Trainer Advertisment

I have made this advertisment for 'Streets' high tops. The high tops I chose are gold, black, stylish and expensive looking. I decided to contrast the dear appearence of the trainers with a urban/ New York theme. The background is a black and white graffiti wall - something commonly seen in the concrete jungle of urban areas. I added a image of the head of the Statue of Liberty to give the trainers and advert a look of added significance. Following this, the trainer brand and slogan are in different shades of green to match the image, however, this is mainly to represent the colour of money - which reflects the gold, expensive looking high tops the advert aims to sell. The slogan 'Urban Walk' compliments the description 'hard wear high tops with urban style' - this conveys that the trainers can take the hard, rubble coated street of urban areas, whilst maintaining the stylish, rich appearence of whoever is wearing them. The image of the high tops themselves are the main image of the advert, placed in the lower middle of the poster. It is also the biggest image, portraying the main focous of the advertisment.

What Happens in Vegas - Extreme Long Shot

 

This is an extreme long shot/ establishing shot typically used at the beginning of a film, with the title written across the screen. The shot can introduce a setting or the suggest that the featured characters may be overwhelmed by that setting. It is also used to show the audience where the film is based and to get a feel for the environment and the size scale of it. It also converys the size of the characters compared to where they are. Sometimes the establishing shot suggests what genre the film will be. For example, from this establishing shot I can tell the film will be a romantic comedy - the text is jazzy like a Vegas sign so it's not a serious or scary film, and Vegas is busy and noisy, which is the type of setting usually used to represent a troubled relationship.

James Bond - High Angle

This is a high angle from James Bond. The camera is placed above looking down on him. It is used to make the character appear small and low of power. It puts them in a state of fear and danger. It also makes the audience feel fear for the character and adds to the adrenaline of the film scene.  Often with high angles the settings are rocky, high or generally full of risks. This adds to the fear factor because any wrong move can have terrible consequences. However, the characters used in action high angles usually come out fine and alive, to reasure the audience that they are superhuman or will always win their missions.

Over the Shoulder Shot - Titanic

This is an over the shoulder shot from Titanic. It is taken from behind Rose. It's mainly used to put the audience in the position of the character so that they feel involved. It can also be used to convey threat and the feeling that someones watching. Often it's used to hide someones face and cover identity. In this case it's used for the audience to imagine they are Rose and have Jack say lovely things to them. It's a part of the charm and obsession with the film for people to imagine they're the character.

Low Angle and Point of View - Leonardo DiCaprio - Titanic

This is a low angle shot of Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic. The low positon shot from below the character conveys what we're looking at as dominant, superior and special. In this case the low angle show is from Rose's point of view as she goes down in the lifeboat to the water - leaving him behind. The signal fireworks behind him with the night sky in the background represent his fate - he is like an Angel figure.

Captain Jack Sparrow

This GIF shows a medium shot of a drunk Captain Jack Sparrow. His speech is shown in a text block above to understand what he's saying in his fast moving state. The speech is very relateable and humorous.

Leonardo DiCaprio being pretty

 

This is a close up of Leonardo DiCaprio's beautiful face in the film Titanic. It shows the contentment of his emotions closer and makes everyones heart melt. The colouring is quite neutral and dreamy. He is wearing formal, high quality clothes which is unusaual for his character; this indicates that this scene is different.
