The two different pop videos I have chosen are "The Killers - Mr. Brightside" and I have also chosen "Justin Timberlake - Cry Me a River." The Killers are from the rock/indie genre
Comparing two different pop videos from two different genres The two different pop videos I have chosen are "The Killers - Mr. Brightside" and I have also chosen "Justin Timberlake - Cry Me a River." The Killers are from the rock/indie genre and Justin Timberlake is cross genre of pop/rnb. I have chosen the two videos because both of the videos are about cheating on their partners, whereas cry me a river was meant to be an attack on Britney for cheating on Justin Timberlake, Mr. Brightside is how he is feeling well watching his girlfriend cheat on him. The two videos that I have chosen are different from each other, Cry me a river includes lots of special effects and CGI, such as glass smashing, and Justin Timberlake being able to hover around and jump very high Cry me a river has similar aspects to Mr. Brightside, mainly because they focus on the woman problems that they are both having, however Justin Timberlake instead of moving on he decides to get his own back on his ex-girlfriend. Justin Timberlake is also meant to depressed because of finding out his girlfriend is cheating, this is why his outfit is totally black, which is a signifying his sorrow. This video features an event, which is Justin Timberlake breaking into his ex-girlfriend's house, and then video taping him kissing another girl on his girlfriend's bed, which he then leaves on the TV screen to his
Analysing How Steven Spielberg Creates Tension and Suspense in Jaws
Analysing How Steven Spielberg Creates Tension and Suspense in Jaws The essay is about analysing the ways the director builds suspense and scares the audience I shall explain the effects of the following: Sound and music, camera shots, red herrings and tension in the plot. I will also include a conclusion and will give my vies on the scariest moment of the film and provide my reasons for this The film is called Jaws. We get some idea of what the movie is about by this title. Steven Spielberg directed the film. The story involves a series of attacks on swimmers by a great white shark. The effects of the shark attacks threaten the future of the resort's tourist business, and. Finally, there is an epic attempt by three men to track the shark and kill it. The film is set in a fictional place called Amity Island in 1975. The film begins with a title sequence, which last for approximately two minutes. We get a point of view shot; this is where we see a camera shot of what a character or, in this case shark can see. This includes music; the music is deep and slow; it eventually builds up to be quite fast and heart throbbing. The music indicates to us that something is in the water. As the music builds up to a crescendo, the shot dramatically cuts to a beach party with a happier atmosphere. It is happier because of the soft harmonica and because we, as an audience know
Music and Us.
Demrtshyan Gevorg English 101 Final Draft Music and Us There are so many categories of music that one can be confused by just looking at the list. In the world full of music instrumental music has its place, which cannot be occupied by any other type of music. Although it is great for some people, it might be unpleasant for others, but still, it has lived longer than any other type of music, therefore it has its own greatness. Instrumental music has no lyrics or anything related with words. It's just a combination of sounds that come from a man made instrument consisting of wood and wire. It has no style of clothing, it doesn't tell the listener to do certain things and it doesn't show the control of one thing over another. It doesn't have a strong influence on the listener. That's what other types of music lack. For example, when one watches videos of rap music, he mostly sees low rider cars, gamblers, singers' personal history reflected in the video and their lifestyle. The same with rock n roll videos. There one could expect to see screaming crowds of teenagers, wearing the same clothes as the singers, having their names of the singers tattooed on them, having lots of piercings and mostly there is violence involved there. Their fans are influenced by them just like a drug addict. In other words the audience for that kind of music is bound to it. That's what
The 1960's - source related study
Paul Cook 11L1 27th August 2004 Assignment 2 and 3: Analysing the Sixties What Can you learn from Source A about the impact of the Beatles in the 1960's? Source A states that in 1964, The Beatles were infamous, they were everything of the time. The country stood still if anything to do with The Beatles was happening. The source states that "instead of the evening rush hour an extraordinary silence and emptiness had descended upon London, on England, on Britain." This statement is a bold one, basically saying that the Beatles were every British person's favourite band. Most certainly an overstatement but definitely a widespread feeling felt by many in the 60's. Joanna Lumley's source A is an animated, descriptive piece that paints the picture almost of 1964. She describes in detail, the feelings and emotions of Beatles fans: "John, Paul, George and Ringo being cool, hip, smart, lippy, charming and funny. It was very heaven to be alive." I think that this explains well that the Beatles' impact on the 60's was huge. I think that the source also describes how the 60's was moving with the times very quickly, maybe even in some cases ahead of it's time. The music, of the Beatles and other bands, was very influential, still influencing people nowadays. If the 60's really was how Joanna Lumley
How Can Music Effect a Teenager's Life?
How Can Music Effect a Teenager's Life? Not everyone who listens to music with a lot of negative lyrics will kill themselves or kill others. There will be some people who will, however. It would be the same with a song about a person who gave away all of his money and belongings and moved to Calcutta, India to help people who lived in the slums (an overcrowded house). Not everyone who listened to that song would follow the example in the song. However, there might be a number of people who listened to the song who could be "touched", even slightly, by the message in the song. My belief is that you are growing up in a time where much of the music that you hear around you is more negative than it is positive. That would explain why so many of the lyrics in the songs in your collection are negative. I cannot in the least blame you. This is the music you are growing up with. This is what other people have to offer you. How can music effect a teenager's life? Music can help a person experience any number of different feelings: sadness, joy, anger, frustration, love, and hatred. A person might listen to an angry song, and it could possibly put in them an anger that was not noticed by them before. Depending on who you are, this could be a good thing or not so good. Perhaps the person needed to uncover that anger, could understand it. Then again, another person could just
Describe the growth of teenage culture in the USA in the period 1955-75.
