Magazine 1: I found this magazine quite interesting because it discusses the issues of symbolism. It questions the meaning of objects and things. Moreover it is based on tv soaps such as Eastenders and Dr who. One of the stories that got me thinking was an article on the Kat and Zoe issue from Eastenders. The story challenges the symbolism of objects such as Zoe's teddy bear which had a symbolic meaning rather than just being a realistic object. In addition the whole idea of objects having a deeper symbolic meaning in general got me thinking about things that occur within the television platform.
Magazine 2: This magazine focused teenagers and teenage movies. One of the articles which I found different yet interesting was on the teen movie mean girls which is an American teen movie. The article discusses the social, historical, political and economical issues on how teen movies have developed from 50years ago to now. Moreover it states the conventions of a teen movie and why they are successful: the geek, class president, and the romantic couple.
Magazine 3: Personally I found this magazine a drag and it was a bit boring. Due to me being ignorant to most of the actors and actresses being mentioned.

Critical investigation
Facebook is a social utility that connects people with friends and others who work, study and live around them.
The main subject of our link production was facebook stalking among teengagers within London. Our Link Production focused on vox pops from parents, teachers and students. we wanted to find out whether children whom use facebook find stalking and peadophilia a problem. we concluded that they were scared of getting added by people who they don't have mutual or common friends with.
we also asked teachers what they thought about this issue they exclaimed that facebook is not private and random people can add u so the security is not as high as it could be.
teenagers are encouraged not to add and accept random adds however 1 in 40 people still do it.
we did vox pops so we could get a clear grasp of facebook stalking, this was our primary source this was a useful source.
we found that teengares did not see any harm in accepting and adding random people however victims of stalking and peadophilia within facebook have advised people to be careful.
anything that is on facebook is not only seen by your friends it can also be seen be different people whom you might not now.
a teacher mentioned that they are worried and scared that someone that they know will be a victim of this therefore there advice to teenagers is clear: not to add people or accept people whom you don't know and to make your facebook profile private so that only your friends can see it.
statistics have proved that 26million people use facebook in the UK and the numbers are increasing drastically.
facebook is used by employers, businesses and many other well respected companies this shows that teenagers are not the only people whom are addictede to facebook.
facebook should be a device for people to catch up with old friends and family which they don't see often however it isbeing used as a place to meeet new people.

Homework questions regarding class work on Tuesday 29th June 2010
Did we work within a recognisable genre or format? In the lesson me and yancia decided to do a spoof on social networking sites and in particular facebook stalkers and peadophiles. I think we did make the correct decision because 80% of teenagers in the UK do have facebook therefore it is a on going topic.
Did we address and issue related to the representation of teenagers? The representation of teenagers we chose was facebook users and the issues surrounding this particular topic. This idea was relevant due to facebook being a growing social networking site.
Did we use research to inform our work? If so, what was it? (Make sure that this is written up and any links made in your evaluative post.) Personally I think think that my and yancia should have planned the running order of our news spoof because we often did not know what to shoot.
What would we do to improve our work both technically and in terms of content? We could have planned the whole sequence of our news spoof, and also if we had had more time then we would have finished the mini LP.
