Newspaper Evaluation

This is my newspaper article that i made it is based on the article from the daily mail that was written on Barrack Obama watching Bin Ladens death. i feel like the one large picture really grabs a hold of the reader and gets the attention as it make the page stand out from all the others and the bright blue strip at the top contrasts the type of audience that the main article is attracting.i feel lie the length of the headline is accurate and the body of text at the bottom and the font is very accurate. Also the type of picture is very appropriate as it shows harry looking very confused at the situation. also the context is very accurate of which the Daily Mail would write as they love the royals. The things i could improve to make it even more accurate is the three lines at the mine text of writing at the top making that two lines instead of one.

The Times is in more detail with the location and the time it happened and went into more detail on how it actually happened but dud not involve as many people as the Daily Mirror.

8 Ways to spot bias in newspapers

8 Ways to spot bias in newspapers

Bias pictures and graphics- camera angles and captions.   Can make someone look powerful if the camera angle is below them and make them look small if it is above them.

Text, word choice and tone off the body of the text.   If its informal they might not be taking the story seriously.

Choice of journalist and sources- who is writing it and their beliefs and who have they got their information from.  they may be against what they are writing about so would be  bias point of view.

Positioning of certain articles.  If the article is further back of the paper then the paper company may be biased on the article and try and cover it up if they support it and something has gone wrong.

Bias through omission or selection- whether an article is even published or not.   If something they support has gone wrong then they may not even publish the story.

Bias through headline.   Slating the article so people think that some thing is bad.

Bias use of names and titles- "terrorist" or "freedom fighter", "ex-con" or "someone who served a sentence a long time ago". The name changes depending what they want the audience to think of the article.

Bias through stats and crowd control counts.   The could use stats to boost their points and make them sound right.

Evaluation of group

Our target audience was the whole of society and also aimed slightly more at people from 11-18 years old and their parents so they can realise the struggles he disabled go through and try and help them. The “brand” was for the charity of Scope. 

I worked with Molly Beaver, Dan Harding and Niamh, assigned specific jobs for each person so my job was the story board and quite a lot of the editing with setting up the greenscreen. Molly done the original storyboard with Niamh and Molly helped film and edit. It took dan sometime to get settled into the group but once settled he had some helpful ideas involved and helped upload the advert. Then Niamh helped choose the song and sort out timings to see Mr Johnson but wasn’t in a lot and didn’t do much out of lessons. 

We planned on a storyboard.  

When planning and researching we looked for existing adverts and too the best bits from each ones and then looked for words that actually had word that meant and supported our message like the song we chosen the chorus is praise you as in we are praising the people for helping the disabled and also for the disable kids getting through their daily struggles. 

Other groups said it was quite moving and helped them understand the message we was trying to portray through it and said that it flowed well and the music fitted with the message and wth the editing. 

I feel that we have learnt compromise and teamwork and editing and also green screen and time management. 

Try not set such a big task for the group but still take riskesbas they do pay off.

The overall outcome portrayed our message very clearly with the music summariesing how people can be more aware and how that we are proud of what the community has done to except the disabled into society but still is work to be done to understand the struggles most go through. We could have improved the greenscreen by having not creases and crinkles making it look more professional but for a first time attempt it looks good in my opinion. I enjoyed working with the cast of the advert and feel as if we have completed our task to a fairly high standard with room for improvement.