Describe the growth of teenage culture in the USA in the period 955-75 The average teenager was very different in 1955, to that of 1975. During the 1950's young white middle class people had a lot more money to spend on themselves than any other generation. They were unquestionably better off than young people in other countries and indeed than what their parents had been during the years of the great Depression. Companies were starting to reply with products that were specifically targeted at them and 'teenage fads' were starting to become a lot more profitable. Teenager's annual spending power had increased by 15 million dollars between 1950 - 1959. After the war 75% of high school boys between the ages of 16-17 owned a car. So this obviously meant that the car would play a very important role in young peoples lives for years to come. Teenagers now had far more leisure time and a lot more spending money. Youth Culture was taking on a new direction. Transistor radios, magazines and rock 'n' roll records were starting to boom with sales. In the late 40's noisy teenagers called Bobbysoxers appeared. They astounded their parents by fainting at Frank Sinatra concerts. Their neighbours were starting to get fed up with them playing their records so loudly. This maybe could have been the start to the growth in teenage culture. In 1956, Elvis Presley was established as being
Rock Festival
Rock Festival As I walked through the gate I could hear the buzz of chatter. The smell of the food stalls wafted through the air. As I moved closer I could see the stage it was about 10 metres wide and about 5 in width. Almost everywhere people were seiging in to the camp. There were loads of music stores with all kinds of music. As the time passed people started to move towards the stage to try and get a good view. Suddenly the chatter died down and the announcer appeared on stage and introduced the first band which were s club seven to sing reach, as they got on stage there were quite a few boo's and hisses but by the end they were cheered off the stage. The rock festival went on and was thoroughly enjoyed by the audience. Finally after four hours of music the announcer came on stage and announced 'the mystery band' everyone had been waiting for "and now" said the announcer "to finish off this festival its Eminm" there were cheers and he went on stage. First he rapped 'my name is' and then ' I don't give a f***' and finally to round up a brilliant festival he rapped 'brain damage'. When he had finished he threw copies of his first and second album out to the crowd. A buzz of chatter rippled through the audience and people finally started to get up. I went to the other facilities while I waited for the queue to get out of the gate died down. I wondered around and before I
The Impact of File Sharing
Introduction The aim of this coursework is to try to define the how the innovation of file sharing technology will affect the future of the music industry. In this project I will present a number of different responses to this innovation which have taken place and I will give my opinion on what I consider the most suitable way to respond to change so a company can gain competitive advantage through this innovation. For this coursework a have used a number of different primary and secondary sources. I have consulted recent news based on responses to file sharing innovation from different newsgroups (Reuters, Europa Press, etc) and I have looked for reports from analysts specialized in Internet and communication. As primary source, I have sent e-mails to Mark Mulligan - specialist analysts of Jupiter MMXI (analysts) -, a couple of music groups and Napster from which I only received a response from Napster (Appendix 1). In addition, I have carried out a survey to find out how many people use file sharing web sites and what they consider as the main reason for using these sites and how they think the cost of music varies this (see appendix 3). In my opinion, it very important that recording companies and the music industry in general respond flexibly and rapidly to change because if they don't, not only will consumers be less happy but other companies might do so and hence add
Discuss the narrative techniques used by Hitchcock to set the scene for the audience in 'Rear Window'.
Discuss the narrative techniques used by Hitchcock to set the scene for the audience in 'Rear Window'. Stuart Graham 10W1 L.B. Jeffries is a high-class magazine photographer for what seems to be a worldwide publication. In Alfred Hitchcock's 'Rear Window', he is a temporarily wheelchair-bound man and his voyeuristic side appears later on in the film. 'Rear Window' depicts a 20th century New York in which fraudsters, murderers and salesmen all live alongside each other. The story describes a man who broke his leg during a photography assignment. He is, for the time being, stuck in a wheelchair with nothing to do but look at the neighbours through his 'Rear Window'. He hasn't seen the light of day since seven weeks ago. Rear Window is one of Alfred Hitchcock's most memorable films. L.B. Jeffries becomes engrossed in voyeurism, which carries on throughout the film. James Stewart, in one of his most unforgettable roles, represents a photographer with a broken leg, who amuses himself by casually spying on the neighbours. All of the windows he peers into presents a glimpse of relationships, in which the men and women are poles-apart, the newlyweds who can't get themselves off of each other, the crooked salesman, the forlorn musician. These become mirrors into his mind, reflecting his apprehension he feels about his bond with the fashion-writer Lisa Carol Fremont who wants him

Gladiator Media assignment I am going to watch the film Gladiator by Ridly Scott. I hope to accurately describe and analyse how the director creates a feeling of tension, suspense and how overall he makes the film believable. I will not analyse the whole film, but just two of the scenes. The two scenes I have chosen are the first scene the battle of Germania and the last scene the death of the evil Emperor. The points I am most likely to focus on are the camera angles, sound effects, music, the acting and the shots, also I will describe how the two scenes were made to be realistic with the aid of computer effects. I will now briefly run through the plot of the story. The film starts on the battle of Germania. The Romans win this and have a big party, during this party Maximums is asked to be the emperor of Rome instead of the current emperors son. Maximus refuses the Emperors generous offer. But the Emperor tells Comodeus, his son that he will not rule Rome. Comodeus kills his own farther to take the throne. Comodeus, the new Emperor, kills Maximus's wife, son and burns his home, he also arranges for Maximus to be killed. Maximus escapes being killed and returns to his home to find his wife and son murdered. Maximus is then captured as a slave and sold to an entertainer who makes him fight as a gladiator, he has a few fights and stuns the audience. Meanwhile the emperor
