The document provides an evaluation of a media project titled "Young & Beautiful" that was inspired by the song and artist Lana Del Rey. It summarizes the goals and themes of capturing a vintage, carefree atmosphere through location filming, costumes, editing techniques, and influences from Del Rey's work. Footage of holidays and summer was used to illustrate lyrics about freedom and romance. Editing with faded transitions, montage cuts, and effects aimed to flow like memories. Characters represented reminiscence, younger happier times, and a romantic male interest. The genre displays conventional themes of alternative pop through romance, cinematography, and editing that attract the target audience.

This document discusses Jean Baudrillard's concepts of hyperreality and simulacra and how they relate to media representations of reality. Baudrillard argued that the media can create idealized simulations of reality that become indistinguishable from reality itself. This leads to a "hyperreality" where audiences' perceptions of the real world are distorted by artificial media representations. The document analyzes how this applies to topics like gender and beauty standards in advertising, war reporting that constructs narratives, and how viewers may mistake simulations for reality. It also references Dove's "Real Beauty" campaign and the controversies around its approach to portraying women.
The document discusses the British class system and how it is depicted on the reality TV show "Come Dine with Me". It first provides definitions and background on class systems and categories in Britain. It then analyzes interactions between characters from different classes on the show. Two unlikely friendships are noted, challenging stereotypes, as well as some initial wariness between a working class and upper class character. Behavioral differences are also observed, such as an upper class character making themselves seem smaller in contrast to a working class character who uses exaggerated gestures. The analysis suggests class still influences how people perceive and present themselves to those of other classes in social interactions.
Amelia Cranstoun is proposing to produce a double page spread exploring the stigma behind the British class system as portrayed in reality TV. Specifically, she will analyze how different classes interact and are treated on the reality show "Come Dine with Me". Her production work will not involve collecting materials off-campus or interacting with human participants. It poses no foreseeable risks to participants.
