To analyse a computer game cover - talk about the genre, audience and issue of representation. The gaming cover for Battlefield 3 allows those who are going to buy the game what is going to be included and what it is about - this is to persuade people to buy it. The gaming cover uses several colours such as  blacks, greys and oranges. The black and white colours makes the gam seem serious as well as showing that it is set at night - the small pop of orange could present fire or inner anger.  The main character in the image is a male who is holding a large machine gun which connotes he is evil and the game is going to be very violent (it is likely to be ages at 18 because of the violence and strong language used). The strong, muscular man is walking towards the camera and he is making direct mode of address which makes him seem serious and some what scary; he seems in power because of the cargo gear he is wearing which also makes him seem masculine and in...

Task -  Research and find out which  organisation  is responsible for  regulation  of the content of British newspapers , and how you make a complaint about  accuracy or offensive  content in a newspaper. The Press Complaints Commission (PCC) was a voluntary regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, consisting of representatives of the major publishers.

Fast and furious 8 trailer The trailer for fast and furious 8 shows the pure thrill and action that will come from their 8 th movie in the franchise. It makes sure to include several main characters who are celebrities such as Dwayne the Rock Johnson, who has been in the films since Fast 5, Jason Statham, who was the villain in the previous film however in this one he joins the team and other key stars such as Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Michelle Gibson and more.  The trailer itself is very generic for a trailer, starting with a city scape and jumping straight into all the action. It shows the main parts of the film without giving away too much which overall persuades people to watch the film. Since it is in a franchise people may presume you need to watch the other films to understand the new one however it’s not the case as there is enough background in the film/trailer for people to get the gist of what is going on. At the start of the trailer there is a wide shot that slo...
