www: Question 1 was stronger and you have Incorporated some theories accurately. EBI: Your answers are too vague. Make sure you read examiner's comment and mark scheme. For each point you need proof form text that is specific. Improved answer Why does the film appeal to such wide audiences?  This video has a lot of reasons for how it has such a wide audience appeal. One way is age because it doesn't really target one age group. This means that anyone can relate with the advert so it is easier for them to get their message across. People can say that the girl isn't included in this but she is as other little children can learn to stay safe without parents as well. An example is if a parent forgets to do their seat belt, the child can tell them. It shows a typical family with 2 parents, male and female, with a child.  This reinforces the stereotypes of a happy family. This is one of Dyer line of appeals. It shows that having a stable family can help you stay safe and ...

1) Watch this clip from BBC Question Time with Russell Brand and Nigel Farage. The BBC deliberately placed the two against each other and the episode resulted in far more people watching and tweeting than usual. What examples of  binary opposition  can you suggest from watching this clip? The two opposition Russell Brand & Nigel Farage are discussing about if there is a problem with our immigration policys. Nigal Farage has a very right wing approach and blames the immigration's for all the problems faced by the country because of it.

In addition, he states that because of immigrates, general life would get worse. However, Russell Brand is saying that the very rich upper classes are the ones to blame. He takes a very lef...

1) Which do you think is the most appealing and why? Try to use some of our audience theory in your answer.  In my opinion, the M&S is the moat appealing. This is because we create a bond with the little kid and feel that we know him as a friend. I also think that having Santa Claus in the video allows the older generation to reminisce about childhood. In addition, it shows us that Christmas bringing families together which the audience meant be looking forward to. People could also connect to the advert if they had a older or younger brother or sister. 2) Are there any audience pleasures that two or more of the adverts have in common? Choose two examples to illustrate your point.  One other advert that has the same audience pleasure as M&S is Adli. This is because, they both include Santa Claus which the audience can  reminisce  about their childhood. 3) Choose a different advert and identify the target audience for the advert. Answer in terms of ...

One of the representation theory that Deadpool includes is Perkins theory. A stereotypes that can be positive or partly true. Specifically, she stated that stereotypes are... Not always negative - Colossus. He is one of the Helpers that helps Deadpool defeat the villains. He is seen as being muscular Russian. Not always about the less powerful (Politicians are corrupt) Can be about our own social groups-Negasonic Teenage Warhead. She is one of the helpers. Young people are extremely into social media. This is because the Internet allows them to connect to other people with the same interest. This part is seen at 2:16 Not always false- The superhero Deadpool finds the princess Copycat at the end to be reunited again. This is not in the trailer but is in the ending of the movie. We see this in most superhero movies as the audience expects a happy ending in all films. Can change over time- We see women in both hero and villain roles. Before we only saw woman in a support rol...
