rolling stone magazine review



Related image
the rolling stone magazine is clearly presented for its target audience of rebellious teenagers by having very vibrant colours and having Johnny Knoxville as the literal centre of attention on the magazine and this is clear when seeing that he is in front of the masthead and him looking directly at the reader is clearly one of the main draw factors for people who might want to read the rolling stone. the use of font is very interesting too with the masthead and head lines being in serif form. it should also be noted that the headlines try to take up as much of the page as possible and they also have trigger words such as Breakup and Jackass so they can also draw as much attention to the reader as possible towards its cover. the general messiness and disorganised state of the cover would also appeal to its younger audience but this may not be the case with no barcode shown on the front cover which would contradict the messy nature of the magazine. the way Knoxville is portrayed by having him stuck as the centre of a target to represent that he is the target for critique for what he does while filming Jackass and his other TV shows the expression on his face would also suggest that Knoxville is enduring through the critique and pain he has had thrown at him

    WWW: You describe much of the key content of the front cover. You make an effort to use some key terminology.
    EBI: Proofread and correct SPAG errors before you publish. Consider the representation offered by the main image by using your representation analysis toolkit. Be more analyical with your interpretation of messages and connotations constructed for the audience.

Icarus review

while watching this documentary on Netflix, I found myself immersed in the world of how crooked the tests for PED's was, and how Russia was cheating its own system. the whole documentary is with Bryan Fogel who sets out to prove that anti doping tests in sports are badly run and can be bypassed To do this he enlists the help of Grigory   Rodchenkov. The man who created the tests himself. Grigory creates a plan of steroids which imitates what Lance Armstrong did to win his tour de france wins. the plan proves sucessful until the russian conspiracy is uncovered and the anti doping lab Grigory works at is put into lockdown. the film then follows the events that follows with russia's suspension and the case against russia. I personally love how the documentry keeps making refrences to George Orwell's 1984 and how people are forced into compliance. I also really like the way that some of grigory's monolouges are completed using animation and certain images are of ...

villain representation analysis for the joker

Image
when looking at the character of Heath Ledgers joker, I re-watched this scene and was completely taken back by how the producers had managed to capture the pure insanity that came with casting a new actor to play the joker, Ledger had previously locked himself in a room for extended periods of time with no hardly any access to food or water so he slowly drove himself mad and make his performance the most genuinely believable joker for the target audience of the film that was around 16 - 20 year old's with a good interest in action and superhero films. It should also be noted how Christopher Nolan made the jokers costume and make up very messy and untidy to give the joker a code of being much more wild and unpredictable.

This is America analysis.

https://youtu.be/VYOjWnS4cMY In his song, this is America, Childish Gambino uses lots of codes and refrences which can be connotated to how awful the treatment of the black comunity has been in the past. The music video starts by having bright and positive music with a man playing a guitar who looks not dissimilar to treyvan martin's father who fought for his justice when he was murdered by the police for being black. A theme that will very much be touched upon in the rest of the video. The camera then slowly pans to a close shot of Gambino who starts happily dancing to the music until he passes the man with a guitar, Pulls out a gun and strikes a pose commonly associated with Jim crow who was a cartoon that was anti black and shown in the racist show the black and white mistrel show as entertaiment for white people in the early 30s. Childish Gambino then casually shoots him and then the music suddenly turns much lower and darker as Gambino hands the gun to someone presentin...
