Bradford Film Festival Review

For this film festival i was reviewing Screening 3.

I started talking to three film makers in front of us who had come all the way from Essex just to see their friends music video. The music video was a copy of 'feeling good' by Muse and most of us agreed that it was one of the best we had seen that day.

The were numerous films varying from animations done by primary schools to 'documentary' type films putting across points such as stopping bullying.

As well as having a wide range of age groups there were also numerous genres, including humorous, serious and

Skins

• Older teenage audience (the box set is rated as 18. )
• Title sequence contains; nudity, smoking, drugs, alcohol (excessive drinking), Relationships - possibly sexual.
• The music is upbeat and light (almost classical). This is a contrast to the content of the actual programme.
• Image of a boy and a girl walking on a Moor - possible relationship?
• Starts with blue sky, moving onto still water then goes to a smoke image (could signify smoke from a cigarette?)
• The cast are teenagers at school/college - girl in a uniform.
• Diversity; sexual orientation, gender, ethnicity
• Establishing shot or just long shot of the whole cast.
• Then focusing on one particular character at the end of the title sequence. The episode will then focus on that character throughout.

Newspapers: The Telegraph

The Telegraph

 

1) The political/ideological bias of this newspaper:

 The Telegraph is Conservative and as such has been named by some as 'The Torygraph'.

 

2) The political party the newspaper would historically support:

In the early years, The Telegraph is said to have been associated with the Liberal party as well as Gladstone.

 

3) Expectations on: Youth

The Telegraph are negative about teenagers in Britain and try to portray them in a bad light.

 

 

   Expectations on: Royalty

Because The Telegraph is a Conservative party supporter they are most likely going to be positive about royalty.

 

 

   Expectations on: The invasion in Iraq

Again, as they are right wing The Telegraph will be positive about the invasion in Iraq. According to some people on forums the Conservative party 'is not racist only anti-illegal immagration'. However a Tory councillor was suspended after Mr Fraser made derogatory comments about Romanians at a public meeting and also said that some Europeans "make the Irish look like complete amateurs".
