Here is a broadsheet newspaper, called "The Bucks Berald".
Compared to the tabloid news paper "The Sun," there is a big difference in layout, text, market audience, and information.
This newspaper is much more informatic, as the cover has alot of text printed onto it.
The paper has a main headline and story with a relevant sized picture to go with it, along with other stories at the foot of the page which also have relevant sized images to go along with it.

The Broadsheet targets more working class people, who have an interest in current matters and reading informatic news, compared to gossip served in tabloid newspapers such as the sun.

The composition of the cover is done well in relation to its audience as it fits a main story at the top, with other important mini stories at the bottom, it includes a well sized image for the main article as well as little images for the smaller stories.

This is the front page of 'The Sun.'
Which is the second-highest selling newspaper in the
country. The paper is in tabloid form and is aimed to attract avergae working class people, as its a baragin for 20p. the paper, especially this one in general seems to be targeted more towards male readers. As it stereo typically features woman and sports.

The target audience is stereotypically attracted by the use of the models image holding a banner with the word "GOAL" written across it, signyfiying that men care about two things, sports and topless women. The cover also does not have alot of text, which would deffinatley attract the majority of male readers, as this signyfys that men wouldnt read articles by choice, and would tend to read more Masculine articles.

The composition of the cover is used well in its objective of grabbing the attention of readers.
It is credited by the use of The female model, whom is the centre of attentsion literally. She is used well in the layout as she is holding up a banner which has a key word related to the articles main topic.

The image is shot by a medium shot, with the female model giving a seductive yet seemingly friendly and open pose. This is interesting as it very cleverly done to attract readers. who pay close attention to expresions. A good use of high key lighting is used, to highlight the models body along with the banner that she is holding up.

The use of colour is clever as the background is black. I would say this is clever as this makes the light skinned model stand out even more then she would on a plain white background. A result of this is obvious as more male readers would be able to nottice this from greater distances, attracting the target audience as well as other readers.
This along with the name of the paper stand out alone from the other smaller articles. Giving the papers brand name as well its feature article good advertising.


The Main focuss of the cover is the image of the woman and the word “GOAL,” which shows the intent to ‘score’ as the paper is linked to the world cup, but it can also be seen from the male pespective, the desire to score with the topless woman.
Some viewers (Majority of whom are female) may see this image and message as a degrading use of the female Body, This would attarct opposition reading. In which an audience which is not the target audience, Mainly the opposite to the targeted readers would in turn read the paper.
Along with the targeted audience, whom would genrally read the paper and its content out of general interst in its topics and format of news.

Run Fatboy Run

Run Fatboy Run



This film is a british romantic comedy. the storyline is about a guy named Dennis Doyle (Simon Pegg), who is the main character, they story is about Dennis and his life, he is a lazy individual, who takes any short cuts he can to avoid doing work. He is okay with the way his life is going till he finds out that a new man has come into the lives of his son an her mother(Dennis's ex fiannce, whom he left at the alter). He is aware of the competetion he poses as he is everything kevin is not, most of all being athletic. This gets Dennis's to comfront him, and challenge him to a marathon. So in all the film is about kevins quest to regain his family by ironickly being in a race to get fit for a race. this film involves many jokes and hillarious scenes suitable for the whole family.

There are different techniques used in this film to connote to its genre, for example. there is a clumsy affect used by the characters, by falling or stumbling. there is also a good use of fighting used in addition to the clumsyness as this makes the audience laugh.

The lighting used is bright to show the film is a fun and easy. the lighting doesnt need to be over the top as the film is mostly based during the day time.

The film is set in east london, to show the upper and lower class's of the area, as dennis is a lower class person, whereas his competition is an upper class business man.

The films equilibirum is when you see dennis and how he is after he left his fiannce at the alter.
The distruption is when the new guy comes into his ex fiannce an his sons life.
The recognition is when dennis realises what he has to do in order to win back his family.
The attempt to repair is him taking part in the race and not giving up.
The new equilibirum is when dennis gets a date with his ex fiannce, as she is giving him a second chance. this could set up for a sequel, as the audience would want to know what happens next.

Anchorage of a poster for the film.
Transformers 2: Revenge of the fallen

The poster has dark clouds at the top and bright lighting towards the bottom; this gives a binary opposition of good vs. evil, light vs. dark. Using this and the follow on for the title “revenge of the fallen” we can get an idea of what the film will be about.

Also we can see that in the picture, the lighting is used to show the woman (Megan fox) in a bright light, showing the viewers what side of the battle that she is on, although she does have a strong pose, maybe to suggest leadership. To coincide with this we can also see a boy (Shia Lebouf) form his expression and body language we can see that he looks afraid and almost ironically looking up towards the light for guidance. The boy is also carrying a cube; from this and his facial expressions we sense that the cube and the boy must be important to the storyline of this film.
In the image of the poster we can also see a robot (Optimus Prime), and the way he has been edited into the picture slightly behind the boy suggests almost as if he has a guardian or a protective role in the film. From seeing this we can tell who the 3 main characters in the film are.
Also at the top of the poster there is a slogan or catchphrase of some sort, which reads “more ALIEN ROBOTS, bigger EXPLOSIONS and much more Megan fox,” this is used in good effect as it is telling the viewer what to expect from the film. This seems to be slightly backed up in the image as it does have Megan fox in the image as the 1st thing you would see, and it includes fire to suggest the idea of explosions. It also includes 1 of the many robots that will be in the film.
It also has at the bottom of the poster when it will be coming out. It is cleverly done as it doesn’t give a date, but a season, so viewers, fans and people who would want to watch the film would have to follow the news of it and stay tuned to it. Keeping them interested and waiting for it to come out.
