Unfinished essay

MTV is an American network based in New york city that launched in August 1, 1981.

MTV attracts over 10 million viewers a day in the United Kingdom household. Out of these viewers the age range is between 16-25, whereas back in the 80's when it was a big attraction to the t.v is attracted a wider range of audiences. This could be because music videos are becoming more xplicit and offensive rather than fun and exciting for example; Kesha's song "Tik Tok" this video shows a young girl getting drunk, not caring and being very aggressive, whereas back in the 80's a classic example of a fun exciting video would be Cyndi Lauper "Girls just wanna have fun" This shows a girl who is going out with friends and having fun but not drinking or becoming aggressive. So as you can see music videos are becoming more negative than positive, parents would raise the concern that if there child was to watch that video would they then pick up on the artists actions? As you can see the logo is black which is quite dull but straight to the point, however if the company wanted to attract a younger audience they would use bright interesting colours. For example;

As you can see this logo is bright ,pink and very girly and you can quite clearly see this is aimed at young girls, you would see this even if the text "GIRL" was taken out. By looking at this logo you can also clearly see that the genre of the music would be pop and very girly for example- The Saturdays. Whereas MTV has no colour and is representing both genders. However unlike POP GIRL this doesn't really state what music is going to be shown as there is no selected genre. By having no selected genre they are attracting a wider range of audiences as they are showing a selected genre which will attract not only both gender groups but a wider range of different sub-cultures.

MTV website advertises up coming events, music and exclusive interviews and music videos . The website has colours for both genders and also advertising women singers like Cheryl Cole to male singers like Aggro Santas, this will interest both genders as male will use the male gaze pver Cheryl Cole and women will look and Aggro Santas as a sexual fanatsy. However browsing through MTV's website i have noticed that there is more information for males rather than females For example ; There is allot more female pictures on the website which be more appealing to men as they will look the image up and down this backed up Mulveys theory about the male gaze .This website would defiantly have the approval of there target audience as it shows everything about themselves and there music.

The playlist during the day are generally the UK`s top 20 or something else along that lineThe music is generally the same music thoughout the course of the morning for example :

The music is usally newer music like Diana Vickers or Olly murs, there music is generally very soft

and subtle whereas if you compare them to someone like Ceelo Green , his mucis is more offensive and aggresive. Here is a link to his offensive song rather than his radio edit

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU . This was would appeal to there target audience but the more younger audience as they would more likely be there during the day.

The playlist during the evening is far more upbeat and the music is way more aggressive and the lyrics are more offensive for example KESHA her lyrics are offensive towards the younger generation - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXVlXSaEXao&feature=fvst this music video contains a young girl rebelling in her life .It shows the negative view on young adults as there are no video clips of her at college or university.

Media Theorist

Mr. Stiles lesson

Mulvey

Male gaze - Male audience look at female characters as a sex symbol for visual pleasure ( shot for males)

Freud

Children or other audiences will pick an object rather than focusing on the main focus of the film. in other words just looking at stuff.

Lacon

The audience don't see themselves they see someone else, they see an image that is better than themselves and strive to achieve that image.

Scopohilia- Pleasure of looking-Freud

Cinematic experience enhance scopophilia- Mulvey ( voyeuristic fantasy)

Image is better than reality- Lacon ( mirror stage)

Lacons mirror is a cinema screen- Mulvey returns- Surrogate screen.

This is a video from Taylor Swift MINE. I was watching MTV HITS and came across this music video i kind of related to ours as it shows her memories. Also like ours it is performance and narrative base. The section when Taylor swift is performing there is photos hanging in the background which gave me the idea of making the section of Carly singing more interesting and relates to the story theme.

This is a blog site for THE VIXENS you have carried out the same task as us. Looking at there work it has given mye ideas and pointed me in the right direction.

Notting Hill

Story and plot; William Thacker, a travel bookstore owner working and living in Notting Hill, is barely making ends meet. He needs to rent out part of his house, his lodger whom he considers the "stupidest git" in the world. His personal life is equally in shambles as although he has a small group of dear friends, who are on the most part as equally unsuccessful professionally as him, he is divorced - she left him - with no prospect of love on the horizon. His life changes when into his bookstore walks American Anna Scott, arguably the most famous and attractive movie actress in the world. Against the odds, Anna and William become friends with the possibility of romance between the two on the horizon.

Actors; Julia Roberts as Anna Scott

Hugh Grant as William Thacker

This are the two big starts which are used in the film, this is an ideal way of selling your film by using big artists.

Director; Roger michell born in South africa but is currently living in England - The most recent film Roger has produced is Morning glory, which is about A struggling news anchor quits his job on a revamped news channel and is hired by a young producer looking to revive a failing morning show. Little does he know that his old rival has also been hired.

Genre; To me this film is a romatic comedy because it is humours and very romantic, especially when the stars first meet.

Distribution; This film is also distributed by Universal pictures which as i siad early is the perfect way to sell there film as it is a well known company to distribute there film to there target audience.

This film was realsed on May 21st 1999 in the UK this is a Unique selling point as it is a english film set in England.

Robin hood 2010

Story line and plot: Birth of a legend. Following King Richard's death in France, archer Robin Longstride, along with Will Scarlett, Alan-a-Dale and Little John, returns to England. They encounter the dying Robert of Locksley, whose party was ambushed by treacherous Godfrey, who hopes to facilitate a French invasion of England. Robin promises the dying knight he will return his sword to his father Walter in Nottingham. Here Walter encourages him to impersonate the dead man to prevent his land being confiscated by the crown, and he finds himself with Marian, a ready-made wife.
This story line relates to britishness because of King Richard and because of the past. This typical story tells us about the feud in the 13th centry in England.

