Audience theory Task

1) Read this  Mail Online article about the effects of videogames . How does this article link to the hypodermic needle model?  The article published by mail online (a media outlet apart of the daily mail) is heavily linked with the hypodermic needle theory mainly due to the fact that the article adds to the belief that video games are linked to aggression, the way the article has been written would suggest to parents that allowing their child to play such games could lead to them being aggressive when they're older 2) How does coverage of the Talk Talk hacking case (see Daily Mail front page below) link to the hypodermic needle model?

Weakest: Question 3- this was because I had gaps in media knowledge that was neede...

Blog task: Maybelline 'That Boss Life' case study and wider reading

2) Cinematography: camera shots and movement : multiple instances of extreme close-ups of the actor's eyes, this is for two reasons, one is that the business is trying to put extra emphasis on the product; another reason would be that the business is trying to almost fetishize eyes for the advertisement to help promote the attractiveness of the product, along with this there were many mid shots used to help show the transformation of the main figures and to also help establish the scene. 1) Narrative & genre: narrative theory and sub-genre: Using Propps theory of narrative you can see that there are two heroes (Manny and Shayla) and a princess (the lady in the taxi), the two heroes then use the mascara to help 'save' the girl and get them into the apparent club.  3) Mise-en-scene: costume & props: There are multiple instances of mise en scene that help indicate luxury or high living standards there are multiple instances of gold being u...
