THE WANTED - WE OWN THE NIGHT
Women look in control and excited to be going out: typically taking longer than the males and the males aren't even shown getting ready it's just the women.
The women in the video are all attractive and they show interest in the males but look in control of themselves.
They get dressed up and look nice for male attention because they go out to where then men are and get drunk with them.

X-FACTOR AUDITIONS
Audio Codes:
Whilst Sam Bailey is being interviewed there is non-diegetic sounds being played - music. The music is not extremely upbeat but it is not so and boring; it gives a sense of positivity implying that the judges aren't going to expect much from her but she is actually an incredible singer. In addition to the music she is talking to the camera about her lifestyle and what she does for a living. This is really effective because without the audience knowing, it is giving us hints as to what she is going to be like.
Visual Codes:
Sam has dressed up for the occasion as she is wearing black trousers which are usually associated with work clothes or going out clothes which evidently shows she has made an effort to look her best and impress the judges. To back this up she says in her interview that she thinks she is 'too old' and it's about looking the part as well as being a good singer. She is wearing black heels as well which again implies that she is trying to make an effort and give herself a little bit more height above everyone else. Although she hasn't got a lot on make-up on, which younger girls do, she has her nails and hair done, which works with her outfit to look presentable. During her audition, whilst speaking to the judges, her facial expressions show us that she is nervous by the continuous movement and laugh after speaking which tells the audience that even though she's a lot older and is a prison officer, she is still nervous to sing in front of the judges. After Sam has been singing for a few seconds the camera focuses on the judges and their facial expressions tells us that they were not expecting her to be such a good singer. It's effective because previous facial expressions tells the audience that they weren't expecting anything decent but now they are in shock for judging her before she sang.
Technical Codes:
In this interview a variety of camera shots and angles have been used. For example the camera pans up her which enables the audience to get a full look at her and ultimately judge her. But the audiences views are influenced by the music played and camera shots. Quite a lot of close-up camera shots are used which is effective for the type of image they are portraying because it focuses entirely on Sam, isolating her from the distracting backgrounds which makes us listen to what she is saying. Once Sam is in the audition room a more wide camera shot is used which allows the audience to see the facial expressions of the judges. When she says her age, Louis looks slightly taken back and looks at the other judges however the camera focuses on him. Again, during Sam's audition a wide camera view has been used to capture all the judges expressions, this is really effective because she is much better than what the originally thought.

LES MISERABLES (TRAILER)
Audio Codes:
Throughout the whole trailer non-diegetic sounds are being used. In the first 10 seconds a young girl is singing to herself. Along with to non-diegtic sounds, low key lighting has been used which creates a sense of mystery and loneliness as she is on her own and the sounds are used in attempt to create some company for herself. Again, from the first 10 seconds we are asking ourselves 'why is she on her own?' This is known as the enigma - questions asked to the audience without them fully consciously knowing.
The majority of this trailer includes non-diegetic sounds as there are a lot of singing, along with background music. The background music changes half way through the trailer from fairly dull, slow music to upbeat and lively music. This is really effective because it hints towards there being dark and sad moments in the film but also some positive moments and that is all done just through the music. By putting to slow music before the lively music is effective because it draws the audience into wanting to know what is happening; for example, Anne Hathaway plays Fantine and we see a glimpse of her having her hair cut off and looking in a very bad state: on the floor and dirty. This would draw the audience into watching it because they will want to know why this is all happening.
Visual Codes:
The young girl's facial features suggest that she is scared as she is looking up and not concentrating on what she is doing. Her hair seems wet and straw like and she has dirt on her face which, again, suggests that she is not well looked after, giving us a slight insight into how she's living. These are known as visual codes as we see the emotion of the character and the way they look and dress gives us clues to the era they are living in and the type of person they are. Everything in the scene is used for a reason, this is known as mise-en-scene and in the Les Miserables trailer the clothing worn shows us that they are in the 1800's.
In addition to this class is being represented in the trailer but there is a clear distinction between the rich and the poor. The rich are wearing well kept, clean clothes and have an air of authority about them, whereas the poor have old, torn, dirty clothes on that probably have been worn for a while and they are covered in dirt which implies they don't wash often.

