Adidas Hairy Leg Advert Arvida Bystrom ,  has hairy legs going against the hegemonic believe of women, that we should have no leg hair or any hair on our body. It doesn't make her a feminist as it is natural to have leg hair. the men threatening to rape her may be an attempt to reinvent patriarchy. Or that they do not want women to get their way into mens dominance, so they want to take their power back through sexual acts. Hegemony is only important until it is broken, and thats when it is noticed. Key Theory 17- Stuart Hall- Reception theory Potential reactions to the Wateraid- Claudia advert...

Audience Manipulation Without an audience there is no point in a media product, you can't have media without an audience. There is always a target audience. There is a primary target audience and a secondary target audience. Its the audience who decide on the success of a product. There are different demographics and physiographic of audiences. Key Theory 15- Albert Bandura- Media Effect What happens if you what too much TV, Youtube, or play too many video games? You believe biased ideologies that are presented in the media product. That if you watch too much of something you will become and act like the characters in those games. If you play too many violent video games you are more likely to become much more violent. The theory is the effects model, AKA the hypodermic needle model. Its when the producer is brain washing the audience with their ideology and the audience can do nothing about it. Mass media is media that can be spread to mass aud...

Introduction to Audience The difference between component one section A and component one section B is that section A is about analysing media language and representation, yet section B is analysing the media industry and audience. Without an audience to spend money on it the media product doesn't exist. Audience reaction constructs media products.

                                   Learning Conversation What do you think has gone particularly well so far this year? What are your strengths? I enjoy deeply analysing printed adverts, and figuring out what audience they may be aimed at, and how the advertisers are getting people to buy the products. I enjoy knowing the meaning behind what is shown in front of our faces everyday of our life's. What is stopping you from achieving your goals? What threats might you face, (for example not enough time, lack of organisation, pressure from other subjects...) I am a person who needs structure to a question and answering questions, I find starting a sentence very difficult and mostly end up starting them with 'the' or 'it'. Also waking up so early in the mornings so I can get ready and walk to the station in time makes me extremely tired, as I get home from work at around 9pm and then I h...

                          Comparing Advertisement Genres Charity Advertising: Repertoire of Elements- The advert makes the audience member feel guilty and as though they are responsible for the victims misfortune. For example this 'People in Need' advert would make those who shop feel guilty for buying items they want, as the money they spend on a bag could feed many families. Charity adverts are usually always full of dull, grey like colours, which is a symbolic code for the emotionless life that these victims live. Modes of address- Charity adverts use direct address a lot, so the audience member gains a personal connection to the victims and their cause. The direct address makes the viewer feel personally responsible for what happens to the victims. The adverts use emotive language, such as saying that children are 'starving' or that someone is 'miserable'. Ideology- The ideology ...

Anchor Spreadable Butter Advert The groups represented in this advert are the elderly and the young, all within the group of family. The boy monkey is a teenager and the little girl monkey is a pre-teen. The boy monkey looks as though he is a stereotypical teenager as he is wearing a hoodie, which looks like a stereotypical 'dangerous' teenager. The women monkey is old has it seems as though she has stereotypical dementia of an elderly person, and a joke is also made about it. The elderly monkey has a Caribbean accent, portraying different ethnic groups. A stereotype of Jamaican people is that they like food and cooking. Her voice is very soft and makes the advert feel very soft and laid back.  The young boy is inferred to be very sarcastic, the Lexis of him is tat he is informal. The shot of the siblings is a medium shot, so we can evaluate their body language. They are a representation of a close family, the nan lives with them. The mise-en-scene of the scene shows...

Set Production Two- Wateraid-Claudia Sings Sunshine On A Rainy Day (2016) The first shot of this advert, is a close up of an radio, inferably in Britain as it is raining. This shot gives the advert a sense of relatable-ness, and how we only hear of al the miserable news on the radio, which is a complete binary opposition of Claudia singing in the sun.  The fact that Claudia seems to be happy where she's struggling shows just how much Wateraid has helped her, and focuses on the positive rather the the negative. As most people are immune to the guilt trip of the usual charity adverts. The bright and colourful cloths that are seen being worn in the advert, are a symbolic code of the happiness that is brought to them from Wateraid and all the people who donate. Making the audience want to make others who are struggling, as happy as Claudia is. There is no backing track used, just Claudia singing, which gives the advert a very simplistic and realistic feeling of joy, as if ...
