Reviews off IGN Are Useful because the give the review that their gamers have given it (10/10) and a general overall public review, it also gives you the option to give your own review which will add onto their public total. IGN is an established Website thats been around for years and is known for being reliable. Although IGN havent left any words about the game they have a comment section below full of comments and the publics' thoughts and opinions on the game.









The good thing about Gamespot is that again it has a rating (9). And it points out positive features about the game and things and things that the public talk about the most, but it also points out the bad things, theres more good than bad, which is what you'd expect but at least its honest.

The Telegraph is an established paper/website and is probably reliable, how ever it doesnt really give much away, it has a rating but it doesn't have any words about the game and doesn't have any user comments... Just a star rating and a picture from the game.

The Inbetweeners

Funny props 

• Car Door etc

Funny Costumes 

• Monkey costume
• Vest and Speedos
• Niels lack of clothes

Dialogue 

• 'Clunge Mobile' 
• 'Inconsiderate Arseholes' 
• 'Think of the little lovelys in there' 

Narrative

•  wills kicking off, The way the camera cuts to the hearse then back to their faces. 
• Flash Backs of whats previously happened
• Jays Dress Sense and dialogue. It shows he's desperate for female attention when he tries to make simon follow a car with girls in it. 
• Jays shirt is tucked out and hes very slouchy, where as will is all tucked in and smart
• You Can tell the show is aimed at younger men by the language used such as 'Visual W*** Bank' and 'Paying for rent boys can't be cheap'. it just shows the ladly 'Banter'
• Jays Sexual Dialogue, it shows its a comedy.
• Non Diegetic sound track, its quite upbeat music 
• Close up of the driving instructor squeezing Simon's legs 
• Enigmar codes 'Simon never did tell us what happened on his driving test'
• Will has allot of Voiceovers, they just kind of direct the viewers abit
• 'Shotgun' shows youthful slang. 
• The Enigmar of the worry about the car door and Niels friend working in a garage, but at the end we find out its a Petrol Garage. 
• At the end we see a flashback with a orange colour correction, slightly slow me and a voice over, this shows its linear 

Men would watch this because it shows a the 'Ladly' perspective in life and men like to see that. it shows crude sexual comedy, which men also seem to like and is relatable to allot of men. Females would watch this because it shows inside life of lads. Also they might watch it just because its a comedy and people like to watch comedies. The Oppositional reading would probably older people who find it too crude and get offended easily or Parents. Parents that are over protective and scared if their children watch a TV show they might pick up Habbits etc. 

Song: Kid Cudi - Mr Rager

Style: Narrative 

The video for this song is narrative. We know this because of the use of Cinematics, and staged choreographed fighting, The Narrative is He's fighting the men who are symbolic of his issues. and it represents him defeating his issues. The Lighting sets a tone for the video, its a very dark and hard light. It fits the mood, its gives a negative and violent feel to the video.

Documentary Unit Evaluation

Our documentary worked in my opinion, our aim was to show people that you can eat fast, but not fast food. Like, you can eat fast and conveniently but in a healthy manor. We interviewed people who have first hand experience in fast food and selling food etc, We interviewed a Biology teacher after lesson and she gave us some insights on how fast food will have a negative influence on your life. We interviewed a few public people who eat fast food regularly and their responses were good for our documentary, it showed people are unaware because our public interviewees didn't think it would have a major life effect on them and they just thought people over exaggerate. Then we interviewed a Man who owns a stall in ashton (Bushti Cafe) He sells jamaican food, like chicken wraps all cooked in a jamaican recipe, His food was not fatty and rich in vitamins etc and he was saying that having a mcdonalds practically next to his stall really affects him badly. The Only thing that i think we could of improved was maybe the quality? Could of played around with the lighting abit more and made it better in some interviews, but besides that i thought it was fine, could of also been a little longer.
Skills i learnt making the documentary was i got to use after effects more and play with stuff i had a vague idea on but now i can do properly, like Typography.
