Institution

What is Institution?

A media institution is someone that owns a large number of companies in various mas media such as television, radio, newspaper, movies and internet. There are the big 6 media institutions that own 95% of the total media. The big six consists of GE, News Corp, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner and CBS.

 

These big six media institutions have been slowly buying other companies to own a bigger share of the overall media. In 1988 the media was owned by 50 companies and today it is all owned by six.

Rupert Murdoch controls over a 5th of the media. Rupert Murdoch owns News cooperation which is one of the big six. This also means that he owns Fox, Wall street Journal and New York Post. This means Rupert Murdoch can control what does and doesn't go into the news which gives him a lot of power. 

Mood Board

Mood Board

 

The mood board shows everything that will affect our opening as we will take inspiration from a lot of things that i will show below. We use the mood board to get a better idea of what our movie will look like and what we want it to look like. Our opening is based around some kind of criminal activity. The idea of it a heist/kidnapping idea so we want the start to be quite dark but also pretty fast paced. There are six characters, 5 criminals and one girl. The criminals will be wearing masks and will start off in a van.

Characters

 

The first character will be played by Max who plays James - James is a henchmen for Jade who is in control of the group of criminals. He is independent as shown throughout the movie opening as he goes off by himself a lot. Whereas all the characters wear black, James wears a blue jumper to show his independence.

 

Next is Megan who plays Ellie and Jade - Ellie is a normal girl who is just at home. She is a typical teenage girl who is the innocent party in what is going on. She wears normal clothes. Jade is Ellie's twin sister who is involved in some sort of criminal activity. She wears all black but directs the others to show her authority.

 

Then we have Melissa who plays Rose - Rose is a loyal follower to Jade and specialises in working with tools and breaking into areas that they need to go to. This is shown when she breaks into the house in our opening. She is very tough and can definitely handle her own but likes being in a group. She wears all black with the rest of her crew to show she is a criminal.

 

Lastly we have Spencer who plays Tom - Tom is the guy who has anything that you need. If another member needs some kind of tool or weapon, Tom is the guy to get that for you. This is shown when he hands Rose the tool case so they can enter the house they looking inside. He will wear all black as well to fit in with the group.
