Habbo hotel learner response

2) Furthermore, the use of bright colours used in he extract and in the background at the presenter fit chanel 4's remit of being crearive as normally news channels keep the colour scheme dull and simple. Although this specific story about habbo hotel could interest children who could be watching the show along-side their parents.

3)Moreover, channel 4 can be described as explorers from the psychogrpahics groups because it is investigating things not normally investigated by other news channels. Moreover, channel 4 would appeal to mainstreamers but isnt considered as  mainstream as itv for example which wouldnt broadcast a story like this.

4) furthermore, the extract presents young people as vulnerable. Although as dyer suggests those with power sterotype those without power, so the older white, middle class male presenter would imply to the audience that children are vulnerable online.

Section A John Lewis-Learner response

Camera work editing and mise-en-scene are used extensively in the clip to show a woman appearing in the 1920's dating a man from the present day. Through the use of mise-en-scene the audiemce can get a glimpse of what life was like in the past and to see how things have changed since then for example with the man wearing 3D goggles at the cinema and the woman enjoying a black and white film, nevertheless, both are still snacking on popcorn, a treat associated with watching film. Moreover, the use of long shots allows the audience to apprectiate more things in the scene for example to notice the difference in infrastructure and more specifically the differnence in the way the cinemas looked.

Furthermore, editing is cleverly used in the clip to put the two scenes set in different centuries together to make the events in each scene appear to be happening simultaneously. This is seen when both are riding bikes through the park and attending the coffe/ tea shop. Furthermore, a sepia filter is placed over the womans side of the screen to clearly illustrate to the audience that this is set in the 1920's.

La Sombra

Human trafficking

Spain is currently grappling with its Human Trafficking problem with an estimated 12,000 victims earning the gangs $6 million everyday. 62% of all victims transported by the gangs are women and are mainly used for sexual exploitation elsewhere in Europe. 25% are forced into labour whilst 14% are victims of organ removal which are subsequently sold on the black market. Many of the victims do not wish to speak out against the traffickers in fear for their own lives however one woman last September did and was granted asylum in Spain and Traffickers were punished, however the punishment for human trafficking is a mere 5-10 years in prison. This sentence should be greatly increased for the crime being committed although human trafficking wasn’t a crime in Spain until 2010. Helena Maleno is an expert in this field and said, “To raise society's awareness about what is happening, it has to be made clear that trafficking is not prostitution or irregular immigration, but that there are undocumented immigrants and people who are sexually exploited who are victims of trafficking,”

Shadow of a doubt…

Have an insight into the complex and conflicted mind of a ‘Sicario’ and the even more twisted mind of his boss. La Sombra may be the silent type but his mind is very active and something which he iterates frequently is ‘"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men” La Sombra has an unconditional hatred for his boss however, in a world full of fallen angels you must shelter under the broken wings of one of them. Over a  prolonged period of time La Sombra has acquired a certain set of skills which make him a nightmare for certain people but he’s as much of a danger to himself than he is to anybody else.  With traumas suffered as a child and a lethal drinking habit, not to mention the several undiagnosed mental health issues he suffers with it’s a miracle he has found love in his shadowy world. But then again it’s a small world and little does La Sombra know he is in love with his bosses daughter.

Facing demons

This can be used literally and figuratively in the film. Everybody has their ‘demons’ and the film explores the problems faced by the individuals in greater detail. Don Javier, the human trafficking boss may seem like he has everything but is seriously damaged inside. You could argue he his a psychopath by showing no remorse for his crimes and to do what he does to people he must be hiding a secret of insane magnitude. Moreover, Maria Don Javier’s daughter must live with the thought of knowing what her father does and what he did to her mother many years ago. The silence of La Sombra is him facing his demons by suffering in silence but at the end when he is faced with the bill for his mistakes he must pay…
