1.WWW-some really interesting ideas for question 1about the product acting as a code to young teenagers. Good overall understanding of media terminology and theory such as question 2 conglomerates strategies.
EBI- closer analysis for the stormy poster and focusing your attention key areas to analyse such as the Union Jack flag or bare chested image.
Also looking at the other side of the argument for question and how some theories could be discredited such as bandoras social learning theory.
LR- see blog.
2.For question 1, I didn't mention how the gold textured colour scheme offers connotations of wealth.
FOR question 2, i didn't mention the benefit of diversitification which is that it lets companies embrace new technology and revenue.
For question 3, I didnt incorporate an against argument and one factor of this is public service broadcasting creates a market that commercial broadcasters can't compete in.
3. I would say 5 because I skimmed the notes the night before so it was not fully internalised in my brain.
4. I mentioned 2 factors and their benefits and one I could've incorporated is synergy and its benefit being how it allows copies to maximise their profits.
5. I incorporated the BBC and broadcaster and to improve my answer I could've added that public service broadcasting is regulated by ofcom which gives audience a platform to voice their opinions on the content making consumer and audience relationship more interactive and intimate.
6. Media has a lot of benefits to society but with these benefits come major issues and disadvantages such as public service broadcasting creating an unfair marketing world where commercial broadcasters can't fairly compete due to audience not wanting to pay due because of the free content they are getting. The funding model of the bbfc is also really pricey and unrealistic which means that young adults are more likely to avoid paying and therefore have less access to media that may in some ways benefit them.

feminism blog task
1.An example used in the text based on 'male gaze' is the image that Beyonce that creates of herself in the media where she portrays herself as an independent strong woman which challenges the stereotypical norms however on the other hand she objectifies herself in her music videos for the male gaze.
2.Texts like these are sexism in another form since their criticism contradicts their purpose because they criticise women for wearing or dancing in a certain way which attracts the male gaze and that it is all the womens fault.
3.Feminism – A movement aimed at defining,
establishing, and defending women’s rights
and equality to men.
Post-feminism – An ideology in culture and
society that society is somehow past needing
feminism and that the attitudes and arguments
of feminism are no longer needed.
Third wave feminism – Was a movement
that redefined and encouraged women to be
dominant and sexually assertive.
Theory drop
1. The sun has permission to be disruptive and chaotic from a young age whereas the daughter is expected to be agreeable , submissive and pleasant.
2.The phrase ‘non-binary describes an individual that does not identify as a male or female and this links to her theory that explains that younger children are becoming more comfortable using the pronoun "THEY".
3.On twitter, the everyday sexism project documents an image that in movies men usually approach women and sexualise them and focus on their masculinity in the process pf degrading a women femininity. The media airs this stereotype so many times to the point where it is normalised.
Music video analysis
1. This might contribute to butler idea that gender is a performance because Beyonce continually sexualises and degrades herself for a man and is seen as being submissive which to show the audience of the "femininity" that is expected of her in society.
2.Women are represented as objects in this video that are there to be used and sexualised and Beyonces stress without her man shows that women are weak ad need a man to keep going on with their life. this indirectly states that without men present women are worthless.
3. Beyonce reinforces this view the traditional male gaze by continually sexualising herself and incorporating nudity into a video which portrays an image that women need to show off their body and sexualise themselves in media to fulfill their "femininity."
GANGSTA BY WILL JAY
1.In this music video , there is an obvious showcase of how men have changed over the years due to the will jays feminine way of dancing and his lyrics which states that he does not have to conform to the expectations of masculinity to be a man.
2. Gauntlett suggest that the change in media in the 1980s resulted in more opportunities for people to change the construct of gendered identities and ignore the traditional gendered stereotypes.
3.Young men are still under oppression from the media since men who do not act masculine are labelled as "gay" and are expected to dress and behave in a certain way.

