The layout of MOJO is more simple which connotes (=has associations of) appealing more to the target audiences eyes, middle aged people are more likely to buy less colourful and cluttered magazines.By contrast, the layout of We Love Pop is more messy and colourful which connotes to catching the target audiences attention, it has a lot more pictures of the people featured all messily placed.

 

The typography of MOJO is more simple which connotes (=has associations of) there are less fonts dancing around the cover making it all fit together nicely. By contrast, the  typography of We Love Pop is more random which connotes to being a lot more un focused but every font catches you and makes you read it. Basically being random like the generation it’s appealing to.

 

 

The colour palette of MOJO is limited to mostly having dark colours .which connotes (=has associations of)this makes the band look more eye catching with the brighter colour compared to the rest of the cover but also makes them look more intimidating. By contrast, the colour palette of We Love Pop is bright and colourful which makes it seem visually noisy and loud. The colours are trying to steal your attention.

 

The language of MOJO emphasises the bands prime time whereas the language of We Love Pop is more focused on the pop stars lives then their music specifically.

The Avengers, the first five minutes

 

During the first five minutes of The Avengers a lot happens. Firstly it starts off with a panning shot from the beach to the ocean, then to a shot showing a man, supposedly a fisher man holding a knife before looking out into the distance to see a black dot approaching the shore. As the black dot moves closer to the shore you start the make out what it is. It turns out to be a walking bin bag and a man breaks free. The man is dressed like a typical gentleman, dressed in a suit and tie and a bowler hat. He goes to ask the fisher man directions to little Baisley then promptly leaves with a few parting words of it’s going to rain. Then it cuts to London with Mr Steele going to miss Peele’s apartment and ringing the doorbell to see a frightening looking peephole made to look like an eye with thick eyelashes, this is somewhat used as an eye catcher as it is weird and quirky but also unexpected. Mr Steele enters the room to find miss Peele practicing her fencing. Mr Steele tells her to straighten her wrist and to put her weight on the other foot. Mr Steele and miss Peele have a fencing match where mr Steele dances around the room to avoid her attacks but ends up getting caught anyway showing us how strong and flexible and shows her feminine power.
