zoella

 

  • Firstly zoellas audience fit the graphic of young (majority) females. When Zoella was so called ‘in trend’ she had a very loyal fan base. They were also part of an online active community. One of the prime examples of this is when she released her debut novel. Which ended up becoming the fastest selling debut novel of all time even surpassing harry potter. She also had an active audience as she amassed millions of followers very quickly. They become active media content producers when they start making fan pages, imitating her make up or YouTube videos or even her personality. This can refer back to David Gauntletts theory of identification that the idea that the media provide us with ‘tools’ or resources that we use to construct our identities. To normal people some may believe that she has a close relationship with her fans. however I do think that she has a close relationship with her fans she also had parasocial interactions with them. She was always open about her problems and struggles in her normal life she didn’t really communicate on a one to one basis. Examples could be retweeting someones tweet or perhaps sending out a personal message. To me it just seemed as if it was all for business. She also decided to abandon her YouTube channel leaving a lot of loyal fans upset with someone they idolized for so long especially people of the lgbt community as she was a strong advocat in trying to stop lgbt members from comitting suicide.

This is shown in the advert as both women going in to kiss the man enticingly. The punchline states “what a delicious dilemma!” which a feminist would say is dehumanizing the 2 women and comparing them to chocolate. This also shown in the mise en scene as the womens clothing match the chocolate wrappers. Further connoting that eating chocolate can be just as pleasurable as women can be. This reinforces the fact that women were just seen as ordinary objects around the house. The male, a stereotypical middle class breadwinner is holding the box of chocolates above his crotch which could be denoting a phallic symbol within the poster. He is also centrally fram...

(8 marks) A. ownership of these newspapers can alter the content they release and also how they choose to present that information to the public. for example red top newspapers tend be less formal and on the front cover tend to have some sort of pun relating to the main headline. these type of newspapers tend to have a lower demographic and appeal to the middle class audiences and any central/left wing audiences. both newspapers usually portray a secondary story/article on the front page however the mirror uses images to portray the story whereas the the times just use a headline. further portraying the sophisticated nature of the times. the mirror also have a pug and puff on the top of the cover to show vouchers for supermarket stores again this ...
