Daily Mail :  http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html When going on their website there are loads of images and small clips that you can look at, there are also adverts on the sides and top, the pictures are used to attract the audience then you can read the small summary and click the link to find out more. Down the middle there are big pictures with writing at the bottom of them, and down the right hand side there are small pictures. Compared to their newspaper their website is much more chaotic with the amount of pictures and links you can click on. Compared to the printed version their website also has lots of adverts with moving pictures and videos constantly popping up and playing on the sides of the page.

Camera : In this clip there are many different camera movements used for example a Steadicam is used the shows the kids sitting around the table but also to show their surroundings and to set the scene, from the use of the Steadicam it gives it a smooth shot of the room to show that they are down stairs in the basement with low lighting and board game in the middle, this creates a scary setting especially with the game they are playing, due to the close ups of the kids we can see how they take this game very seriously like its more than a game, we find out that Mike has been planning this game for over 2 weeks and they have been playing for over 10 hours.
