mise-en-scene of woman hugging box on detergent appeals to generalised audience of women

mise-en-scene of establising close-up shot of window with diegetic soundtrack to appeal to a british target audience due to the rain showing a stereotypical representation of british weather

red text for 'tide's got what women want' appeals to the generalised audience of housewives due to the connotations of love that the colour red has.

the mise-en-scene of dry establishing shot of Africa is a binary opposition to the establishing shot of what can be assumed to be great britain.

British radio broadcaster is used to add an element of being relatable to the media product. By doing so it targets a generalised audience of british people.

The use of english text at the end of the wateraid advert.

use of lexis in tide advert is hyperbolic.

In the water aid advert, audience are anchored with the slow paced editing to sympathise with gentle Claudia.

Allows the audience the please of 'saving' the poor, fragile and vulnerable Claudia. Claudia is African.

Week 3 Online media - 4th March

Pokemon Glaswegian Advert:  🌚 🌝  🌚 Clay Shirky - End of Audience - the audience uses the product to make new media Henry Jenkins - Fandom - uses audience to create a cult following Propaganda doesn't work in the way we think it works.

Adbusters

Deliberately challenged the image. Its childish defacing. This defacing plays on the ideology that nothing is too high up to take down. Banksy Drawing of Policeman snorting cocaine. This is know as detournement. It is a form of high-jacking or re-routing. It is more commonly seen as Culture Jamming. Culture jamming is often obsessed with the idea of destructing consumerism/capitalism. Culture jamming - the practise of criticising and subverting advertising and consumerism in the mass media, by methods such as producing advertisements parodying those of global brands. Adbusters potential genres: Pop Culture - Sans serif font has informal connotations Satirical Comedy - Attacks something. Adbusters uses a lot of negative white space which connotes purity but directly contrasts with the image shown on the background. Masthead changes every time. Every magazine cover is unique which shows they are challenging. There is no reference to anything that is inside. No...

Attitude Online - Wednesday 13th March

Attitude online's primary purpose is to promote the magazine. It has a dedicated readership which may be influenced by the online version of the magazine. Camp - A deliberately tongue in cheek attitude to the world which reinforces a lot of gay stereotypes. Drag shows are very camp to appeal to a gay audience Diva is a gay magazine that is also aimed at women but it is less popular than Attitude. Attitude online is a hyper-sexualised representation of men - most images of these men are topless and often in provocative poses which is surprising in accordance to societal hegemonic norms. An article is critical of lack of representation of different body types which isn't reinforced very well by the singular muscular representation of men which suggests that these images are only being used to make money as they know it plays on the potential desires of homosexual men. Articles are generally focused on grooming, fashion, celebrities and their appearance which suggest...
