Britain's national newspapers are hardly known for their political reticence. Historically, most of them have been unashamedly partisan, spinning every story in order either to promote the party they favour or to denigrate the opposition. They did not need to wait until just before an election to tell their readers how they should vote: their daily political agenda was patently obvious. There has been something of a change over the last 20 years – dating from the fall of Margaret Thatcher – because almost all papers have tended to proclaim their independence from political parties. Most newspapers in the UK are for-Conservative. This is because the owners of the newspapers are themselves supporters of the Tories. Most of the newspapers in the UK are actually Conservative, whilst there only being a few for Labour.

Conservatives Who are they? The Conservative Party was founded in the nineteenth century, with the promise to back necessary public reform. The party supports rolling back the state and expanding the free market to create a spirit of competition and entrepreneurship. The Conservatives are the largest party in Parliament with over 300 MPs. After the 2017 General Election the Conservatives formed a minority government and signed a “ confidence and supply ” agreement with the Democratic Unionist Party. This means that the DUP will back the Conservatives on votes in the House of Commons. What are they doing? The Conservatives are currently led by Boris Johnson who took over when Theresa May stood-down as Prime Minister in July following the insuccess of completing Brexit. As the governing party, the Conservatives can introduce bills which are a way of turning their policies into laws. You can read all about these bills in our  Laws  section, which is a good way of see...

https://browndarryl777.wixsite.com/mysite  - website Evalutation: I think I have done a good job with my work. I have kept the same font throughout, the same colours, and added in features which others in my class had forgotte (like the barcode or the website and the bottom of tour poster). I feel that I could improve on time management; the website I could've put more time into, as it was a little bit rushed. Overall, I am very happy with my work as I met most of the requirements of the brief.

On Wednesday 18th September we had our first filming shoot at the Courtroom Experience in Shire Hall in Bodmin. We had the objective of documenting a court session which consists of wax figures. This was a great experience as it enabled me to get a sight into filmmaking.               Starting off, I had to film a worker narrating about the court session and backstory. This was a couple of minutes long and the opening of the documentary. Thinking about the editing, we got some shots of the building itself to overlay the narrator speaking.               I was also assigned to get close up shots of the judge and witness with my partner Elijah. We used the pan technique to get both figures in the shots. Doing this, we had to operate the camera carefully as we had to turn down the brightness when the courtroom lights were on the judge; also refocus post-pan without there being too much irritation.    ...
