    A decent start on this case study and this is certainly an interesting video to choose. You could have analysed editing in more depth. You say nothing is represented, but the artists are represented, as are the issues surrounding their loss. Also genre is strongly represented through mise en scene. I would have liked to see you attempt to apply post-modernism, and add some stills to illustrate. V

Old Spice Bahamas Ad Analysis

How are viewpoints and ideologies communicated? Draw on a range of examples to illustrate your analysis: Old Spice is an American brand of male grooming products such as deodorants, shampoos, body washes, soaps etc. Initially, first targeted to women with men's products being released only before Christmas at the end of the year. However, over time as the men's products found more success it began to focus exclusively on those.

Copy cat versions usually have ''better'' graphics and some other modifiactions, which usually would mean a good thing. However minecraft's charm is in its simplistic graphics that make the gameplay so much more interesting. 4. It is the community that creates all the different mods of the game, in other words the community that add even more...

Q3

Explain how the political context in which newspapers are produced, influences their ownership and regulation. Refer to The Guardian and The Daily Mail newspapers you have studied to support your answer. [10 marks] The press in the UK is free and it is generally accepted that this is fundamental to a democratic society. That means that newsmakers should seek out and circulate news, information, ideas, comment and opinion to hold those in authority to account. The press provides the platform for a multiplicity of voices to be heard. This also means that newspapers are allowed to express opinions, as well as political views. In both newspapers' cases, as any press out there, they have a political bias, which of course affects the news they put out as well as their stand on social and ethical issues. After the 2011 phone hacking scandals involving a range of newspapers a major report was published, by Lord Leveson. As a result, a new press regulator, IPSO, was set up. The aim w...
