WOMEN ON MARS!!!

This is my Media Photoshop work for today. As you can see it is a women crouching on mars, this is not possible now because we do not understand the qualities of mars.

Anyways i done this by using a pencil tool and then using the paths tool to cut her out. Then we pasted a random picture from the internet and made it look like she was crouching on the moon.

Smart People in The Media.

Introduction:


Over the years smart people in the media are viewed as nerdy little people with glasses. When most of the time this is not true in real life. I know loads of people who are my friends that are not kids with glasses. 


Film:
Harry Potter is perfect example because if harry potter just came out and and he wasn't wearing glasses and was wearing a tracksuit, with blond hair. You would think this wasn't a film about wands and wizards. 


This picture shows him writing down, signifying he is obsessed with work. Also it shows him alone, again signifying he is obsessed with work and there's no time for friends. 




This Milhouse from the Simpsons,This Picture shows him at his weakest, were people always think he is the weakest. It shows that people will think that he is scared as everything.
















Television: 
This is Tamwar Masood from the very popular TV program Eastenders. He is represented as a nerd,  see how they didnt get a actor with a Six pack or perfect facial features, no they chose the one with glasses...

PSB is important because it gives us a range of different channels that all the great British public to enjoy.   

For license fees:
I think it is good that we have license fees because if we didnt we would not be able to watch and listen to the latest media is. 

Against license fees:
We shouldn't have them because it costs money and some people don't have the money.
