To what extent does digital distribution effect the marketing and consumption of media products in the media area you have studied
Digital distribution effects the marketing and consumption of media products by blurring the production, distribution and exhibition of music in the music industry. It therefore devalues the music as it can be produced and exhibited by people, called prosumers.
The ability to be able to get your own music out there to consumers so easily, through websites such as YouTube and soundcloud has made it accessible to a wider range of people. Things such as xfactor could also be clased as digital distribution as the songs being performed by the acts on the show are songs that syco own the rights to. This means that they advertise the song and will benefit from any sales. This has effected music products because it can take away from the original meaning of the song, devaluing it.

Age stereotype
Cultural norm- what society expects
Youth- rebellion
Adults- moral power
Adults hate youth- they're jealous of freedom and no responsibility, their time of freedom has passed. Too scared to live the life they wanted society wasn't as accepting. Care free no stress they have a lot of responsibility, mid life crisis, walking out on families - second age of youth
Why are adults in love with youth- energetic, less informed so makes then feel smarter from more life experiences. Want to be younger and more beautiful
Tv drama made by adults so reflects their views
Positives of youth

Sexuality
The Mise en Scene shows that they are both feminine and gentle. This is because The costumes are silken and one women has a shorter dress. This would portray the stereotype of the relationship between the two women as sympathetic but it may also show the relationship as sexualised when one woman hovers her hand over the other.
The prop shows red paint. this could show portray lust or love because red is associated with these themes.

Camera angles
Composition shows power
Shots of her breasts shows she's the main focus of the shot

Location Recee
I edited the picture so that you can see the background more. This is important for a Thriller because it shows what sort of place the characters are in. It shows they are quite secluded as there are trees and only one house in the distance.
