- mise en scene: little seaside village/town: Cornwall - lots of hardworking people/farmers - farmer accent - Doc Martin : posh, easily irritated - Cornish people: relaxed, calm, not bothered by a lot - small community, connected, Policeman already knew who Doc Martin was - very relaxed town, not much happening - high key lighting: typical grey day - Doc Martin : dressed in suit - Everyone else is casually dressed or wearing Farmer outfits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gfYWZzaTBI)

the advert for 'Visit England' is full of a variety of different things for everyone, including: shopping in London, festivals, small villages, football, castles, hiking and Stonehenge, etc. - shows theres something for everyone - 'you're invited' is repeated throughout; showing a sense of inclusivity  talking to the person watching directly and making England feel welcome - Action Match (continuity) editing; flows into another picture (almost zooming out); shows connection, possibly linking to England, Wales and Scotland being connected, plus Northern Ireland.   - shows only good things of England - non-diegetic soundtrack: welcoming, upbeat, inspiring (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hL9yDOK48A)

Examples from Films and TV Shows Match On Action:  the movement of the man's arm is being used in this match on action shot; it shows the man's reaction, the man's arm reaching forwards and then the continuation of the man's arm taking the piece of paper away from the woman's face. Continuity:  examples of continuity editing are; eyeline match, 180 degree rule, shot reverse shot and match on action Montage:  a series of shots edited together to show time passing, or something happening in that time; below is the opening scene to Hot Fuzz, which shows a montage of what the main character did to become the police officer he is now (his academic history). 180 Degree Rule:  during a scene featuring two people, we imagine a line which joins those two characters together; this allows the audience to feel more comfortable. Jump Cutting:  a cut that moves to a very similar part of the same scene but missing a piece of action; in th...

Beyonce: Formation Music Video - on top of the beginning of the police car at the beginning, shows that she is above the law or thinks that she is - references to hot sauce/cornbread/wigs: all basic stereotypes of black people but she represents them in a positive light - proud of them - links to police brutality: 'stop shooting us', all the police are white men, reference to all the shootings happening in America on a daily basis - links to the New Orleans flooding in 2005: all black community, extremely poor: government didn't respond to the help needed, many people were injured and died: took days/weeks to get any help: people called the government out for being racist as if it was a white community help would have been there straight away: Kanye West called George Bush out on live TV: "George Bush hates black people" - old Antebellum dresses worn by plantation owner's wives: Beyonce wears them throughout the music video: also the h...

Iconography: - at least one character is killed in the movie: they are usually left so the other character's can find them and figure out what is going on: this results in a chase - blood is usually always included in horror films: it makes it look realistic - masks are used to create mystery: we don't know who the person actually is and so we wouldn't be able to recognise the person, leaving them faceless and unrecognisable (could be anyone) - often serial killers have a weapon of choice , special and chosen by them - screaming : haunting, creates fear and panic in the audience - houses are often used in horror movies: creates more fear as the location is more realistic: can happen to anyone Setting/Mise-en-scene: - often abandoned/deserted places : mental asylums and old warehouses - also houses are used very often used: for the whole film or featured somewhere - many of the buildings have a dark history : murders/ghost stories - start off...

moral panic - a feeling of fear that is spread among a large number of people that some evil threatens the wellbeing of society.  ( when a media source shows an idea over and over again that people see it so much and start to believe it) there is a stereotypical representation of young people within the media. this idea is portrayed in so many different ways, like drug use, gangs, teenage pregnancy, violence, etc, and adults see all of this and create a negative view of teenagers in their minds, although not every single teenager is like this. the reason this happens is because adults do not know teenagers personally unless they have teenage children, thus they believe the media (especially newspapers) when they write articles about how bad teenagers are.  in the newspaper, the title says 'ice hits schools' - meaning adults will read this and think meth will be in every school ever. 

uses the stereotypical view of teenage pregnancy - relates to the fact that they were risky/reckless/not using protection - relates to their lifestyle (in relation to spending money, driving recklessly, etc) means people can't trust them? however the fact that teenage pregnancy happens could be the fact that adults do not give enough knowledge or give enough support - means that theres not easy access to protection that teenagers can get without the help of adults - not good enough education about sex in schools/colleges  adults view teenage pregnancy as a bad thing as they don't believe they are capable of taking care of a baby as well as themselves - they see it as the teenager is ruining their own life (although this could be true, a lot of young mums have done extremely well and have both focused on themselves, their children and their lives with help and support from family and friends) - it's those who do not get the help and support that they then...
