Online newspapers are becoming increasingly popular and print newspapers are being less popular as a result. Reasons such as convenience and price play a major role in the changes. Online news is in your pocket and free, print newspapers are in a shop and you have to pay for them. If something big in the world has occurred, in online news you will find out as soon as it happens but pint papers you will find out the next morning. 

Print newspapers have two main types, tabloid and broadsheet. A tabloid paper is the typical gossip news and broadsheet is the international important news. A tabloid paper has large images, short articles, bright colours and many advertisements. These newspapers are normally the ones that are free or very cheap, so they have many advertisements on them in order to make money and keep producing them. Broadsheet newspapers have small images, long articles, mainly just headlines on the front page, simp colours and international important news. These newspapers have no advertisements on them as they have to be bought. The Mirror is an example of a tabloid paper and The Telegraph is an example of a broadsheet paper.

Media Language in the Jungle Book

­­Media Language in the Jungle Book In the 2016 trailer of the Jungle Book has been created using computers and CGI as well as special effects making it look verisimilitude . The animals and background images have been made to look incredibly realistic, this then attracts attention to how the movie looks so real when really it’s a movie containing talking animals. In comparison the 1967 version of the Jungle Book has been made as a cartoon with no special computers or technology, the backgrounds are watercolour and the animals are simple animations. This doesn’t make the movie realistic and is more attractive to the younger audience. Dramatic non-diegetic music has been used throughout the trailer to give the audience a small hint that the movie is going to be really dramatic and have lots of twists and turns. Then there is the diegetic sound of Scarlet Johansson talking as the snake, which is calm and juxtaposes the dramatic movie but then towards the end of the movie you act...

Downton Abbey analysis

At 0:47 the contrast in costumes shows the difference between the rich and the poor. The rich people are wearing expensive, traditionally high class outfits (suits) and the lower class are wearing work outfits for example the servants (aprons and hats) and the paper boy. This shows a direct contrast between the two classes.  There is high key lighting in the upper class peoples section of the house showing that they are more powerful because they are in a brightly lit area. Low key lighting is used in the areas of the house such as the kitchen where the servants work and live because traditionally they would be in the bottom floor of the house.  At 0:49, the man looks down on the paper boy as he is late and snatches the paper from him.  At 1:09 there is a close up shot of the man reading the newspaper and you can see the facial expression but there is no clue on what he is reading.  At 1:17 you can see the class difference as the lower class workers have to i...
