Sport Car

I think that this print and moving image advert is targeted at men but the moving image is target at young boy for want to own a Porsche sport car in the future, also is targeted for wealthy people because a sport car is very expensive. the reson why sport cars are target at men beacuse most men drive sport cars, but some women drive a lot of sport cars.

Firstly you could change the male characters in both adverts and put a female character in both of them, and adding a different background which is more appealing toward women, also the changing the colours, setting and etc.   

Diving watch

I think these advert are both target toward men who like wearing expensive watches, both these advert feature men, this lead to the case that a lot of men wear watches. However many women wear watches in an everyday life.

One way how to change the primary audience toward women is having a woman instead of a man and adding women’s features like changing the colours and the changing the trailer to a film which is target at women like sex in the city or means girls.

Beer

I think that this advert is all targets at men who like drinking beer, socially. The reason why bottle beer target men because it an illegal for a young peon to buy beer and drink it in a pub or night club, plus you wouldn’t see a women holding and drinking a bottle beer. Moreover drinking beer has always been a man thing, and women like drinking tea and wine, it make them look more sophisticated.  You change the main target audience toward women by adverting a different idea i.e. wine or tea.      

 toilet paper

I think that these adverts are target at women, mostly parents/mums because mums do the weekly shopping and buy all the products, and mother buys the toilet paper for everyone in the family. The moving image shows a mother beer telling the baby bear to wipe his bottom clearly use the products.  

I think if they used something different like a soft football this can introduce a new audience like men and then many men will buy the products.  

I     Deodorant

I feel that these both advert all target men as deodorant is mostly for men because they want to smell good to attract more women. Well deodorant is both for men and women so it targets both genders.     

   

     Cigarettes

I i feel that these advert both target men but it introduce children to start smoking cigarettes because this is a children television show and their main audience are children.  The ad feature two men smoking and the women are just watching them but at the time this show is aimed at children. A lot of women smoke cigarettes, so this can target both genders

Cleaning Products

I think that these adverts are target at women, mostly parents/mums because mums do the weekly shopping and buy all the products, and mother buys the cleaning products for everyone in the family. I think if they used something different like a soft football this can introduce a new audience like men and then many men will buy the products. 

I think that these adverts are targeted at men, and who like wearing trainers and playing sport games, the advert features a British artist who is promoting his song and trainers. Well one reason how the advert can appeals toward women if the colours of the poster was appealing to girls and the music artist was a girls who lyrics can appeals toward girls like Adele and etc. #

Airline

This commercial is aimed at men and women because they both can flight a airline, and show how everyone is equal. The ad is aimed at both genders.  The reason why this ad is aimed at men and women because both genders are equal and can do anything they wish to do.   

Dominant and alternative representation on women

Skyfall

Skyfall  Samuel Felix

The action film I have chosen to write about its narrative theorise is the new James bond film ‘skayfall; mostly all the James bond have all been action film, so this James bond film has to be action but it has elements of romance and adventures and crime. The movie features Daniel Craig who plays James Bond, Dame Judi Dench who plays M and Javier Bardem who plays Silva. All of these actor, have been well recognize for playing these type of character in all their film they have all been in. the main story is James bond is losing his touch as a double oo agents and get shots, everyone think his dead, as this is happen someone is planning to kill M in the HQ’s and is using cyber threat toward her and her business.

Leading up to todorov theory the mains characters are Jamie Bond as the Hero want to protect M, M as the donor also who could say that she is princess because the villain want to her and the hero has to keep her and protect her too, Silva as the villain want to kill M and eve as the helper who just helps James bond out, what he need, she get it. Leading up to Barthes Theory has enigma codes and action codes in the film sky fall. By having enigma code it create a mood and suspense for the audience. Skyfall has to have action code because it action film and it a James bond films, the film contains props like guns, cars weapons and fighting these are all the elements for a good action movie.

