cuffs

 Cuffs:

the camera work shows how the bully confronts the man trying to pick out his food from the shop and this therefore makes us feel intimidated by him and also can cause us to feel scared.  it also doesn't show his full body so we dont know what has happened to him and we want to find out, but the way he falls makes us realise he is dead. also the way that the camera tracks his body as it slowly falls to the ground.

john Lennon prep

 

 On this Mojo cover, we see John Lennon who was part of the most famous music group of all time. the magazine has lots of colours and images on it. This is the same with most MOJO magazines as they want to pack as much information on the cover as possible to give the reader a chance to see what is inside the magazine without giving the whole story away. This allows him be the main person on the cover which attracts the reader to the magazine. I think this creates and makes it seem that John Lennon is a great musician and will forever be respected. While John Lennon is the main focus, different musicians are also mentioned in the cover lines for example Nancy Sinatra, David Bowie, Pink Floyd and The Stone Roses. These names would appeal to many readers as they are all quite well-known musicians and the older generations would be reading this.

they can also keep viewer loyalty by adding cliff hangers on some of their episodes, this will engage the viewer and make them come back for the next episode.
