Ideologies
Ideologies
This quote from Kat Dennings goes against normal ideologies because most people would love to be famous, and they don't care what they are famous for as long as they are. This tells us that due to the portrayal of celebrities and celeb life, people want to be famous, to be like their idols but people that are famous know the work you have to put in.
This magazine with Dave Grohl on the front portrays ideologies such as, people in bands and associated with the rock genre are scary, and menacing. It also plays against certain ideologies though, such as, he has long hair, usually meant for girls. Also, the whole band are in his mouth and very small, portraying that he is the main guy in the band, and the others are inferior.
The poster above, featuring Kate Moss, has a woman standing there in dark colours like grey and black, and quotes "Nothing tastes as good as skinny." This promotes anorexia, and tells girls if they want to be skinny and look like this they should not eat, starve themselves, and it also portrays that it won't hurt them but they will feel good about it, and it will make them look and feel better if they are skinner.

The American Film Industry
The American Film Industry.
Origins of American Film Industry.
The origins and development of the American film industry are from the period 1895-1930.
During this time the emerging industry developed into an important popular medium organised into clearly defined exhibition, production, and distribution elements.
The Studio Era.
The period from 1930 to 1949 in American film industry is known as the studio era.
There were the 'BIG FIVE' /majors.
All of the big five studios are vertically integrated. This is a company is organised so that it oversees a product from the planning/development stage, through production, to marketing, and distribution, through to the consumer.
During the studio era the Big Five owed to production studios, the distribution companies, and most of the cinemas in the US.

The end of the Studio Era.
In 1949, the major studios were forced t sell off he cinema chins that they owned by the US government, after a court ruling that their practices were monopolistic.
The American film industry declined further in the 1950s due to the rise of television.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that Hollywood studios fully recovered.
The Contemporary American Film Industry.
The American film industry is now dominated by dix major film companies.

Our edited video.
This is our editing video^
The editing techniques we are showing are:
Eyeline match: A type of edit which cuts from one character to what that character has been looking at.
AND
Cross cutting: The editing technique of alternating, interweaving, or interspersing one narrative action (scene, sequence or event) with another - usually in different locations or places, thus combining the two: this usually suggests parallel action. Often used to dramatically build suspense in chase scenes or to compare two different scenes.
