Emotional Appeal
A method of Persuasion that's designed to create an emotional Response.When an advert wants to appeal to the audience to persuade them to purchase a product, they will use Pictures and videos to catch the audiences attention. For example, The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC), which uses images and videos of children living in abuse and poverty, to draw in the audience and make them feel sympathy.        

Advertising Rules

• Skittles- Taste the rainbow,    Mc donald's- I'm Lovin it,  Red Bulls- It will give you 'wings', Tesco- every little helps, Nike- Just Do it

• A lot of adverts stereotype woman, a lot adverts sexualise and objectify woman, for example lots of perfume adverts show naked woman often celebrities performing the ad. This links into the campaign in how woman are sexualised. 
• Galaxy used very popular scene in the famous film Breakfast at Tiffany's  to publish there ad, they also had a song from the popular film 'moon river' also playing in the  background. The actor performs the iconic scene but then sits in a car and gets out a galaxy chocolate bar. 
• Music is used in adverts to prevent the advert from being boring, if there is no speech or music in an advert then the advert will be boring. The music always corresponds with actions and tone of the music. Often the song has the message of the advert in it. For example Sky used the 'wouldn't it be nice' by The beach Boys to portray the message that sky allow you to keep leftover mobile data
• Celebrities are used in adverts to help promote the product and brand as it gives the brand a good reputation. George Clooney features in the coffee advert nespresso, this helps promote the brand. Also some companies use famous characters to promote their product, Mr Bean has featured in snickers adverts and Scooby Doo, Fred Flintstone and Top Cat have all featured in the bank Halifax. This idea helps attracts young people who are looking to join to join Halifax.

Spurs face FA inquiry after fan throws banana skin at Arsenal’sAubameyang

The Guardian 

This news story represents  black people, it negatively supports the fact that racism is still around today, but still in football. To sum the story a Tottenham fan threw a banana peel at Aubameyung (Arsenal's top scorer, who is also an african Gabonese football player). The fan and Tottenham have been charged by the FA, and the fan was arrested and banned from games. 

The angle in the picture on the guardian website frames the banna skin and cuts the players heads of and we only see the banna and a dolly shot of Aubameyang's legs. The headline gets to the point and literally explains the main story at head, which adds the seriousness element. The article includes quotes from tottenham staff apologising on behalf of the fan.  The Guardian are a left wing newspaper so they are likely to hugely support anti- Racism.

Racism in football have been a big thing in football down the years. A number of Black football players have experienced racism in football.

Daily Mail

Tottenham fan arrested for throwing banana on the pitch as Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang celebrates goal in North London derby

Daily Mail are a right wing newspaper, so they tend not care a lot about ethnicity equality and more about capitalism and politics.  This headline is more lighthearted than the Guardians. 

 The article doesn't accuse the fan as much as the guardian does. They are abrupt to make the point that it isn't confirmed that it was a racial offence. 

 They have identical images to the Gurdian, but they don't cut out aubameyangs legs as they show the full image, this connotes that they don't care that much about the banana. There is also another image of a banana in the air making its way to the players, the guardian also used this image. 

The Independent

The independent is an impartial newspaper it is both right and left wing.

 Analysing Newspapers

This Daily Mirror front page story captivates us with the main image that is attracting the audience. The main image is a figure of 'the statute of Liberty' with her hands over her face, which connotes disappointment and regret. As soon as the audience see this iconic American landmark, the audience quickly think America. The image has the connotations of destruction and despair due to the background image of explosions and damage. From the image we can implies that the daily mirror are against and anti-bias to  Donald Trump. The headline 'It's President Trump....' finishes the ellipse which means that there will be follow up statement, it is followed by the disappointed statute and the rhetorical question, 'what have they done?' The paper exaggerates how bad Donald Trump is.  The pull quote gives us more information on what the full article will be about and what the writers really think. The newspaper persuades a particular group of people to read this paper and those people, are people who are anti- Trump. if the writer has the same opinions as a reader they are more likely to buy the paper. 

