Fifth Harmony - All In My Head (Flex) ft. Fetty Wap








As soon as the song starts they go through all of the women and they are all warring different cloths to draw in the watcher and they are all revealing also like in the picture there hair is quit messed up and looks like they are all having fun. It goes through all of the women one by one at the start and they do a sort of pose. also looking at the way she is looking with her mouth partially open and her hair messed up it also make the viewer feel as if she feels pleasure.






After they have all been introduced and done their little intro part one at a time they all come and then at 24 seconds they are all in the water together this gets across that they are all having fun and it also draws inn the male views as they are all dressed in a way that draws in male views (male gaze). Also because they are all wet and have their hair all messed up it makes the viewer connect it with pleasure and orgasms.

At 32 seconds in they get close shots of the women to draw in the viewers  this shows that she wants us to see her and the way she looks so she is showing her self off to the viewers. Also she is looking directly at the camera so it gives the impression she is looking at us. Also she is sticking her chest out so this makes the viewer look at her.


It will also appeal to females as there are men that are coming out of the water so this will draw in the females and also he is in good shape so he is  showing him self off to the viewer and wants them to look at him. also because of the dark stone behind he stands out a lot and is the first thing you look at.



At 47 seconds there is another close up shot she is also lying on the beach and the way that she is holding her hair it gives over the impression she wants your intention  and again gives over the image of pleasure that she is portraying in the positon she is in. Also the lighting being so bright makes her stand out a lot so you focus just on her as there is only sand in the background so there is only her to look at.

this is a close up shot again but this time it is on a male so this will draw in the women back in the video he is also looking at the camera so it looks like he is staring in to the viewers eyes, by doing this it draws in the viewer as they feel like he is looking at them.

Representation in Our Girl

we have watch some of the TV dram Our Girl in class, it is all about a woman (Georgie) that is a soldier and gets taken by terrorists she says that she is a medic so they do not kill her as if they found out she was a soldier they would kill her. Georgie always looks respectable and clean even tho she is in a war zone.

Georgie Lane is a very strong woman and is represented that way in the episode she meets Kicki who has also been taken prisoner and she lives up to the stereotype and is giving up on hope but Georgie is showing strength and determination and is not being the typical stereotype she is showing that women can be strong. George is determined to find a way to survive and get free. Georgie also talks Kicki in to escaping even tho she has no motivation to try but in the end she helps when she is out and they are trying to escape out of the camp she still shows weakness and wants to get out quick "we need to go" as Georgie is looking through pics and stuff in the room instead of rushing away, this is showing courage and that she is not worried and wants to find out information whilst she is in the camp instead of running away. this shows that she has a lot of confidence and is showing again that she is not the stereo typical image of women in war, also other media shows and films make the women get stereo type worse as most war films they do not use women as solders so our girl goes against the typical stereo type and shows that women can be soldiers as well.
As the ambulance goes round the bend before they get attacked it shows a established shot of the ambulance and the sound of the ambulance sirens which shows its going fast. After that there is a over shoulder shot just before the shooting happens this gives you the view of the drivers and makes you feel like you are there and makes you see that it is going to go wrong after this all of the editing is cut together very fast this adds tension as the drivers are shot. there is diegetic sound used for the guns which gets across the message that they are being shot and also three use a low angle shot on one of the shooters ton show he is in power. After the drivers have been shot the editing slows down as the antagonist gets out of the car this shows power. Georgie hides her tags and then screams which is showing weakness as they take her out of the car, music is used to build up the tension as they throw her in the back of the pick up. we then get a view of one of the attckers from her eyes seeing what she will see. As they drive away the music gets louder and takes over her screaming.

Film production is the process of making a film. 

For the exam you'll need to understand all the stages of film production, these are:



Development - This is simply the process of 'finding' a story. Ideas for films come from a variety of sources, they can range from novels, real life events to computer game adaptations. Once you've got an idea you'll need someone to write a pitch for you which you take to a film producer in an attempt to get some funding to make your film. Even at this very early stage you need a very clear idea of who you're aiming you film at so you can include elements that will appeal to them.
Pre-production - Once you've got funding you establish your budget and can begin to get a film crew together, you can storyboard the script. You also need break the script down into individual scenes and identify all the locations, props, cast members, costumes, special effects and visual effects needed.
Production - This is simply the process of 'making' the film. Provided you've done your job properly in the pre-production stage making the film should be straight forward. 'Film' is very expensive and difficult to store so an increasing number of film makers are using digital cameras to save money.
Post-production - During this stage you take all the 'film' you've shot and give it to a film editor. They will then begin putting it together. Special effects will be added, a soundtrack will be added, any missing dialogue will be re-recorded and added resulting in a 'rough cut'. This will be shown to the director and a test audience who will offer feedback. Often this causes scenes to be filmed and added or removed

I have done the uk tribe quiz and it says that I am a car enthusiasm, I believe this is quite accurate as I love cars and enjoy doing them up so I believe that the quiz has gave an accurate description of me. also I own my own car now which I am doing up at the minuet.

my style
I try to keep my style different but also ware some clothes that are in fashion, my fashion also changes with where I am as if I'm going out for dinner I will dress smarter but if I'm just going out to see friends I keep my clothes casual. some times I do see actors with a jacket on that I like so it makes me go and buy it but I don't dress to look or act like anyone I just dress how I feel. I have added some cloths that I own bellow.

I believe this would get in to my top ten as it looks very interesting and I like the mystery part.

Victoria(ITV) also looks very good being based on queen Victoria beginning with her accession of the thrown at 18 to marriage to prince albert. this is very interesting and also gets over the history of queen Victoria and  I belive this would get in too my top ten as it seems very interesting to watch.
