Minority Report Shot Analysis

Shot 1:

From this picture, I can infer that  the officers are getting ready to attack. The image doesn't show what the officers are targeting. Their faces have serious looks which show that they won't hesitate to shoot. The shot type is a medium close-up shot used to show emotion as you can see. The officers are standing firm in their position.

Shot 2:

From this picture, I can infer that Tom Cruise (the man on the right) is going to attempt a jump over the car ahead of him. This shot type is an establishing shot to show the environment he is in. He is in a hurry to escape from the officers. The picture shows that he is running at a fast pace to get away.

Shot 3:


From this picture, I can infer that Tom Cruise in the photo is looking at something he doesn't like the sight of. He has stopped because he may have been caught by the officers and could be surrounded. This is a close-up to show the emotion of Tom Cruise in this scene. He is standing firm and is being aware of his surroundings.

Adidas F50 Trainers Advertisement

Language:
The genre of the Adidas ad is sport and on the left of the player, in blue, there are the words ‘every team needs a spark.’ connoting that the player who has the boots is the one who will be playing the best on the pitch. Therefore the people who want to impress their team mates will buy the shoes.

Institution:
The company behind this pair of F50s is Adidas; a well-known sport company that is endorsed by many footballers and music artists. This multinational institution made 14 million as their highest amount earned last year in 2013.

Audience:
The audience for this advert can be anyone, however, I think that the percentage of men who would watch this advert would about 80% and the female percentage would be 20% because football is described to be more of a masculine sport. The age range for this ad would probably be around 18-25 because 18 yr old people would have enough money to buy a few things for themselves and would probably have enough to buy the shoes in the ad.

Representation:

The way Adidas have chosen to represent the new shoes is to get a common but extremely good player to wear the trainers. This would specifically be pointed out to older people (mainly footballers), although they would make sizes for children and teens so that the company gets more money and the product becomes common.

Media Debate

Video games and heavy metal music
make young people more likely to 
commit violent crimes:


The reason that I agree with this statement is because whenever there is a new game that is 18+, people buy these game so that they can show it to their friends even though they are too young for the game itself. These games are classified as 18+ because they contain things like blood, sexual content and mostly violence however, the creators of the game know that people under-aged are going to buy the game. When young people play these sorts of games, it makes them think that it's as easy as driving an automatic car as it is trying to get away from the police.

Heavy metal music has extremely terrible lyrics that corrupts people's minds and makes them want to do terrible things for example making people feel bad about themselves or hurting them and destroying things out of anger. This genre of music can cause depression and suicide to the people who listen to it. Another thing that heavy metal music does is tear families apart. Teenagers are most likely to listen to this music and they would stay in their rooms for the whole day. The violence in the lyrics would make them more aggressive towards their friends & family.
