Mode of Address

In this article the title has used very simplistic language and explains what the article is about briefly. As this case was previously in the news, for it to be re-investigated was a big thing and therefore it was the first article on the daily mail online and also the heading was bold and stood out, attracting the audience. 

The target audience for this article would be 25-40 year olds as it is a fairly vivid case with a lot of complexion in it, which younger ages may not understand. Also the headline says 'murdering' and therefore gets to the point straight away. 

From the bullet points which give an overview of the article, it makes me, as the reader, not feel empathetic towards her especially at one particular phrase 'fears for Raffaele Sollecito' which is now an ex boyfriend and therefore seems slightly suspicious. it makes me feel empathetic towards the family, predominately the sister of Meridith Kercher as she was present at the verdict and in the headline it states 'we may never know what happened'. This is a powerful statement as to have gone through so many years of grief and yet the case has not been closed and there is not sufficient enough evidence to prove the full events of what happened. 

In the article, the first few images are just of Amanda Knox looking slightly unhappy however further down there is one image where she is looking stern, which looks as though there is two sides to her. All the images have been constructed to create a certain idea and feeling and in this case, I think, it is to portray a negative representation of Amanda. She states in one paragraph 'I expected better of the Italian justice court...' by saying this, as the audience, it forces us to judge her and ask questions (enigma) as to 'why is she expecting more? and why is she relying on her lawyers to do better and not do anything herself. 

Further down the page there is images of the victims sister at a conference and it gives out a sense of bravery as they are still pursuing with the case in order to find out once and for all what happened. 

Overall this article isolates Amanda Knox and almost guides the audience into emphasising with Meridith's sister and not Amanda. The audience will take individual opinions on the article depending on there involvement with the story however, from an outsider's point of view I feel more sympathetic towards the victims sister and family. 

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.

CASUALTY

• Coloured man and woman behind the desk, which is a lower position than doctors/paramedics.
• A woman tries to speak to a man but he is blunt to her and walks away.
• The woman goes back to talk to the man but again he is blunt with her and continues to question her on who she was with the night before (another male) and tells her he doesn't like it. 
• Whilst in the dancing competition the woman have some part of their bodies on show whereas the men are covered up; some chests are on show but legs and stomaches are covered up.
• Women were looking after the patient: playing a traditional expressive role as they are more 'caring and nurturing'.

First album front and back cover

WEEK 1 SUMMARY 
This week I have decided on what I want to do for my coursework and analysed four album covers and one back cover and also looked for ideas that I can use in my own album cover. I have also created a survey which will be sent out to 30-40 people to complete.
