the page is split between the political story, a puff box promoting the pull out supplement and an advert for a betting service. the headline 'brexit daily mayhem' and the use of the emotive words 'surrender' , 'defeat' and 'chaos' suggest the negotiations for britain leaving the EU are disastrous.

the image of May looking very serious anchors the headline - the fact the image is smaller than the rest shows the mirror has little respect or faith in may's abilities.

the strapline 'fighting for you' provides solidarity for people confused or worried about the political turmoil of brexit.

the cheltenham festival pull-out actually dominates the page - with bright green font and background , combined with an exciting action shot of a horse and rider, it grabs the attention more than the political story. the puff box 'all the tips! all the form!' offers practical advice and the offer of a free bet will also entice the reader. the use of these terms will position the reader as someone already knowledgeable about racing.

the advert at the base of the page also uses brightly coloured graphics, the greens linking it to the racing feature above.

the article about the assault on the actor is a close up of her upset face , to create empathy and the reader feel closer to this 'character'. the headline uses emotive slang like 'gassed' and 'thug' to condemn the attack. it also doesn't use the real actor's name instead addressing her as her character's name. the abbreviation of eastenders along with the slang suggests this story is less important and more gossipy

the central image is a medium shot of May, her hands are raised which could connote defeat. it could also indicate conciliation or resistance.

riptide - vance joy -indie folk pop genre -low budget, unique style music video -montage editing -- a wide range of contrasting shots juxtaposed (often through hard cut jumps) to convey a large amount of information: -  The editing together of seemingly disparate images invites  audience interpretation  and candidates could consider Eisenstein’s concept of “intellectual montage” where new ideas emerge from the collision  of images and generate new meanings that might not otherwise exist:  For example the sequence where a  male and a female suddenly turn their  heads to look at something off-screen  and the next shot shows a seemingly unrelated pile of dollar bills - consider the  connections  audiences are being asked  to make through this use of montage. Many of these cuts also have a clear  link to the lyrics   themselves and candidates might explore the visual  metaphors and possible significance  of these...

compare how audiences are positioned by the representations in the save the children advertisement and the water-aid advertisement  in the save the children advertisement children are represented as vulnerable and a message of their innocence is strongly put across as the young child in the advertisement is shown mostly in a negative  light, especially towards the end of the ad to really emphasise her innocence as a young child. similarly, the children in the water-aid ad are represented as innocent however with a more optimistic, peaceful approach. water-aid creates sympathy in an alternative way to the save the children advertisement. both advertisements are attempting to appeal to a western, middle class older generation as that is where the money is at. save the children attempt to do this by guilt tripping the audience. the advertisement is set in the uk, intending to hit home for the viewers and allowing the audience to empathise with the child and put themselve...

 what makes black panther a mainstream film? genre: action, superhero, sci-fi, adventure, fantasy→ all popular genres, strong appeal to a wide audience  narrative: black panther changes the formula by developing an afrofuturistic world with Wakanda and tying its antagonists and story to current social issues. instead of avoiding topics some audiences may find uncomfortable, the film asks the questions and aims to answer them. the nations history of isolation is a key plot within the narrative and becomes part of the central conflict. these themes fit perfectly within the marvel structure. the narrative in the final act of black panther promotes a sense of greater purpose, of a narrative reaching conclusions beyond the characters, making a statement on the world as a whole. black panther never loses sight of what makes movies have a lasting impression: a cast of memorable and likeable characters, a fully realised and fascinating world and a style that feels all its own. stars: ...
