Coursework preliminary exercise

 1) Write a 100 word statement of intent explaining what you are going to make for your preliminary exercise.

I plan to meet my 40-60 second adver about a girl who is worried about her body and wants to stay healthy aswell as still have flavour on her tastebuds and she discovers the drink volvic which has a range of flavoured water which helps satisfy her tastebuds.The beginning of my advert will have slow paced music to set the style and have a medium shot aswell as a close up shot of the girls phone where the product volvic will first be advetised (pack shot).To set the scene of the start of my advert there will be low-key lighting and it will most likely be at night.I deliberately do this to show daily life so that the audience relates to it.

The middle of my advert will be the girl outside doing things most people do in their daily life (using a medium close up shot,close up shot and a pack shot).During my advert i want my product to be adverised a lot where the girl goes around as well as the posters involving what is inside the drink.At the end of the advert my character will be inside the shop and finally buys the drink.She then drinks it (included in the advert) and finally realises the drink tastes good aswell as how it unlocked her "inner tastebuds".At the very end of my advert it will be my character drinking the product and the product will be on as an overly on top of my character with my slogan being used.I will also use a voiceover and add a website where people can donate to.

Statement of intent: 100 words explaining what you plan to make.
Example statement of intent [147 words]: 
I plan to make a 30 second advert about a student struggling in school due to tiredness and behaviour issues who is helped by their rehydrating health drink. The beginning of the advert will have a montage editing sequence of different issues that the student is having with a soundtrack that fits a negative overall mood. My character will be in school uniform that is deliberately messed up to help communicate the struggles the student is experiencing.
The middle of the advert will involve the character discovering the product with close-up shots of the product (pack shot) and also the character drinking the product. The advert will then end with the character alert, in perfect uniform and answering a question in class and being successful. The final seconds will have a logo and slogan of the health drink with a voiceover saying the product name and slogan. [147 words]
2) Write a script for your preliminary exercise on your blog. This needs to include stage directions AND dialogue. To see how a TV drama script is presented, and to look at professional examples, check out the BBC Writers' Room and click on Script Library. These will not be advert scripts but the layout will be the same.

Beginning (advert 1):

Advert:
"why have tap water or regular watewr when u can have...."
"VOLVIC! A drink that tastes like water as well as has flavour to it but also has naturall water itself"
"If you want to stay healthy but also have a small sweet taste volvic is the drink for u!"
"volvic contains 20% less added sugar than any normal drink itself as well as containing pure natural fruits"
"BUY VOLVIC TODAY"
"the only drink that can help u unlock ur inner tastebuds,imbibe volvic"

3) Casting: Who will be in your preliminary exercise advert?

me and a friend 

4) Plan your locations: Where you will film your preliminary exercise? (You can film off-site if you wish to do this for homework - this is what we would strongly recommend). Important note: You CANNOT take any students out of any other lessons OR disturb any other lessons in the school. If you wish to film in-school then you will need to film with Mr Ray supervising or after school with a Media teacher present. 

first at school wherever im allowed and for hw at home and a gym and the streets

5) Write your shot list: every shot you plan to film. This needs to be far MORE shots than you will actually use in the final edited version - plan extra angles, close-ups, long shots and more. You can find an example shot list here. This is for a narrative film but the layout will be the same. 

-pack shots 4x
-long shots 10x
-close up 8x
-medium close up 12x
-over the shoulder 2x
-extreme close up 7x

Reception theory

  1) What is the preferred reading of a media text? The preferred reading of a media text  is how the producer wants the audience to see the media text. 2) What is the oppositional reading of a media text? The oppositional reading of a media text is something that places the audience in a different position they were in before/changes their view. 3) How does the Harry Brown trailer position the audience to respond to the teenage characters in the film? The trailer of the Harry Brown clip wants the audience to think that most kids are very bad and like to commit bad things because of what other people are doing or to be cool.This shows us that most people commit to doing bad things because of the influence of other people.This would most certainly make the audience believe that if they are doing these bad things they would not care about the consequences of their own actions.Meaning if they got in trouble they would not care and would still continue their bad ways. 4) Why might...

Gender representation in advertising

3) What stereotypes of women can you find in the 1950s and 1960s adverts? Give specific examples.  Women were seen to stay at home and do all the cooking and cleaning.Their hair had to be perfectly done and their makeup should be flawless.In the adverts the women would always be cooking or cleaning.The products for the advert would always be a cleaning or cooking product and the main character would always feature a women in it.The stereotype was that women should stay home and be cooking or cleaning  for their husband while he works to make money for the household.Also women would have to have their hair and makeup done for their husband to seem pretty and modest for them. 4) What stereotypes of women can you find in the post-2000s adverts?  The stereotypes form women in the 2000s was that they had to please men.This meant that they were heavily objectified and had to make sure that they fitted the beauty standards.Women were still seen as much more weaker  than men...

OMO advert CSP

  1) What year was the advert produced? The year the  OMO  advert was produced was in 1955 2) How were women represented in most adverts in the 1950s? Add as much detail to this answer as you can as these are the social, cultural and historical contexts we will need to write about in the exam. In most adverts in the 1950s women were presented as cookers and cleaners.The way these adverts were presented always showed a massive stereotype towards women.For example in the OMO advert it features a women enjoying hanging up the washing.Her facial expressions show that she is shocked and is also enjoying what she is doing.To show this was a stereotype the advert used a women (could be seen as a mother).At the bottom of the advert there is some text where it says "This will shake your mother".This is a stereotype because it fully shows that this product was aimed towards mothers because they are always cleaning and want their clothes and items to look the best of the best. 3) Ho...
