Analysing print adverts



Analysing Print Advert

  • Bright lighting and its colourful with all the flowers
  • the layout and design of this print advert is a portrait of a female model who is carrying a bag 
  • The Model is filling the frame looking directly into the audience's eyes showing direct adress. She is also the centre of focus with some of the flowers behind out of focus.
  • The model is clenching the bag implying empowerment which might attract other females to want to buy this 
  • The flowers behind and the outfit the model is wearing suggest this is in more of an informal advert as the model is wearing a normal shirt, headband and sunglasses. Even though this is more informal relaxed setting its still a designer brand so would attract the more wealthy young audience.
  • The brand name is small in the bottom corner of the advert, so that at least half the image is taken up with the products/accessories they are selling.
  • is between a middle and close angle shot to get as much as they can in the advert stand out.

Richard Dyer Theory of stereotypes

A Stereotype is a commonly held belief or assumption about a certain group of people.

Videogames 8 - Assassin's Creed and reception theory

Reception Theory - Stuart Hall Otherwise known as the encoding and decoding model The ideological perspective of the producer is encoded in every media product, through media language. Every media product therefore demonstrates a mediated perspective - Bias According to Stuart Hall audience's don't just stop at encoding a media product, it goes a lot further because audiences can decode the media messages. -Preferred Reading/Dominant reading The audience agrees with the dominant ideological perspectives encoded by the producer - Oppositional reading The audience disagrees with the ideological pperpectives encoded by the producer - Negotiated reading The audience agrees with certain ideological aspects of the media product, while dismissing and disagreeing with others. This is by far the most common reading. Assassin's Creed  One of the biggest dominant ideological perspectives of Assassins creed is that violence can be justified if it is used to further a

Magazine - Next article analysis - 350ppm

Image
Adbusters uses a lot of culture jamming by sub-verting or sabotaging mass media messages. 350ppm is talking about the amount of polution in the atmosphere. 350 is the safe level but scientists say we must reduce the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere from its current level of 400 parts per million to below 350ppm. There is no anchorage to the image on the left hand side, no headline or subheading to tell you what they mean. This is similar to a lot of pages in the Adbusters magazine. This double page spread shows a binary opposition between the model on the left who is all glamorous and the beggar on the right siting on the ground who is homeless.
