Cinematography of Print Ad

Cinematography Shot Type: Medium shot with a focus on the animal. Angle: Level, focussing on the facial expression of the sweet creature. Lighting: the lighting would be minimalistic as a way of showing that there is hope for said creature but not so much as we need to establish a sad atmosphere. Location: the location would be the habitat of the creature I have chosen, but the habitat would most likely look broken to emphasise the dire situation that the creatures are in as ill be focussing mostly on endangered species. What creature(s) will be in the advert: I'm still not sure on what creature to base my ad on, I could make multiple ads with the creatures I'm about to list or just do one ad on a single creature.

The cultural capital of this students family is like

LFD and Audience Participation

Audience Involvement in Stranger Things and T he Killing Stranger Things: Stranger Things can be consumed on Netflix only (legally) and because their target audience is the younger demographic they usually respond on social media and connect that way. Additionally, on Netflix they have a review system so the audience can respond through reviews and ratings on Netflix which allows them to quickly see how their show is doing lets them make quick changes if needed. Websites such as Facebook, Tumblr and Wikipedia all contain content related to Stranger things such as fan pages, showing they have a large fandom which connects via social media and other sites like YouTube where theories and fan art are shared.  People also make merchandise for the show which shows people are really interested in the show and want to let people know they watch it. On sites such as YouTube fans of the show connect by sharing their ideas in a video format so others can communicate their thought

Opening Sequences and Narrative Theories

Casino Royale Casino Royale seems to follow the narrative theory of equilibrium. I think this because the start of every Bond film is usually set out in this format and this one is no exception usually bond uncovers the big problem shortly after the start but at the beginning of a Bond movie everything is usually under his control. Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 In this movie I think it follows the equilibrium theory too as everything is all okay in the movie up until rocket misbehaves big time but I shall not spoil it, I also think everything is okay because there isn't much happening that phases the guardians at the beginning and like the Bond film it all goes wrong right after the opening sequence so it a short lived equilibrium. 

LFD and Constructing Audiences

How these trailers helped to construct an audience: Stranger Things This trailer appeals to the younger demographic as the trailer makes sure at least 3 times that people know its made and shown on Netflix. Another thing to note is that the show looks very 80s themed which could indicate that fans of the 80s may be part of the target audience, moreover the show is quite mysterious and seems sci fi as a main theme of the trailer is a child disappearing because of a light switching off or on.  The killing (Forbrydelsen)  The killing has a much more serious tone to it and is clearly about murder and usually adults like murder so this would indicate that the target audience is adults that like crime shows. There also seems to be quite a bit of gore in the trailer and the only dialogue we hear in the whole trailer is a man shouting so the trailer definitely constructs a creepy and mysterious atmosphere. Also the trailer doesn't give a whole lot away which means it probably fol

Editing Techniques and Thoughts on them...

Editing techniques: Cutaway: I think the cutaway is a good editing technique, i like it as it makes tasks seem more intense or interesting. I think this would be useful in all genres as it is a very versatile technique that can be inserted in most scenes where a character is doing something. I could use this technique in some of my work as it is quite interesting and makes things look more professional.   Cross Cutting: I like the cross cutting editing technique because you are able to see the expressions on peoples face during a conversation which is interesting as we get to see what all the characters are feeling which is more entertaining to watch. I think this is also a technique that could be implemented into most genres unless its one where cellular devices do not exist. Jump Cuts: I also like jump cutting too, it gives us a sense of how much time has passed if done correctly for example a change of cloches or a tied look without needing to watch everything happen. I think
