McDonalds advert: Estate  

In the first shot of the advert the technique used to show the location and setting was an extreme long shot, as you see the estate block and the entire background which shows that the location is a city due too all the large buildings.

The second shot which is a long shot of a group of youths. You can see it is a long shot as you can see what attire they are wearing and that is connected to the younger generation. Then there is a middle shot of a elderly man in the same location of the youths. His expressions are seen to be him showing interest in the youths way of listening too music.  There is an extreme close up of the cellular devices in which music is playing off. The extreme close up is indicating to the audience that it shows importance and is relevant to the story line.

There is a shot of a vinyl player which is an extreme close up , this shows that its retro and that the two characters are from two different generations. We as an audience see an old generation and younger one, they still has something in common which is that they find McDonald's a favourable place to eat. This is shown when both characters eat McDonald's fries in the same manner and this is shown in a close up shot. With these media techniques used in the advert it conveys that McDonald's has always been popular with all generations and will remain like that.

The film must subvert convention enough to be considered unique and not just a clone of an existing film. Task 2 MUSIC VIDEO ANALYSIS The Lumineers- Ho Hey This music video is primarily performance-based as it features the band playing their instruments together and lip-syncing the lyrics of the song, all in slow motion. Above is an over-the-shoulder shot of the artist playing his guitar, this has been taken at a relatively low angle so the audience can feel the busy party atmosphe...

Vance Joy   - Riptide The song fits into the genres of indie folk and indie pop, which explains why the music video draws its influences from indie sub-culture, evident in the fashions and locations featured in the video. Indie sub-culture is heavily influenced by iconography which revolves around the natural world and vintage culture, and a lot of music videos that fit into the indie genre focus themselves around natural spaces and areas. The indie fashions which are featured in the music video are also reinforced in motive by the overall look of the video, which has a somewhat vintage feel. This is due to the effects used on the video which make it appear also aged due to warmer colour balance used on the clips. Video also relates to the idea of the male gaze, which was proposed by Laura Mulvey. The male gaze is a concept of second-wave feminism in which the camera (and subsequently, the viewer) are put into the perspective of a heterosexual man, thus allowing fo...
