Week 4 Tuesday 16th October 2017
The hypodermic needle theory is a communication theory that shows that media is being consumed by the audience. This shows that the audience programs information without realising. For example a mother may think if her son plays GTA he will become more violent and possible end up in jail when he grows up. However this may not happen but because he is playing these games she may feel he will get influents.A primary audience is usually a persific person or group of people that is targeted or based too. For example your teacher and college would be your primary audience because they will be the one that receive you course work. This is because they usually help you identify the mistakes and the good work.

Media regulation is a way the governments has control over mass media there are advantages and disadvantages of this. For example a disadvantage is the government has access to the public's personal and private information, which the public have no idea about and are not able to do anything about either. Further more most people put their medias on private, this mean the mass media is breaking the privacy rule without letting the user now. However, on the other hand it could be an advantage because the government can find out if people are using the mass medias in an illegal ways such as bullying, pepophilia and much more.

Explain how media representation of ethnic group could be said to be stereotypical?
The media can represent ethnic groups in a way that is labelling and implying that all people in one ethnic group are the same in the way they act or do things. For example Black people are shown as loud, rude and uncontrollable in some film or television programs. This shows black people in a negative way and also it shows how people look at them in for they think they behave or portray themselves.This is shown in television shows such as Power and Empire where there is a high class, dysfunctional family that are involved with drugs and killing. This suggests that even though their
living a wealthy lifestyle they still involved in bad things. However in shows like Fresh Prince Of Bel Air they flip the stereotype to show that black people can live wealthy lifestyles and not be involved in drugs and killing. They show that black families can live happy and productive lives without all having the stereotypical image.

the mean character used voice over sound in the beginning scene this creating meaning because we was introduced to the character by him speaking directly to the audience. Ambient sound was also used when the mean character was angry and was talking to himself this they music that was played when hype and upbeat this went with what he was saying to himself. Music was used when the main character was thinking abou get revenge, the sing linked to what he wanted to do. Piano music was also playing when the main character's best friend got stabbed this is because it was a sad moment and the music made it memorable.

This film poster shows the denotation of her face from the eyebrows to the chin. It also indicates that this is the main character of the film. This picture purposely shows depth in lighting with half of the person's face lighter and the other half having a darker shadow effect. The picture of the person is showing strong emotion in her facial expressions with a striking gaze in her eyes while giving the illusion of her being silenced. Furthermore, the picture colour being black and white has a mysterious effect and implies that the film is filled with suspense. The colour of her eyes has a contrasting effect of warmth which is relatable and fear as it directly looking into the camera. The moth appears to have a direct connection to the person in the film as shown in the similar eye colour while also seemingly having singular role in the film. The moths strikingly symbolises death as shown in his face. The face the moth is changed to an image of a skull implying someone dieing and being left to decay. The moth is a very important part of the film because of the position it is placed over her mouth. The connotation of the poster is that the moth is preventing the person from speaking and eye reveals the message as it has the same colour of the moth. In conclusions the poster speaks of horror and death with the leading clues coming from the colour of the poster, the shadowing, her brown eyes and the skull moth.