The front cover also have a plug which is about the Croydon tram crash that killed 7 people. It was a devastating event which resulted in death. So it was odd that Trump's story had more proximity and attention then the tram crash that resulted in death. Which shows that the paper think that politics is more important that people dying. America is the elite nation that is getting all the attention in this paper. 

The Daily Mirror is Tabloid Newspaper, which means it wants an all age audience. This Front cover has more image than text, which makes it captivating and intriguing for a younger audience. The daily Mirror is owned by 'reach plc' which is one of Britans biggest newspapers publishers.
The Daily Mirror have normally supported the labour party, in the worst they have encouraged they reader to vote for Labour in general elections. Daily Mirror is a left wing side newspaper. Which means they support freedom, equality, multiculturalism and are often liberal.  So often they will support these connotations.



B-  Ofcom are in charge and are responsible for creating all UK broadcasting channels and newspaper industries.  The regulate all the articles and papers and accept and answer peoples complaints.


Extension-

The Daily Express are a right wing newspaper, which means that they are more likely to side with Donald Trump, which is evident to this Headline 'Trump Boost for EU exit' which emphasises that they see Donald trump as an ally and it is an positive thing that he has being elected.  It also implies that they side for Brexit.

Daily Express is also a tabloid paper with the same sort of format. However we have a smaller less empowering image than the Mirror's image, which means it is less serious than the Daily Mirror. Both newspapers have similar approach to personalise the article to their reader. The Mirror say ' what it means to you' which is negative. The Express say that it will have a good effect on us.

Johnny English- Strikes again (2018)

                                                       

When we see the film Johnny English we immediately know comedy because of the franchise success in the previous two films.  This poster sticks with the common association with a comedy film, as there is no setting and just has a clear one or two colour background. This is done to give a lighthearted touch. The character's body position and language  connotes a humorous element is trying to be displayed.  The characters initials are displayed in dark red colour which connote an action or thriller element as well. The characters prop also indicates action.

The audience are promised of pleasuere  because of the actors success in comedy films and tv shows, for example Rowan Atinkson was the actor for the popular comedy Mr.Bean, which indicates he has comedy experience.  The audience expect  this film to amuse them entertain them. The tagline 'when only the best will do' is an ironic and humorous statement. This tag line bigs up the characters and his ability to be a spy.

This poster uses intertextuality of James Bond Films which can say that the producers our trying to suggest that this the comedy version of James Bond. there lots of similarities and differences in these posters.
Similarties                             
Both holding a gun in right hand whilst crossing arm
Both in a strict and confident position and closed body language
Both in formal evening dinner suits
Both posters in black and white colours
Johnny is standing infant of his initials and sometimes Bond stands behind his agent tag 007
Both male and white- shows strength  and are both British
Has layers the same, title is underneath star

 Differences

Bond has a more serious facial expression than Johnny English, this connotes that Johnny English will be a comedy and Bond will be a serious action
Johnny English has a witty tagline which usually a comedy would have it also has main star name.

Trailer

The trailer for this comedy begins serious it has establishing shots of the London eye and other buildings, this is done to set the scene. Then serious music is introduced with text highlighting that there is a problem that the hero must fix, the song lyric is 'i need a hero' There are scenes just like James bond of a hand starting up a rich sports car, which are connotations of a traditional british spy. The characters face isn't shown to build tension and to keep the serious mood alive.  There is then another establishing shot of London before we get to the main charcter, where the whole mood changes. When we see him, we see the first comedy scene and the song immediately changes to an upbeat and humorous tone.

There is a fast pace editing tempo changes and scenes of the films appear and vanish rapidly. Then the main storyline is explicitly explained, thus is how we know it is a comedy action, because there both connotations of both genres in the trailer. We then see more idiotic actions from the character and his partner, for example the bike scene and Virtual reality seen, we obviously don't see the entire scene but we snippets from it.  Serious characters, like the prime minister always contradicts with what Johnny is doing, for example the prime minster says 'is the agent you put in the field making some progress', and then we are taken to a fire scene caused by the character.
