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 side of a story.

 2. Which paper might satisfy the audience's need for entertainment the most? What kind of escapism does it offer readers and which articles provide the most entertainment.

 The Daily Mail would satisfy the audience's need for entertainment the most, because they are more informal, and the majority of their stories are about celebrities and their lives (the latest scandals etc... ). The Guardian paper is more factual then it is entertaining, due to all of the information and statistics that it holds. The informal language can be more entertaining due to it being more casual.

 3. Reading newspapers is informative because it explores current affairs and culture, but which paper is best for providing this level of education?

 The Daily Mail newspaper holds more entertaining and informal stories, the newspaper looks more at celebrities, however there is also some aspects of cultural issues and current affairs. Therefore The Guardian is aimed at people with a higher level of education, as it is non-biased, it is informational/factual and it is also trustworthy.

 4. How might news and feature articles along with comment pieces spark social interactions for people?

 The news and the featured articles may spark social interactions with people as the news is  a good topic to talk about. Many people either read the news, watch the news or listen to the news. They will be able to talk about their opinions on multiple stories.

Jungle book questions

1) they promoted it using social media platforms like snapchat, which had a filter that potential audiences could use and share with their friends. Competitions were ran and the jungle book themed prizes were advertised.  The film also  had a Super Bowl ad placement and a 3D preview in auditoria before the Star Wars movie. 2) social media was vital to the JB becoming a good film. Traditional methods like ‘word of mouth’ was used to advertise the film. Without social media the film would not have been as widely marketed as it was. 3)  42 percent of the film's domestic sales came from 3-D and premium-format screens.   The film was released in the Dolby Vision format in Dolby Cinema in the United States,   and is the first film to be released in Dolby Vision 3D (in a few select theatres in New York City and Chicago). The fact that Disney is a big company allowed for the film to be shown in multiple ways as it was sure ...

Stranger things Both films have a scene where the kids are on a bike Both films include aliens Stranger things: Age analysis In the first clip of stranger things, the representation of age is shown through camera shots to show the stereotype of adults. A low angled shot was used where the adult (mum) was on the top of the stair and the children were at the bottom of them. The viewer was looking up at the adult with the children to the child's perspective. This shot was used to symbolize the authority and power of the adult. Over the shoulder shots were also used to show the child in between the adults (His mother and his father), this also shows the adults dominance over the children. The boy tries to ask his dad something but he tells him to 'listen to his mother' The mother/adults are also being responsible, as they send the kids home when it gets too late. In the second clip we watched the adults were represented differen...
