What we have done in media

In media so far in Year 9 we have learnt many things based around Film Posters. We already had experience with Photoshop but relied more on it for creating a film poster. We also had a two hour media lesson where we had to make a film using the cameras around a story-line. We have also learnt to take pictures on a camera and upload to blogger.

This car advert for a Land Rover is telling us that the Land Rover is a rugged machine and for those who want an adventure they should own it. It also has the Land Rover logo and slogan "Go Beyond".

 This car advert for the Mini Cooper here is showing us a picture of a road and houses, what a mini has to encounter as a car and it is telling us that having a Mini will be fun like a rollercoaster.

This car advert for the Mercedes E-class is good because it stands out but is simple as there is only a background the car and a wordplay saying Superfect and of course the Mercedes logo.

My Car Advert

This advert which is advertising the Land Rover Discovery 4 is like a professional advert because it has a nice clear picture of the product we are trying to sell. It uses appropriate text and font in the advert otherwise it wouldn't be professional. Like other car adverts which are print adverts it also has information on the car. It has a bold title and a good catchy slogan which says Off-roading just got better again which explains this type of car. My target audience is a man around 30-40 years old who has a family because it has seven seats but also likes to have a bit of off-roading fun.

What does an advert (print) need to have to make it look professional?
It would need a clear picture of the product, A good name and slogan and information on the product in small print on the bottom.


How does an advert persuade people that they "need" the product advertised? 
Usually if it is a popular and they make a new one you want it because it is better and you want it or you feel left behind. It gives you more confidence and people will respect you or so you think. 

 This product's advertisement is grabbing our attention because it has a good clear picture of the product and some information on the product, but snappy. It tells us that it is the most amazing Iphone yet so that tells us that it has got to be great and we want one so we spend money on it.





This advertisement from Ikea is simple yet clever. It is telling us that Ikea sells everything including books on  building bookshelves and that is why the whole bookshelf is made out of different books.

     1) The first ever advert on U.K. television was on ITV for S.R. toothpaste on September 22 1955.

2) The most expensive slot for an advert is at £250,000 during the Britain's got talent intervals.

3) In the U.S.A. advertising is considered the best way to attract a mass market and therefore it is much more expensive in the U.S.A. than in the U.K.

4)Digital recorders such as Tivo have made a good impact in media because they show a variety of channels and the schedule but offer more channels and packages to watch films and are much better than  normal T.V.

5) Product placement is another form of advertisement where goods are are placed in context.

6) Cigarette adverts on television were banned on 1st August 1965.

7) The most expensive T.V. advert ever made at £10 million was for “good things come to those who wait” by Guinness. It was so expensive because of the things they used. They used 6,000 dominoes, 10,000 books, 400 tyres, 75 mirrors, 50 Fridges, 45 wardrobes and 6 cars.

8) The cheapest ever advert was at £6.50 for Doritos and it was this cheap because it was made by two 25 year-olds at home by using stop-motion filming.

9)I like this advert made for Hoover and it is emphasising the use of a vacuum cleaner and how they work.

I also like this advert that is for Audi Le Mans  and in 2 minutes and 31 seconds Allan Mcnish the Audi driver describes to us the whole sport of Le Mans.

This Apple Ipad 2 advert is also quite good because it shows us clear pictures of the Ipad  2 and uses short sentences being told to us by an over voice. E.g. If you ask a musician they will tell you it is inspiring. The advert doesn’t bore us but neither an advert to remember.