introduction to feminism
1.She was a constant victim of sexual harassment and found that other women just like her 'perceived ' it as a normal thing and wanted more women to not be afraid to speak about and not normalise it.
2.The everyday sexism project believes that women adressing their issues has lead to a significant progress and a decrease in sexual harassment and more women have reported it which links to the idea of postmodernism that there has been a progress.
3.With new technology, the sexism project was more successful because it was more accessible to victims such as development of mobile phones and of laptops.
4. I think that the everyday sexism project will not be needed in the future since there has been immense development in feminism such as the policy of equal pay act that meant it was illegal for women not to be paid the same as men .More victim are starting to speak up and campaigns such as the ME TOO movement has had a nationwide impact on all women and has raised awareness. Schools are also a lot more cautious of gender issues or any form of sexual harassment and have more strict policies on it.
Fourth wave
1.Networked feminism is the breaking down of the different types of feminism into different categories and the social struggle of woman on a number of different levels.
2.The ‘first wave of feminism’
began in the late 19th to early 20th
centuries, with a main focus on suffrage.
The ‘second wave’ began in the 1960s,
campaigning for the growth of equal
rights and leading to the Equal Pay
Act of 1970, amongst other equality
laws. Since the late 1990s, we are
believed to have entered the ‘third wave’
(often identified as post-feminism).
The new fourth wave of feminism is
also known as ‘networked feminism’. it
aims to tackle social
equality issues found
both on, and using,
modern technology. I agree that we are in the fourth wave due to examples such as the sexism project that is completely based online and is aimed to challenge social issues.
3.
4.I think that the everyday sexism project is a significant example related to the fourth wave however i dont think these are based of recent developments because many policies and changes in education were made in the 20th century which contradicts the 4th wave movement being post 2010 and is based on the development network although these developments were made a quite while possibly in the period of the third wave which could indicate that we are still in the third wave.

representation
1.Representation is the process by which the media presents the ‘real world’ to an audience. The representation of a media texts has a significant impact on audience because it shapes the audiences image of how appropriate the media texts is for them.
2.The shots of Kate Middleton create a critical representation of her since it portrays her drinking which in the wrong context can imply that the the duchess has a drinking problem which is inappropriate for a monarchy. However the next image is of her not drinking but rather the wine in her hand and if this picture used it creates a different representation of her where the duchess is seen professional and having self control for not drinking.
3. Representation is a combination of rejections and selection of choices that are aimed to create and ideological meaning. This natural representation of ideological meaning becomes more familiar to the audiences however it hides the true meaning of the ideology. The representation of the ideology in the media texts is in a structure where the actual ideology is hidden which has a direct effect on the audience and shapes their ideologists which is important in society due to influence being a major factor that drives and shapes the views of an individual.
4.Stuart hall discusses how opppisitonal reading is a when the text is read in the way the producer wants it to be therefore the producer has the dominat upper hand over the audience and can shape the audiences views which relates to the similar concept of representation which creates one dominat image of itself that has a major impact on audience.
5.The development of technology has resulted in easy access to media which gives more individuals to create a self representation of themselves in social media which means the influence on audience is now greater than ever.
6.The 2014 World cup , the sun sent a free newspaper to 22 million household in England which represented its own concept of "englishness" by symbolic references - queuing , the sundae roast , Churchill and the Queen. Some audiences challenged this "English" identity by voicing their disagreement on comment pages on how outdated and unrepresentative the "English" identity is.
7. The main actor in the taken trailer seems to be in an abandoned building indicating that this media text may consist of a dangerous and mysterious plot. The character is represented as an aggressive and violent character since the trailer consists of the main character threatening someone over a phone call. However the backtracking sound makes it seem as if violence is "cool" and instils a negative ideology in the audience.

industries regulation
1.Regulations provide rules and to ensure that organisations operate fairly. In the media industry there are several regulatory bodies that exist to monitor the way their industries work.
2.It is responsible for regulating broadcast media.
3.Harm and offence, crime and protecting the under eighteens is the most important because they have the most significant impact on audiences attitudes and values which has a negative overall effect due to the insensitivity of the content.
4.I agree because 6 pm is usually the time children are watching TV and there is a high chance that they would've come across the Wolverine which is not suitable for children since it has quite graphic content and lacks the element of being PG.
5.Section 1: Accuracy
Section 2: Opportunity to Reply
Section 3: Privacy*
Section 4: Harassment*
Section 5: Intrusion Into Grief and Shock
6.The lack of statutory powers in the PPC means that newspaper has been found to break the rules the best a victim can hope for is an apology, which often does not get sufficient prominence in the paper.
7. It is an inquiry into the culture, practice and ethics of the press which was held, mainly as a result of the phone hacking scandal.
8.It was replaced by the independent standards organisation.
9.Newspapers should be statutory regulated because it not all of their stories are based on facts which may tarnish someone else reputation if they are mentioned in a false reputation. However if it was statutory regulated , their media would be more based on facts rather than assumptions and would be incorporate sensible stories in their newspaper so they can avoid backlash and controversy from the audience.
10.The internet is quite global and due to the absence of of a specific body that governs the internet there is a conflict in who can regulate media and has the access to do it and what aspects of media is acceptable to regulate.
