Chosen font for Ancillary text main font

I have chosen to use the font 'Coventry Garden' for my CD cover, because it seemed to fit the best with the style of image that I wish to take for the CD cover. This is what the font looks like in its original form;

I used the website dafont.com to find my font, this is a very good website on wehich I found all of my other fonts because they have lots of different topic areas which I found my chosen font in the retro genre.

In the 60's teens got money and didn't have to work for the government any more.

These two different groups had different ideologies, they didn't like each other.

1964 - Brighton beach changed how the media reported and perceived these two groups of teens and how the rest of society understood the representation of teenagers, forever?

Images used by the press showed the teens as ;

• violent
• Reckless
• Rebellious
• Immature

However they could've chosen other images that showed something more positive rather than focussing on the negative.

didn't have the internet, they only had one channel to represent themselves through.

the press over exaggerated the events and demonised the teens and made them out to be worse ans much more violent and aggressive. they folk devilled teenagers and made other members of society scared of them. the press encouraged young people to fight so they could create stories in the media to manipulate how society viewed teenagers.

• Vermin
• Odious louts
• Mutated locusts
• sawdust Caesar's
• Internal enemies

'Grubby hordes of louts and sluts'

How do the press report a moral panic?

1. Exaggeration & Distortion - 'over-reporting' using emotive language and repetition of false stories.
2. Prediction - If it has happened once before it is bound to happen again.
3. Symbolism - Signs represent a moral panic for e.g. interviews that are dramatised and over exaggerated to let them hear what they want to say.

Stan Cohen - 1972

'A moral panic occurs when a condition, episode, persons or group of persons emerges to become defined as a threat to societal values and interests'.

What does a moral panic consist of?

1. Concern - Awareness of a negative impact on society
2. Thestility - Towards the group to separate them from the rest of society and to 'folk devil' them from us.
3. Consensus - A wide group of society accept the threat of the group in question
4. Disproportionality - the action taken is disproportionate to the actual threat posed
5. Volatility - They can easily disappear as soon as they came and move on to a new topic.

What other moral panics are there?

- Jimmie Saville & the 80's entertainers

- Social workers & lack of capability (baby P)

- Drug culture

- London riots

- Video games & violent behaviours

- Trolling

Changes in time - Post-modern media

Post-modernism rejects meta narratives. By doing this it creates a paradox by saying it doesn't conform, it creates its own conformity.

There is no one true experience of life, just many truths. Post-modernism is a fragmented society.

Classicism - Middle Ages - Believed in Jesus

Romanticism - 17th - 18th century - The world is wonderful, not a true representation.

Impressionism - Mid 19th century - Claude Monet - capturing  a moment, not fake

Post-impressionism - van Gogh, letting emotions out through paintings

Cubism - Picasso - creating an overall image in 2D form, not a representation of reality

Surrealism - 1920's - treachery of images, Salvador Dali - Dreams

Modernism - Abstract - Jackson Pollock, Richard Hamilton & Andy Warhol

Post-Modernism - Mona Lego, creates a new art form using other people's art - eclectic mixing

Music video ideas and influences

In this shot of You Me At Six's 'Rescue Me' I noticed the young actress within the music video and very much liked her make-up. It is very simple yet it is quite dark which is a common feature amongst pop-rock. Avril Lavigne is a prime example of this.

 In this shot from Serj Tankian of system Of A Down's 'Empty Walls' I liked the way he was giving eye contact addressing that he has an audience and making the music video more personal because it is as if he's directing the songs meaning at someone watching.

 In Meghan Trainors 'Lips Are Movin' and Taylor Swift's 'Blank space' I liked the use of red lipstick. Bright colours are often used in the punk genre.

In Taylor Swift's 'Blank Space' I also liked the shot in which Taylor is sat on her bed singing parts of the song. (Last Shot on the page)

Exploring mucky lane for filming

I took my dog out for a walk down 'Mucky lane' a track in Burton Pidsea because I wanted to see what condition the forested area was like down there because I wanted to film some of my shots there. Here is what found;

 It was a little difficult to get down because of the mud but it is doable as long as you're wearing bots or wellies. this is for shots in which Charlie will be in, it is easy enough for the two of us to get down but we will need to be careful taking equipment and will need to take things to stand the tripod on so it is even and so it doesn't get mucky.
