Question 3

 radio producers such as the radio 1 live lounge target different audiences by using a large variety of music that will target and relate to a large variety of different ages such as pop, rock and country music that will interest a large community and age range. they also do this by giving certain artist a chance to come on the show and perform live that will interest people with interest of all genres and times. 

music producers such as the live lounge do this as they are a commercial  radio station that need to reach a wide range of audiences to get more companies to pay them to advertise there product to a certain target audience that they will have, while also meeting the remit given to them so they can reach all to most target audiences wanted to be advertised to by the companies in interest.

Music Industry Question 3

The question could be about radio or magazine.

1)The BBC need to provide a wider range of content than commercial radios because they need to meet the remit that expects them to provide entertainment and information for younger audiences aged 15-29 years old. They meet this remit by using young and popular artist that are interviewed on the live lounge that use young slang such as "sick" and "big up" to interest and attract younger audiences that will see the live lounge as something that they can relate to and have something in common with there favourite artist. The BBC also meet the remit by using up and coming artist or already know and loved artist to perform live on the live lounge such as recently with Stormzy performing live.while also creating and performing remixes and new versions of already famous songs performed by different but also loved artist to provide a wider range of audience to songs never heard before.The BBC also meet the remit by using a massive range of music played attracting people that love all different genres to watch the live lounge as it features not mostly one genre of music artist but a wide range of them to meet the remit and keep every fan of live lounge interested daily.The BBC also meets the remit by having every already popular or not popular artist perform live no matter what genre or type of music they play which could also be remix they do this to keep a wide range of fans happy and not just one genre being played more over the others just because of popularity showing audiences new songs they may be interested in.

Teenage dirtbag
the girl interest is presented as popular through the close ups and slow mo shots of her showing her importance to the school. it is represented as a typical American high school with the sports people being shown as bully through there clothes they wear and the low angle shots taken of them that show there size and popularity. the main character is represented as a looser through his clothes and the weird clothes he wears and the fact he is pushed around the corridor unlike the bully who everyone moves out of the ways for.

Skater boy
the main female character is shown as rebellious through the use of the illegal gig she sets up in the middle of the street on top of a car, stopping the traffic. she is shown as respected from the low angel shots taken of her almost like we are the fans. they are also seen to break many laws like graffitiing and littering. teenagers in skater boy are represented as reckless shown by the skater clothes they wear and the graffitiing and BMX riding inside the building and over the speed limit driving this is shown through the fast paced editing and low camera angles emphasising realism and there recklessness.

Question 3

1) in teenage dirtbag the main character is represented as a looser and is a victim to bullying they show this in the video through the use of representations of the characters as the bully who is seen to freely be able to walk through the hallway with every one moving out of the way of him showing his power and popularity. while the main character is barley able to get through the hall way without being pushed around and being called a looser by the other pupils.

Another way teenage dirtbag represents there main character is through Mise-en-scene because in the music video he is shown to wear pretty nerdy and unpopular clothes while every one else is shown to wear clothes that look nothing alike to his showing how he is represented as a unpopular outcast and a looser

While in skater boy the main character is represented as respected through the use of camera work as when she is playing the illegal gig the low angle from the hands held camera is used to represent her as someone to look up to while almost making the viewer feel like a fan watching her show showing the respect she is made to have. 

Another way the main character is represented like this in teenage dirtbag is through the use her clothing as she is seen to wear skater clothes that a lot of the other characters are seen to wear as-well showing the respect she is given as they all follow her style and the way she is dresses showing the respect she is given by the other characters in the music video almost representing her as there leader.

LO: to explore the exam style questions and practice exam technique for Q4 focusing on media language and representation.

Q4: Analyse the representation of musicians in the extract from Mojo Magazine?

Black and white colour pallet may show seriousness and old classical music. the close up image of the magazine can show the facial expression and in which will reveal their emotion. the Lexus "arise" and "dark knight" "surviving" and "saving his soul" which shows a depressive element to the artist while also showing he has had a troubled past that he maybe questioning.

The Musician in the Mojo magazine is represented as mysterious and to of had a troubled past this is represented through the use of Lexus on the magazine the says "dark knight" and "surviving" that represented him as mysterious and to have a bad past only just surviving it. The use of colour in the magazine further represents this through the bland and mysterious black and white colour palette most likely showing how bland and troubled his past was. The use of camera work reinforces this by using a mid close up shot that shows his bland and straight face further show his mysterious representation and how he has been scared from his past.

Analyse the representation of age or gender in the extract form mojo magazine?

the man is dressed up in a suit with a serious face showing him as masculine and serious while also the magazine having a free cd called murder ballads further showing the male masculine representation of violence and seriousness/sophisticate.

 

The representation of males in the mojo magazine are seen to be shown through the use of camera and mis-en-scene because the mid-close up angles of the male artist represent men as sophisticated and serious which can be seen through his facial expressions showing seriousness. the mise-en-scene expands on this as he is seen to be wearing a suit and tie representing men as sophisticated and smart while also showing masculine traits. finally the use of the cd ties this up as the title of the album "Murder Ballads" represents men further as masculine and violent while also being shown as serious and sophisticated.

2. mid shot
3. yellow and warm colours and saturated almost golden gives us the idea of wealth and respected.
4. san-serif modern and clean masthead that is lower case, colloquial, relaxed and informal.

2. Mid shot with 4 males (a band). with no direct address to the audience. lack of sexualisation of men.
3. saturated and bright rainbow spread colours reflecting the physchadelic  nature of the 1970s and 60s.
4. they both have similar fonts because there both san-serif modern but instead of lower case image 2 has upper case lettering almost shouting about music showing a sophisticated interest in music.
5. the layout is very different as it is much more cluttered layout that is packed and overloaded with lots of information with 8 different cover lines doubling images 1.

1) Media language is used differently in these two different magazines through there use of their layout as in the. first billboard magazine they have a very simple and modern layout that is not cluttered at all and is very open and only containing 4 cover lines showing a very relaxed and formal layout which shows the way the artist is represented as royalty and show to be respected through the use of layout in the mojo magazine. which is very different to mojos magazine as it is very cluttered and filled with information and has doubled that amount of cover lines in the billboard magazine containing four cover lines having a very packed and overflowing with information magazine. In conclusion these 2 different pieces of media are representing two completely different things by using different layouts but they do have some similarity's shown through the typography using both san-serif and formal fonts.
