Music Video Questionnaire
The document is a questionnaire for a music video project that asks the respondent to read annotated lyrics for 6 songs and provide their opinions on video ideas and which song would be best to produce a video for. It then asks the respondent to choose their preferred song and answer 7 questions about video ideas, including character appearance, locations, narrative vs performance elements, specific lyric interpretations, overall mood, and personal images and ideas from the lyrics.
Album covers
The document is a list of influential rock albums from 1965 to 1998 arranged chronologically. Some of the notable albums included are Highway 61 Revisited by Bob Dylan, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by The Beatles, Electric Ladyland by The Jimi Hendrix Experience, London Calling by The Clash, Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols by The Sex Pistols, and Nevermind by Nirvana. The list contains albums from many iconic rock artists and bands that helped shape the genre over several decades.
Song Lyrics
The document contains lyrics from 5 songs being considered for music videos. The summaries are:
1) The Pulp song discusses a relationship and suggests a performance-based video.
2) The Ian Brown song contains religious and political imagery and a performance video following the singer through streets is proposed.
3) The Stone Roses song depicts violent scenes and a performance video of the band is suggested.
4) The Oasis song could show the band performing at a bus stop with imagery of the lyrics.
5) The Manic Street Preachers song proposes videos of the band practicing or performing to show their musical progression.
Front cover draft
This document discusses creating a digipak based on the U2 album Achtung Baby. It will have 32 total photos across the front and back covers to recreate the album art illusion. The photos will aim to capture a varied light and dark color scheme leaning towards the darker side, similar to the original album covers.
Leveson - Results and Recommendations
The Leveson Report makes several findings and recommendations regarding press regulation in the UK. It finds that some newspapers recklessly pursued sensational stories without regard for privacy or harm caused. It recommends establishing a new independent regulatory body for the press with statutory backing. This body would have powers to fine papers up to 1% of turnover for code violations and investigate serious breaches. The report is also critical of some police relationships with the press but does not find evidence of undue influence or corruption.
Storyboards First Minute 30
The document provides direction for shooting a music video over the course of 1 minute and 30 seconds. It includes shots of empty streets and public areas for the first 30 seconds. From 30-35 seconds there will be a close up of an analogue wall clock to symbolize the passing of time. Vocals will start at 35 seconds. From 35-42 seconds there will be a mid to close up shot of the singer. From 42-48 seconds a mid to long shot of the singer, possibly with a guitar. From 48 seconds to 1 minute, shots of the singer in different locations including some from the intro and a bedroom. From 1 minute to 1 minute 12 seconds, a return to a close up of the singer

