ride along part 4

How are characters/stars in the film represented in:

Print media

I believe within all three different forms of media the main characters are presented the same and that they do not really contrast in each of the different media platforms. In print media you would expect this type of media to be promoted to people who are willing to read print for e.g. on the way to work on the train, so the working class and you would expect the text to be 'mature' and not in slang. But not in the magazine article in which I read the interview which included Kevin Hart and Ice Cube. They still used slang and even swear words and spoke in the way they would speak in their everyday life. So the two characters are presented in how they live their normal life in Kevin Hart being the funny man and Ice Cube also being funny but also the tough guy. 

Broadcast media

Yet again in broadcast media the main characters are presented in ways in which you would expect them to be promoted. However I believe there is one minor difference in that the main characters behaved differently on shows in America to shows in the UK. By this I mean in America they were more themselves such as Kevin Hart was more out there and 'crazy' on the Ellen Show whereas on this morning he was still the funny Kevin Hart but he was more laid back this could be due to the shows being very different and targeting different audiences but also because he is more known in America than in England and didn't want to make himself look like a fool and also the main reason he came here to the UK was to promote his film more than himself. That was the only difference I saw in them other than that they presented themselves in how they always present themselves in trying to entertain as well as inform people of their new movie.

E - Media

Within E media Kevin Hart one of the main characters uses social networking more than Ice Cube. However Ice Cube when the movie was close to it release date started to use his social networking sites more often than not and he will always have his fans and this shows how important e media is beginning to come as a film star may just use it to promote his film as there is a large number of potential audiences. However on the other hand Kevin Hart is very much so popular on Instagram and post things on social networking sites on a regular basis. Social networking has helped him I believe to progress in his career, I for one didn't really watch his comedy shows before but once I started following him on social networking I have now become a fan. So you can even gain fans on social networking even if they aren't that aware of you, so you are sort of raising awareness of yourself.

I believe the main characters are presented in this way to show that they are not fake people you could say. In a way that they are only funny and entertaining on camera but no they are also like this in real life and that they are real people and do not change on camera. They showed this as they went to burger shops in America and made food for fans and stuff like that. The audience are represented as being appreciated by the main characters this is mainly done through Twitter where the stars can retweet the fans and this would make the tweeters happy about themselves and that they are being noticed by their stars. This is a way in which they get to represent themselves and give out their own ideas, they could do this by even directly tweeting the actual ride along account and giving their feedback on their.
