 Aim: to apply knowledge to  print publication Kerrang magazine Ownership As of April 2017 Kerrang magazine, website and music awards was sold to Bauer Media Group to wasted talent, formerly Mixmag media (publishers of dance magazine, Mixmag). Wasted talent also bought style magazine, the face with the intention of bringing it back into publication. Wasted talent own Kerrang magazine, Kerrang website and K! music awards. The company Bauer media will retain the rights in the UK and Europe 'to continue broadcasting Kerrang radio and Kerrang TV.  It is important to keep Kerrang in print 'as the soul of the brand'. Moving Kerrang from a weekly to monthly issue made sense as it was a better use of editorial resource, it can be argued that it does not need to be weekly due to the fact the news within this area has gone digital. Kerrang has been suffering by putting a lot of its resources in a relatively low production, weekly print magazine in the UK.  Bauer media retained...

A nalyse how mise-en-scene elements contributed to the construction of stereotypes in a media production you have studied (15) I will be analysing how Jordan Peel's 2017 film 'Get Out' uses different mise-en-scene elements to contribute to the construction of stereotypes, with a focus on the opening sequence. Through the use of sound, the opening scene conforms to the stereotype that black people are usually working class, and do not belong in predominantly white, suburban areas. This is shown within the scene through the main character talking on the phone, as well as to himself. This conforms to this stereotype as this connotes that he feels uncomfortable and perhaps nervous.  The fact that he is speaking to someone on the phone could indicate that he is seeking a source of comfort and reassurance, as he feels the need to communicate. This is emphasised by the fact he is speaking to himself.  This can be applied to Strauss' theory of binary oppositions. This is becaus...

A nalyse how genre conventions have been used to create meaning in a media product you have studied   (12) I will be analysing how Jordan Peel's 2017 film 'Get Out' uses different micro-features to highlight the horror genre. This response will analyse how genre conventions have been used to create meaning within the film, with a focus on the opening sequence. Get Out begins by conforming to the horror genre through its use of editing techniques within the scene. For example, the beginning of the scene is slow paced. This creates meaning as it builds the tension of an audience, in which we get a foreboding sense that something bad is about to occur.  As the plot and the enigma develops, the pace of editing compliments this by developing into a fast pace.  This is effective as it releases this tension the audience feels, whist leaving them wondering who carried out the attack and why they did.  This can be therefore linked to Barthes theory of Action and Enigma codes,...

Reflect and Perfect  Question 1a and 1b- Interpreting data Answers need to be more about audience viewing and habits.  1A.  1. BBC 2 audiences enjoy a greater variety of programmes 2. BBC audiences enjoy mainstream sports 1B.  1. ITV audiences were interested in the England game on the 11 July 2. On the 18th of July Love Island had the most views ITV 1 audiences watch television before the watershed (9pm) 3. Explain what the term 'time-shifting' means Not always strictly recorded.
