UK Ad break Trailer




Be aware that these adverts that are featured in the Lego 'TV Advert break' trailer are all real adverts that were being broadcast at the time The Lego Movie was released. Here is an example. Audiences would see the humour in these parodies and would recognise the well-known brands. This shows that The Lego Movie trailer is targeting an older adult audience.

News Revision: The Observer Newspaper (1960s)

Observer front covers  You are expected to be familiar with two contemporary front covers and three historical front covers (The Observer 30 October 1966, 6 November 1966 and 20 October 1968) The historical Observer newspaper covers were chosen to help you gain a knowledge and understanding of how media language was used to construct representations in the 1960s and the contexts that affected those representations. You must study the contexts associated with the set covers and develop an understanding of the differences between how these media products illuminate the changing contexts of the 1960s and the present day, enabling you to develop a detailed understanding of how they appear in mainstream news media and its associated social and participatory media.

Representing Historical Contexts

Image
Explain how broadsheet newspapers reflect the time and historical contexts in which they were published. There are a number of ways in which newspapers reflect their historical contexts, in the way these contexts influence their producers, their audiences and the world that they represent through their news stories. Britain in the 1960s was a more patriarchal society and this meant most journalists were men, that audiences expected patriarchal representations, and the mostly political news that featured on the front pages was about powerful political figures - nearly all men. Only one female politician - Mrs Castle - features in the three front pages below. Britain is becoming a multicultural society in the 1960s but still saw itself as white, and race relations as a 'problem'. What stories in these front pages reflect that tension in British society? The newspaper is trying to be liberal on 'race issues' but still presents a very white point of view. There is muc...
