Shiro's Story Andrew Goodwins's Theory

-





















At the start of the music video we see a close up shot of shiro's face, which looks determind and serious, this can symbolise that Shiro's a serious character. This link to the context, which is urban and we know is urban becuase we see Shiro's and his friend in a car exchanging money, which can symbolise that they are in a dodgy business meaning the area they live in has high crime rates and people are doing anything to get money. Furthermore, this looks to Andrew Goodwins theory as the close up of Shiro's face links with the words that are being bought up from Shiro, which are 'who wins this race is the gretest' therefore, the visuals have to link with the lyrics/words to make the video flow smoothly. Moreover, the shots we see after the close up of his face are shots of him and his daughter, this can symbolise that shiro has a family and the video is showing the viwers that he does.

A relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. In this part of the music video we can see a long shot of an elderly woman seating on the piano. Furthermore, we can see a small box on top of the piano.

This is linked with Goodwin's theory as it shows us that the  lyrics and she is pronoucing are linked with the visuals we are seeing. A relationship between the music and the visuals.  In this part of the music video we see a long shot of Dizzee Rascal hanging about next to a off licence and him talking about the girls. When they walk past we can hear little bell ring, this can represent the way the puppets are walking. This links to Goodwin's theory as as the digetic sound of the bell ringing can be ...

In this magazine Ferguson's theory is applied as it suggests that woman in the magazine are meant to be portrayed as beautiful. The magazine portrayed woman being aspirational as they give the tools, in this case, is the bottled beauty, this tool is given to the woman in the magazine to make them look beautiful, and the woman reading this will construct an image of how they should be looking. Furthermore, the article features a woman who is using the product, she looks beautiful and is showing another woman reader how they should be looking. Moreover, Ferguson's theory is applied to that in many different ways, such as in the image we can see the woman touching her face, this can symbolise that the woman on the cover is suggesting that woman are meant to be more beautiful.

Woman's monthly magazines are more aspirational than weekly magazines? Monthly magazines are seen as more aspirational as their content and images are more aspiring to people as they look up to that person. Furthermore, monthly magazines due to their budget they can afford better qualitty paper, they have more luxurious look and feel which can mean they can engage their audiences as their magazines include high fashion models and better quality quotes, which means the audiance will inspire to look up to them and be like that model.
