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.

This is know as detournement. It is a form of high-jacking or re-routing. It is more commonly seen as Culture Jamming.

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 - Thursday 14th March

The difference between the representations of men in the online and the print version of this magazine is that the online magazine shows men as being more buff which paints an unrealistic expectation of gay men to have these body types. Print cover has a gay man with a moustache which is an intertextual reference to Freddie Mercury. The print cover positions the audience as a gay man who has had problems with bullying from 'jocks' in the past. He is wearing a US Army Costume which may be used to appeal to an international audience. The femininity of the camp hand on hip gesture is a convention that is specific to the gay magazine genre. He is breaking the fourth wall with the direct mode of address with the look into the camera. It presents the gay male on the front as androgynous which he clearly isn't but this is a form of anchorage. If somebody is a closet-gay then they can view the website so that they don't have to buy to magazine. It may be a way to reduce the...
