Late Night Woman's Hour

Late Night Woman's Hour

  • Format: The format of the show is a podcast. This is evident due to the fact that the women on the show can say whatever they want and discuss the topic on the podcast for as long as they want to, as they aren't producing a live broadcast that gives them time constraints. Late Night Woman's Hour is proved to be a podcast because the episode lengths are never the same, and furthermore they are available to anyone, anytime, unlike a live broadcast which has a very short viewing life.
  • Themes and Subjects: There are many different subjects discussed in the Late Night Women's Hour, many which are repeated to typical "feminine" topics, such as fashion, feminism and women's rights. Some examples of the episode titles include "Fatshion", "Feminist? Seriously?", "No Wanting Children" and "Gender Price Gap". Some of these episodes are about more serious subjects than others.  
  • Structure and Content of Typical Episodes: The episodes aren't really structured in any specific way, as they always talk about the subject in any way they want for any amount of time due to the fact that it's a podcast. The upload schedule of the episodes is very scheduled, as it's always uploaded on Wednesdays, however unlike radio shows it can stay on the internet to be viewed at anytime. For example 'Fatshion' only lasts for 8 minutes in total, whereas the discussion on 'Love Island' lasts 18 minutes. The episodes have two main host (Emma Barnett and Lauren Laverne), however different people are included each week and are interviewed by the host, which gives a variety of different opinions to the podcast.
  • Presenters: There are two presenters of Late Night Woman's Hour, who are:
    • Emma Barnett: She is the most recent Late Night Woman's Hour host, as she has been the host since January 2021. She has quite a length broadcasting background, from 2011-2014 she worked for LBC, then she moved onto work for BBC Radio 5 Live from 2014-2020. Now she hosts Late Night Woman's hour on Radio 4 and is a common presenter on BBC Two's Newsnight. She is currently 36 years old, and in many ways is seen as quite similar to other presenters. 
    • Laura Laverne: She is an English Radio DJ, model, television presenter, author and singer. She was the lead singer and additional guitarist in the rock band Kenicke. She has 20 years of experience in the broadcasting and music industry. Apart from the podcasting she hosts BBC Radio 6's music Breakfast Show, and weekly at the helm of Desert Island Discs on BBC Radio 4. She is currently 42 years old and is also quite similar to other presenters. 
  • Use of Spoken Language: The language is informal due to the fact they aren't really careful with what they say because they don't have to be due to the fact is not live on air, so they're able to say anything. This is because there aren't really any restriction to what you can do on a podcast compared to a live radio broadcast so it's not really scripted, and if you make mistakes it doesn't matter as much on a podcast. As Emma Barnett says, during the episode nothing is off the table. 
  • Use of Audio Codes: Each episode starts with the typical BBC Sounds audio, which gives a few brief words about BBC sounds which lasts around 3 seconds in total. There isn't any music that really happens in the podcast, as the episodes basically center around the discussion of the topic. The only other bit of audio we are given is at the end of the podcast, which is also about BBC Sounds' podcasts and Radio 4 in general. 
  • Opportunities for audience feedback: There isn't anywhere that I can see an opportunity for feedback on the actual BBC Radio 4 or BBC Sounds Page for the podcast, so the only places that feedback can really be given about the show is on social media, where people can discuss it with other fans of the podcast. 
  • Marketing / Advertising: Ther is some mild advertising at the beginning and end of every podcast, as there is a small mention at both points about BBC Sounds.

Black Panther Overview

Black Panther Overview Why is Black Panther defined as a mainstream film? Is the film a part of an ongoing franchise with links to other media products and therefore a large pre-existing audience? The film Black Panther exists as a part of the Marvel Universe, so it's part of a well known ongoing franchise that most, if not all, people already know exists, so the film will already be popular with people who know that franchise as they have a good reputation. This means that the film will be able to be marketed a lot easier with the Marvel branding behind it, as people will pay more attention towards the product because it already has a large pre-existing audience.  Narrative Structure: Is the film linear and does it have a clear and upbeat ending? any room for a sequel?

Kiss of The Vampire Analysis Product Context: Was intended to be the sequel to the 1958 film Dracula, however the film's script makes no reference to stoker's character, perhaps to distance itself from any comparisons between the both  In addition to this film, Hammer had other hits in the horror/monster movie genre, including 'The Mummy' and 'Frankenstein'  Media Language Cultural Context: The audience in the 1960's, we would assume, would be familiar with the codes and conventions of 'monster movie' posters, eg it's composition, fonts and representations of the monster and its (usually female) victims Codes and Conventions: The serif font creates connotations linked to the vampire film genre with it's wooden styling - maybe references the coffin that the vampire lays in or the stake used to kill the vampire  The painted main image is conventional of the films of the period - links to the poster of Christopher Lee's 'Dracula' T...
