3 types of screen shot useful in a movie scene



This is a medium close up shot showing what seems to be a troop of future police officers in pursuit for someone who may be dangerous and you can tell that from seeing there is more than one cop on the scene so this may show the next scene might be a bit physical. This type of shot comes in handy when you want to see what is going on like if you were looming at them yourself which it looks like how the picture is taken so you ca see most of the scene taking place.





This is a wide shot and from looking at it you can define two men in the picture on the hood of an old, rusty and decaying car toppling over each over to get enough balance to stay up and hold the other one down but as you can se the situation is out of control and the other cops behind them cant seem to reach them to stop the vigilantly and rescue the cop from the situation. This scene is perfect for using wide shot because you can see the action that is happening in this intense scene and where this chase for this mysterious man is taking place.





this type of shot is a close up and as you can tell the man is worried and this type of shot is used in scenes to show how the character is feeling and what type of characteristics they have and i  this case you cant this man is feeling tired and wondering what his next move shall be and he might even be scanning for any escape routes he can find in his place he is at.

10 types of pictures


This is a wide shot and this type of shot is there to mainly set the scene of where the story or thing you are doing is taking place or when you are on a news scene.


This picture is taken from  a high angle to portray the person in the picture as being small, weak and vulnerable.





This picture is taken from a low angle to portray the person in the picture as being big and strong and drunk with power.



This shot is a medium close up and this type of shot is used to show what type of person the character is and what type of characteristics they have.



This is a close up shot and this type of shot is used for how the expressions on the face show how the character is feeling.


                                                                              This is an over the shoulder shot. This shows that that a male character may be talking or communicating in some way and type way he is staring may suggest this is a tense scene and something serious may happen.



This is called a medium shot and in this shot you can tell a fight is taking place and the scene is fierce and severe. This type of shot is usually used to show an action someone is taking.



This is an extreme close up shot and this kind of shot is normally also to tell how the character is feeling by looking into there eyes.

Advert Liar





Language: The first key convention that tells you this is an advert is the logo in the bottom right hand corner. The slogan above saying "your time has come" gets the audience concerned and makes them think that the game "NBA2K15" is made for them so that they should play it rather then rival sports games like Fifa 15. one of the key images of the advert is the amazing NBA superstar Kevin Durant. This famous athlete was chosen to show to fans that this game is actually sponsored and can let you play as these masters of basketball. The light and colours give the effect that you can not know what is actually happening and be there unless you buy the game so you can see everything in action rather then not buying it at all and just wondering what it is like outside the NBA world. The image of Kevin Durant creates an atmosphere that he is what is keeping everything in balance.


Institution: The major institution behind this advert is NBA (National Basketball Association) an basketball league that sets up basketball matches in american teams and also Microsoft
a multinational corporation that develops, manufactures, licenses, supports and sells computer software, consumer electronics and personal computers and services. The words "your time has come" may suggest that these inspiring words are trying to get you in a really good mood to play this came which may also suggest that there is a rival sports game and is challenging them and the quality of the sports game compared to this one.


Audience: The target for this audience is mainly basketball fans or maybe sports fans in general. NBA2K15 producers will also be targeting Fifa 15 fans/players by suggesting  new gaming features appearing in the upcoming game. The gender who are fans of this type of thing may be as much as 80% male and 20% female. the age range would be wide but it is probably focused on the age group of 8 to 20. Due to NBA being the most popular in American and also in England, the advert will be aimed at kids to teens looking to be future basketball stars or people who are just into basketball but are not thinking about having it as a career.


Representation: The representation on this advert is exclusively black and male. This is  quite surprising considering the NBA has an enormous amount of white players and you'd expect them to be featured on an advert like this. Even though it is not surprising an advert for NBA league (a male league) is dominated by male players, it does serve to highlight the important media debate regarding the lack of presentation for women's sport.There is very little TV coverage of women's sport outside of the Olympics and this advert only serves to emphasise that the vast majority of money and coverage is concentrated on male athletes.
