Slaughterhouse Rulez Trailer

Image
SlaughterHouse Rulez: In the trailer for Slaughterhouse Rulez, we start the video with a wide perspective of the school that it is set in. It is a high point of perspective which is looking down upon the school as if it is coming to pay attention to what is going on in the school. It has the middle of the school in the centre of the scene to make the school look bigger as if it has power or is a status of power.  The music in the background is appealing to the teenage stereotype fantasy of a cool like rock band playing simple music. And the title of the movie also refers to goofy and cool as its is splatted onto the white canvas. The trailer has scenes which match the beat of the music which is in the background so that it makes the music more appealing to the audience. The title of the film also refers to the teenage stereotype of a quite lazy, rebellious mentality. the z instead of these could make the name sound more intimidating or cool. The name of the school is...

Analyse the ways in which meaning is constructed in this media product. In this media product, we see a young lady of the white ethnicity who has a stand out feature of her lip colour since the bright red stands out on her skin and face, she is also an attractive young lady with a feisty look which will impress men or satisfy men since this is a factor of the male fantasy, and maybe if the wives of he men were to show them this they may be tricked into thinking this lipstick will improve other things like facial feature s and not just the lips. The bracelets on her wrist which are pure cherry red match with the colour of her lips making them stand out more, the photo looks like a method of advertising this product since it contains a lot of information on one picture and has lots of bold letters and different colours to stand out to the reader. The attention is first brought to the model who is previewing this product for a visualisation to the reader, she looks the reader di...

Weekly Blog Post 5 (Red Dead Redemption)

Image
Red Dead Redemption 2 The long wait that gamers have had since red dead redemption was announced in October of 2017 has finally come to a near end. with this triple-A game so close the developers (Rockstar) have since published 2 gameplay videos to keep players hyped for the game. I was a huge fan of the first red dead and since have always thought that the modern day graphics would suit the red dead genre to a tea. The trailers include details on gameplay features and missions like robbing a train and hurdling horses for your gang. In my opinion, this game will be a record breaker to go down as the best release of the year with games like FIFA 19 and Call of Duty BO4 out in the same month I believe red dead will top them all. So far I give the gameplay trailers a solid 9/10 for graphical representation and gameplay features.

Weekly Blog Post 4 (Kooda Music Video)

Image
KOODA "Kooda" (also stylized as "KOODA") is a song recorded by American rapper 6ix9ine for his debut mixtape Day69. It was released on December 3, 2017, for streaming and digital download, through ScumGang Records. The song was written by 6ix9ine himself and produced by Koncept P. It peaked at number 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100. Kooda Is a brilliant representation of 6ix9ine's personality and lifestyle, the song includes female actors doing such dance moves as twerking and splits showing he is into women who do "freaky shi*" this was said by 6ix9ine in an interview that he filmed after the song. In my personal opinion, I love the song since it is easy to get lit too, when I go to rappers concerts and songs like this come on I always am the first to dive into the moshpits.

Weekly Blog Post 3 (PUBG)

Player Unknows Battlegrounds To say I could sit and talk about this game all day would be true since this game is by far the most complete, fun and heart racing game I have played to date. About 2 years ago I bought a gaming pc which meant I could play bigger games and when this game came out I thought why not get it, and for £14 I was over the bloody moon. The game is set in a post-apocalyptic world where 100 players are dropped onto a map and they all have one goal; be the last alive. Never did I think this game would be as good as it was since I was the only one out of my friends who had it at the time. But now pretty much everyone has it can be a lot more fun when playing with friends. and as the game continues to grow it will only get better. This game gets a solid 10/10 from me no doubt. Here are some stats on records that the game broke:

Weekly Blog Post 2 (Astroworld)

Image
Astroworld With this being the most anticipated album to date, album producer Travis Scott has teased this project for almost 4 years and had fans desperate to hear his songs. The tracks he made included some of the most famous rappers and singers of the time like Stevie wonder and juice world. Astroworld was released on the 3rd of August, even though I was on holiday at the time I excluded myself from civilization for an hour and examined this masterpiece. Overall I give this album a solid 9/10 and potentially the best album of 2018

Mag Analysis

Image
In this magazine cover we see that there are 10 rappers gathering round together looking as if they are posing for a photo. Some of the iconic figures in this picture like famous rappers xxxtentacion, Playboi Carti and Kyle appeal to a mainstream fan audience. The red interior makes the rappers stand out since they are mostly wearing black as clothing which sticks out compared to the red room. The most appealing text in the piece is the big yellow sentence in the middle "2017 freshman class". this is the name of the company that the rappers are under and the year that it is. The font of the title appeals to a young audience as it gives a goofy feel or like a hip hop vibe since it is As if the title has been spray painted. all of the rappers are wearing trendy clothing which also appeals to the teenage fantasy. For example Playboi Carti's jacket is around $5,000 and the people who see this cover will know what it is and they will most likely view it. Each of the rap...

