'Minority Report' Shot By Shot Analysis.

This is a medium close up (MCU) which shows several police officers. It helps us see the concern on their faces as they watch their former partner. The amount of people than you can see in this screenshot not only makes the viewer assume that the main protagonist is too powerful for one police officer alone but raises the tension by showing how many people are about to attempt to catch the main protagonist. 

This is a wide shot (WS) which shows us a scene with a crash involving a car. You can also see a human figure in the background which seems like they're running away from the impact but you can also see another human figure on top of the car roof with sparks flying, making the viewer assume that the person is the cause of the damage.  

This is a close up (CU) which shows the main protagonist, slightly looking bewildered at the police officers, due to me seeing the clip containing this screenshot, this can prove that the protagonist is making a mental note on how he was going to escape without getting caught. This can also create tension within the clip because of the silent pause he was made while the police officers tried to restrain him from running away. 

Story Board.

Medium Shot from down below to make the protagonist seem powerful.

This is a long shot from above to make the other character seem weaker than the protagonist.

This is a establishing shot which shows the viewer a preview of the setting.

This is a Over The Shoulder Shot which can show a female talking to the protagonist.

Yet again, this is a long shot, letting the scene intense by viewing us a basketball match.

This is an extreme close up of the main protagonist's eyes as he converses to the female after the basketball match.

Fruit Bowl Colour Task.

Today, our class was assigned to use Photoshop to fill in a blank picture of a fruit bowl. To help us decide what we were going to pick, Mr Halsey gave us some topics which could help us decide what colours that we were going to fill our fruit bowl with, I chose autumn and my finished result is this:

Advertisement Analysis

 Language: The key convention that tells the audience that this is a Childrens4Justice poster advert by adding their slogan within their Organization name in the bottom right hand corner. The slogan at the bottom of the advert 'We Are Childrens4Justice' - tells the audience directly who the organization is but also tells the viewer what their organization is all about; Children who want equal rights. The key images on the advert is the children with the duct tape over their mouths which symbolises their silence against their older counterparts.                                                                                                    
Institution: The main institution behind this advert is Fathers4Justice, a national organisation which is based on connecting fathers with their children, instead of being cast out from them in the hands of their mothers.                                                                                    
Audience: The target audience for this advert is primarily Fathers, excluding the elderly ages since broken homes often occur in middle aged couples. By making adverts they encourage the support of many fathers and challenge mothers both at the same time.

Representation: The representation on this advert is exclusively white and young people - which perhaps gives us a clue regarding the target audience. This is slightly surprising because some broken homes are caused by couples with a different ethnic background, which would expect you to see children with all kinds of ethnic backgrounds other than white males/females. This might not gain support from fathers who are from a different ethnicity but nevertheless, the harsh and gritty reality that is within this poster is bound to gain some support.

4) The running order for three separate editions of the programme. Watch at least 20 minutes of the programme on THREE separate days and write down the following:

• The news stories that appeared
• The order in which the stories were broadcast
• Why you think the editors of the news programme chose those stories and put them in that order.

1. Ed Milliband and Nick Clegg make last minute plans to campaign in Scotland.
2. MH17 Crash Report

I think they chose the Scotland story because it affects the whole nation and to gain support to keep the UK as the UK from all the world leaders is news worthy. It leaves the Nation wondering if Scotland is going to become independent from England and Wales or not.

I think they also decided to report the MH17 crash report because it could offer closure to those affected by the crash but yet could gain world support to the families of the victims of the crash.
