CADGE : AGE

TEENS
Teens are represented very differently in the media compared to other ages.They are shown as being very aggressive and dangerous to the community and not having any respect or dignity towards others.

An example of this dates back to 2011 when a police officer killed a teen because he thought that he had a weapon on him. that teen that was murdered was Mark Duggan. The death of this teen caused roots in London and many other parts of England. The media portrayed Mark as being a dangerous person and a killer. the picture that they showed of him on the tv was of him screwing but it was actually on the top half of the picture, they had cut the bottom half off and why? see for your selves.

this was the picture that the media showed 


but this was the whole picture



ELDERLY
The elderly are portrayed in the media as being very innocent and harmless and so very sweet.
The media shows the general public that we should take care of our elderly and not harm them and treat them in the right way. from a young a age the media has taught us that we should respect the elderly because of their age and the condition that they are in and how fragile and ill they are.

The media portrays the elderly as very clumsy and not being able to take care of themselves. it shows us that the elderly are weak and need looking after. that is for sure not the case. There many people that are in their late 60's , 70's and 80's that are very capable of taking care of themselves as you can see here...


What the media shows



Not always the case










camera shots




match on action
either an action commenced in shot A is completed in shot B, or an action in shot A is mirrored by an action in shot B, for example when we cut from character A in location A reading a letter to character B in location B reading the same letter. 
This creates the impression of a sense of continuity- the action of carrying through creates a ''visual bridge'' which draws the viewers attention away from the slight cutting or continuity issues. Match on action portrays a continuous sense of the same action rather than matching two separate things.
























shot reverse shot
Shot reverse shot is a film technique where one character is shown looking at another character, and then the other character is shown looking back at the first character. Since the characters are shown facing in opposite directions, the viewer assumes that they are looking at each other.
A shot showing what the character is supposedly looking at either a point of view or over the shoulder shot is followed by a reverse angle shot of the character themselves looking at it, or of the other character looking at them.






















180 degree rule
In film making, the 180-degree rule is a basic guideline regarding the on-screen spatial relationship between a character and another character or object within a scene.
This allows the audience to have a greater sense of location in the scene in terms of what may be off screen in some shots for example in shot reverse shots.

my jellybaby project

establishment shot 
this shot is used to set the scene and show the audience what they need to see and what to expect from the movie. we used this shot to set the tone of what the movie is all about and this shot allows the audience to see what the characters in the movie are like and what type of circumstance they are in. this shot creates a sense of desperation and tension during the opening of our movie.


overhead shot
here we have here is a shot the confrontation between the survivors. this allows the audience to see every aspect of what is going on during this scene. we chose this because it allows the audience to both the survivors and the zombies. this shot makes the audience feel worried and scared for the survivors because they are in a very difficult predicament.

over-shoulder shot

this shot here allows the audience to focus on the survivors and the zombie that is eating one of the jelly babies in the background. this shot allows the audience to see the full picture, the shock that has struck the jelly babies as they watch in dispare their friend being slaughtered by the zombie.


                                                                      reverse shot
this shot allows the audience to see what the jelly babies are staring at and they are up against.this shot  makes the audience feel sympathy for the jell babies because in this shot the zombies look much larger and scarier than the jell babies, the group of survivors look innocent and harmless compared the much larger and overpowering zombies. by showing that the jelly babies are afraid of death they throw the weakest one as bait so they can escape.


high angle shot

this shot allows the audience to see all of what is going on between the survivors and the zombies. this shot shows the zombies enjoying their pray. they are seen here eating away at one of the jelly babies. within this shot we don't see the facial expression on the jelly babies faces but we see that they have scared still, the sight of death in front of their faces really terrified them.


low angle shot
this shot shows the shear fear on the faces on the jelly babies. we can see here the survivors running for there lives because they can't take it any more and the bravery that they had before has been completely wiped of their faces. they have realised that they is no chance in surviving against these horrific zombies.
