Production: Defining Television Programme Programme title Who Killed Him? Genre Crime. I was unsure on whether I would settle on a comedy-drama genre however from my research it seems as if the target audience are interested in crime shows. From this, I aim for 'crime' as my main genre and include drama tones as my subgenre. Summary of programme themes It will probably be based off of the other typical 'fictional-crime' shows and movies. Since the rest of my television series will be based off of the first episode and most importantly the opening, it will have to be produced and made well. Since it will be crime, the opening could be a murder scene so that it sets the plot for the rest of the series and makes viewers focus on the details of the opening. A scene like this would be a great way to introduce the characters. Similar programmes Spooks; Murdered By My Boyfriend.

Just like many of her other songs which are linked to the subject of 'Black Lives Matter', her controversial song 'Formation' was very spoken about back at its time of release. The song was released the day before her Super Bowl performance for her album 'Lemonade'. It seems as if she did this on purpose so that she could grab all the attention and as a way of promotion from the Super Bowl event which is watched by around 100 million people. In the music video, the first line of lyrics is by Messy Mya who was a popular YouTuber and rapper before he was shot and killed in 2010. He says 'What happened at the New Wil'ins?'. Since he was born and raised in New Orleans it is an intro to what the video is about and refers to Hurricane Katrina which was one of the deadliest hurric...

How do the representations in Figure 1 position the audience to desire the Patek Phillipe watch? Figure 1 is a poster which advertises the Patek Phillipe watch. First of all, when looking at the colour scheme used, it is simple and not colourful or vivid. The colour palette chosen is unusual as the image of the poster itself is in black and white with the only other colours being gold for the logo and brown for the banner which has the watch in silver and blue-grey. This colour scheme could have been chosen to make the audience focus on the watch which is in colour and stands out as well as the black and white image of the man and his son which is the main focus. The logo and text is in gold which normally symbolises wealth or something expensive and luxurious which in this instance is the watch. The brown banner gives the feeling of old and antique however with the gold text, it gives the audience the impression that it should be kept in good condition to maintain its value over t...
