George Ezra - Blame It On Me : Mise en Scene

In this music video by George Ezra, there are many different things that show us Mise en Scene. For example, the lighting throughout this whole video is very high and bright. This shows us that the mood is happy and excited, which is what they want the audience to feel when watching the video. It mainly uses natural light as the day itself is a very bright and sunny day. With the use of natural light it gives the video a sense of realism. The sound in the video, or the actual song, is a very happy and jolly song which gives the listener a happy mood and makes them feel happy. All of the sound in this video is non-diegetic because it's added in after so the quality of it is of a good standard. 
There are many camera angles and shots used in this video, for example, long shots. Long shots in this video are used to show the surrounding areas of where they are at that time. The most used camera shot is a close up of the face. This is used to show the person singing and to show their facial expressions and how they are feeling. There are also many panning shots to show people or things moving vastly or on a big scale. Some times there are times where the camera is hand held, this gives it a sense of realism and makes the audience feel like they are there.

Representation of Gender - Geordie Shore

In Geordie Shore the difference between men and women is very obviously shown. This is mainly shown in a sexually presented way. The men always try to 'pull' many different women and the same with the women but opposite. All that is represented in Geordie Shore is sexually related, party related and drink related. It's almost as if this is the only thing they have to worry about. Men in Geordie Shore all have the be stereotypically muscely, good looking and all have quiffs. The women all have to spend hours doing make-up and getting ready before going on a night out. So, basically all that really matters is looks, sex and partying.

The Queen in the Newspaper - Representation of Class


This is an example of Class in the media. How upperclass people such as the Royal family get much more media attention than normal working class families.
