Minotory Report


This medium close up shot allows a clear shot of the police men who looks like they have came to get someone. These police men looks like they are after someone as they came in a group and it also looks like they are after someone very dangerous as they look like they are armed and well protected. They look armed because they are wearing safety helmets and you can see the strap of were the gun is, you can also see their protective clothing the police men are wearing. This allows the audience to understand there is going to be some kind of action/drama about to take place, also the Juxtaposition of the scene before this was Tom Cruise running of the subway train and running into these police men and this tells the audience that these police men are about to chase Tom Cruise.

Also they look like they are somewhere underground as you can see the staircase going down behind the group of the police men.



 This is an Wide Shot image, a Wide Shot image allows us to see were the scene is set. In this Wide Shot image we can see a old car that looks like it has been vandalized and been sitting in that one spot for some time, also in the background we can see some houses/shops that looks like it is in repair because you can see the builders standing area. The Juxtaposition of the scene before this was Tom Cruise running away from the police men so this will let the audience know that Tom Cruise will be running round the corner and coming into this Wide Shot scene.
Also this scene looks like it has been taken from the front of an alley way, you can tell this because we can see darkness and shadows and if you look behind the car we can see Tom Cruise running towards the alley way as if he is running away the police men that is chasing him, also the car is rusty and looks like it hasn't been moved for a while. Also the shops are under construction so this lets the audience know that running into an alley way is not a good idea as there could be criminals there.


 

This image looks like it is a Medium Close Up Shot, a Medium Close Up Shot is when we can see the main character's face to his shoulder.
In this Medium Close Up image we can see Tom Cruise who looks like he has been captured by the group of the police men, we can tell this by his facial expressions, he looks like he is out of breathe, and looks like he is talking with the police men.
Behind Tom Cruise we can see the alley way he ran into, we can't see a lot of the alley way but we can see the shop he got caught in front of while he is in the alley way.The Juxtaposition of the scene before this was Tom Cruise running into the alley way trying to get away from the police. This lets the audience know that Tom Cruise didn't get far from the police and knows that Tom Cruise may do something to get away from the police or Tom Cruise may get taken in to questioning by the police.
This scene looks like it has been taken from someone were outside the alley way but really it is inside the alley way because in the scene before this we know that he ran inside the alley way and that is were he got caught.

fifa advert



Media Language

The first key convention that tells you this is a sports game is the EA Sports logo in the middle also the way the word `FIFA` is written is the same every year a Fifa game comes out. The key images on this cover shows pictures of two really talented footballers Lionel Messi and Gareth Bale. These superstars from the Premier League/La Liga are specifically chosen to advertise on the FIFA 14 cover as they are really good footballers and they are known world wide, FIFA has used these 2 superstars because every one would recognise them which makes it a better selling point for their games. In the background you can see that there is a real stadium and fans whcih have no colour, which means these are less important, and the things in colour are what are meant ot stand out, making them more eye catching.

Institution

The game was produced by EA sports and is avalible on many platforms. The game was first made to be played on the ps3 and xbox before it was made for any other games console,. It is a very successful game untill this day and continues to sell out nationwide. EA has a repuatation for creating different marketing campagins and FIFA is one of their most succesfull games.

Audience

There are 2 males on the picture, Football is predominantly a male game, but it would still apply to some females who like sport. There is no specific age range as young kids to adults can play the game, although on the cover it says 12+ which states children under the age of 12 would struggle on how to play the game. The main colours are black, white, strong red and strong blue; these are more manly colours, whereas females would like softer colours such as pink, light blue and yellow.

Representation 

The cover of the fifa game has no ethnicity because the two males on the cover are from different backgrounds, this is normal for Fifa as they represent themselves as cutlery diverse. The videogames market is popular for both male and female but fifa is more focused on males as seen in this advert because of the images and colours used

Media Database

Video games and heavy metal makes young people more likely to commit violent crimes. 


In my opinion I disagree with this statement because young people who are the ones who are most likely to be victims of dangerous crimes. Also young people who go and buy themselves a copy of these violent games and play these violent games such as Call of duty and Grand theft auto don't go out and commit violent crimes.
