Dummy titles:

-Teens mental health destroyed
A comment that shattered them into pieces 
-Grow your creativity
Express your mind on the internet full of love and passion
-Shine online
The guide to attract all people and make you stand out
-Tanya Byron 
The flood of abuse from online and unsafe sites

Our weak tech laws have made children easy prey for abuse


Cover page photo can be cut off to cause effect and I can do dark colours to resemble emotions and feelings. 


Main title/cover line will be SOCIAL MEDIA KILLER and I could have blood dripping from the words killer that spread onto the next page. Inside the words social media I could have an image full of words of emotions or darkness and I would write about the impact of social media and why it has become so toxic. 


Main article:

Social media used to be an absolute wonder of invention and a jaw dropping creation, but now, what has it become? People are pressured to live the perfect life, have the perfect body and live up to all the beauty standards.

PAPER 1 EXAM FEEDBACK

 Q.3 How far does Cuffs adapt police drama conventions to fit its family audience at 8 p.m. on BBC1?

In your answer you must

  • state what conventions you could expect from most TV police drama
  • analyse the programme's use of genre conventions, making sure that you cover the whole episode (not just the extract played in the exam). This means explaining all the crimes that occur in the episode and everything that the police have to deal with that may be upsetting for viewers.
  • explain who the audience is for Cuffs
  • explain how far the programme adapted conventions
  • draw conclusions about how far the extract adapts the conventions of police drama to fit its scheduling and audience

Cuffs adapts police drama conventions to fit its family audience at 8pm on BBC1 by presenting the tv show to all audiences but mainly adults and young adults, as it starts at 8pm most young children will be asleep therefore more adults will be able to view the program. The scene at the start where the naked people turn around may not be appropriate to young children so they purposely started the show later so young children wouldn't be able to watch it. The scene where the man is killed in the corner shop by a bunch of boys can be quite graphic and make people feel unsettled or uncomfortable. 

In conclusion, Cuffs does adapt its series to fit family audiences.

MUSIC MAGAZINES

 

  • Analyse the media language of MOJO and the BBC magazine. 
  • Make judgements and draw conclusions about how far the media language is used differently to fit different kinds of music. (15)
Media language is presented in Mojo with the genre of of classical rock, conveying that it has a rock artist on the front, it has a very bold and colourful front page which is extremely eye-catching to me and the readers. Certain colours are used like reds and black which are quite outgoing and bold. The man who is photographed in the middle of the image has a very plain look, he looks quite serious and quite stern which could reflect his band and how serious they are about playing music. He has very artistic makeup which you wouldn't commonly see in the streets therefore people may be attracted to this and interested about what perhaps the magazine is going to be about. The newspaper includes san serif writing which is very bold and simple.

Compared to the BBC magazine the genre which is classical impacts the front page, plain colours and simple writing, there isn't any boldness or anything shouting at your face full of colours. The clothes the artist is wearing gives off a warm impression, he isn't wearing anything too out there or bold but instead just simple colours. The boy is showing a smile which can infer that he's happy and he likes what he's doing, he likes playing music to people and especially as he is very young, it's quite impressive. It can also suggest that he's welcoming the readers, they should read this magazine because he's friendly and inviting. 

In conclusion, media language is more formal in the BBC magazine and is aimed at different people compared to the Mojo magazine which is informal and aimed at certain people who like classical rock.
