News: An evolving media product

The Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
In the Daily Mail online, the layout is different to a print. This is due to is being easier to access different news story and different types of information due to it being under certain sections. There is also more images and has a clearer layout due to the unlimited amount of space the online page has in comparison to a printed newspaper with limited space. The political ideologies remain the same as it is the same news stories just produced in a different way. The political stories are mainly the headlines and are viewed on the main page of the online edition which you are taken first too. I think that the online edition is more for the younger generation as it is more accessible as you can just get it on you phone without having to go out and by a newspaper. Whereas the print is more for the older generation as they are stereotypically known not to use the internet as easily and prefer to read a newspaper.

1. What Media Language have you used in your title sequence and how do they follow the codes and conventions of this element of a TV Drama?

-As you can see from what our opening scene we have lots of scenes which suggest what will happen in the show. This is a very common technique in crime tv shows because it intrigues the audience so that they want to watch the program because you start to get a sense of whats going to happen in the show.
2. What genre is your TV Drama and how is that made clear in your title sequence?
-The genre we've used is crime. We have made it very clear that it is a crime drama because you can see that there is a large use of weapons drugs and violence which is a big part of this genre. Also have included aspects of the police which means that there is an element of risk in the show which entertains the audience.
3. When in your episode will your title sequence occur and why?
-We will have a recap at the start of what happened in the previous episode so that people who have forgotten or are coming back to the show knows whats going. After we are going to have the title sequence which will be clips from throughout the series that have already happened.
4. How does the mise en scene of your title sequence suit the chosen genre, setting, era and narrative of your programme?
-The props that are used in our title sequence will relate to crime because they are the stereotypical representation of what 'young' people use to commit crimes and to get into trouble. We also have the enforcers who are the police which give connotations of flashing lights and cars.
5. Who would be the target audience of your programme and what will appeal to them about your TV Drama idea? How is this communicated in the title sequence
-The age range that we will be going for is 14-24, this is because they can relate to the characters because they are the same age which means that if they have problems that are the same as the character then they might be able to not make the same mistakes.
6. What TV Dramas did you refer to for inspiration for your own original idea?
-Power was one of our groups favourite shows which is why a lot of our themes are the same we both have the drugs and violence and also have the thrill of having police that could catch them at any point and change everything.
7. If you were asked to complete a textual analysis of your title sequence, how would you comment on the director's use of camerawork, editing, sound andmise en scene?

8. What are the strengths and weaknesses of your title sequence? 

Strengths of our title sequence is that is it very gripping and you get to see and  understand the series. A weakness is that the title sequence may give off too much information of what is going to happen.

Opening title sequence.

Power: In Power, throughout all 4 season the opening title sequence remains the same. The song in the background which may be portrayed as the theme song is 'Big rich town' by 50 Cent who plays the role of Kanan in the program.
