three muisc video analysis and comparison 

1 The first video we have is for the song picture me by Dave. The music video illustrates Dave's perspectives on which paths his life could have gone on, the video has some aspects of the usual UK rap video with the rapper reciting lyrics into the camera at some stages however the music video also contains a story-line which contrasts the other two music videos.

the video does not feature any females as it is a popular opinion that if you centre your time on women

2 The second  music video we have is by Loski for the song money and beef. the video does not contain a story line however in the intro there is a woman putting on red lipstick which is usually associated with love and sex, she then writes "money and beef" on the mirror which is synonymous with a Marilyn Monroe statement, writing in lipstick also has also been parodied in other forms of media and music videos including the music video for storm queen. 
The video is filmed in sepia which is unlike the rest of the videos, however red is highlighted throughout the whole video.



3 The third video we have is for the song pasta by Aj Tracey, the video centres around a Aj Tracey and Dave's group staying at a villa supposedly abroad due to the weather and having a pool party with a load of  half naked females

the music video heavily sexualises women throughout its duration as they connote the common policy money brings girls

Representaition of regional and national identity

Representation of regional and national identity 

The oxford dictionary's definition for the word identity "is the fact of being who or what a person or thing is", this means someone's identity is how they're identified so regional and national identities are how people from different regions and nations are identified. regional and national identities are highly stereo typical and more often than not are wrong.

regional identity

regions are smaller segments of nations which means people who live in the same nation will share  national identities but have different regional identities, an example of how regional identities in the UK are portrayed through TV are in the show raised by wolves, it follows the life of a single wolverhampton mum raising a poor family on benefits and the humour of their struggles, it showcases several stereotypes from their region including people being broke and scrimping


common representations for regional identity are :

london- rich, posh, snobs or poor, common, criminals

manchester- chavs, fake designer, tracksuits, aggressive

essex- cheap, glamouros, footballers wives, lots of partying, being quite stupid

yorkshire- rural countryside, rolling hills, cobbled streets

conrwall- "backwards" living in rural areas, working on farms

national identity



scottish- mean with their money, outdoors, aggressive, wear kilts, eat haggis, heavy alcoholics

welsh - sheep shaggers country dwellers

irrish- farmers, being verry religious, friendly, dancers and singers

english - racist, obsessed with beer, love football, posh, happy, nieve

More allegations of sexaul advances on underage boys have been coming out of the woodwork with unamed sources claiming they woke up in spaceys arms with spaceys head on thier chest

6 stabbed 2 dead in camden

according to the bbc there has been six stabbings in camden in one night leaving 2 people dead, the oldest victim was 20 year old Sadiq Adan Mohamed who was hacked to death by what witnessess described as a samuria sword, there has been a rise in the ammount violent crimes in the city capital since 2015 and especailly the amount of knife crime. in 2015 there was reportedly around 25,000 incidents of knife crime wheras in 2017 that figure increased by over 10,000 at around 37,000. 

there have been several calls for police to bring stop and search back in order for police to be able to lower the amount of people carrying knifes, this would also pose as a deterant for people to carry knifes and other offencive weapons however the root of the problem does not lie in the fact that teenagers and men are carrying knifes, its the fact that teenagers feel the need to arm themselves with these weapons. 

accoriding to london.gov.uk since 2010-2011 over 22 million has been cut from council youth services and " 
Half the councils who were able to tell me about future budgets were planning to make more cuts in 2017/18" which show that though the government is trying to combat knife crimeby giving youths prison sentences, which is all well and good but if the youths had more things to do in thier local area it would atleast give them a shelter from the gang violence and place to spend thier time and make friends creating a positive community, i myslef went to a youth club when i was young and i made a lot of friends through the sports and activities we played 

the mother of the victim begged any one who was in possession of a knife to stop and think, this is her second son to have died from knife crime,

School girl able to buy bleach in newham

Bbc's 5 live took part in a sting which was lead by Newham county council, in which a 14 year old girl attempted to buy bleach from stores all around London after they had made an agreement to not sell to children after the rise in the amount of acid attacks, however BBC investigates were present when the school girl was able to purchase bleach in a store in Newham in what has been dubbed London's acid attack capital.

In Newham there have been 182 retailers who have signed up to a voluntary scheme to stop sales of acid's to anyone under the age of 21 however with the results of the sting has caused alarm and promoted the government to bring the plans forward to create a legislation prevent stores from selling corrosive acid's to anyone under the age of 21.

After the home office viewed the evidence they themselves stated that " that it was considering responses to its consultation on a proposal to ban sales of corrosive products to under-18s, and creating a new possession offence" this could lead to lowering the amount of acid attacks which London has been facing in recent years however I don't think the problem here resides in taking away the use of a weapon but the problem is with the youth of today.

The acid attack problem is verry similar to the gun problem America is facing, this is due to the fact that guns don't kill people, people use guns to kill people, bleach should be being used in a toilet not on someone's face or I'n their eyes, I remember when I was younger and my mum would send me shopping and put bleach on the shopping list as it is a normal household item, banning children from purchasing acid does not stop them having access to it.

It's the same way that we have 15 year olds getting drunk, stopping access to the one weapon won't stop the violence because If the people want a weapon they find one, they could start using lighters with deodorant cans or even animals next, the only way the government can stop the violence is through dealing with the root of the problem
