    stereotype: objectification of women
    media language used: direct address
    how: the images used are sexualised and only for men to approve

    stereotype: women have to wear makeup in order to be accepted
    breakdown: slogan
    how: the text make them feel like have to wear makeup to be attractive

    stereotype: women are better at looking after their children
    breakdown: the main image
    how: suggests that this is the only thing women are good for and men can not do this job as its not advertised on magazine covers - magazines only conform to the stereotypes of society

    the best paragraph is 1, due to the in depth explanation but also the use of some media terminology in magazines.

    you could include more media terminology next time.

Vance Joyce- Riptide, Goodwin’s theory

Apply Goodwin’s theory to Riptide using screenshots to support your analysis. The first step of this process is to analyse the music structure understanding the chorus and verses.  Then the second step (main voice of the song), the voice of the artist would be very unique compared to others and will give the person a form of identification that can be related to the star image or singer.  The third step would be the story of an artist which he is trying to tell in his song. It can establish him as a storyteller. And the music video can aid this by showing us the video through the vocals of t he song.  The majority of this music video is made up with links between the lyrics and the visuals. This is an example of the link as the lyrics are ‘come unstuck’ while the visuals are a  mid shot  of a girl coming ‘unstuck’ from being tied to a tree. Another example is from the lyrics of ‘running down to the riptide’ while the visuals show a  mid shot  of some...

Vance Joyce- Riptide, Is this video Post Modernism?

Is this music video postmodern? Postmodern media rejects the idea that any media product or text is of any greater value than another. All judgements of value are merely taste.  Anything can be art, anything can deserve to reach an audience, and culture ‘eats itself’ as there is no longer anything new to produce or distribute.  The distinction between media and reality has collapsed, and we now live in a ‘reality’ defined by images and representations – a state of simulacrum. Images refer to each other and represent each other as reality rather than some ‘pure’ reality that exists before the image represents it – this is the state of hyper-reality.  All ideas of ‘the truth’ are just competing claims – or discourses and what we believe to be the truth at any point is merely the ‘winning’ discourse.  Postmodernism is also said to reflect modern society's feelings of alienation , insecurity and uncertainties concerning identity, history, progress and truth, and...
