Ancillary Theme/Content Implying the false interpretation and
representation from media
Implying the lack of identify
and being faceless in the
media but those of a
higher power
Show the manipulation and brainwash from the media
on how hegemonic they are
Showing audience realisation, but little effect to
changeFrightening image showing media to
be demonic forcing audience to follow them,
and manipulating is to participate
Presenting our first episode
where media is puppeteer of our
society
Implying the lack of identify
from the audience – we
are merely what they
create of us
Shows a family fixed on social
media – emphasise how much we use,
showing perfect way to control society
Black and white shows
lack of identify and with the
TV head shows hegemony in
the media
Lies come up more dominant than the news –
news is black and white showing lack of identity,
life enforcing the one sided portrayal on it
Mocking audiences minds for being a re-produce of what the media regurgitate.
Implying again we are what the media make us of, and enforce onto us
Showing audience to be a creation of
the media
Ancillary Theme/Content I like the theme of walking into a book – could change
and link to walking into TV or media – where you become
someone else or are manipulated in that world
This seems like web 3.0, the web become omnipresent,
where although out participation in media is
stronger, it makes it easier for the industries to enforce
ideologies
I like the double meaning in what she's written,
implying media is like a dominator of the whole
world
Enforces being manipulated and influenced by media and
its ideologies
Enforcing the idea we are blind slaves to media, we
participate and they control us
Shows all the news, ideologies, and other
things on TV which pressure and enforce such a strong impact on society whereby it becomes too
much
Enforce the faceless industry behind media, but
also how participants on media become faceless in
their identity
Shows dominance – like hegemony where media
dominate and manipulate the audience
Presenting our first episode where media is puppeteer of our society
Shows lack of identify and with the TV head
shows hegemony in the media
Font Style
I like the broken text effect – it could imply the separation of the media and its audience – or the broken, and influenced mind of the audience from the media
The use of embedding images with mean or interpret texts as they are on social networking is probably more eye catching to a audience – and will automatically show what our documentary will be about
I like the simplistic times new roman font because its very common to use on blogs
This font was used a lot in Web 1.0 sites and on ‘notes’ on Microsoft so it would link to the web revolution
The Facebook font would be good to use – further if we write our statistics on Facebook, we would use this font, familiar to our audience
This font from the iPad we could use because it links to the technological convergence part of our documentary – show familiarity with out audience
For the question on hegemony in the news, using bold big ‘breaking new’ font would be good to gain audience attention
Again this big bold font would be eye catching for readers – it would seem important and dominate on the double page spread
Photography StyleI like the grey colour scale in these three pictures, because it emphasises the
lack of originality and audience influence on the media. It takes away any life in media – portrays a darker and dull side, enforcing our
point that info comes out, and not much really comes in.
I like the way it seems like someone has graffiti on the wall – it shows a understanding from the public
of media hegemony, and enforces that sense that we are blinded even though its right in front of us
I like the way the newspapers have a grey scale effect, with the red ‘lies’ on the top – implying danger and the way it stands out above all the text the news give out – make it seem obvious, yet we are still oblivious
I like the way it looks as though it has been drawn then coloured in – also the colours are quite dull and dark enforcing something not so good about the media
I like the way the animation with the way they used a dark blue colour, creating an eerie and creepy atmosphere around this picture – showing media and TV not as colourful and nice as it seems
Layout DesignRecurrent on all these spread they have the whole background as the
image with text on topThis type of design I would want to
put on my double page spread
The placement of the title and preview to article on
the top right corner is think is a nice way of laying out
the spread
They way the they had the title name on the side, put vertically not to distract but e read before the preview was effective in that sense
Here they added images on top to show more angles of the car – doesn’t take away form the main image – this could be an option if we wanted to add more than one image
Similarly we could layout our title to show a meaning or connote something with media like ‘Showdown’ and ‘James Brown’ because it makes there article hint a story before reading
Text/ParagraphBold black drop quotes would be good to include on the double page spread as a preview to the subjects opinion
I like the way the title is a different font to the paragraph text underneath
I like the format of putting the large title directly above the preview paragraph to the article – so
you look at title then the article
The use of colour coding in this paragraph would be able to highlight the major key in the article – like here stands out the directors name
The title here shelters the preview paragraph which looks more creative
than the others- also our title is long so this could be something we would do
The symbolism of the B in the text applying to the preview below would be eye-catching for a title
The manipulation of size to visually enforce the drama of something on the title – creates more of an effect when
beginning to read article
Text Paragraph style
• The old fashioned joined up writing emphasises a
vintage feel.
• The style consists of the paragraphs/text being at the bottom.
• Although the paragraphs are at the bottom which is quite simplistic they are still effective as the images lead your eyes down to the bottom of the page thus drawing more attention to what is written.

Font Style
• The bulky text reminds people of campaign posters or army posters thus subliminally re-
enforcing the importance.
• The font style resembles
similarities with the ‘Twitter’ logo.
• The font appears to be in a hand-written style.
• The font is simple and not very eye-catching.

Image connotations
Everything we do on the internet is being watched.
The media single-handedly controls us. The media feeds us
whatever it wants.
Out thoughts and opinions are shaped by a higher power.
Social networking is as addictive as a drug.
We have become so consumed with the media, its all we think about. A higher unknown power
has a hold on society.
It is society that fuels social media sites.
We are shackled to our media addiction. We are trapped and cant break free.
We are being fed lies that are covered up as the truth.

Photography Style
The black and white effects makes it more dramatic and serious.
The person is blurred emphasising their insignificance and the importance of social networking.
The motion blur effect emphasises how much we can do at one time due to technological convergence.
The black and white effect implies a sense of danger. Her identity is hidden emphasising her vulnerability.
The brightness and white colours resemble a very cold and sterile atmosphere which reminds us of hospitals and illnesses, thus our addiction to media is an illness.
You cannot see who's hand is caught thus implying we are all victims.
Their hidden identity implies they are subjects to a higher power.
The extreme close-up increases the intensity of addiction to social networking.

Text Paragraph Style
The text is very chunky and small intended for an educated and interested audience.
Quote at the top to grab attention
Italicised heading – feminine audience
Font Style
Capital letters highlighting Importance and capture’s the attention of the readers
Pink font displaying femininity and capitals showing voices wanted to be heard
Fancy writing for females and numbers showing them the amount of things that they ‘will’ like
Image Connotations
Connotations that social media is so hegemonic that we are prevented from having the freedom of our own opinions
Connotes that social media is very time consuming and dominating
Connotes that we are addicted and obsessed with social media
Photography Style
Social media images bursting out of the phone is very effective as it shows that we are bombarded with this media
The use of chains is interesting as it shows the idea that we can’t escape from social media, it’s everywhere we go
Different words highlighted in different sizes associated with hegemony of social media
