Media presentation

WWW: 

My presentation was full of detail, pictures and explanations. The pictures were used as evidence to go towards our facts. for example one of the questions was about P!NK therefore we put the picture as P!NK.

It was well presented and included the words denonation and connotation which we was learning about, it also opened another door for us to include more detail and information.

Each slide was spoke and written by one of us in our own words and our own opinions, the presentation used a few opinions.

EBI:
My presentation may have had lots of facts and detail but it was not fun and the audience found it boring. Therefore lost interest and did not enjoy it.
The pictures on each slide were not dedicated to the question, they were just random pictures from the video.
My language in the presentation was not varied nor related to media as much as it could have been, the language was repetitive.

Does Hip-Hop represent a rigid and narrow version of manhood?
I agree with these statements because the rapper is trying to big themselves up to be a nasty, sort of person you would not want to mess with person and then they turn out to be a softie when they are not on camera then they are making a fool out of themselves because they are acting as they are because they have a job or came up from a certain background. In 50 cents video he is surround by girls which are half naked as a sign that he owns them and girls want to be with him, they are half naked to show that girls want him and he can do what he wants with them. He shows off his money by what he is wearing, such as his fur coat, diamond necklaces, rings and flash watches, the video is also shown in a big house. He is also sitting on an exspensive car, showing he can waste money as he is not driving the car.

It is not just 50 cent that likes to show off his money, recently it is not just rappers that show off there money, for example Justin Bieber, in all his video he is sticking out from the crowd by what he wears, such as chunky gold trainers. Going back to 50 cent, the language that he uses in his song candy shop show that the girls are controlled by him and that he gets pleasures from it "ill let you lick my lolly pop." The idea of videos such as 50 cents are to try and show that women should have perfect bodies and go for men with money, which is incorrect, in the real world women go for men with class, looks or personallity instead of men trying to look hard and rough.

50 cent is one of many stereotyped hip hop singer, the denotation of this is bling, tattoos, hat on backwards, facial expressions and also money or girls. The connote of this is that the bling shows off their money and that the girls go with the men because of the mens money, that tattoos are trying to show that they can take pain and also have money. Most rappers also make up stories which the press promote and make it believable, for example it is rumoured that 50 cent shot dead tupac...

                  Induction 3:Justification for TV logo

My TV programme logo is about a boy that gets excluded and will do anything to get in to that GCSE exam hall and get his results. The setting is a small school which has its problems and has resulted kicking out all the worst students. The main characters are the head teacher and the boy called Mitchell, the other characters include other teachers, Mitchell's friends, families and enemies. The storyline could involve the scene he got kicked out for, his home life, going out life and how he is going to get in to the exam hall and achieve respectable results. I am happy that i have been able to insert pictures into thinking bubbles adding to the effect, i did this by using the magic wand tool. If i had payed a little more attention to detail it would have been a good piece of work i think. I chose the background because he is a troubled kid and the night effect adds he is a rebel that stays out late.

WATERLOO ROAD CASE STUDIES 

I think this is a good logo because it shows that the school is disorganized and they have no control over the students. All the tables are crocked and in a dark room but the tables are lit up. it appeals to the audience that it is messy and busy class room.



The cast are all sitting together with not very tidy uniform, they are really scruffy and this sums up the school. The wall behind is full of graffiti and is chavy. They all have different uniform and don't wear correct uniform.






The program is put on television at eight o'clock because young children are usually asleep and it has bad language and inappropriate scene's.I think it is on thursdays because it is late in the week and people go to school on thursdays so they are trying to make it real as possible.

From what i can see Waterloo road is a school where the pupils do not were uniform, all crowd up in the playground, smash windows with hockey sticks, do spice girl dances in the playground and argue. The teachers dont look smart and they have a fag break in the playground...

The connotation of that is that the teachers dont really care about their jobs and are more interested in the pub then the pupils. The pupils are chavs and act as though they are gangsters.

overall the school is very chavy and probably one of the worst schools in the borough.
