Introduction to NDM: reading and blog task

1) Read the first two articles. Write one paragraph on each summing up the key aspects.
Article one
This article talks about how they researched year 9 students on how different issues out of school contributed to learning in school. They were interested on how the anxieties from social media and how it affected them. It also talks about how they blocked their friend and family from this information One social media that was used was Facebook and how most teachers didn't know how vulnerable their student were.  One key thing they found was the diversities of family that attending the school but how they were treated the same. They tell us that students were accessing the media at school but teachers never talked about how they were produced.However, phone were forbidden which could have been used to teach and learn.
Article two
This article talks about the app Periscope and piracy issues they are facing. The app allows people live streaming a video to fans without using expensive equipment but with just a phone. It allows people around the word to see a different world. However, some people could use the app to stream shows or movies that you have to pay which would hurt company such as Netflix. This could lead to companies like this shutting down because of the lack of revenue.

2) Now read the A2 A* essay. Why do you think it was so successful? 
This case study give us a lot of information with a lot of evidence. They example  why Spotify do what they want.
3) Finally, answer this question in a well developed paragraph on your blog: How has digital media changed your life in the last 5 years (for positive or negative)?
Digital media has affected my life as it allows me to connect to people very easily from social media. It allows me to talk to people around the world without wasting money. It has helped me in school as well as it allows me to research work that I don't understand for example Alevel Math. I could access work from different sources to understand my work that I could't ask my teachers. 
However, It has also affected me in a negative way as it has decreased my time spent outside. I feel that it has made me depended on media to work as I could ask Google anything I made making me less independent.

First draft of notes and quotes

NOTES Writer , quote, links , my opinion and summary Media form(this is for the whole movie) ·          The visual are dark which make the actors/actress more suspicious ·          The lighting is very dark for most of the scenes. The daytime scenes gritty ·          The props of an action/thriller film are very important as it would identify the genre to the audiences.

For example, if a gun is pulled out, they would be able to connote that something dangerous and exciting is about to happen ·         C-Most of the clothing warn in the film is modern and casual. The body suit warns by Dead- pool is the same costume that is warn in the comic. This will attract the fans from the comic as they would already know...

The following needs to be completed by the   MIGRAIN key concept research Media Representations  Who is being represented?  In what way?  By whom? One of the groups that are represented are villain who are shown in the movies as aggressive and unsympathetic.This reinforces the crime done by the villain which is shown in nearly every superhero film. Even though they are doing the same act of crime, they are breaking the law either being fictional or not.  Another group shown is superhero. In must superhero movies, the hero or heroine are shown to be noble and a role model to kids. However, in Deadpool, the hero is trying to benefit himself. This is an alternative view on superhero. Why is the subject being represented in this way?  Even though that this movie wasn't expected to do as good as it did, it still had the same stereotypes as the blockbusters. For example, the villain is from England. They are shown to be harmful to inno...

What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences?

“You turn on the television, and violence is there. You go to a movie, and violence is there.” (Emanuel Tanay) 1 What effects do violent films such as ‘Deadpool’ have on audiences? Cinematic violence has been a part of films since movie making started. Nowadays, watching most films with most genres, there is a high possibility of seeing some sort of violence in the film. The hyper-reality in post-modern films such as “Deadpool” (2016) shows no consequences for violent acts in the films. This is stereotypical in all superhero films as we never see the protagonist getting in trouble. Similarly, in “Deadpool” (2016), the violence is protruding in a comedic way that uses violence to fuel the protagonist characterisation. Michael Haneke once said in “Violence and the Media”: "The western, crime, war, adventure, and horror genres define themselves in no small part through violence." 2 This shows us that violence has had a huge influence on these genres that now are depended on...
