Syrian War
The Syrian Civil War has been going on since 15 March 2011 and is still going on. The conflict is regarded towards the Ba'ath government and forces who want the government gone. Many presidents and British MPs have discussed the issue with the war and ways to prevent the many deaths and refugees that have increased since the war began so long ago.
Specific UK Issues
- Brexit was first talked about and voted for through a referendum on 23rd June 2016 where 51.9% of citizens voted to leave. On Friday 24th May 2019, Theresa May resigned from being MP after being MP for nearly 3 years. When she entered 10 Downing Street, she made 2 main goals clear; to hell more 'ordinary working-class families' in general life and to deliver Brexit that British people voted for.
- Grenfell Tower: in the early hours of the morning on 14 June 2017, a fire broke out in the kitchen of a 4th floor flat at the 23 storey tower block in West London. the fire quickly spread across the entire tower where 72 people lost their lives. One reason the tower fire spread so quick is that the building is partly made out of flammable materials, including a polymer foam.
- Windrush: This Scandal is a political scandal concerning people who were wrongly detained, denied legal rights, threatened with deportation.
- NHS: During 2016, many junior doctors forced strikes throughout London where thousands of appointments were forced to be cancelled due to the 'significant' impact on the healthcare provision, according to the junior doctors.
- Charlie Gard: Charlie Gard is an infant from London, born with MDDS (a rare genetic disorder). This became a huge story after how the only medical cure for this was to fly to USA to have surgery, as they said they can perform the surgery, which Charlie's family was happy to do, but NHS said they shouldn't take him on a plane due to health reasons.
Cultural Trends
- Films: More recent films have been lacking originality due to many methods of film production already have being done, so creating a new formula is harder to do. Currently, remakes are a popular way of making a new film such as Lion King
- TV: Similar to films, TV series' are lacking originality due to the massive growth in production. So many series' are simply using the same formulas to previous seasons to re-create a new season with a cheap price to air.
- Music: Music genres are slowly being limited to 80's and 00's pop due to this being the majority of what people listen to. This is where many artists make their money, reasoning why the genre is most popular
- Video Games: With the increase in technologies within the recents years, the interest in video games has gained due to new game opportunities being allowed.
- Youtube: Youtube has slowly increased its viewership where daily viewers, uploads and amount of content has all increased, being free to post, watch and enjoy.

Charity Ad Poster - Practical
1) I planned my print advert via drawing a model version of it on my I-pad. I labelled it including handwriting and the backdrop etc. |I then also listed all my ideas of what i wanted my advert to include and the reasoning for my ideas. I then narrowed down my ideas into a smaller list to complete my plan.
2) During my research and planning, I had to take into consider the lighting and message behind the poster. I wanted to make the message and target audience clear from looking at the poster. I did this by using quotes from the bullies which stated the things they said to the actor in the poster.
3) I believe that my advert was successful because the target audience was well established and it also gives the message i wanted to portray.
4) Others that I have asked say that it is "very effective" and "easily gives away the target audience"
5) I have learnt how to use lighting and other components such as location in order to make an effective poster with a message. I have also learnt how to portray a message and how to make this effective when adding text onto posters and other layouts.

Charity Essay
Analyse how social and cultural context can influence advertising. Use Fig 3 to support your answer.
In your answer:
- Anaylse how social and cultural contexts influence advertising
- Make judgements and reach a conclusion on why they advertised in this way. (15 Marks)
Shelter is a charity advert that helps people, typically people with homelessness and bad housing, who are out of homes or are facing the threat of losing their home from the government. The charities have produced adverts that advertise how different individuals who are different circumstances view their issues and how it’ll affect their lives.
These adverts contain emotive language in order to gain sympathy from all viewers and readers. The word that are written across the page, all in bold, red text, makes the reader think about others and their situations, making them feel sorry/sympathetic for those who suffer from homelessness, where they could potentially donate and help the cause of the charity. Due to these texts across the page being rather simple and vague, it seems more hard-hitting for the reader and occasionally makes them think how this situation could easily happen to them, their friends or their family members, further wanting them to donate to help.
The 3 individuals who are used in Figure 3 show a lack of representation as it portrays the emotion that homeless victims face on a day to day basis; nothing and straight-faced. This is also how homeless people are viewed to the typical working class person, who assume all homeless people don’t have feelings and aren’t to the quality they could be, with creased clothings and rough skin condition. Although it is hard to tell the individual’s ethinicity, it does correlate to the topic of how anyone can easily get into the circumstance where they are facing the loss of their home or have lost their home, all around the world. And with the issues with immigration, this is harder for them to get a home back as they are not being accommodated by the government of that country.
The logo for Shelter shows the audience how housing is what the company promotes and helps. The ‘h’ being the shape of a house instantly is recognised as a charities that helps homeless victims. Also with the logo being red like the main body of the advert, the red shows the negativity that the homeless victims have to face on a daily basis.
The target audience for these advertising posters are individuals with the age over 25 years old. At this age, majority of young adults either own their own property and pay rent for a property, where these issues related to homelessness relate to the person the most. People these age are most concerned about rent and payment as they cannot potentially be getting paid enough for all the rent and also extra possessions a typical 25 year old has. So this age group being in these advertising posters reachers out to the young adults more as they then think about how it could easily happen to them.
In conclusion, Shelter have made their adverts to make their public who read these posters understand the feelings that the victims of homelessness have to suffer and makes the public want to donate to help this cause.

