Textual analysis

What's the says,


I recently begun my textual analysis for my project. I analysed a documentary on suicide, called suicide.


Released in 2001, suicide is a film directed by Earnes Yates and explores the suicide of his own brother which occurred 2 years prior to the films release. Earnes' brother Teddy was 40 when he shot himself whilst at home.


The film addresses some fundamental questions surrounding the issue, such as: what kind of suffering can lead to someone taking their own life? Was there anything that could of been done to prevent this?


Through a number of interviews the documentary also hears the thoughts and opinions of experts in the field who all help us gain a better understanding of the subjects.


This documentary really appealed to me as it answered many big questions around mental health which is similar to what I would like to do in my project.


I have gained a vast amount of ideas from the textual analysis on this and will gain even more information when I continue my textual analysis with another media text.

Crime drama arcticle GQ

https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/the-interceptor-bbc-the-interceptor-cast This article is a story on a crime drama, the interceptor. The article appeared on GQ magazine. I can take much of the content of this article to help draft my own main article for my magazine double spread feature of my production. I analysed the article thoroughly taking notes on all the different media language elements that the writer used to make the article interesting and for it to seem recognisable to repeat readers (by basing the article around an actor interview).

Introduction

Hello, I'm Fraser and welcome to my blog. I have set up this blog to log my progress and notable development points of the set media studies coursework that I have been tasked with. We have been asked to create an audio visual television program sequence that lasts from 2 minutes and 30 seconds to 3 minutes long. Along with this I have been asked to create a front cover and double page spread feature article to publicise your television programme in a new lifestyle magazine. I will be logging my progress to the completion of this task in the following months.

Aims and intentions

Fraser Cavan – Aims and intentions draft   In my production I will use a vast amount of different angles such as high and low shots. As well as this I will include various shot positioning such as medium shots and over the shoulder shots. I intend to use these as well as many sound effects in my production to keep it flowing and thus making it more interesting to the viewer. Using the same monotonous angles and shots will make my audio-visual video boring and uninteresting.   My production will infer a lot of reference to the representation of gender in our modern day society. For example in the script I have written the character ‘Larissa Brooks’ is at first glance a seemingly typical female receptionist who is controlled by boss and gym owner ‘Martin King’. However when first struck with a domestic demand that does not relate to her job, we see her respond in a sarcastic and powerful way in which she rejects her boss. Which challenges the idea that women in our soc...
