Grange Hill Analysis



Opens with school crest/ name of show, the flashing 'loading' icon suggests a more modern take on the titles and also connotes some sort of computer game. Long shot of the school campus, camera is shakey-overall look is that of a computer game. The various graphics on the screen emphasise the game aspect with phrases such as 'level up' appearing once the stereotypical bully is defeated.

Hannah Montana Analysis

Created by: Michael Poyres (2006)



Camera: close ups/mid shots
close up of name of show-billboard-establishes the show and the fact that it is a brand -popular.
mid shot of protagonist in film reel-emphasises glamour , fame, same for all the cast credits.
majority are mid shots/ close ups-identify with characters-see their expressions. miley is centalised throughout-more on screen time.
cuts back and forth between shots of her performing on stage and her normal life with friends to show the divide between the two characters-emphasised by the song-'best of both worlds'-showing how she can have a normal life as well as live the life os a popstar.

Pan of the crowd-high angle shot of her onstage showing her to be popular and a role model or an idol that kids can look up to.