Big Issue Essay
These front covers are like adverts for the magazine, because they both tend to reflect the influence of consumerism. The Big Issue magazine is design to help out the homeless which tend to gain a more political focus. For example, one magazine front cover studied Paddington with the headline 'Migrant British Icon One Of Us.' This suggests a query of why we have all accepted the loving bear into England, even when he is a migrant from Peru. This is the contrasted to real life where citizens are judging migrants for stealing our jobs and other queries that have been raised.

Minecraft Construction Task
Evaluation:
1) The task that we were given was to create some merchandise based around Minecraft and insert our product into a print advert. Before beginning this process, we had to research current merchandise to see what is already made and how they are successful.
2) The name of my brand is 'Minecraft Merch'
3) As previously talked about, we had to research already made products. So I simply googled for Minecraft merchandise to see what is available and successful for my inspiration.
4) The main gap I occurred is that I wanted to make something that hasn't really been made prior to this, but there are so many products based around Minecraft, that I found it quite hard to think of an original idea.
5) My initial feedback was to adjust the layout of the original design so it was more formal am the background of the actual product was more visible.
6) I thought that the concept went well as it is an original design and also how I portrayed it onto my print advert went well.
7) I have learnt how to edit photo's in a way that presents a concept successfully and can sell a product.

Minecraft Essay - 724 Words
Minecraft is a sandbox a video game created by a Swede called Markus Persson. A sandbox is a type of game where other than the map, the game depends on the user’s imagination. In Minecraft, players can create structures using textured blocks in the random 3D world that the computer generates. The game originally started just as mining, building and surviving back in 2009 but has massively grown into a lot more where the capabilities of the game are endless.
Minecraft can be played over almost every console and device possible with the following being included: PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, iOS devices, Android devices, Windows phones and also a variety of VR companies.
Minecraft can be played over almost every console and device possible with the following being included: PC, PS4, PS3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, iOS devices, Android devices, Windows phones and also a variety of VR companies.
Minecraft has had huge commercial success, with over 154 million copies sold all over the world with a calculated 91 million monthly players on the servers across the 116 countries in which it is possible to play in. When Markus Persson (or Notch) first created Minecraft on May 13th 2009, he soon created Mojang AB, a developing company, for Minecraft to grow and maintain its popularity. But on 15th September 2014, Minecraft and Mojang AB were acquired by Microsoft for a total of $2.5 billion (£1.9 billion) due to the game’s success and profit. This has affected the game massively by a rise in 50 million copies sold since this date, but also making the game less audience oriented in the process. This is because of Microsoft not being able to have a larger connection with the audience due to the company size, compared to Persson who could have this connection. Minecraft have also produced sequels to the game but with more of a purpose. These games include: Minecraft: Story Mode where there is a set story and campaign for the player to experience, Minecraft: Education Edition which is a limited version of Minecraft used mainly for school purposes to expand students knowledge in the classroom.
With the uprise in Minecraft users, which started to become popular in 2010/11, Minecraft decided to add in-game currency for players to be able to use skins in game. Skins are a fan-made aethstetic looks for your character to have to make your account and worlds more personalised to you. These skins are both fan made and company made. These were originally just the classic ‘Steve’ skin which Minecraft is associated with, but over the years, more skins have been developed for the public to buy over micro-transactions. These can then be set in game for the player to use online and offline.
Minecraft Realms is an official subscription-based server hosting service that allows players to create and manage their own private Minecraft servers. When Realms was first released in 2013, it required a micro-transaction payment of $7.99 but recently on the mobile devices, it doesn’t cost to make a Realm server but does only last for up to 120 days before deleting automatically.