Technical Codes:
Different types of shots are used in the trailer for Les Miserables, for example in the first 10 seconds a wide camera shot has been used so we can see the girl but also her surroundings of where she is. It then moves in closer to her so we can now only see her facial expressions which therefore evoke emotions in the audience because the camera angle, audio sounds, visual codes all work together to create the scene and mood that the producer wants.

CELEBRITY JUICE
The intended audience for celebrity juice is aimed at 16-25 year olds but occasionally older generations might watch it. The reason it is aimed at this age group is predominantly because of the language and references used. In this century, strong language is more accepted and used on a regular basis whether its to insult someone or in just general conversation. The meaning of these words, to a certain extent, have been lost and this is one reason why strong language is more accepted.
The programmes main aim is to entertain its audience and give them an escape from reality for an hour and enable them to relax and forget about things.
Keith Lemon is the host of Celebrity Juice with Fearne Cotton and Holly Willoughby being the ongoing team captains. By keeping the same team captains allows the audience to connect more with the programme as they can relate to the jokes and references made by Keith Lemon.
Celebrity Juice will have been filmed for a lot longer than the show is shown for and therefore the selection process has been used to obtain all the best scenes to make the programme more enjoyable and entertaining. Each week different celebrities join Fearne and Holly which widens the audience as someone may like a particular celebrity and therefore want to watch the show because that celebrity is on. It also has a variety of challenges and tasks to do which is, again, for entertainment.
Up beat music is generally played to create a positive vibe and enhance viewers to watch the show.
On this particular episode Ant and Dec are featured which will therefore appeal to certain people.
Although all the people on the programme are celebrities we tend to focus on Keith Lemon more, as he is the main person of the show and has the most authority.

SEXUALITY
RAINBOW LACES
This news article is representing sexuality in a positive light as they feel that being gay shouldn't stop football players from playing football and it needs to be accepted and supported so people don't keep a secret that can internally be destroying them. If football clubs decide to wear and support this case then it will help younger generations, that idolise football teams, become more accepting of sexualities around them and also help them be open about their sexuality, knowing that it won't restrain them from job opportunities.

AGE
KARDASHIANKOLOR
Age is being represented in a false way in this newspaper article because two teenagers - Kendall and Kylie Jenner have earned a huge amount of money from supporting a nail polish line. This is a false representative of teenagers because minus the exceptions of celebrities (which they happen to be) the average teenager does not earn this amount of money.

RACE
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
Slumdog Millionaire represents race well as the main characters are Indian and the film is predominantly set and filmed in India. It shows how poor some peoples lives were and how much poverty they were actually living in. The is a fairly accurate representation because India today is still in poverty and many children have to fight for survival on their own. It also shows the traumatic life of Jamal Malik (main character) which represents how dangerously some young children have to live.

GENDER
BRITAIN AND IRELAND'S NEXT TOP MODEL
In this programme, depending on your views on models, they are being represented in both good and bad ways. They are being represented in a good way because they are models and generally, especially commercial models, are seen as 'inspirations' to young girls which is what this programmes aim is - to promote modelling. However in some peoples opinions they are being represented in a bad way as some shoots and types of modelling uses models as objects for, in particularly, men to look at. There is an element of false representation as models do not represent the average woman but Britain and Ireland's Next Top Model is aimed at a specific audience - young teenagers who enjoy watching fashion and modelling programmes.

CLASS
CHAVS
This newspaper article, from the Daily Mail, is portraying underclass 'chavs' in a negative light, explaining that they live off benefits by being unemployed and are the largest generation to become single mums with no education or social skills. The image the magazine has used is a very stereotypical picture of a chav wearing a cap and big earrings. In addition to this the magazine used statistics to back up their negative perspective of chavs.
