Revision Lesson - Mon 25th March

In what ways do these adverts create meaning? Make reference to intertextuality, viewpoints, ideologies.

Wateraid advert is subversive of other charity adverts.

This is primarily targeting a middle class audience but it will be a working class audience who donates.

Anti-Smoking Advert

Mise-en-scene of cancer on a cigarette

NHS ad uses horror aspect (horror conventions) to make audience visualise the damage to their body.

Binary opposition between horror conventions of NHS ad and the high key lighting in the water-aid advert.

Wateraid advert raises awareness through the use of hopeful conventions through the positive outlook.

Non diegetic sound gives a realistic atmosphere to the audience which makes it more relatable.

Claudio sings in English and sings a cover of a British song. This allows the audience to instantly relate to the advert.

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.

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.

Articles are generally focused on grooming, fashion, celebrities and their appearance which suggest...
