Title Sequence Pitch FALLEN 'Its the root of all evil' Description of title sequence: In our title sequence we have put the main focus on an image of a tree, which is the fundamental focus of the television series. The tree possesses long roots to manifest the idea that the tree had been there for myriad years. The house, which is beyond the tree out of focus is used to show link between each of them to the owners of the house. Each leaf shown in the title sequence (That is blowing away/falling from the tree) represents the deaths that have happened, and the deaths that are yet to happen. As the shot pans downwards to show the ends of the roots, dripping blood is shown, this again links with the plot of the drama series (The tree that kills when it looses a leaf).  The 'red' blood is used to manifest the death aspect of the show, and also to show what is killing the people (The leaves). Evaluation: 1. What Media Language have you used in your tit

Comparing Editorial Comment 1. Consider why people return to the same newspaper title repeatedly and feel that it represents their own views that they can identify with. How is this particularly obvious with the comment page. People return to the same newspaper because it holds the same opinions on it, and they also trust the information that they acquire (this could possibly be from reading the same paper for numerous of years/times, therefore you believe that the information is trustworthy). This is obvious with the comments page, as 'The Daily Mail's' comments page is again informal and does not hold as much information and statistics as 'The Guardian' newspaper comments does, as The Guardian is more information based and they hold a lot of statistics and references, they are also usually non-biased,and look at all aspects of the story. Where as The Daily Mail is more biased and they like to repeat themselves, and also they like to give only one s

News: Analysing the Language of Newspapers  The Daily Mail 'hostage take walks into bowling alley full of children clutching a sawn-off shotgun' A man was filmed calmly walking into a bowling alley full of children just moments before a gunman allegedly held two staff captive with a sawn-off shotgun .  The dash-cam  footage was captured at approximately 2.40pm and appears to show a man entering the building with a long object in his left hand.  It is not known whether he was involved in the incident but just moments later a man allegedly shouted 'game over' when walking through MFA Bowl at Bermuda Park in Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Terrified witnesses claimed he held the gun in the air and strolled through the building in front of terrified families before being arrested four hours later. Tone: What tone is being created by the copy? What is the purpose? The Daily Mail uses a tone that tells us that they want us to feel especially sympat

News: An Evolving Media Product The guardian https://www.theguardian.com/uk The layout of the guardian online is easy to read and also to find out information more easily than on a printed edition. The website has numerous categories (which includes: UK, Politics, World news, sport and many more).   Differences: The printed copy has one main headline with one picture, which is used to draw the readers attention to the story. The newspaper print is quite small and uses a lot of space, whereas the online version is more spaced out, and has a reasonable size text. The online edition can be updated when there is a new story, where as for the printed edition it is not that east to do. In each of the categories on the online paper there are many stories to do with it, whereas in the printed edition there may not be as many stories because of the lack of room available. The online copy includes the weather, where as the printed copy doesn't. This is becau
