Deutschland 83 advert analysis

• The sound and editing is very important in any advert as it grabs the attention of the audience as it has to compete with every other similar advert. This is especially the case with Deutschland 83 due to the fact it is not in English so they can not use speech in order to entice the potential audience. The use of the 50/50 screen edit shows the contrast in East and West Germany.
• The countdown of the clock leaves the audience wondering what it could be. As well as this, the use of facial expressions of Martin's face in the supermarket makes us wonder where he has been living.

News Assessment

Research into 1980's Germany

Germany was divided into Eastern and Western Germany.


- Germany's Capital, Berlin was also divided East Germany and west Germany.


- The West was very capitalist, modern, free owned by the UK and USA, whereas the East was communist under 
the ruling of the soviet union. The East was government controlled using the secret police, The Stasi.


- There was a space between the wall called the death strip were people would be shot dead if entered.


- There were several checkpoints that people could cross between, mostly UK and the American people. One was called Checkpoint Charlie used primarily by Americans.


- It stood for 26 years but in the 1980's many started to criticize the wall. In a speech from the American President Ronald Reagan said 'Tear down this wall!'


- This then lead to many Eastern Germans to protest the wall, resulting in them destroying it by hand.

- For the first 7 years after the split, people were allowed to travel between the borders which let many people in 
the east move to the west.

-In August 1961, the border closed splitting Berlin, splitting up families and an 87 mile concrete wall was build to divided the two sides, there were 176 watch towers making sure people didn't cross.

Daily mail vs Guardian, front cover, 7th November 2018

	GUARDIAN          DATE	DAILY MAIL     DATE
Topic of Story –Eg World, Politics, Human, Celeb. How much Hard/Soft news?	World news and Domestic news. Hard news all over due to the importance of stabbing dilemma and US voting. November 7th	Domestic news and celeb. Hard and soft news due to the split between Catherine Zeta-Jones and ‘Knife Thugs’ November 7th
Headlines/Captions of similar stories	‘Change school closing times to curb stabbings, says doctors’ ‘Sleep Leisure Fashions off duty look for winter’ Very serious and less catchy headlines than the Daily mail due to their target audience want to read serious articles.	‘Why won’t the lock up the knife thugs?’ ‘Liz 53, and the joy of not acting your cleavAGE’ These headlines appear to less intellectual (use of puns) than the Guardian’s due to the difference target audience they aim for.
Choice of Images	The images on the guardian show historical photos that represent a serious matter for example the ballot boxes or WW2 image.	Their only photos are off female celebrities and still using them to entice readers. The images take up a much bigger proportion of the front cover than The Guardian.
Evidence of Objectivity/Subjectivity	The guardian use more objectivity due to the fact they fail to give a strong opinion and let the reader make up their mind themselves.	Daily Mail uses subjectivity as it uses terminology such as ‘thugs’ and ‘cleavage’.
Compare ads – what are they and who are they targeting	They are aiming for the ABC1 demographic although they do not have any adverts on the front page.	Aiming towards the C1, C2 and D, demographic although they also don’t have adverts on the front cover.
Anything other interesting expression of news values, beliefs?	The Guardian shows 5 different stories, this may be done in order to entice more readers as circulation is continually dropping.	Considerably less text on the front cover compared to the guardian.
