Represent NHS Advert

-





 1) What does BAME stand for?

Black and minority ethnic

2) Why is there a need for blood in the BAME community? 

Because only 3% of black and minority ethnic people donate blood and the NHS needs more for patients.

3) What does this advert want people to do once they've seen it (the 'call to action')?

It wants people from the BAME community to donate blood as a gift for patients.

4) Why is the advert called 'Represent'?

So the people who donate can represent their community.

5) Why have the producers chosen famous BAME celebrities to feature in the advert? Give an example of three well-known people who appear in the advert and why they are famous - make sure you write their names and spell them accurately.

First there is Lady Leshurr who is the rapper in the video, We also have Kanya King who is the founder and CEO of MOBO and we also have Nicola Adams the olympic gold medal boxer you see subverting stereotypes in the video.

6) What are the connotations of the slow-paced long shot of empty chairs at the end of the advert?

It tells us those are the most important part in the video and the producers want the audience to focus on them deeply so they will donate blood, also it links to the 3% of people who donate and also if people don't donate the patients will die that's why the chairs are empty.

7) How does the advert match the key conventions of a typical urban music video?

They are shooting in the city and there is a scene where lady leshurr is on a parking rooftop also there are a lot of greys and green and beige colours.

8) How does the advert subvert stereotypes? Give three examples (e.g. ethnicity, masculinity, femininity, age, class, disability/ability etc.) 

We see a black female scientist which subverts feminine stereotypes and also ethnicity stereotypes al;so there is a female boxer who subverts the feminine stereotypes and there is the olympic wheelchair basketball player who subverts the disability stereotypes.

9) How does the advert reinforce certain stereotypes of the BAME community? Could there be an oppositional reading where some audiences would find this advert offensive or reinforcing negative stereotypes?

One oppositional reading is that they chose the genre of Grime and Rap to represent the BAME community which could be offensive to some people in the BAME community.

10) Choose one key scene from the advert and write an analysis of the connotations of camera shots and mise-en-scene (CLAMPS).

I choose the scene where they focus on the three empty chairs, i think the reason the chairs are empty i chose this because the empty chairs connote the 3% of people that did donate and also that there arent enough of poeple to fill the chairs.

Industry and audience power essay

As a result of the internet I think audiences have a stronger power to some extent than they used to but also the industries have some power due to producing whereas audience really controls the sales and viewing rates of the media product. In my opinion the internet definitely makes the audience way more powerful than 20 years ago. The changes in the music industries have had a drastic change for audiences, some of the changes include; streaming applications, for example spotify, YouTube, music and soundclound these streaming devices have increased the easier abilities for audiences to listen to music which also increase the rate of views on music to. Another change on music industries is that the music is now global so everyone In the world can listen to music for free however in the older days you had to but CDs and records or listen to the radio and they did not have online statistics for the popularity of the music. Now also the streaming apps have subscriptions where you have to

Statement of Intent feedback and LR

  Current mark: 5 Approximate grade: 5 WWW: This is a clear statement of intent with a good idea for a TV drama sequence that meets the science fiction/fantasy genre brief. There are some nice creative touches and a clear understanding shown of target audience. Specific reference to media language and representation holds this back from the upper levels. EBI: There’s a little too much narrative development – keep this to just a sentence or two so you are not using too many words on description. The biggest issue is a lack of specific media language planning – you say what shots you plan to film but not why you will do it and the effect this will have on the audience. You need to use terminology and discuss the connotations of the media language choices you are planning. The main areas to do this are the camera shots, mise-en-scene, sound or editing (write about specific camera shots you will use and what they will communicate to the audience, specific aspects of mise-en-scene in detail

Reception theory

 1) A preferred reading of a text is the mindset the producers want you to take away from the piece of media that they are showcasing to you. 2) The oppositional reading is the mindset the producers don't want you to take away from the piece of media, basically the opposite of a preferred reading. It is also the reading when people disagree with the advert and preferred reading. 3) In the trailer Harry Brown want the audience to feel like the teens are a threat and dangerous, he wants the audience to feel as if the teens are the evil or bad guy in the film e.g. the use of weapons and language used but also the clothes they are wearing and the body language. 4)People or teens may reject this mindset and have an oppositional reading because they don't believe the stereotype that ALL teens are a threat to vulnerable people and that teens are dangerous murders. 5) The preferred reading for the McDonald's advert is for the audience to see or watch it and to want to buy and eat t