Smoking Advertising
The first known advertisement in the USA was for P. Lorillard and Company's snuff and tobacco products in 1789. Advertising of tobacco products in newspapers was common in the late 18th century as the health risks were unknown. The development of color lithography in the 1870s allowed tobacco companies to create attractive images and print them on cigarette cards to promote their brands. By the late 19th century, magazines also carried advertisements for cigarette, snuff, and pipe tobacco brands. Throughout the 20th century, the tobacco industry engaged in widespread advertising campaigns associating smoking with health, glamour, and sports to promote sales.
ECP
The complaint was upheld in one case and not upheld in another case related to reporting of crimes involving relatives of public figures.
In the first case, the Daily Mirror identified the former partner and underage son of Gary Dobson in an article about Dobson's conviction for murder. This raised safety concerns as the son was bullied in school. The identification was found to breach privacy clauses.
In the second case, articles in The Sun reported that John Terry's mother and mother-in-law received cautions for shoplifting. Terry complained he was improperly identified, but the newspaper argued his high-profile role as England captain made the story relevant given the stores' sponsorship ties. The complaint was not upheld.
To What Extent Is The Regulation Of The Press Important To An Ordinary Consumer
To What Extent Is The Regulation Of The Press Important To An Ordinary Consumerwilliamyoungmediastudies
The regulation of the press is important for consumers as it determines what can be published through various media like newspapers, TV, radio and the internet. However, regulations are often breached by media companies seeking readers/viewers. For example, during the Cumbria shootings, media interfered with victim's families and funerals in breach of privacy codes. They also published inaccurate stories in breach of accuracy codes. International incidents like publishing photos of Prince Harry and Kate Middleton in private also breached codes. While regulations exist, media companies still regularly break them, suggesting the regulations are not strict enough.Questionnaire
The document discusses a scene from the 1998 war film Saving Private Ryan. It asks the respondent to identify the rating the scene would receive based solely on its content, explain why, identify the genre of the film, describe the emotions and feelings evoked by the scene, and discuss what the filmmakers aimed to achieve with the clip and how it could be changed to warrant a lower rating.
Film Classification
This document contains summaries of age ratings for two films:
1) The film "This Is England" was originally given an 18 rating due to strong racist violence and language. Several scenes involving racist threats and attacks were considered for a potential 15 rating but ultimately resulted in an 18.
2) Stanley Kubrick's film "A Clockwork Orange" was initially given an X rating in 1971, equivalent to an 18 now. It was released uncut at this level. The film was later banned in 1973 over copycat violence concerns but the ban was lifted after Kubrick's death in 1999, still with no cuts required for an 18 rating.
The Leveson Enquiry
The Leveson Inquiry was established in 2011 to investigate the phone hacking scandal at News of the World and allegations of bribery of police. Lord Justice Leveson was appointed as chairman to investigate phone hacking at News of the World, initial police inquiries, and illicit police payments by the press. The inquiry is also reviewing the culture and ethics of the British media more broadly. The phone hacking scandal involved victims such as families of 7/7 bombing victims, Milly Dowler, and soldiers, resulting in public outrage against News Corporation and Rupert Murdoch and the closure of News of the World after 168 years of publication.
Evaluation Question 1
The document evaluates how a media product uses, develops, or challenges conventions of real media products. It summarizes how a magazine cover, contents pages, and article page were designed based on conventions from Rolling Stone and other music magazines, such as using simple colors, larger fonts for headlines, breaking up content into sections, and including band indexes and editors' notes. While adhering to typical magazine structures, original elements were also included to add more variation and interest.
Evaluation Question 2
The document discusses how a magazine represents social groups in its content. It uses language, colors, images, and articles tailored to its main audience of male teenagers and young adults. Specifically, it uses informal slang, dark but colorful tones, and features mostly male artists to portray this target demographic. The articles also frame this group as a misunderstood population often facing unfair stereotypes.
Evaluation Question 7
From the preliminary task to the full music magazine product, the author feels they have progressed in making magazines look more professional. The preliminary magazine looked more amateur compared to the music magazine, which looks like it could be on a newsagent shelf between magazines like NME and Q. The author developed their skills by using different text sizes and colors, taking more risks, and putting more time and care into the music magazine task compared to the school magazine. The author's contents pages for the music magazine also look much more professional than for the preliminary task, showing they put more effort into making it as realistic as possible for grading.
Evaluation Question 5
To attract their target audience of working class teenage/young adult males, the author focused on creating an eye-catching magazine cover using dark colors and images of popular male artists. They also included affordable pricing of £1.99 and used band logos to create an attention-grabbing magazine title. The contents included reviews, interviews, competitions and prizes based on feedback from the target audience. Large images, subheadings and alternating text colors were used to make articles visually appealing and easy to read for the audience.
Evaluation Question 4
My magazine was aimed at fans of the British music genre Britpop, particularly male teenagers and young adults who grew up with or were born during the height of Britpop in the 1990s. The magazine was also targeted towards the working class, Britpop's main audience during that time period. Key design elements included using darker colors like grey alongside Britpop's signature red, white and blue colors. A new artist was featured on the cover to appeal to younger audiences while still highlighting iconic Britpop bands. The low price point of £1.99 was intended to be affordable for the working class target demographic.
Evaluation Question 6
Over the past few months working on music magazines, the author has used various technologies to design, create, and publish their work. They were already proficient in Adobe Photoshop but improved their skills over time. They also learned to use Blogger to post their coursework online, though it was initially tricky. Other technologies like PowerPoint, SlideShare, and the internet were used for research and sharing work, with the internet being integral to their process.
Colour schemes

Ideas & designs
This document discusses using elements from a Rolling Stone magazine cover page and a Q magazine review section as inspiration for designing the contents page of a magazine.

Rolling stone analysis
Rolling Stone magazine was founded in 1967 and quickly became recognized as the best magazine of its type. It featured influential writers and covered major musicians and actors on its covers. Throughout its history, Rolling Stone has led the way in magazine practices and continues to be one of the top-selling magazines, averaging over 1 million copies sold per month.