Well, the first narrative pattern is that the film is linear; this means that it has a chronological sequence, so skayfall film was a beginning, middle and an end. Follow up on Propp theories the film has three stages, the equilibrium (the Fist stage, beginning ) is when James bond will helping M to tract down a villain on a train by having this fist stage is show the characters, setting and the type of genre the film is, disequilibrium (seconds Stage, Middle) is when James formally introduced to the villain and tell the plot and conflict he has with M and James Bond, also it create a mood and atmosphere for the audience watching this film and lastly the New equilibrium (last stage, End) is when the James bond  murder  the villain and M sadly dies from a gun shot worn in the stomach. Therefore the conflict is resolved and done.

Lastly the last narrative theory is Mr Hall and his readings, the three readings are Dominant, negotiated and opposition Reading. I feel that the reading of Skyfall is a dominant reading because it has a mainstream audience mostly men, because are more attracted to action film.

WWW. You do pick out some relevant details in places

EBI. This is a long way short of A level standard in general: basic written English is it good enough.

You need a lot more depth and detail to your analysis in both Q1+Q2.

L/R Re read your work + chooses one paragraph to re write properly

Paul Greengrass has used the camera movement to create an atmosphere of realism. The director has done this because it connotes a lot of tension and make uneasy mood from the character shown in the film. Some of the scenes from the film are not steady and moving, by showing this, it represent the audience that something wrong in the film

Breaking Point

WWW. I think that breaking Point had great editing and voice over throughout the trailer; also the trailer was very interesting to me and the audience. Moreover it had great shot during the trailer; one that I very liked is an over the shoulder shot of a man running toward a warehouse and a close up of the male head twisting and turn around to see if anyone is around him.aslo by doing this it create a evil and scary tension and mood.

EBI. If we can see the character a bit more clearly from the editing, it wasn't clear enough for the audience and also if some of the shots was shot better and be clearer, I think the audience will be more scared.

Breaking point overall included a vast amount of editing in which involved many types of high to low angle shots. The lowered angled shots allowed the villain or protagonist to be seen as a person with power in which changed the audience’s perspective of what people or the views see of him. As such, this creates suspense in terms of what the audiences views and opinions are which therefore leads to different opinions being made about the film trailer of breaking point.

Romeo  

WWW. I thought that Romeo was one of the best productions I seen at GHS media award, I thought that it had great shots in the film trailer. One is where the camera focus pulls and the audience can see the character behind to the protagonist male character. Also Romeo has another great shot, this is when two character are holding hand, which create a mood and setting in the film trailer.

EBI. If the storyline of Romeo was shown better toward the audience, it was shown clearer and well basic and understanding to the audience .Also if they were more shots to create a romance and love setting.   

Romeo is has many slow editing  shots which can highlight the genre of the film trailer, all of these can feature the camera movement and angles shown in the trailer. The camera movement and angle show all the character in film trailer, the hero, the helper and the donor all have been shown in way where we can identify who each person is. The main character had more close up shots, the helper and the donor only had medium shot, this show how important the shots are and I feel this is one of the best I’ve seen in a long time.

Think about the certificate of Fish Tank (15 certificates). Research film certification and outline what is deemed acceptable for this certificate. What is the difference between a 15 certificate and an 18 certificate?

15- Language

There may be frequent use of strong language (for example, ‘fuck’). The strongest terms (for example, ‘cunt’) may be acceptable if justified by the context. Aggressive or repeated use of the strongest language is unlikely to be acceptable.

Nudity

Nudity may be allowed in a sexual context but without strong detail. There are no constraints on nudity in a non-sexual or educational context.

Sex

Sexual activity may be portrayed without strong detail. There may be strong verbal references to sexual behaviour, but the strongest references are unlikely to be acceptable unless justified by context. Works whose primary purpose is sexual arousal or stimulation are unlikely to be acceptable.

18

 Where material or treatment appears to the BBFC to risk harm to individuals or, through their behaviour, to society – for example, any detailed portrayal of violent or dangerous acts, or of illegal drug use, which may cause harm to public health or morals. This may include portrayals of sexual or sexualised violence which might, for example, eroticise or endorse sexual assault

Where there are more explicit images of sexual activity which cannot be justified by context. Such images may be appropriate in ‘R18’ works, and in ‘sex works’ (see below) would normally be confined to that category.
