This document discusses different readings of a magazine cover featuring Jake Bugg. The dominant reading is that the magazine aims to go against mainstream conventions, as shown by its tagline labeling Bugg an "enemy" of the popular TV show The X Factor. However, an oppositional reading suggests the magazine still somewhat conforms to mainstream ideas by portraying disliking The X Factor as something people should do. A third reading notes the cover subverts ideas of cultural hegemony by depicting Bugg in a relaxed, unmasculine pose at a bar.

For teen movies, it notes they usually feature certain character archetypes and are set in high schools, with plots focused on relationships and coming-of-age stories.

Science fiction films typically set dystopian futures and explore themes of technology, threats can be metaphors for real-world issues, and protagonists try to defeat antagonistic forces.
Genre presentation
The document discusses the genre of pop punk music and how it will influence the magazine being created. It will target young teens and adults as pop punk has become increasingly popular. Examples of similar magazines like Kerrang and Billboard are shown and share similarities in dark backgrounds, bright fonts, and giving away free items to entice readers. Contents will include featured stories, news, gossip and giveaways divided into sections with corresponding color schemes. Posing and costumes for photoshoots will fit stereotypes of the genre, using cheap, graphic clothes and props like guitars and cigarettes.

Bias

Britains really disgusting food
The documentary uses various camera techniques and editing strategies to persuade viewers of the narrator's point of view. It uses a point of view shot to allow viewers to symbolically see what the narrator sees and relate to their perspective. Handheld cameras and minimal artificial lighting contribute to a sense of realism. High angle shots are used during an interview to make one person seem imposing and less relatable. Animated graphics and a confident voiceover also aim to convince viewers the opinion presented is correct.
Food inc (1)
The document discusses Food Inc.'s cohesive marketing campaign. It promotes producing food naturally rather than through unsustainable and unethical methods, and examines how industries promote unhealthy food.

This age range and majority male audience informed the use of red and black colors in the magazine's design. The target audience is also characterized as "strugglers" psychographically, as the indie rock genre stereotypically appeals to those who are less fortunate, rebellious, or suffer from addiction or abuse.

Playboy magazine was created in 1953 by Hugh Hefner to celebrate modern single masculinity. It became an overnight success, selling 70,000 copies of the first issue. Playboy featured articles on topics like sports and music alongside fiction stories and photos of nude women. While focused on sexuality, it also presented traditionally feminine activities like cooking as masculine pursuits. The magazine helped define its reader, the "Playboy," as urban, young, and a consumer of leisure and pleasure. For many readers, Playboy was simply entertaining despite promoting a lifestyle focused on sexuality and materialism that few could actually attain.

STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF HUZHOU TOURISM
STUDY ON THE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF HUZHOU TOURISM
Theoretical research 2
- 2. DOMINANT READING • The dominant reading of this magazine is that it is trying to go against mainstream conventions in a similar to those most other indie music magazines. This is shown by the use of the strapline ‘18-year old enemy of The X Factor’, which could connote that ‘Jake Bugg’ is trying to go against mainstream shows such as the ‘X factor’, as shown by the use of the word ‘enemy’. This is because, using the word ‘enemy’ could connote that ‘Jake Bugg doesn’t like The x factor. This shows ‘NME’s’ target audience that their magazine is trying to against mainstream conventions. Furthermore, the use of a bold mast head and main title also make it seem like they are trying to against mainstream conventions. This is because, it this magaizne could be trying to show a bold stance against mainstream culture and ideas, which is typical indie convention.
- 3. OPPOSITIONAL READING • The oppositional reading of this magazine is that it somewhat conforms to mainstream ideas. For instance, although the strapline “The 18-year old enemy of The X Factor hits America” could make it seem like he is going against mainstream ideas and therefore is trying to be independent. However, it could also be seen as patronising to other musicans and people who do like ‘The X factor’, because its suggesting that the X factor is something that people should be against.
- 4. HEMOGANY • This magazine clearly tries to detract away from the idea of heogamany, because although Jake Bugg seems quite stereotypically manly as he is sitting at a bar, he doesn't seem to be rough or in control as he seem quite relaxed as his arms are not crossed. In this sense the idea of cultural hemonagy is subverted as mainstream ideas normally depict men as quite masculine.
