Analyse 2 School magazines of Print Media Terms

Parent and School. This is the name of the school and we see that as headline of the Magazine cover in Red and have embellished the word Parent. At the foreground we see a teenager who learned and use a telescope. In the background we see a ambiguous 2 woman's who talk. The one woman symbolize the teacher and the other woman should be are the mother. Below the cover we see some information about the school. The words are in different sizes. Of the cover we see below left the label from the school. down right we could can see the release day from this magazine. In the summaries have the magazine cover nothing special. A Picture, a Headline, some Information, embellished words and the label from the school. Very usual for a school magazine.







The King's School. This school magazine has of his front cover a guy who stay askance and look direct in the camera. Behind him is a school building from the King's school. Above the cover stay the Headline from the magazine. Above right we see the label from the school. Of this magazine cover stay the information of the right side. Above the picture the sky it either foggy or makes with Photoshop. But never is the sky so bright.
Above the cover of the left side we see the cover price and below left is the barcode. Of the right side stay some information about the prom 2010. The sentence to the prom are big, short and looks good of the front cover. I think just the sentence below the cover looks very bad because the colour don't convenient of the front cover. So also the button who stay News! and 80p!. In the summaries looks the front cover very cool and have a lot of information. Just the colours I didn't like.

Analyse 2 School Magazines

Parent and School: With the help from the magazin cover we can 

similarly see what for a school it is. To the first we can see the headline where stay: Parent and School. This school advertise that parents more to get in on school as just going of parents teacher conference. I don't really knowed how that function because i can just say what stay of the cover, but i think that the parents here more collaborate how parents from other school. We see also of the cover that the school is very strict in the thinks girls and boy. By this school there have just Boys-only Classes, how we can see below the cover. The school promise that the childrens learn very fast and have many science lessons. Also promise the school that the children have after here graduation a wonderful future. My conclusion: This school is for childrens there will not be happy when this boys or girls go of this school. Why? To severe. No child of this world will have his parent by his school.

The King's School: This school look how a typically boarding school in england. The King's School is a school where you learn, make much sport and learn also to behave yourself. The Magazin have tipps and tricks to help you by exam stress and have finally success. After them write the school magazine that the school has announce the new picture from the last prom. After them explain the school magazins if the disciple must wear or not. Below the magazin we see a little information about the canteen. Maybe offer the canteen doughnuts for everbody. The school magazin you get for just 80p! Above of the right side we see also the emblem from the school. How in the Shebbear college you can deside between you would just going here of this school or also going here of this school and live of the King's School.
My conclusion: The King's School is how a textbook example. Not really specialy. How we knowed from 100 other boarding schools in England.

Semiology

                                          

The aims of this Factsheet are to

- introduce the concept of semiology and show how it can be used to assist with analysis and evaluation of media texts

- define key semiological terminology and provide examples of their use within a media studies context

Denotation and Connotation

1. Dennotation is the literal meaning/description of a word/object
  -The ´no naked flame´ sign consists of a red circle with a diagonal bar through it and an image of a lit match

2. Connotations are the associated that are made when interpreting a sign
 - Red is a colour associated with danger

An Example Brokeback Mountain Film Poster

This picture denotes the following:

- A mountain range and a forest on the horizon across the centre of the image

-The reflections of the mountains and the forest in a lake or river

Ideology

The aims of this Factsheet are to provide:

1. A definition of Ideology with key terms.

2. Methods to help you identify ideology in a media text

3. Examples of how to evaluate ideologies in a media text

The definition about ideology: Ideology is a study of the values and attitudes that arise from the constructuion of the other key concepts in a media text. Ideologies can be coonoted from the use of media language or from a particular representation such as a stereotype, or from the narrative roles and events.

Key Term
Construction: This key term helps us describe the way a media text put together. It tells an examiner that you understand a text has been made in a particular way for a particular way for a particular reason. A newspapaer constructs a headline; a studio constructs a film; a TV channel constructs its listings. Nothing is accidental, all meaning in the media is constructed.

Key Term
Dominant Values or Domtinant Ideology:
ideas and values that hold importance in our culture and which also inform our cultural practices. The importance of the individual, for example, is a dominant value in our society, as is the right to free speech. Dominant values can become so frequent and natural to us that they seem like common sense.

Key Term
Binary oppsites:
a list of ingredients in a media text that can be placed opposite each other to represent opposing value systems. The list can include events from the narrative, themes, or representation in the media language. Common binary opposites good/bad, male/female, human/inhuman

Representation

1.What is Representation?

Representation is when you somenthing audition. How example in the differents Reality Shows. The People say about his feelings, how angry there are. But this is all just a Fake. The People just audition. And this just to support the audience. 

This not a real family - it is a re-presentation of a happy family

Questions we would ask when analysinysing represtations:
-Who or What is being represented?
-How is the representation created?
-Who has created the representation?
-Why is the representation created in that way? What is the intention?

-What is the effect of the representation?

2. The Construction and Mediation of Representations

For example: A news photograph may appeear to be presenting us with a factual image but it has been through a process of construction:

-the photographer has selected his/her position, lens, angle, exposure and framing before taking the picture

-the picture editior will decide if the image needs to be cropped, enhanced or in any way altered before inclusion into the paper

-an edititor will choose which, of the many available photographs of the image, will be the one chosen for inclusion in the newspaper and,importantly at this stage, the images which do not meet the needs of the text will be rejected

The mediation process then starts:

-Will the protograph be large or small?

-Will the photograph be on the front  page or, less visible, on page 8?

Placement choices like this, along with cropping and framing, act to focus the attention of the reader in a certain way.

-What headline and text will be used to accompany the photograph?

-Will the photograph have a caption?

-Will it be positioned close to another photograph?

These features will all reach the reader:

-a large photograph connotes importance as does placing it on the front page of the newspaper,

-text can add either a negative or positive connotation to an image,

-by placing pictures next to each other the audience can be guided into making connections between them.

The selection process in summary:

-The decision over what is chosen to be represented and what is rejected;

-The choices made when organising the representation:

-The options taken to focus the audience in a certain way
