Advert Analysis

The model is shown wearing a lacy, low cut top or dress and a large gold earring in her right ear. She has one hand placed at the top of the dress and looks as if she is about to pull it off like she ‘can’t contain herself’, while the other hand tugs at her earring.
The advert has a main theme of gold (gold earring, gold eyeliner, golden skin, gold bottle) and the background is fairly dark but shows a blurry chandelier which gives the idea that wealthy people would wear this perfume.
The model’s eyes stare down into the camera and one eyebrow is raised which gives the impression that she knows something that the reader doesn’t and that she is in control. It makes the advert intriguing and mysterious and also makes the viewer want to be just like the model.
This advert also should appeal to men. The model shows a lot of skin and cleavage which automatically draws a man’s attention and makes him think of his own partner in the way he is thinking about the model, which consequently should make him want to buy the perfume for his partner.
The bottle of perfume is placed in the bottom, right hand corner of the advert. It is large and gold which makes it look very expensive and grand. ‘Sparkles’ have been added to the bottle to make it seem more special and they make the bottle stand out even more. Next to the bottle, it says the perfume name ‘J’adore L’absolu’. The word J’adore, meaning I Love, is in a large Serif font which I think is supposed to represent the passion of the advert. ‘L’absolu’ is in a smaller font and is in italic writing to stress the meaning of it which is ‘the absolute one’. The fact that the perfume name in French, probably appeals to the viewer because it seems more unique, more special and by owning the perfume they may think that they will also become ‘unique’ and ‘special’. In the top, right hand corner, ‘Dior’ is displayed in white, on top of the darkest background. It is also in a serif font and it gives the impression of wealth and of being ‘proper’. At the very bottom of the advert it says ‘The new Eau de Parfum: J’adore L’absolu’. Notice how it says ‘The’ instead of ‘A’, this is so the advert sticks in the viewers mind as the only new perfume that has recently been released.

Magazine Questionnare



A1. A magazine is a small book thats laminated. It contains lots of pictures and loads of chatty texts.
A2.  A magazine has loads of genres that relate to different people.
A3.Advice, fashion, real live stories and gossip.
A4. To catch up with whats going on with celebrities, whats the latest fashion, the latest hair styles and so on.
A5. Hello, heat, O.K., and the one they talk about soaps such as: eastender 'corrie' the nations street'. The reason people read magazines is to have something to talk about and feel excited about for example the new twilight series movie 'breaking dawn.'
A6. I think it will stay the same because papparazi will never leave celebrities alone, however i personally think women are going to change and not sell themselves. Hopefully.

How does attack the block represent young people?

Over the last week we have been watching the film attack the block.In this film youths are portrayed as frightening and dangerous although the charcters in this movie are all under the age of eighteen; They smoke (weed), rob people and basically get up to all sorts of trouble.



In this picture, you can see that Moses is the main character because the camera is a close-up shot.



In this picture, you can see that the nurse  has a lower status than the boys, because she is behind them, however she's still important enough to be seen.
