Minority Report Shot-by-Shot Analysis



Medium close up introducing protagonists threat. This close up shows all the police forces who are about to target and confront Tom Cruise. The grim look on the cops signify that they're up to no good or potentially going to harm the protagonist. Also the amount of cops will put the viewer in tension as Tom as the disadvantages in number.



The wide shot shows the area that the hero will run through. The car will act as an obstacle for the hero to overcome as he attempts to run away from the cops. The protagonist to the right also shows that the wide shot is a little preview to where Tom has to go through. This could also put the viewer in suspense as to how he'll try to escape from a sort of narrow gap between the car and the wall.



This close up would normally be associated with dialogue or to show emotion from a character. These close ups also put Tom in a tight situation where he has what seems to be no other form of escape. The close up also shows the overall background or area that Tom is stuck in.

Fruit Bowl Challenge


The colour pallet I used is the US Woodland camouflage which is a very common colour scheme in the US Army. This camouflage has a familiar look to the Urban colour pallet but has a nature colour scheme to the fruits. The colour comprises of secondary colours which make it different compared to the standard colours we're used to with the original fruits which mainly was made up of primary colours.

This colour pallet I used is the vibrant colour pallet which is a bright colour scheme for the picture. This colour pallet is familiar to the standard colours the fruits would normally be. The colour scheme is also using the colours from the background which had a good variety of colours.

Media Analysis: Guardians of the Galaxy ad

Language
The key convention that tells the audience that this is an advert is the promotion of the date of release highlighted at the bottom to attract the attention of the audience of when the movie may come out. Another convention could be the names of the actors at the top so fans of the actors displayed on the photo for instance will automatically recognise them and would like to watch the film.Also the statement "from the studio that brought you avengers" will make people think this movie will be a well produced film knowing that Avengers was one of the most grossed film of all time placed in 3rd behind Titanic and Avatar which could make people think that the film will have high expectations. The explosions behind the actors could indicate that the film will overall be an action film. Also the main characters in front of the explosive background suggests these characters are more likely to be destructive people.

Institution
Marvel Studios are the producers for the film and are competing against DC's quality. Marvel is a big company that makes content related to heroes and science fiction. "In Summer 2014" was supposed to imply they were competing against DC's Batman v Superman Dawn of justice which has been postponed to 2016.

Audience
The target audience is mainly Marvel fans and specifically Guardians of the Galaxy fans who have been waiting for the team to be in a feature length film. This is also targeted to Marvel Cinematic Universe fans who are restrained in the live action story of the heroes instead of the comics which is still in relation to the films. The age would on average be a 12+ mainly male (70%M/30%F). This is mainly due to the action genre the marvel films always present in their action scenes. The targeted demo-graph is mainly males at the age of 12+ who are marvel or are into the action genre.

Representation
The film is mainly targeted at males due to the fact that most of the team is male. Also the fact that Dave Bautista who is an inactive WWE Wrestler under the alias of Batista in the ring could branch out fans of this memorable wrestler into action. This could also rival to DC's Black Adam who will be casted by Dwayne Johnson who is also an inactive WWE wrestler.
