Pulp Fiction Synopsis

Pulp Fiction Synopsis 

Pulp Fiction is a film based around a number of peoples lives during the drug scene of the 1990's. Jules Winnfield and Vincent Vega are hitmen out to get back a suitcase that was stolen from their employer, Marsellus Wallace. Marsellus told Vincent to take out Marsellus's wife while he is out of town. He also played a boxer named Butch Coolidge to lose his next fight in order to win a bet. The film also stars other characters such as Honey Bunny and Pumpkin, a couple that decide to hold up a restaurant, Mrs. Wallace, Marsellus's wife, and other smaller characters in the film.  The film tells each character's story by showing several short scenes of what they are doing. All the characters tie together in the end.

What I used to find out my research

I used one to one quantative methods to find my research.

I was given a sheet of paper with 2 circle outlines on it. Each circle had a hole on it to cut out. I attached elastic bands to each of them and tie them together. Each circle had a picture on; in this case it was a bird and a cage. When I used the elastic bands to spin the paper, it gave off the illusion of the bird sitting in the cage.

Radio and the Youth Audience

From the articles I have read, young radio audiences are on the decline because of the fact that the young community prefer choice. What I mean by this is that young people would prefer to listen to the music that is on their MP3 Players, on the Internet through YouTube etc, rather than music that is broadcasted on the radio. This is because they have a choice on what they want to listen to, all they have to do is select their desired music and listen to it. On the radio, certain music is played through a charts system, like the top 10 tracks that are popular at the moment. Which unless the listener enjoys the music that the radio is broadcasting, they have no input in what is playing. They could change to a different station, but that station will most probably play the same music that is on the first station, just in a different order. Young people not listening to the radio is bad for the radio companies, this is because it is a massive chunk of the population that could be listening to what they broadcast, but choose not to. There are many other, free ways of listening to music nowadays, such as:

Using the internet to find your desired music using YouTube (64% of teenagers listen to music on YouTube), Spotify, Last.fm, and many more.

Using a mobile phone with music on, many of smartphones such as the iPhone can have a whole library of music stored on them.

Using an MP3 Player to access music.

CD Players/Stereos.

Going to gigs from your favourite bands.

Attending clubs which have artists performing.

Going to an artist’s concert to listen to them perform live.

Ways that radio can appeal to younger audiences are to bring in a phone line system in which the listener can phone up the radio’s hotline and request a song for the radio DJ to play. This would help younger people be interested in radio, and help the station out by attracting a larger audience to listen to their station, and bring extra money in from the mass amount of people that would be phoning in. another way that radio could appeal to younger audiences would be to organise concerts managed by the radio station showcasing the hottest acts of the time, although some radio stations already do this, they could make it more personal by asking a poll of people which artists they would like to see there. Again, this would help the radio station by gaining more listeners, people could bring friends/family along that have never listened to the certain radio station and become interested in it and listen to it. Another way this would help is that the radio station would earn more money from the tickets being sold, in which are needed to join the event. This would also help the artists performing by bringing in a much bigger fan base if the listeners enjoy what they are hearing.

Watch Dogs

 

The official trailer has been released on YouTube of the new game "Watch Dogs". The first thing you notice in the trailer is the look of the game, the graphics are stuning. Whether this is a compliment to the standard of the PlayStation 4's graphics, or just this game. The opening cinematic looks so realistic, the colours are perfect, the city's surroundings make the game come to life. As for the gameplay, the trailer shows a small portion of a chase scene. By the looks of it, it is a free roam game, much like Grand Theft Auto or Saints Row. The city looks perfect to roam about in, there is a range of vehicles to drive around in, an overall big city to cause havoc in. The chase scene involves a man mugging a woman, you come out of nowhere and chase the mugger through the city until the police turn up, you run through a store, which means there is some sort of customisation added to the game, which is likely for a free roaming game. You end up having the ability to stop a train and ride on it to get away from the police, also you destory a camera which is focused on you, which looks like alot of fun, having the ability to stop/destroy what you want. As for the objective/theme of the game, the trailer enphasises the use of hacking alot. For instance when you walk by all of the many NPC pedestrians, you can see information about who they are next to them, name, occupation etc. Also, the trailer shows your character taking a pedestrians bank details and removing all their money from their bank into your pocket, which looks like a very easy way to gain money. The "slogan" of the game the "Hacking Is Our Weapon" which sounds interesting and different to all the other games being released at the moment. Overall the game looks supirior, you don't know much about the story as it is only a trailer but it is all to look forward to.
