Genre research task

Genre research Task 1. The genre i have picked is Horror.'The NUN'.  2. In horror films there is a lot of interesting content which engages readers to continue watching the rest of the episodes. The characters are dressed in dark gloom colours for example black, red, dark blue. The theme would be protection of the innocent, the settings in Horror films are in a haunted house or set at night time to create a much more vicious scene building tension.

Analysing Hawaii Five-O

Analysing Hawaii Five-O 1.   The features in Hawaii Five-o which suggested TV crime drama were the change of the lighting and how it was similar to what was going on in the episode. For example, when the lighting went dark it suggested that something major was going to happen. Another feature in the programme which suggested TV crime drama is how the setting changed quickly. For example, when the setting was loud and crowded this is when the shooting would begin.Another feature in the programme which created a sense of TV crime drama is the sound effects and how the characters were acting fast. For example, when there was a high pitch of volume something sinister was about to happen or when there is a high mysterious sound effects this denotates someone is about to get killed.   2.   The subgenre in Hawaii Five-O is action, mystery and adventure as there is a lot of murder and fighting going on.

However, if the text was taken away the image has nothing to do with chocolate. This image clearly anchors that Galaxy chocolate can make you look silk and something amazing to eat. This open text advert illustrates that having a Galaxy chocolate can bring you into the world of happiness and brightness.

Analysis on magazine front covers

An example of Male Gaze is the way this models shot has been taken close up over the models ...
