Abomination Union
ABOMINATION UNION
April 13th, 2012, an nuclear explosion happened right inside Big Ben, planted by the German mafia as a form of terrorism wiping out the whole of the UK, causing destruction and chaos in the country. Those who were affected in the London area immediately transformed disgustingly into villainous zombies with the ability to run and to jump extremely high walls.
Three years after the explosion, there seemed to be no survivors left with millions of zombies left in the world. We follow the story of the main character, Jessica Lyon, who before the explosion, was a promotor at a not so famous business that was heading into bankruptcy. She has tried to stay alive for three years hiding away from zombies and trying to fight back but failing miserably. She then comes across a man called Peter Curran, who before the explosion, was a famous UK composer. Together, they built a relationship that ended in falling in love with each other. What she didn't know was that he was hiding a secret, he was part of an organisation called the Abomination Union targeted to release the zombies into Europe. The main leader and founder of this organisation, Bianca Fry, attempts to try and make Jessica come into the organisation and help release the zombies into Europe. Jessica immediately thinks the opposite and says that there is other things we can do to help kill the zombies without causing more. This causes conflict and Jessica is then suddenly on the run from the Abomination Union and is considered a threat to the organisation and her, along with the flesh eating, fast zombies are wanted...

Magazines Bullet Points
Entertainment Weekly
It is an American magazine, published by Time Inc., which is one of the most notable magazine publishing companies in the world, who publish over 90 magazines, including Golf Magazine and Food & Wine
Covers film, television, music, Broadway theatre, books and popular culture, but mainly concentrates on entertainment media news, hence the name.
The magazine tends to target for a more general audience, so not just men or women but I would say this magazine is aimed for more adults/teenagers than children aged between 8-14
As it said in the title, this is a weekly magazine
Its total circulation (readership) on how many people have read it since 1990 has been 1.8 million (figure from 2013)
Created by Jeff Jarvis and Founded by Michael Klingensmith and David Morris
The first issue was issued in February 16th, 1990, based in New York City, New York
The magazine, in the early stages, used to feature brand new video game reviews and video console reviews
By 2003, the magazine's weekly circulation averaged 1.7 million copies per week
The average cost for this magazine was $3.52 which, converted into pounds, is £2.38

Joint Hands Technical Conventions, Form, Style and Codes
Technical Conventions: The colour and lighting behind this advert would be black and white to set the mood as being dark and gloomy, following one homeless man and his journey. Load of close-ups of the homeless man, full head shots as well. Landscape establishing shot to set the setting as modern day life. This advert would have an overt message to make it stand out and appeal to the audience. An overt message is told directly to the audience, in this case the overt message for this charity is "Give your hand to the homeless", which is told at the end of the advert. This advert is also supposed to have a emotional response making them upset of what they are seeing knowing that they could do something about it. Finally, this advert is supposed to have a lifestyle appeal meaning the advert persuades the audience to follow this charity and to help the homeless by giving your hand to them.
Form: This would be a documentary advert which relies on a lot of factual information, the audience want to be informed on what is happening in the advert. As this is a charity, an documentary advert would be ideal.
Style: This advert would have a very dramatic style and tone to this advert because it would be realistic because it is set in modern day, and it follows one homeless man's journey and story, his benefits and problems.
Codes: The mise-en-scene for this particular advert would be the main character's clothes, (homeless man) being ragged and dirty to explain that he is the homeless man. The gentleman who sits with the homeless man would be wearing very sophisticated clothes, such as a shirt and tie r even maybe wearing normal clothes like a shirt and jeans to show that he is a lot richer than he is. The mise-en-scene for setting would be set in modern day life, set in Coulsdon or Town Centres. The use of camera shots would mainly focus on the homeless man, so I could use a full head shot and a full body shot of the homeless man and what situation he is in. I could use a long establishing shot of the whole setting and the homeless man being ignored by members of the general public until the gentleman comes along and sits beside him. I could use some sad and upsetting music to create an impression to the audience that this is a very upsetting matter the charity is trying to deliver.
