cancer research


Smoking, bodyweight, diet and physical activity

Many cancer cases in the UK are linked to lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, diet, or being overweight. In the western world, many of us eat too much red and processed meat and not enough fresh fruit and vegetables. This type of diet is known to increase the risk of cancer. Drinking alcohol can also increase the risk of developing some types of cancer. There is more information about this on the page about diet causing cancer.
Sometimes foods or food additives are blamed for directly causing cancer and described as carcinogenic. This is often not really true. Sometimes a food is found to contain a substance that can cause cancer but in such small amounts that we could never eat enough of it to do any harm. And some additives may actually protect us. There is more about food additives in the page about diet causing cancer.

Brief - Music Video


Brief

A brief is when you give instructions to someone or inform them, saying what they have to do for the task that has been set. A brief can either be written down or given verbally to whomever it is that needs the information.

It also gives the deadlines that are set so that they know when the work has to be handed in.  A brief is important because it is the only way that you can inform someone of what it is that you want from them and when.

With a music video a brief could be the times that you need the band or artist for filming and what the storyline is going to be so that they know what is going on in their music video, as after all it is a video that is being produced for them.

The brief does have to follow some laws so that they don’t exploit the band or the artist that has put trust in you. In the brief you would comment on anything inappropriate, in example if a racial comment or remark is in the video or even implied and the band didn’t know anything about it and it is offensive to them then they could sue the maker.

 Also anything incriminating in the video could give the band a bad reputation that they might not have wanted. One opportunity that a brief could present is any of the idea the band have that they can bring forward so that they can have a say in what is in the video. It also helps in organising everyone so that cast and crew know what it is that they are doing and when.

We need to have all this information as it can prove to whoever is looking at the work that we did look for the information and also if we needed to look again to change anything then having all the links to help us find all the information we used again. When we were having to find out all about the band and there history we needed to be able to access the information easy so that we could talk about them, without this information there would probably no history to the band in our presentation
It dose also back up any sort of references that we make so that we cannot be accused of making up any information. The only problem with finding the information is that it can be hard to find some information as there isn't always something on the Internet, but overall i am glad that it is so easy to find out the information that i need with very little difficulty and that i am able to show where it is i got the information.

We will show the singer finding out about her partner cheeting, but we will also have to show times before she found out showing how happy they seamed together and we will have to imply that he is sneaking off to sleep with another woman. We will have to show this without it beeing seen as pornoghraphic.

On a more negative note, Mikael Wood of Spin magazine wrote that, in songs like "Wish You Were Here" and "Everybody Hurts", the "former brat-punk princess in dreary woe-is-me mode" can be found. According to 


Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine, this song, along with others from Goodbye Lullaby, "mistake having a potty mouth for having an actual personality", stating it "fails to pass off 'Damn, damn, damn / What I'd do to have you here, here, here' as a hook".

You can see that all the women are trying to fight him off at the end as if to show Perri's feelings towards the man as she no longer wants him in her life and then it as if she has won and is free from the man and so is her heart as he had control over her.

Promotional Tool
