Media Regulation : Rupert Murdoch

Dear Jon Cruddas, I am writing to you to address the situation about Rupert Murdochs demands to own the entire BSKYB organisation. I believe that he is not the right person to own this company and furthermore he owns too many companies in the country, so him owning the entiere BSKYB would just be greedy instead of designating the roll to someone else who deserves it. He is also not capable of running the buisnesses that he owns now so why would he a reliable source to own  BSKYB? Fair enough he plays a big role in society but he is not living up to his reputation.

Also with the attempted allegations of being apart of the phone hacking scandal should be one of the biggest doubts as to why he should not run BSKYB.

He breached the privacy laws of the Data Protection act by hacking into peoples phones such as politicians, celebrities, the British royal family and the Deceased Milley Dowler. This imoral act led to the closure of the News of the world. I personally think we can not trust Rupert Murdoch for this acts this and last year and that if he was to own the whole of the BskyB that it will be very narrow minded, and he will own let people see what he wants to see instead of uncovering the full story. I believe that he will use this company to his full advantage which will soon lead the media into a lot of trouble in the near future. He would have the advantage of performing acts like he did with the phone scandal and be able to get away with it and easily breach laws because he owns the whole company.

I'm sorry but this should not be allowed and his postion of being the full owner of BskyB should not even be considered for the medias sake.

Frankie Boyle

I would like to defend Frankie Boyle for his mistaken disgusting behaviour on his show on Channel 4. Frankie Boyle brought up Jordans son Harvey who has a severe disability and lightly mocked this which to some was seen as disrespect instead of a joke. Frankie Boyle did not intend to insult Harvey but to give the audience something to laugh about. A celebrity like Frankie Boyle who has regular comedy shows displayed on TV would not choose now of all times to intentionally disrespect someone elses disabled son unless it was something personal. Someone in his position who has a lot of fans and people who idolize him would not do this to be little him or to embaress Harvey or Jordan. Channel 4 encourage equality for all races, religions and disabilities and strongly aim to maintain this by making everyone equal. So jokes that might involve race, disability or religion is not intended to discriminate them but for them to feel included instead of discluded.

Dear The BBC,

I am writing to you in regards to the disrespectful comments made by David Starkey discussing the riots on BBC's News night. David Starkey falsely outlined as to why the the London Riots had begun. In his interview he stereotypes an entire race and strongly argues that the black race has influenced other races to behave barbarically. Not only was it stereotypical , It was also racist and prejudice. 
I took huge offence because I am part of the black african race and feel as if we have been victimised by people of high athority, and have been labelled as a group of people who share the same characteristics other than different individuals with different circumstances like the entire human race.

I also couldn't understand how someone who plays a giant role in London would be so narrow minded and old fashioned. Someone who has this position in society should be open minded, bias and an inspirational speaker.
He has no right to display the upmost disrespective on Tv and for the most thing it gives the public a bad look on the BBC and question your morals and beliefs as a company

My Full name is Chenai Georgia-Louise Mashongamhende James & I am 18. I am currently a New Media student at CWC.  I have a huge passion for fashion & photography

and have created a fashion photography blog with one of my class peers which is becoming very popular amongst teens. The pictures can be found at www.supremesoulsteam.tumblr.com. The photography reflects how I dress and showing others what I aspire to be.  I aspire to be a photographer or fashion stylist in the future so I am getting as much experience as I can working with other models and clothing lines to add to my online portfolio

Pictures below of what inspire my fashion & mind state

 I enjoy all genres of music  from reggae, to dubstep to hip hop

My favourite snack and drink is

My Favourite cartoon is Fosters Home of Imaginary Friends. Reason being is because I admire one character in the programme called Cheese. He is a very weird and abnormal character who is weird and so random and who doesn't make sense this describes me perfectly also , so I feel like i share a connection with I'm because he is not understood. ( Cheese is the yellow one in the middle)

Self Evaluation
 1. I think that half way through the process we managed our time very well because we had missed out on the first week because all group members were ill and we knew that we had a lot to catch up on so we buckled down and worked hard and productively. 2.
One example of us manage our time effectively was filming all the ident in one lesson which gave us a lot of time to edit our footage. One way we could have improved out time management was making sure that all members of the group are in the lesson and on time so that we can start our work immediately instead of waiting and relying on others. 3. I would rate my other crew members a 4/5
 4. I gave the above score because we all worked collectively as a group and all put in a great amount of effort to create our finished product. We all got along very well and didn't experience any bust ups or disagreements. We all put forward our ideas comfortably and were also assigned roles that suited our own personal skills
 5/6.I think i fulfilled my role well , I was able to create 3 creative ident mind maps to brainstorm our different ideas. I also always had a positive attitude and always suggesting my ideas even if they weren't great.

Cut out animation evaluation

Cut out animation Evaluation

Cut-out animation is one of the oldest forms of animation. Cut-out animation involves moving cut-out shapes in small steps and taking a picture at each stage, this is a lot less work than having to draw every single frame of the animation.

