12/09/12 Media Studies Lesson


Today in Media Studies we started by discussing what we will be doing after perfume adverts. We were told that we would be making an opening for a film. The film had to be in the Action/Adventure genre. We talked about movie genres and the first six months of the year’s biggest films. These were Avengers Assemble, Prometheus, Men In Black 3, The Hunger Games and American Pie: Reunion.

We were told that the highest grossing films at the moment are sequels, prequels and superhero movies. Sequels are always thought to sell well, like The Dark Night Rises or Men In Black 3. Prequels are also thought to sell well, because it latches on to the audience’s curiosity.

We then looked at how Coke is tied with Santa Claus and how he is used to promote Coke in the winter. I found out that Santa was originally blue before Coke changed his colour to red. We also studied an advert promoting Coke that featured a woman singing and handing out Coke. Every person she gave Coke to, they immediately smiled, showing happiness with Coke and togetherness.
