Scoop it

For homework I had to create a scoop it account.  Where I could put all the websites that i used to find information and images for my media work.  I started by putting the website vintage ad browser which I used to find one of the adverts I used for my essay

essay work done in lesson

Done on second advert

The type of shot that they used for this advert in movie terms would be called a hero shot.  Where you see the main person by themselves and you can see all of them and that is what they have done here.  I think that it is trying to say that the woman in the advert doesn’t need a man to help her become someone that she can do it on her own.

Done on third moving image advert

They used the name encounter for this advert and fragrance because the advert has two people who meet one another in an encounter.  The advert could be trying to say that if you use this fragrance then you can encounter someone that you like, or perhaps someone that is extravagant and exciting.  Someone who is worth a drive over a small cliff road to a small house.

The advert shows the man as being quite powerful and masculine.  Saying to the target audience that could be men that if you where this perfume you be can as powerful and masculine as the man in the advert.  The woman in the advert is being represented as a seductive force to get the man to come to her if this was a perfume which was directed at women I would say that it was trying to persuade them that if they bought the perfume they could be seductive and get every man they wanted.

 

This advert show that women as maybe wanting a man, while as in the second one it is saying that she doesn’t need or want a man to make her successful.  The advert is different from both of the other adverts because this one shows that love attraction between a man and a woman.  While as in the first one it just has a woman standing and the second one is saying the complete opposite of this one by saying you can be reliant by yourself.

 

The advert is quite dark and gloomy for the first few seconds of it but then it gets a little lighter as the man finds the women in the house.  With the music it uses the lighting of the advert, the rain and the setting makes the advert work really well and would make you stop and look at it say if you where fast forwarding through adverts on the TV.

Describing the second hobbit trailer

Mise en scene

• the way they have all the trees at the beginning to show that it is a peaceful place
• changes to a place with trees that look dead and in the background what looks like the remains of a castle
• hills with big rocks sticking out the top which could mean that it is at the top of a big mountain
• flat grassy lands with a quite big tree and a small cottage in the back to show that the land has not been touched much around the town
• In the house the celling is low down to show that that people who live in the houses are not the tallest people
• A town that looks as if it were naturally built into the land around it
• Difference in clothing between the dwarfs, Bilbo the hobbit and Gandalf the wizard.  Bilbo wears quite plain clothing a pair of trousers and a shirt.  While as Gandalf wears what you would picture if you heard the word wizard, a big pointy hat and a look cloak.  While as the dwarfs all where different things they look complicated, made out of animal fur for some of it and they all have beards.

Camerawork

• Birds eye view to show how much forest land there still is on middle earth
• An ECU of Gandalf
• camera zooming into a map to show where the place Gandalf is describing is and how it is no where near anything else
• A close up hero shot of the lead dwarf with the rest of the dwarfs behind him
• Pan over of the shire to show how built into the land it is
• full screen shots of the dwarfs so people can see each one individually
• full screen of the mountains and dwarfs to show how far they have to travel
• zooms in on city on the side of a mountain showing the size of it and the detail in the buildings
• showing the inside of the mountain to show how dangerous it is
• ECU of Gollem to show how he looks and to show that he my not be the best person in the film

Sound

• dramatic exciting sounding music to open whilst Gandlaf is describing the dwarfs and their plan
• change after first titles to a less dramatic music which signifies a change in environment and characteristics in the characters
• another change after lead dwarf says plan and Bilbo has changed his mind about going on the adventure this change could possibly be saying this music is exciting and this is where the trailer now gets exciting.
• drum beat to signify that Bilbo has just realised what Gollem is talking about and is surprised
• another dramatic change in music to signify that it has now become more adventurous

Editing

• starts with a darker shade of green to show that it is the outside world and then changes to a much brighter shade of green to show that it is now in the shire
• bright colours on the inside of Bilbo's home to show that it is safe for him to be there
• the changes from the bright green colour of the shire to a lighter green on the trees and a white colour on the buildings to show that it is now somewhere completely different
• dark colour with only a small bit of light from a fire with monsters to show the danger that Bilbo is no in
• light blue colour to show that it is perhaps on the inside of a mountain or on the very edge of one
• inside of a different mountain with very dark colours and only tiny bits of light to show that it is now in a place that is dangerous to go to and could bring harm to anyone that enters

Ideas for second exam perfume advert

 

In this advert the women is centralised and is standing in front of the Empire State building.  Like the first advert she is looking away from the viewer of the advert.  The perfume bottle is to the right of the advert and is sitting on the floor, while as in the first one it was on the left in an arch.  She is showing her legs to get attention because she maybe wants to be the centre of attention or just wants to get men to look at her.

The woman is looking confidently in to the distance.  Maybe at something or maybe at someone.  The slogan "she's not going to marry the boy next door" gives the impression that this women is self reliant and doesn't need a man to be successful.  The clothes she is wearing suggests that she might be wealthy as she is able to afford clothes like that.

This perfume advert I believe is trying to say if you wear this perfume you can be self reliant and not need to marry the first man you see, but wait.