Radio 1 Self Test

2) The Breakfast Show aims to have an audience of 15-29 years old.
3) Because the breakfast show is owned by the BBC, only adverts from the BBC can be shown under their rules and regulation, much like the TV channels. This compares to smaller radio shows where they can gain more income from advertising a more variety of commercials.
4) Phone, Tablet, Radio, MP3 Player, Laptop, Mainframe, Supercomputer, Watch.
5) The audience can interact with James via the games in which he hosts. These include many fun games such as 'Pass the Pasty', 'Unpopular Opinion' and 'Jan Slam' where all games consist of the audience participating in various challenges and fun in order to win various prizes that Greg James hosts. James also hosts many quizzes per day where the audience can submit their answers via the show's social media or by ringing into Greg James himself.

11) The program interviews many celebs every morning/week. These go from top class singers to other celebs with current news stories to the UK's favourite comedians and actors. Majority of these are British as it is much cheaper and easier for the program to get them onto the show but you may get the occasional foreign celeb who is in London at the time.

R1BS Practical
Evaluation:
1) The task that we was assinged was to create a 3 minute clip of a Radio 1 Breakfast Show audition where would over run Greg James' position. We had to cover various topics whithin this 3 minute clip: 30 seconds of News, An interivew with a celebrity, Music, A game that we have to make up, and social media.
2) My group are George (News), Sam and Maisie (Interview), Brooke (Game) and myself (Host)
3) The fresh idea that we came up with was our game where an audience member would willingly ring up and tell us a secret confession they had kept for however long.
4) We did an interview (Maisie being the interviewer) who interviewed Sam who acted as Danny Dyer where questions about Danny's relation to Richard 3rd were asked and other questions on topics that had recently been in the news.
5) We chose Mabel - Dont call me up, Sam Smith - Dancing with a stranger and Post Malone - Wow. We chose these songs as they are either British, popular artists or upcoming artists with talent. we chose this because this is what the R1BS repreents and wants to recognise.
6) The running that we decided was Mabel, Sam Smith, Gameshow, Interview, Post Malone, News. We chose this running order as it fit all aspects of the radio show into the 3 minutes and set a stable structure for the audience to follow.
7) We attract the audience via inviting them on our show to be part of our various gameshows and quizzes, where they can win prizes and be included within the breakfast show
8) Our product fits into the remit because it entertainments and educates all memeber of the audience.
9) As an improvement, we could've maybe had an additional quiz within the 3 minutes to furthur engage our audience, but with our given time, we wouldn't have time to do this.
10) Our initial feedback was that I was too monotone, news was a little too quick and I said the time at the end wrong.
Radio 1 Breakfast Show - Essay
How is the BBC Radio 1 BS reaching, targeting, and encouraging audience interactions?
- Who is audience (age, class, gender)
- How radio keeps audience
- How audience gets pleasure from radio
The Radio breakfast show helps to entice the audience through various contraptions such as competitions and games that potentially done correctly leads to significant rewards. The target audience is incorporated alongside with the music choice and genre as the audience that listens enjoy the music and tunes back into the vast playlist or remixes. They manage to get the audience to return is due to the originality of the show. Radio 1 reaches to their audience by throwing huge events such as their Big Weekend music festival. The big weekend is a music festival run by BBC Radio 1 that is held annually throughout different UK venues. Whilst it used to be the biggest free ticketed event in the UK, it now charges a fee of £15 but is still a huge event where thousands of people still attend. This hit music festival is one of many reasons why the audience of the Breakfast Show is keeping, even though the show’s rough times.
Another reason of why the Breakfast Show’s audience is always being reached out to is because of the show’s social media and how often Greg James and his production team and on social media, interacting with their audience. They have an Instagram, snapchat, twitter and facebook page where they connect with their audience via giveaways, game shows, and links to the show. From here, the audience can react and interact with Greg James and other members of the audience via answering game show questions, taking part in the show’s wacky games and then replying and commenting in audiences comments and posts.
When radio 1 brought Nick Grimshaw, Grimmy. he was largely expected to boost the rating because of his celebrity status and young people connection. But, when he joined the breakfast show, these rating suffered heavily and instantly fell. Funnily enough, as soon as he resigned from the Breakfast Show and Greg James stepped in, these rating shot back up after the loss of 9.37 million listeners per week from Grimmy's entrance. Greg James was able to obtain an extra 231,000 listeners in October to December of 2018, averaging a total of 5.11 million listeners per week which the audience being aged between 15+.
With the arrival of Greg James, the audience has been more involved than ever. This is because of the various games and competitions that James hosts. These include many fun games such as 'Pass the Pasty', 'Unpopular Opinion' and 'Jan Slam' where all games consist of the audience participating in various challenges and fun in order to win various prizes that Greg James hosts. James also hosts many quizzes per day where the audience can submit their answers via the show's social media or by ringing into Greg James himself. The show also provides educational news to their audience each half hour with a separate news reporter for the audience to engage and have an interest in.