Actors; Russel crowe as Robin
Cate blanchett as Marian
Oscar Issac as Prince John
Mark Addy as frier tuck
Mattew macfadyen as Sheriff of Nottingham
These are just a few main actors/actresses

Director ; Ridley Scott English director - other films he has been involved in is Gladitator very similar layout to Robin Hood and Legend. To me both this films have a relation with Robin Hood.

Genre; I would class this genre as action and drama i say this because there is pleaty of fighting and shows alot of information about the 13th centry. Personally this film reminds me of King Arthur this is just because of the fighting scences and the time when it was set.

The company that distributed Robin Hood was Universal Pictures, this is an extremly well known company adn would attract a wide range of audiences.

final idea

Lyrics and visuals

Verse 1 - Kneeling at the grave (colour), locket in hadn spinnig, whilst happening small clip of Carly singing in the studio, when locket drops into the river everything turns black and white.

Chorus - Sitting in bed crying over photos, tear drop falls onto image adn thats when she finds a happy memory of her and her mum having a flour fight. ( zoom into photo act out photo)

Verse 2 - flour fight, fade, helping daughter with homework ( food tech cooking a cake recipe ) hense the flour fight. Zoom out of the photos on bed.

Verse 3 -sitting on bench - open scrap book read letter near the river. carly sings last 2 line till "END"- back to locket in the water. hand picks up (colour) puts round neck and walks into a tunnel.

magazine

• The main attraction of this magazine is OLLY MURS. Having this photograph of this artist allows him to connect with a wider audience and shows his commitment to his fans because he is modelling for a gay magazine. The photo is central allowing the first gaze at the magazine to be OLLY MURS. Having the photograph central it is a big selling point for the magazine as this photograph is classed as EYE CANDY. Having the text saying HOT beside the image makes everyone look directly at the image and allows them to put there own opinion of the artist and what they think about him and his songs. Having the text in the same colour throughout the cover is gives it a more basic layout and more approachable perspective. Having a background very simple it makes the main focus of the magazine stand out, which on this cover is the photograph of OLLY MURS. This photograph will not only promote the magazine but also make Olly have a bigger fan base as he is posing for a Gay magazine not just heterosexual magazines allowing his fan base to enhance. Having other stories around the edge of the magazine it is creating a teaser pulling the audience into the magazine to view the image and to asses the stories.

CD anaylese

• The advertisement of artist is the main selling point of the DIJIPAK itself as having the artist repeated 7 times on the front of the CD cover. Having each one of the images expressing different emotions , it allows the audience to have a connection with the artist and the also portray the emotion of the song through his images. Females will look at this single cover as a sexual fantasy because many girls will look at the images and asses the looks of the artist. Again as i said earlier having him staring into the camera it is connecting to the girls and will enhance them to buy the CD. The design and layout of this single cover is very simple, having the single cover simplistic there is a greater chance of the audience understanding the emotion behind the song and the emotion the images are portraying towards the audience. Having a simple cover it allows all the focus to me on the artist and nothing else. The natural colours of this DIJIPAK almost promotes the artist opinion of how he is viewing the song FOR EXAMPLE - Having a relaxed colour shows us that the approach the artist wants us to have with the song which is a relaxed atmosphere. On the DIJIPAK there is not just one image of the artist but multiple this is a unique selling point and is not only promoting the song but also the artist. A theorist Mulvey supports the idea about the male gaze, however this goes against his point unless homosexual, because this photo supports the female gaze because the way in which the artist is looking into the audience. Having the singles name on the front of the DIJIPAK allows the audience to quickly identify the song, instead of browsing through the DIJIPAK wanting to know what the title is. The photos down the side look like they have been taken in a photo booth at the city as they are lined up that way, this creates a relaxed approach to the audience and shows the personality of the artist to the audience. OLLY MURS is in a different colour to the title which makes it stand out more and shows the audience exactly who the artist is. The photos taken look natural by this i mean they don't look like they have been modelled, having natural photographs supports my view of having a relaxed atmosphere and emotion. Just by just looking at this album the target audience looks like it is aimed at young females because of how the main photo of the artist is gazing into the audience and creating a connection with his fans.

magazine

• Teaser pulls audience in
• Tips on the hot summer look
• bold titles stand out
• all colour and text are very similar
• price
• big stories are bold
• artical on taylor swift
• you can clearly see this magazine is aimed at females just because of the colouir,celebraties and information around the side E.G. fashion
• aimed at females
• advertisment of clothes and there stores
• main focus of this magazine cover is Taylor swift, By placing her on the front of the magazine you are automatically bringing in a big audience. By this i mean, you will have the regular buyers of "SUGAR" and also Taylor Swift fans.
• Big shock stories, however this shows there target audience "TEENS"
• lots of colour to attract your audience, however this is depending on the age group.
  
  

CD analyses

• Very simple and straight to the point
• shows the artist herself
• aimed at a femal audience
• Her name looks like it has been writen on which makes it m,ore personal to her.
• To me her hair on this photo is pointing left and right which to me its telliong us to open the CD
• However malkes may buy this because they will look at the photo as a sexual fantasy also know as the male gaze.
• Natural colours
• Name - "FEARLESS" has a black shadow draws you to it.
• Background matches the colour of her hair
• Representation of sexuality - she has no eye contact with you which makes it more secretative as you want to know want she is looking at.
