Online Digital Publications

-

The impact on the internet on print journalism is constantly changing, this is because readership habits are also changing. As a result of this there has been a dramatic change within the way people are regarding and viewing current news issues and readership habits have steadily developed from Print Newspapers to Online Media. Due to the recent readership decline the Newspaper income is rapidly decreasing.

The Daily Mail:

The UK media landscape is divided between print and digital, but this rarely affects content in any meaningful sense. For many publishers such as the The Daily Mail, articles appear in both print and online editions with very minimal, if any, changes. The Daily Mail, for example, follows similar codes and conventions as its print publication and this is evident in their news values.The Daily Mail covers more 'soft news' stories like celebrity gossip and is referred to as a right wing paper that represents capitalist, free market ideology. This creates a platform to attract the same readership between its online and it's print publication because news stories do not differ. Their news values are made clear on both publications as they rarely cover important or current news events but stories such as 'Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler lashes out at critics'. Along side this, the layout of the Mail Online is somewhat similar to its print publication. They both contain adverts, sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories and a large amount of images to act as groundwork for its articles. However, the biggest difference between The Daily Mail print version and its online version is its availability to update stories every few hours and the amount of plugs used online. This adds interactivity to the paper and captures readers, buts also generates income and profit for their online publication.

                                                                       
 The Guardian:

Like The Daily Mail, The Guadian online also follows similar codes and convections to its print publication. The content between its print and digital publication rarely differ and there are very minimal changes. The Guardian's political ideologies remain the same. The Guardian is a left wing paper that represents socialist ideology. Broadsheet newspapers such as The Guardian cover stories in depth, focusing on politics, economy and 'hard news events'. This again creates a platform to attract the same readership between its online and print publications as the content of the stories barley differ. The news values are made clear on both publications because they cover important and current news events like Brexit. They both contain in-depth detail/content of current news affairs and mastheads, gaining readership. However, the biggest difference between The Guadian newspaper and its online version is again its ability to update news stories and the amount of plugs used on the online edition. The extra digital elements means that the online version can be accessed easily, which is good for its audience type and producing income and profit to allow people to access its online stories. However, we can see that The Guardian invests more capital into their online publications to gain more individual readers.

American Beauty

The props within 'American Beauty'  would suggest the idea of the American Dream (house, car, family etc), with Primary colours present throughout these scenes- red,white and blue. This is a representation of the 'good old' American country. As well as this the colours are also bland, simplistic and boring. This is present in the bedroom, bathroom and the office, which could reflect the lifestyle choices of the characters. It is evident that this has also been considered in the choices of clothing with Jane and Lester but less with Carolyn, also known as colour wise. The choices made for Lesters clothing might suggest the idea that he feels like he might be dying or he is already dead. In one particular scene the bedroom is dark on Lester's side of the bed, which might implie that Lester has some form of mental health disorder such as depression. Along side this, Roses appear present throughout the film. Jane, the daughter, has roses on her jumper, the mother, Car...

A Level Media Coursework: Textual Analysis of Dance Music Videos

                           The videos Lullaby (Sigala & Paloma Faith), One Kiss (Calvin Harris & Dua Lipa) and Came Here for Love (Sigala & Ella Eyre) have a similar theme of ideology and ethnic imagery represented in their videos. They all carry similar features and music video conventions when concerning mise-en-scene, camera shots and editing. For example, in the three videos above, it shows a very clear representation of the age group which are typically into dance music, this can be identified through the use of age specific actors seen throughout the videos, all seeming to be in their early twenties. Those shown in the video are generally female, this has been purposely done in order to attract viewers attention (Male Gaze) not because the audience is mainly this gender. From this we can understand that the videos have attempted  to target both gender...
