regulation of social media and the affects it has on the younger generation

for my statement for intent i am going to try and regulate social media as the media of big companies store many of our private data like Facebook and snapchat. these companies are dangerous due to the private data they collect as they could cause a lot of damage and these companies contribute to many peoples lives as technology advances on. for my products i am wanting to write an article on the breach of privacy that occurred over a six month period starting at 7 June, 2018 and 4 December, 2018. this data i collected off of the bbc article website

i want to write a article on the regulations that should be put in place and to raise awareness of social media and the consequences of these breaches of privacy and the affects they have on people.

in my article i will start off with talking about Facebooks breach of privacy agreement and the ways that the breach affected peoples lives and how stolen data can lead to identity theft,and so on. After i talk about that i would then talk about how the companies should regulate themselfs to prevent this from happening

for my second product I will create a billboard that will have a hashtag #KeepYourDataSafeAwareness this way it can be linked to a social media post in order to gain more attention to it after the billboard will have company logos on it like a collage of logos like Facebook, twitter, etc

in my movie, it will be set in rural japan and where Two brothers one named Shisui and the other named Tsuki their family of honourable samurai played a big part of their life they both wished to be samurai, so they trained together lifting each other up as they reached their goal. As their father had fallen sick the brothers grew distant as they both set off in separate ways to find help for their father without any luck, they returned empty handed without any medicine the brothers blamed their fathers passing onto each other they split into different locations one went to a little island called Iki of the western coast of japan

for my film I took inspiration from the movie the last samurai which was made in 2003 who featured tom cruise and Billie Connolly the movie in summary is Captain Nathan Algren is hired to train the Japanese army to fight a Samurai rebellion. However, he ends up embracing the people of Samurai culture after he gets captured by them.

Media Audiences

Information from the board about audience for you to reflect upon:

1. Look at the advertising campaigns (trailers, websites at home and abroad) for your chosen CSP TV series and think about how media producers target, attract and potentially construct audiences across local, national and global scales.
2. This means that different audiences interpretations reflect social, cultural and historical circumstances – which provide an insight into audience similarities and differences across local, national and global audiences.
3. The production, distribution and exhibition of many television shows how audiences can be reached, both on a national and global scale, through different media technologies and platforms, moving from the national to transnational through broadcast and digital technologies.

public service broadcasting

public service broadcasting is a multi-media platform that is open to the public and that the forms of media are different such as raidio and television its purpose is for world wide publishing for the the public and not commercial which is limited to the select view its a media that cultures to its audience eg the public

The public service ethos of the BBC to inform, entertain and educate is something that we should fiercely protect and fund properly

Curran and Seaton talks about the UK media is under control of a handful of global media conglomerates. they also talk about the short lifespan of media due to the money that is needed and is driven by the twin forces creativity and business and the thin line that seperates the two

letter to the free is a social political cultural prostest song similar to the ghost town nea that we did although this song focuses on the inequality of the social stading between races and how the past shapes a bleak future.. the abolishment of slavery came withan uprise of discrimination even they were just people like we are people the song tries to tear back the curtains on the dark past of history and to make it known and seen and to make an example of what we can not go back to.. the black and white pictures of the vidioe represent the white americans and black americans and the clash between the two shades create a grey area within the subject

COMMON –

Common, byname of Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr., (born March 13, 1972, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.), American hip-hop artist, actor, and activist who became a mainstream success in the early 21st century, known for intelligent and positive lyrics that were performed in a spoken-word style. He was the first rapper to win a Grammy Award, an Academy Award, and an Emmy Award.

the lyrics quote I used

Instead of ‘nigga’ they use the word ‘criminal’
Sweet land of liberty, incarcerated country
Shot me with your ray-gun
And now you want to trump me
Prison is a business, America’s the company

the lyrics suggest that slavery is just under a new name and the old terms we use to use has been replaced with something different although they have the same meaning they created the prison business in order to gain the power they lost after slavery and The 13th amendment to the United States Constitution provides that “Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.” saying that slavery is okay if they did something wrong first as if we are still in the same old mindset that is really dated and old. the trump me is where the make America great again but for who and how is this great America going to affect the minority’s that are within their jurisdiction are they going to be as slave but under a new name a criminal for they aren’t white and they are different to them makes them a criminal?

We staring in the face of hate again
The same hate they say will make America great again
No consolation prize for the dehumanized
For America to rise it’s a matter of Black Lives

this quote highlights the dehumanisation of slavery and that they are not human and are being dehumanised by all the hate and the subjugation of those who still live in the past and the thought of black lives are less than a pipe dream for greatness and the black lives that are layed down and used are for the greater good for the best america… but for who does this great america suppor those who are white and those in power or the equality of black people and white people..