Cutout animation is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: cutout shapes arranged on a flat surface, and manually moved and repositioned to simulate animation. Cutouts can be colored paper, white paper with drawings on it, even photographs, and can be completely flat or can sometimes be 3D object

The cut-out animation technique is great to use when you want to create an animation that looks fluid without spending hours adjusting individual keyframes and producing artwork. This technique is used to produce a range of popular animated television shows including South Park, Blues Clues and Angela Anaconda.

One pioneer of cut-out animation is Terry Gilliam who had a unique visual style of sudden and dramatic movements and errors of scale. He uses surrealist landscapes populated by large buildings, Victorian objects such as prams, statues, machinery and cut out people from Sears Roebuck catalogues for the characters. He successfully obtains new and humorous meanings the tradition of surrealist collage assemblies.

 The process of cut out animation from : http://animation.about.com/od/faqs/f/What-Is-Cutout-Animation.htm

First the scene is created using cutout objects, laid out flat against the background image

The scene then has to be adjusted to the next frame in the sequence, much like stop-motion animation / claymation - making it notably different from traditional animation. Rather than working between keyframes, cutout animation has to be produced from beginning to end in sequential order, with each change between frames involving minute adjustments to the assembled pieces before the next image in the sequence is captured on video. Sometimes parts of animated cutout characters need to be changed out, if the character changes the angle of their position or changes facial expressions. Facial expressions can be drawn on different heads, or the different facial features can be cutouts themselves, allowing them to be moved or swapped out with different features.

This method of animation is what creates the signature somewhat jerky style, even when animators strive to create completely smooth motion. The cutout pieces can often seem to jitter and bounce in place.

Cut-out animation, of course, does have limitations. Because the cut-outs are flat, they must work across or up and down the screen in a flat plane. Despite the difficulty of cut out animation it is still a relatively simple animation style that is quite popular among novices because it requires little drawing or application of complex animation principles

Clay animation

Clay animation or claymation is one of many forms of stop motion animation. Each animated piece, either character or background, is "deformable" made of a malleable substance, usually Plasticine clay. In clay animation, each object is sculpted in clay or a similarly pliable material such as Plasticine. Using Plactercine is a very flexible method of animation because it is very easy to create characters exactly how you want it and to move objects such as arms and legs correctly to look life like. Clay animation is 3D animation so you are able to move the objects freely in most dimensions, able to lift & also turn over objects which you can't do in cut out animation because it is 2 dimension.  As in other forms of object animation, the object is arranged on the set (background), a film frame is exposed, and the object or character is then moved slightly by hand. Another frame is taken, and the object is moved slightly again. This cycle is repeated until the animator has achieved the desired amount of film. To achieve the best results, a consistent shooting environment is needed to maintain the illusion ofcontinuity. This means paying special attention to maintaining consistent lighting and object placement and working in a calm environment.
Great care must be taken to ensure that the object is not altered by accident


Clay animation has been around for decades and has been popular particularly for children’s television programs and movie-length features
One of the most famous practitioners of the clay animation style was Will Vinton, who began experimenting with the style in the late 1960s and onwards. Some of his most famous productions include ‘Will Vinton’s A Claymation Christmas Celebration’ (1987), ‘Return to Oz’, and the television series ‘The PJs’. Will Vinton has trade-marked the term ‘claymation’ as applying specifically to his work and style of clay animation, however the popularity of the technique in recent years has lead to it becoming a generally accepted descriptive term. 


Other examples of other films/tv shows with clay animation is , 'Pingu' , 'Wallace & Gromit' & 'Chicken Run'.


The disadvantages of clay animation is that it is very time consuming , it takes a long process because each frame is created individually. Each second usually varies from 20-24 frames per second.

College ident

A Zoetrope is a device for giving an illusion of motion, consisting of a slitteddrum that, when whirled, shows a succession of images placed opposite the slits within the drum as one moving image.  The Zoetrope is based on the same principle as the phenakistiscope, but is cylindrical in shape. This enabled several people at the same time to view the moving pictures - an advance over the single spectator of the earlier toy. The English mathematicianW.G. Horner was the first to describe the zoetrope, calling it the 'daedaleum'.


The zoetrope, or Wheel of Life, was another early optical toy. The cycles have to be very simple, and are made of only 12-14 images.

Eadward Muybridge

Eadward Muybridge was a British photographer who is well know for his pioneering work on animal locomotion which used multiple cameras to capture motion in stop-action photographs, and his zoopraxiscope, a device for projecting motion pictures that pre-dated the flexible perforated film strip used in cinematography. Eadweard developed a fast camera shutter and used other state of the art techniques of his day to make the first photographs that show sequences of movement. In 1879 the Zoopraxiscope was developed, which projected a series of images in successive phases of movement obtained through the use of multiple cameras. Eadweard Muybridge's most famous motion studies, a row of cameras snapped a dozen or more photographs of a passing horse; the public was astonished to see proof that a trotting horse can simultaneously have all four hooves off the ground. For this experiment Muybridge devised a fast camera shutter and used a new, more sensitive photographic process, both of which dramatically reduced exposure time and produced crisp images of moving objects.
