How is mark zuckenburg is represented in the trailer?

3. How is mark Zuckenberg represented in the trailer?

Mark is represented in the clip as being not a confident person and not a very popular person when he was at school. We interpret this from the way he speaks in the trailer, his pace of voice is very fast and quiet, a voice you would hear from a weak person. He seemed to be not very popular from the enemy's he has made from creating Facebook. Also that he wasn't scared of people even though that he was going to be sued, the way he reply's to the women in the court at end. He had quite a hard time making Facebook  as people tried to steal the website, be sued for 600 million by his best friend, which shows hes also secretly strong to be that determined to carry on with it. This is shown well by the structure with of the trailer, and the ups and downs that went on with creating Facebook, it was never smooth at any point. The trailer also shows how much he put at risk, just to get "500 million friends"

Question 2

Question 2: How does the tariler engage the target audience?

The trailer engages the target audience using a range of ways. One of these include the camera angle which have carefully been thought about in this trailer. At the start of the clip we see a fade montage of pictures from facebook which are clearly pixelated. This represents how there can be a story behind what we can see, and it can be more than meets the eye. Also they use quick editing shots  which are very fast paced which is in relation to just how fast facebook became sucessful. The music in the trailer is very slow,very downbeat music which works well with what we see as there were ups and downs to making facebook, but throughout, It was a massive struggle. The structure of the trailer is very clever as it is so relateable to any person, and how mark was just a nobody who no one knew of until facebook was a hit and how he overcome those. One peice of dialouge used in the trailer grabs the attention of the viewer. " You dont get 500 million friends withoutb making a few enemeys on the way." This adds a question to the viewer as we are keen to find out what will happen in the story, and leaves us urging to want to watch the film.

Vurbmoto website review.

http://vurbmoto.com/



My review on the vurbmoto website:


The design:


The layout of the website is very plain and simple, in order to not distract the eye when looking at the website. The colour scheme runs throughout the website, its bold, easy to look at colours that work really well. The buttons are very plain and are not hugely clear by the name of them as to what they are, which i think just adds on the curiosity on to what is in that tab, but also is an issue at the same time, as i found that i was forgetting what they were. The front page is very simple too, with not masses going on, just simple, and really effective. It makes it look really clean and tidy, inviting you to look more into the website. There is very little use of advertisements away from motocross in general, i think they have used this to ensure people aren't scared away by them as they can make the site look dodgey.


The target audience:


The target audience for vurbmoto are aged 16-48 and are keen motocross riders or fathers of schoolboy riders. This is due to the use of showing amateur racing, aimed at interesting the kids mainly to see themselves in the videos and to see how their friends got on, and then you have the pro racing side, which is aimed more for the fathers.


Features:


They have Facebook and twitter pages, which both add great interaction with their fans, with the use of discussions, posting all their videos, links to other sites and generally replying to their fans on twitter, which I think they care about their fans, which makes people feel more special. Also they use an chat on the website which helps to make the fans feel part of the community. Their are loads of videos on the website, which shows that they are appealing more to men, as men are more likely to watch a video, over reading an article. They also use links with instagram, with people posting pictures and them showing them on website, which once again, adds to the interactivity.


Peace!

Hillsborough

Hello guys! Just wanted to talk about my feelings on the Hillsborough event that happened in '96. This was a brutal, horrible, event that should never be repeated. People dying that could of been prevented is wrong. Trying the fake and hide the evidence against the police being in the wrong is wrong. I think the worst thing about this is that it could have been controlled if the police weren't so stuck up, I mean, why would people want to crush themselves? why wasn't there more attention focused on the over packed pen? So many questions that need to be answered. The police need to be the bigger ones and just stick their hands up and admit that they were in the wrong. Surely they have a heart, I mean, look at all those friends, family's, girlfriends, boyfriends that were destroyed by the loss of their love one. I think all they need to do is just say sorry. How hard is that? R.I.P those 41 people who died <3

Abit about meh.

This is a little background into me and where my love of bikes started and my second dawn to dusk experience :). The plan for this blog is mainly for school work only, with media studies. But ill try and do some other posts to do with other stuff, like with racing and personal experiences with it. Ill be mainly discussing stuff happening within the news so look out for that. Anyway i'm Matt Gore, 16 and from camarthen. I live with my mum and dad and the little rat of a dog, Alfie the border terrior who's three. I've been into motorbikes since I was 3 and racing motocross since i was 6. At 10 my dad decided to introduce me into enduro, starting off with 1 hour and a half races with wyre forest enduro club and did so for a few years. Then started to want to do more extreme races and more harder events so i decided to start doing Carl tileys in wales. The events are always really good and are well organised. After doing a few of them, just to mention they are double the time of the wyre forest ones and I was racing with adults when i should be still in the kids races! Then last august me and my good friend Jack Davies from cwmncarn, raced the dawn to dusk 6 hour 2 man race. We ended up coming 4th after just missing out by 3 seconds on going out on the next lap, meaning we would of probably got third. I find the event okay and it really suited my riding style. So after leaving we said we would do it next year and get on the podium. 2012 arrived and the suzuki was not able to be ridden due to the constant engine problems caused to burn a huge hole in my dads pocket so i didnt ride for months, which didn't bother me too much as I still had downhill to keep me busy. And then in early July, I got my new bike, a brand new honda crf 250x. I had a matter of a month and abit to get used to the bike, set it up, and run it in. But in the end it all paid off. The honda worked a treat in the this years Dawn to dusk. I got the holeshot and we ended up 2nd overall, even when i got a flat tyre on the last5 miles of the last lap. Result! Was very impressed with it and was a big relief of getting on the podium and the honda working a dream! Cant wait for next years dawn to dusk! Peace! Links to the clubs mentions below:

So, THQ  are rubbing it in in peoples faces that they have are not making anymore games even more this week. They have announced that the glitch involving Canadian players not being able to see there suzuki and honda bikes they bought, which they cannot see, is not being fixed. Ha. How nice of them. Now they have announced that all places that have bought the suzuki, and honda bikes from the DLC will now loose them and they wont be refunding. Right, how is that fair when people, like me, have spent at least £10 on the bikes for this game, are now being told that we cant use them. Can they be any worse to their fans who have sticked with the franchise throughout?! It just goes to show how much they couldn't care less about their fans and are only worried about money. Typical.
