplayer function but however the only difference would have been with different players and to be able to interact with them.

Negative sterotype




Muslims and Islam are always presented as bad people in the media. In newspapers names like Maniac or terrorists describe what Muslims are and what they do. Also the Hypodermic Needle theory makes us think that are really bad people. Also words are used such as Horror and terror are used to describe them as well. These strong words inject in our mind they Muslims are evil and all they want to do is kill and take the things away from us. When there is a massive attack on the UK the first people to blame is always Muslims. The first picture that is above the newspaper describe what Muslims are. For example Taliban is what they're called and how some people describe them. Also on his face is 9/11. This just tells us that Muslims bring destruction and evil to the things we love. In the Daily Mirror the Muslim that they are talking about in the picture describes them as a maniac because he killed 50 people. The word maniac makers us think that they are all maniacs and not good people. The Sun is a very biased newspaper and sometimes it sends out very biased articles which then make people to believe. In a way they re converting other people to their ideas and to join them of what they think so then people can then turn on Muslims and everyone can not like them

This article about 9/11 makes us hate Muslims. The reason for this is the fact that Muslims destroyed what we loved which is the "Twin Towers". The article that they named the Newspaper is Terror Hits Home. This describes what Muslims bring to us and all they bring is fear to our hearts. We believe this because in the Newspaper they make us think that is what they do and that is what they are all about.