Honda

Image
In my opinion this is a brilliant advert because the mechanics used in this video show how good honda is at coming up with ideas and how they can make machinery work so well. this advert could add trust to the customers believing how good Honda are at manufacturing working circuits.

Stella Artois

Image
This advert displays the importance of Stella artois to this small french bar with a large audience. The young solider is exhilarated at the sight of a Stella artois. The other people with the soldier are jealous of the soldier and wish they could have some but the bartender is too protective over it. The stella artois also looks much more appealing compared to the regular beer that the others have. This is a good advert because it makes the viewer want to try stella artoi to see if it is truly as good as it sounds and looks in the comercial.

Levis Advert

Image
This Levis Advert is promoting the jeans and the jeans only. it displays a young in shape man diving into water in his jeans. the audience may be confused to why he is jumping in water in his jeans we only realise at the end of the advert that levis jeans has a unique feature of getting better every time they are washed. this advert in my opinion is great because it brings the audiences attention till the end.

T-MOBILE ADVERT

Image
T-Mobile Advert The advert is situated in a busy train station in Liverpool and features many people dancing in one area as if they had rehearsed it. most of the dancers are actors since its obvious this event could not have occurred out of no where without rehearsal. many people begin to bring there phone out to record the dancers and some people even partake in the dancing crowd. to me, this advert portrays a sense of connection but i only realized that after seeing that it is a T-Mobile advert. i wouldn't have though this at the start. Overall i didn't think the advert showed much relation to the brand it was trying to promote.

Malefecent

Image
Maleficent Is a different type of villain because she uses her beauty against her enemies, her pale face and defined facial structure will fool many people to think she is an innocent lady but her horn like hair and black outfit make her look like the devil. her white skin color shows she is cold hearted and represents she is an evil looking demon which associates with the devil. In this picture the devil looks very similar to maleficent with the sharp collar and horns.

Darth Vader

Image
Darth Vader's Representations In this scene, Darth Vader has his first appearance with his transformation, and the scene has a lingering smoke around him and the music emphasizes power with the choice of music. The black suit he wears and the mask gives him a scary evil look of mystery and unknown. the large eyes and heavy breathing make him look and sound horrifying. His iconic breathe in this scene emphasizes hes been created and is alive. The suit represents power with his cape and his mask adds fear to all the Jedi's in the film showing he represents the evil side of the force in the film. His red light saber also simbolises his representation for the sith side. His breather also looks like teeth to emphasize vicious intent and the sharp pointy ends on his mask show danger and hazards.

The Jokers Representations

Image
The Joker The joker is represented as an evil person who shares in humane like features like his smile and all white face paint. His dark make up around his eyes suggest evil and darkness showing he has a dark vision. His hair is also green and looks unwashed suggesting maybe it hasn't been washed and maybe he does not care or look after his hair. His voice is a mysterious tone with a sinister accent that he uses creating un-comfort for the people watching. His suit represents the color of a clown which maybe is what he represents in the film. In most of his scenes he shows an insane mentality, example. in one of the scenes he sets a bomb off in a hospital and after small explosions he turns around as if the explosions were tiny and after spamming the button on the detonator as if it was a toy, bigger explosions occur and his facial expressions show he has a sense of happiness from seeing the explosions.

Den of Thieves Review Den of thieves is a heavy based action film that I was told was one of the best robbery films of the year, and upon watching this, I was happy to agree with the fact that the acting and gunplay made me realize that this film was going to be a classic action movie. The movies main procrastinator was surprisingly the cop who was played by Gerrard Butler who in himself is a scary looking man, his technique of giving off an angered mentality was noticed in his screen time since he would often swear and be rude to the other characters. I would probably give this movie a 9/10 rating since the film got me hooked from start to finish and I find that many films lack that excitement from the start to the end.
