 I chose this magizine partly because i was attracted to the possitive bright red primary colour but i believe it was also due to the controversal message that was shown in the image. The title is also clear and slik and attractive to the eye. The fonts used were plain yet they are kept in constant capitals.


This magazine cover was very artistic which is good because there seems to be only one thing going on on the cover. the primary image of a japanease womans back tatoos


i liked this magisine cover because of the simple casual laid backness of it.
i choses this magixine cover because of the unique style that i havent seen before

the monarch of glen extract.   editing.

in this extract i can spot numorous examples of editing. it opens on a long shot following the alpha charecter of the farmer walking throughe a work site. a long shot was used for this as it can be used effetively to slow time  or to create the immpression of a busy place.




 the second one that stands out is also in the first twenty second of the film. its shows an over the shoulder shot from behind the man to the woman it is also an example of an eyeline match to show that the two charecters are equal.

1. the poster
this was the poster released in november 2006
2. i think the producers decided to mimic bad boys 2 becasue they are both cop films and it is taking the mikey. also becasue bad boys is a famous francise it will be easily recognisible.
3. the producers of hot fuzz chose to do synergy marketing becasue if you have help and are working together it makes pretty much everything easier.
4.they make use of this by having their partners controle some of their marketing wich means they dont have to.

Sound In its simplest form sound can be broken down into two categories Diegetic - sound which occurs naturally within a scene (e.g. dialogue,sound effects) Non - Diegetic - sound which has no obvious source and is added on (e.g. Jaws theme during and attack) Within these categories there is however important distinctions to be drawn. Diegetic - Dialogue. An actors voice can add important information about a character just by varying pitch and tone. Synchronous sounds are those sounds which are synchronized or matched with what is viewed. For example: If the film portrays a character playing the piano, the sounds of the piano are projected. Synchronous sounds contribute to the realism of film and also help to create a particular atmosphere. For example: The “click” of a door being opened may simply serve to convince the audience that the image portrayed is real, and the audience-may only subconsciously note the expected sound. However, if the “click” of an opening door is part of an ominous action such as a burglary, the sound mixer may call attention to the “click” with an increase in volume; this helps to engage the audience in a moment of suspense. Asynchronous sound effects are not matched with a visible source of the sound on screen. Such sounds are included so as to provide an appropriate emotional nuance, and they may also add to the realism of the film. For example: A film maker might opt to include the background sound of an ambulance's siren while the foreground sound and image portrays an arguing couple. The asynchronous ambulance siren underscores the psychic injury incurred in the argument; at the same time the noise of the siren adds to the realism of the film by acknowledging the film's (avowed) city setting. Non-diegetic sound Background music is used to add emotion and rhythm to a film. Usually not meant to be noticeable, it often provides a tone or an emotional attitude toward the story and/or the characters depicted. In addition, background music often foreshadows a change in mood. For example, dissonant music may be used in film to indicate an approaching (but not yet visible) menace or disaster. Background music may aid viewer understanding by linking scenes. For example, a particular musical theme associated with an individual character or situation may be repeated at various points in a film in order to remind the audience of salient motifs or ideas. General terms Sound bridge. Adding to continuity through sound, by running sound (narration, dialogue or music) from one shot across a cut to another shot to make the action seem uninterrupted.
