Selena Gomez on ELLEN
What is the purpose of the interview?
The interview i chose to do was with Selena on the Ellen show. Ellen is a women who has her interviews come back again and again and when they are on stage with her, is almost like they are an old friends just catching up together.
The purpose of the interview was to catch up with Selena Gomez, find out about her break up, dating life and how her music life is going and who she hangs out with her.
The way the interview is handled?
The way Ellen does her interviews is just by talking and makes her interviewees feel like her they can say anything. she always has an images and interviews to embarrass her interviewees.
The way Ellen handles the interview is by not asking anything too serious and if she is asking something personal or serious she asks it in a jokey way instant of a straight up. she makes people feel calm around her by making jokes and making her feel like she can tell her anything by saying things like " you been on my show many times and i feel like we friends and you can tell me anything for example justin" or by simply just bring about the question in a funny way.
In her interview she asks her own questions in her way but mostly instant of asking questions, she has an actual conversation with her. Asking her personal things just like two friends chatting. she makes her feel like they are the only two talking and there are not a whole audiences around.
the video that i through was most effective was the Ellen show. The way she interviews Selena was also like she could ask anything she wanted and Selena would answer because they had trust...
The interview that Hari chose to do is straight forward, the women that was interviewing Charlie Sheen, didn't bother to get to him but jumped straight into her questions....she didn't try to have a conversation with the man but just went to her questions in a way it was effective but not for the interviewee

documentary analysis (3) Men and Women
What is the social issue being focused on in this documentary
The focus of this documentary is the about the differences between men and women. The theory men are from mars women are from Venus is completely nonsense.
The researchers, Harry Reis, a professor of psychology at University of Rochester, and Bobbi Carothers, senior data analyst for the Center for Public Health System Science at Washington University in St. Louis, concluded that characteristics that we traditionally associate with one sex or the other actually exist on a continuum.
Summaries what happens in the beginning/ middle and end
In the beginning Harry Reis talks about about how we see the differences between men and women. He than goes to talk about the differences there are between men and women but just because women is loving and caring doesn't mean she cant play sports. when a parent raises a child she should change the child is the way the video ends.

who is the target audience? age/ gender/ interest/ how is the audience encouraged to participate in creating change?
The target for this documentary is mainstream. Considering the topic it talks about, it is information that is interesting to everyone and not just a small group of targets. The video dairy is short and gets to the point.
The gender for the documentary is targeting is both genders because of the subject at hand. the documentary is talking about both genders and not singling any out.
The kind of people that would found this documentary interesting is the social action type of people. this being a video diary it was posted on and those who might be interesting in the hearing what Reis has to say.
The way this encourages the audiences by telling the parent, don't focus the children on something they don't want. they let grow and figure out who they are by themselves.

task 6: Narrative and Genre
The objective of this task was to use the narrative to display the genre of the genre of film which is being used. using techniques such as camera angles and dialogue. I paired up with Isabella Francis and Cynthia Ankunda, we developed an idea to conclude our first two horror films with detailed narrative inform of a drama- thriller. the narrative involved a friend of all three main character going missing and two of their friends got killed, to wrap the story up the main characters find out who the real killer is.
Before we started filming, we had to print off props we would these included posters of Meron, the missing girl, Pictures of the fellow friends who died.
The film opened with a fast pace of the college which tied into the three main characters staring at a missing poster and talking about how much they missed their friend, the scene was a middle shot of three main characters but it would have worked better if we got a close up of each of character while they were speaking.
The following scene was of the main characters with their friends at a table. the camera was in a fixed point where there are no close up, the table full of friends were soon having a heated conversation but because of the way the camera was positioned, it would have worked better if we got close up of each face.
The scene that followed was the murder. this scene was well planned out, the way the camera was positioned it seemed like the shot was a point of view of the killer. When the killer is nearing the victim, is clear that the murderer is someone he knows, but that remains unknown to the audience, the camera pans upwards towards the sky and a gun is heard, making it very clear to the audiences someone has been killed.
The next scene fades in with an argument between between a couple, Cynthia one of the main character and her boyfriend Hari, Cynthia was mad about the disappearance of her friend and Hari being the supportive boyfriend tries to calm her down but it didn't work. the camera angel we used include an over the shoulder shot to show the both views of the characters. a mid shot was used to show how heated their conversation was. Close after the argument with Cynthia, Hari was sitting by himself, thinking when he came into the point of view shot of the killer that he clearly knows. the camera pans up and the sound of a stab and a scream is heard, we see a black bird flyaway in the sky, which adds to the mood and meaning of the film.
The three main characters from the beginning are once again seen standing side by side, the camera goes from left and right, close up on the characters facial expressions. The scene fades after the girls start going their own way, which worked very well. The final scene was of the discovery the killers, Bella overhears Sabrina talking to her accomplice over the phone. what was very effective about this scene was the dialogue between Sabrina and Bella, to find out the killer is one of her closes friends was hard on Bella but she unmasked the killer and we find out who the antagonist of the story is. what was ineffective about this scene however was the camera shot, it have worked better if we got close up of the argument between Bella and Sabrina (myself)

