Advertising Print Campaign = 5 Research Channels 1). TV Advert = Costa Advert The target audience for this advert is identified to be for people who love coffee. The basic narrative for this advert is that 'Costa' makes coffee that is made to be loved by the person who is drinking it. One prominent colour in this advert is the colour of red, which has connotations of love, to show that the company puts love into every cup of coffee they make. Secondly, The advert takes place in an almost theatre-like setting, which would convey why there is a musical element to this advert. Finally, a key prop in this advert is coffee beans, which have a resemblance with Costa but they convey the love for the coffee, which may convince the audience to come to Costa and try the coffee. The advert features a group singing a song called "I was made for loving you". This will have a positive impact on the audience's opinion of the advert because it will encourag...

Opening Titles Evaluation My Opening Title Sequence! I was given the task of creating my own film title sequence. I began this project by researching the title sequences of a variety of different films such as Se7en and Skyfall . The similar thing about both of these title sequences is that they include interesting images, which will help intrigue the audience to watch on and this is a key necessity for a movie title sequence. Secondly, they all name all the top people in the film in order to attract an audience, for example, the Skyfall opening titles include Daniel Craig's name to attract his fans. First of all, I decided on a plot which involved a character being killed and the killer going on the run, in a cliff hanger. I decided to use a cliff hanger in my opening title sequence because it will help keep the audience watching the film. After filming my project, I begun the editing process using Adobe Premiere Pro. First of all, I arra...

Opening Titles Research Opening titles are usually shown at the beginning of a motion picture, whether that is a TV programme or a film. Key conventions of an opening title sequence include:- The name of the studios or production company that make the film The title of the film The names of key actors and key crew members Music and sound effects. In preparation for my project, I researched a few opening title sequences from films such as 'Se7en', 'Skyfall' and 'Spectre'. These sequences are referred to as title sequences and they are relatively common in James Bond films because they are built in a separate sequence to the film itself and they usually take place over a lengthy period of time in the film. 1). Se7en These screen shots show the advantages of different conventions of an opening title sequence such as the names of the production company and A-List actors. The advantages of naming these things would be that ...

Poster Analysis Research To create my poster, I researched other images and posters that advertised Doctor Who Series 11. Some of these images included objects and characters such as The TARDIS, The Doctor and the companions. In addition, I used one of my own images of the top of a cliff which would act as the setting of my poster. In consolidation, this would appeal to my target audience of science fiction fans or more particularly Doctor Who fans, as I have used images associated with the show such as a police box, which will give fans a sense of familiarity. Creating my poster After getting inspiration from these images, I designed my poster on paper using text and drawing pictures. Afterwards, using Photoshop, I structured my poster (left) by cutting out certain objects and characters from the pictures I researched and placing them on to the background. After placing the images in position, I added typical conventions of a movie po...

About My Press Release! My Press Release! After receiving this assignment, I conducted some research into what a press release is and I looked at examples of different press releases. A press release is a statement given to the press about a breaking news story or about a person. These are two examples of press releases, which are seen to be very concise and bold and use bold colours and logos, which help attract the audience's attention. In creating my press release, I began with a strong quote, "This Is Me". This would help attract my audience and also, it helped me sum up the whole topic of my press release as I'm describing who I am and my character. I made the title a bold colour of blue. Blue has connotations of piece and harmony and being bold can give connotations of happiness so it can heavily emphasize my character. As I am presenting this press release to a group of young people, the language and the way I speak to the...

JACK PALMER !! "THIS IS ME!" I am faithful to my friends and family but I won't suffer fools. I am very open. I can be quite blunt so I'll tell you how it is and how I feel whether you like it or not but I have a big heart and I am a good friend to have. I am 16 years old. I am currently a full-time student studying for a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Creative Media, which allows me to pursue one of my main interests which is film-making, films and TV. This interest has been long-running for me because I studied Media as one of my GCSEs and it was the GCSE I succeeded in the most. I prefer to demonstrate my learning practically in a group rather than theoretically on my own. I believe that this helps me to build relationships with new people and also, it allows me to demonstrate my creative side so for example, in Media, I am able to demonstrate what I've learnt by producing a film. In the future, I desire to pursue this interest as part of my fu...
