                       Media Homework - Task 3

 On Saturday the 17th of March I tracked my app usage for the day, in which I found myself hardly using my phone within the 24 hours. I found that I only used my phone when I was waiting between rounds on games on my Xbox and when I got bored of Xbox and decided to come off. After watching some videos on Youtube I then went downstairs and remained with my family for the rest of the day without my phone.

Charting the history of British music video Matthew Smith

Exploring the article 1. According to the article, MTV was not as significant in Britain as it was in America. British labels started to commission videos between 1975 and 1980 way before MTV started to.  2. The criteria Emily Caston and her team used was asking the industry panel about works they considered to be landmarks in the development of the form of music video in the uk, both technically and creatively. I however would judge the songs on their popularity and how they changed the music industry into the one we have today. This would include Bohemian Rhapsody, Thriller, Take on me and life on mars.  3. The reason the article says Bohemian Rhapsody is not the first British music video is because a year before Bohemian Rhapsody was released, the rolling stones released 'it's only Rock'n'roll (but I like it) and in 1982-3, David Bowie released 'John, I'm only dancing', 'The Jean Genie' and 'Life on Mars'.

Gender Representation Kayla

Task 1: I believe that women in video games are used to show how handsome or heroic the male is by playing the damsel in distress or simply pining over his looks and charms. Due to society and the way they picture females, our characters are never often seen as 'powerful' or able to achieve the same as what men can. With the obvious body differences we are separated into a different category and almost treated like a different species. In the past we were seen as the secondary gender and as of recently that has changed- most people are not adjusting so they turn to their old ways and hope it sells to those who believe men are stronger and better than women. Gender stereotypes have corrupted the gaming industry with their petty ideas of what a hero or a powerful character should look like. Female characters are often in costumes that shoe off a lot of skin there for promoting the sexual side of the game. Task 2: -Women need men to get recognised in the film industry. -Gen...