Kony analysis
Social Action Media Production: Kony 2012
Kony 2012 is a documentary made to help arrest Kony; it was
a social action that caught the attention of everyone that was on a social
network.
The issues being focused on in the documentary is the misuse
of power and the injustice of all. Kony has the power to kidnap countless
African children, brainwash them and force them to fight for him. Turning the
girls into sex slaves and killing those that don’t obey.
Kony has been was been wanted by the international criminal
court since 2005.
In the beginning of the documentary the director Jason
Russell introduces his family mainly his son.
Using images Russell introduces the live of his son. His son
now grown and able to talk introduces us to Jacob, the boy that forced Jason
Russell to want to make a video.
In the middle of the video, it was all about making
connections and making themselves heard but most important fighting back the
likes of Kony.
At the end of the video, Russell told the audience what they
could do to help rid the world of Kony (call of action).
The type of documentary is social action, using Facebook to
get the point across. The conventions used are no different then normal
documentary.

The purpose of the documentary was to raise awareness of
Joseph Kony.
Since Kony was so hard to catch, Russell had an idea to make
him famous instant so that he has no place to hid, in order to get him out of
hiding, everyone had to know what he looked like.
The purpose was also to raise awareness of Kony 2012
campaign.
The target audience for this documentary would be Global,
but since it was released on Facebook and everyone from the age of 11+ has
Facebook, the age group would be 11+.
The gender for this documentary is males and females, it
didn’t matter what gender you were, the point was to make Kony famous and stop
him and for that both gender had to be involved.
The type of people that would watch this documentary is the
people who have interest in social network and since now everyone has more then
one social network, I think the interest of this documentary is for everyone.
The way the audience were encouraged to participate in
creating change is by the end of the documentary Russell showed the audience
what had to be done and what they need to do if they wanted to help.

fast food/size
With obesity on the rise in the UK it is estimated that half the UK population will be obese by 2050. The National Obesity Forum said Britain was in danger of exceeding the prediction contained in a report back in 2007.
A new report blames junk food and claims fast food restaurants are to blame for tempting us to eat their food whether or not we are actually hungry. Fast food restaurants have been giving the public the wrong impression about what portion sizes should be considered right and what’s unhealthy. The obesity epidemic is a very serious problem and is something that shouldn't be taken lightly.
Annual income
Hidden public service cuts will drain Britain's poorest families of 30 per cent of their annual income by 2017, as the coalition's tough spending targets begin to bite, new TUC research reveals.
It said reductions in benefits and family tax credits, combined with continuing cuts to welfare, will 'cause considerable financial harm for millions of families'.
The dire predictions come as chancellor George Osborne prepares to deliver his autumn statement on December 5, in which he is expected to detail a further £10bn of welfare savings over the next five years.
'Unless George Osborne changes course,' the TUC warned. 'These cuts will be dwarfed by massive reductions in public services
Bus Fares
The cost of bus, tram and Tube journeys has increased as new fares come into effect in London.Fares have gone up in line with inflation, Transport for London (TfL) said. Single bus and tram fares on Oyster smart cards have gone up by 5p to £1.45. Peak and off-peak single fares on the Tube, DLR and Overground Zone 1 and off-peak single Zone 1-2 have risen by 10p, while cash fares increased by 20p.

Using interviews and footage, i will
show how people are gaining so much more weight now then they use too.
Croydon is full
of fast food restaurant, selling fatten food that doesn't help people
but people still end up buying because they are so busy making money that
they don't have time to cook anymore. Because we are in a sort of a recession every
sing price of everything is going up, nothing is cheap anymore which means
working on more hours in order to make more money to pay for the housing,
water, gas, electric, car insurance etc. No one has time to spend home cooking
anymore so everyone just walks into a fast food restaurant and buy food and
when you have free time and you’re hanging out with your friends, you end up
eating in fast food restaurants.
The fast food restaurants are not hard
to find. There are more in Croydon then I can count.
McDonalds, KCF, burger king etc are not
more than 10 minutes away from each other.
Where are the places that sell food that
sandwiches and salads? And how come the fast foods are cheaper than the healthy
food? Why not make it cheaper?
How comes bus fares have increased in
cost? Doesn’t that just make peoples live even harder?
