SIV Cover: Thurs 6th
P1: 13 C Media – Essay - An exploration into selected Media coverage of the American presidency elections. How does the Media sway/confirm public opinion? This must be copied. All of it. Hence the boxes – just for you!
On Google images find either VIBE front cover ‘IT’s Obama time’ or type in “Time Obama front cover” - compare this image of the “saviour” with YouTube “Barack Obama TV infomercial 10/29/2008 part 1 of 4”. Same, different, unrepresentative? Remember “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights”/”We shall overcome”/ Alice Walker interview BBC iplayer/ The Colour Purple – Google and see what you think... be open to research... is it just about Americanism or could it happen here too?
Use Media knowledge in your comparative analysis representations/Americanisation/audience theory/anchorage/image manipulation. Don’t be obvious. What other texts could you bring in? Research the other candidates’ adverts, their front covers. Apply the above methods... and more.
An essay, typed, emailed to me by Tues 11th. Thank you.
