Represent NHS blood campaign CSP

-
1) What does BAME stand for?
Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic.

2) Why is there a need for blood in the BAME community?
There is a need for minority groups as some illnesses need blood donations from specific  blood types that can come from Asian and black heritage.

3) What does this advert want people to do once they've seen it (the 'call to action')?
They want younger people of colour to donate blood to NHS.

4) Why is the advert called 'Represent'?
It is called represent because they are representing people in minority groups yet also representing different fields of work which is very inclusive towards a large group. 

5) Why have the producers chosen famous BAME celebrities to feature in the advert? Give an example of three well-known people who appear in the advert and why they are famous - make sure you write their names and spell them accurately.
BAME celebrities are used to show how the people that are saved due to blood donations can also have big success and live a good life.

6) What are the connotations of the slow-paced long shot of empty chairs at the end of the advert?
It can be seen in two ways: the three chairs are open and free for new donors to use , or it could be seen as empty chairs of the people who needed blood but didn't get any so they passed away. 

7) How does the advert match the key conventions of a typical urban music video?
It has the singer in the middle of the shot as they main focal point.

8) How does the advert subvert stereotypes? Give three examples (e.g. ethnicity, masculinity, femininity, age, class, disability/ability etc.) 
Femininity is subverted as a female portrays a boxer which is a stereotypical masculine and aggressive sport , it shows that disabled people can still thrive and have success and it portrays all classes having success no matter the job.

9) How does the advert reinforce certain stereotypes of the BAME community? Could there be an oppositional reading where some audiences would find this advert offensive or reinforcing negative stereotypes?
It portrayed black people playing sports which is a common stereotype.

10) Choose one key moment from the advert and write an analysis of the connotations of camera shots and mise-en-scene (CLAMPS).

The medium shot of lady leshurr is used to give the audience a sense of familiarity and relatability. This is done using the setting of London's buildings/skyscrapers and this means that the target audience from London where a majority of people who use NHS come from can feel at home and/or relate to this advert.

  Q.1-  1/1 Q.2-  1/1 Q.3-  9/12  Expand: dominant red colour where? Is that the main point?  Re-writing this question The advert is trying to convey that this perfume is rich and elegant.In this advert Beyonce is wearing a red dress which connotes to love, passion, elegance and sexuality. The camera angle is low and her facial expression is determined which both portray her as powerful and dominant. This is further emphasised by Beyonce's status as a celebrity.  The high-key lighting is mostly focused on Beyonce as the product is hers and draws the audience's attention to her.  This  advert has text that tells the audience that this product is made by Beyonce which could appeal to more materialistic people (possibly aspirers) as they want to feel as luxurious and elegant as Beyonce . Q.4-  2/2 I think this is one of my strongest questions because I was able to identify the conn...

Reception Theory

1)-The preferred reading is the meaning the producers are trying to communicate to the audience. 2)-The  oppositional reading  is when the audience's opinion goes against the meaning the producers are trying to communicate. 3)-The Harry Brown trailer wants the audience's preferred reading to be that the teenagers are violent and dangerous as they are gang affiliated, criminals and some of them murder. 4)-The oppositional reading of the Harry Brown trailer is that Harry is just as much as a criminal as the teenagers are .This could be the interpretation as in the trailer he is seen with a gun and he wants to take revenge. 150 word McDonalds avert analysis 5)- This McDonalds advert's preferred reading is that the burger is worth the money and fresh. The producers want the audience to  think this as they repeat the word "fresh" and "big"."Big"emphasises that the amount is large giving the impression that the burger is big especially for the price...
