Typography

I have decided to use these fonts as they all relate to the words, for mistake I have decided to cross it out as its a mistake, for falling, I have bended the text to make it seem like the text is falling. For Elastic I have stretched the text because of elastic bands, for harmony, I have used instruments to write the text. For Madness I chose a funky font as I could not find anything that relates to it. For Radiation I have chosen a nuke logo and deformed text to look like the text is infected. For emperor I have chose purple because a royal colour and I have added a crown to show power.

Camera Shots

Close up shot- used to show face expression of the character. Setting is not visible.

Medium Shot- used to open a new scene and show more than one character, it also shows the setting.

Medium shot- It shows the girl from a wider angle, the shot builds up tension.

Over the shoulder shot- It allows the audience to feel like they are actually there and it also follows the character.

Medium Shot- This shows us that he is getting arrested, the setting and both people are visible.

My fruit bowl!

For my Fruit bowl, I have chosen to use a vintage/urban look. I have used darker colours to present the fruit bowl. Also to make the fruit bowl more realistic; I have added texture to some of the fruit. The fruit is set on a wooden table and in the background. I have added windows to make it look like there is light coming through.

Print Advert LIAR

Language:
 The Last of us, the background for the advertising is very dark and dull and includes the 2 main characters on them. The game itself is a PS3 exclusive so the marketing is there at the bottom to represent what console it is playable at. The advertising also includes what the game was rated to attract customers and a picture of the game case design for people to remember when making their purchase. The effect created here is to show a very dark and mysterious game.

The audience is targeted both male and female but male dominate it more. The game is targeted at people aged 18 and over.

Representation:
The dark cover art makes the game look dull and weird, it represents the main 2 characters which tells the story of the game.

(ORIGINAL) Annoying Orange Review

The annoying  orange is a YouTube video that went viral after the creator of the video posted one video on the internet. After a couple of weeks the video received over 58 million views. The original creator ( Dane Boedigheimer) who previously worked on other animated series about food was requested to create more of the annoying orange. By the time he did 4 episodes, the series had over 108 million viewers which was the most watched series of all time on YouTube at the time of April 2010.

The annoying orange is mainly based as a comedy/Adult humour genre but the targeted audience of the video  is mainly teenagers simply because of the amount of time they spend on YouTube. There has been some reports that the video has too much adult humour for kids, the creator did not take much notice of this and still creates the new videos in the same concept.

I think that the series is funny and most people find it great to watch but in the future there should be improvements of the script or a warning before the video before watching as some people may be affected.

Why did I choose Media as my GCSE?

Hello ! :)
My name is Alan and I'm 15 years old.
I am a dedicated film-maker and photographer, I chose media in order to improve my video skills and have more knowledge about media in general. I believe that media is a great GCSE as students will be able to collaborate and create great content. All over the world media has been a great source of information and I think that it is great that students can choose it as a GCSE. By the end of the year I hope I have a good knowledge about media and achieve a good grade.
