The conservative party-
Theresa May Government-
The government in charge of negotiating Brexit is a strange mix of right-wing nationalism and centrists, 'compassionate conservatism'.
The conservative party is made up of local associations which play a major role in the selection of candidates and the appointment of the party leader. This headline supports the conservative party because it is persuading the audience to vote for May which is in favour of the conservative party.

UKIP- The Independence Party-
This party has little in the way of policies, apart from Europe bashing. but is surprisingly popular with voters. In the 2015 election, UKIP obtained just one member of parliament, a sitting MP who had moved over from the conservatives. UKIP has several members in the European Parliament. This headlinte tells the audience that UKIP are on their way to triumph, to win the election.





BNP (British National Party)-
An extreme right wing party, with nationalistic and xenophobic views. No members of parliament.

This party is the most pro-European of the major British parties, and until 2015 shared power with the conservative party in the coalition government. Many of those who voted for the liberal democrats in 2010 were not happy when the party chose to go into colaition with the conservatives, and in 2015 they lost most of their MPs. However, following the election of left-winger Jeremy Corbyn to the head of the Labour Party in september 2015. Jeremy Corbyn on this headline is trying to show the audience that his best interest is his country, which persuades the audience to favour the Liberal Democrats.




The Green Party-
A centre-left party, in many ways rather middle-class, committed to the promotion of environmental issues. One member of parliament (since 2010)

The Labour Party-
The Labour party covers virtually the whole spectrum of left-wing politics in Britain, and includes a smaller party known as the co-operative party. Until 2010, (since the time of Tony Blair) it had been dominated by the social-liberal centre-left (new labour)

Respect-
The party of a populist left-wing labour party dissident, George Galloway, who was its sole MP until 2015.

The Communist Party Of Great Britain-
Very marginal, the party has only ever had two elected MPs. It was never a mass party, not even at its peak in the 1940s.

Explain how the political context in which newspapers are produced, influences their ownership and regulation

1.  Explain the political significance of the concept of 'press freedom' and its relationship to representative democracy. Why do you think freedom of the press is important? How much influence do you think the government should have about the things reported in the UK press? We personally feel that the free press has both positives and negatives and therefore shouldn't be totally self regulated, the invasion of privacy of those in the public eye is becoming more common. Which reporters taking stories to far and gaining private information this is happening due to the demand that the audience and readers give, responding well to stories that seem more exclusive. However, i feel that when a scoop isn't in the public interest then it should be required as reporters for newspapers are gaining both unwanted information and information which is to invasive.  The concept of "press freedom`' has political significants as newspapers are able to support any polit...

Todorov's theory of narralology: Todorov suggested that conventional narratives are structured in 5 stages: 1. equilibrium 2. disruption of the equilibrium 3. recognition of the disruption 4. attempt to repair the damage 5. new equilibrium (however will never return to being exactly the same as the original equilibrium) This type of narrative structure is very familiar to us and can be applied to many 'mainstream' film/TV narratives Plot: sequence of events, what the reader observes. Story: All events of the narrative both explicit and implicit (what the reader understands) Narrative: plot+story (chain of events in a cause and effect relationship in time and space. The manner in which the story is revealed) Genre and Narratives what you expect to see in... horror: violence, terror, unknown, darkness, antagonist, abandoned buildings, scares, tension, bitter sweet ending, religious iconography. science fiction: futuristic, supernatural, space, technology, post...

Dance Music Video Analysis

Lullaby- Sigala, Paloma Faith This video follows many of the conventions of dance music videos, colourful, good vibes and generally on holiday or in a location that the audience would wish to be in themselves. Dance is involved in this video, more in the middle and towards the end of the video, The colours the main women is wearing is bright yellow, which have connotations of happiness and energy, which is evidently what dance makes you feel like. The idea of the sun coming through the blinds emphasizes the beauty of the place and works as a spotlight for the singer in the video, this natural lighting is used making it seem more realistic to the audience. Some of the camera shots used are mid shots, from the shoulders upwards, and may have been used to show the expressions on their face whilst singing the song, possibly linking with the lyrics. Additionally, some long shots are used of the full body, showing the dances being performed and the body language from the character. Bre...