POST-COLONIALISM

The genre may be considered as a practical device for helping any mass medium to produce consistently and efficiently and to relate its production to the expectations of its customers. Since it is also a practical device for enabling individual media users to plan their choices, it can be considered as a mechanism for ordering the relations between the two main parties to mass communication. – Dennis McQuail 1987, p. 200

definition of genre – a style or category of art, music, or literature

genre rests around the relationship of similarity’s and differences/the same and opposite

jybrid genre where two or more genres are in within one subject eg: comedy horror

genre is important to institutions and audiences they are about expecting and innovative things creating reactionary and radical products

. . . saddled with conventions and stereotypes, formulas and
clichés and all of these limitations were codified in specific genres. This was the very foundation of the studio system and audiences love genre pictures . . . the institutional impact upon the genre is that it means that things are the same but different due to the limitations could be the way its made or the budget/money in order to produce the genre always making it different and the way the genre is codified within itself and certain things are made because of it etc

Ed Boscombe notes that the ‘kind’ or ‘type’ of film is usually recognised “and largely determined by the nature of its conventions” (1986 p. 15). In other words, the textual nature of the media production. To understand the way in which textual analysis is used to define the genre of a media product, look at any extract from any film.

paul gilroy coined the word ‘racial otherness’ and how this racial otherness caused stigmatisation within the black community.

he also shifts his gaze upon the post british industialism as well as the ‘colonial melencholia’ as a result of englands decline within their global pressence this is a result of WWII

Gilroy’s study of ‘there is no black in the union jack’ where he discusses the post war wave of immigration also known as the wind rush generation this lead to a series of anxiety’s and the rising suspicion that England will be ‘swamped ‘ and that there is no longer a ‘white Brittan’ the rise of these suspicions lead to subjugation upon the black community and the rise of riots and inequality and the rise of neo’ Nazis’ and ‘paki bashers’ the cause of all the turmoil started with the colonial melancholia where people chose to rise against the immigrants taking ‘white British jobs’ and the rise of steady unemployment surfaced the riots and the band the specials created a vision of multiculturalism where they took reggae with pop and turned it into something new called ska a new music of cultural reggae and a mixture of pop creating a unity of the races.

My film synopsis

within my film i will have a out going teenager who has many friends and family although feels alone within the company he has with him he feels a lack luster of emotions that over whelm him so i will have my character within a large crowded area but a spot light shining up on my character to represent loneliness and that he is in company but alone the contrast in the two will create a sense of emotional anguish and sadness within the first image(?) my character will be facing away from the crowd as my main character is by himself and the back ground characters are talking amongst themselves although around his family he is saddened. For my second image i will have my character within company but he is facing his family with new faces and he has got a happy expression in comparison to the first image his clothes will be a little bit more brighter than the ones in the image before showing that he is taking care of himself.

Todorov

Tztevan Todorov proposed the idea of a Tripartite narrative structure, which breaks down narrative structures into having a beginning, middle and end. He describes these as Equilibrium, Disruption and New Equilibrium.

Equilibrium – State of calmness, things are okay.

Disruption – When something drastic occurs and the protagonist has to reroute his actions in order to solve it.

New Equilibrium – The new state after the disruption has been solved.

Unreliable Narration – Deliberately deceiving audiences and providing plots that reveal unexpected moments.

Frame Stories – Stories told inside of other stories, testing the narrative structure by presenting nested moments of equilibrium and new equilibrium.

Multiperspective narratives – Using viewpoints of different characters and perspectives in a story, and so presenting equilibrium as disruption in another person’s eyes.

Vladimir Propp

Propp’s work suggests that stories use STOCK CHARACTERS to structure stories. This doesn’t mean that the characters are the sae every time, but all stories draw on familiar characters performing similar functions to provide familiar narrative structures. This is important because it means that the products created become reactionary, and sales are more guaranteed in a “risky business” such as the media and creative industry. Examples of stock characters are:

1. Hero
2. Helper
3. Princess
4. Villain
5. Victim
6. Dispatcher
7. Father
8. False Hero

Often there is a villain who has done something to a victim. This means that we need a hero, who (often) accompanied by a helper is sent out (by a dispatcher) to fight the villain. The dispatcher or similar donor (such as a father figure) prepares the hero in his ‘quest‘ and gives the hero some magical object. The hero generally meets the princess as part of his quest / journey which usually provides a happy ending. During the narrative we (and the princess) may be presented by a false hero.

LEVI – STRAUSS

Levi strause talks about binary oppostites as in the good and bad the positive and the negative. this  encourages students to understand narrative as a structure of key (oppositional) themes that underpin action and dialogue to develop a set of messages that the audience are able to decode and understand. this creates a dominant message (ideology) of a film, TV programme, advert, music video, animation etc. So in this way audiences are encouraged to make a judgements about characters, groups, places, history, society. texts can be seen to either support the dominant ideologies of a society, which would make it a reactionary text ,or to challenge, question or undermines the dominant ideologies of society, in which case it could be seen as a radical text.

the movie blinded by the light made by new line cinema in association with warner brothers. the movie rides its popularity of  Bruce Springsteen’s music and popularity for their publicity as well as using posters, film festivals and trailers. there are many things that make this a good film for that they have the use of genre, nostalgia, identity, social consciousness which can apply to many people young and old making it a content for everyone to watch. the company distributed their product via VODS( Video on Demand)
