Minority Report shot-by-shot analysis

This is a medium close up shot (MCU) where there are a couple of officers who look like they have found culprit and the culprit is trying to run away. I assume that the person they are trying to catch is powerful as there are several cops to catch one culprit. 

This a wide shot (WS). There is  very cold and rusted car which looks like it was crashed. Also there is a human which looks like he was escaping some cops. From the figure of the humans body it looks like the he is trapped. We can see what seems to be some sort of garage where there are old nd rusty cars stored.

This is a close up (CU). We notice that he is standing to the side as if looking at someone walk away from him because they were in a fight. This screenshot suggests that he is about to say something or he about to take a deep breath as he was in a fight.

Media Analysis

Language: This is an advert by Nike as you can see the logo of that brand. This is a type of shoe which is advertised by Nike. The background image is of Neymar Jr, who is a professional football player, wearing the new hypervenoms football shoe breed. The genre of the advert are football players and lovers. The phrase "A new breed of attack" shows that Nike have released other football shoes. 

Institution: This product is produced by the brand "Nike" and most footballer wear the shoes. They also look epic on the Nike TV commercials. The shoes competitors could be the predators produced by the brand "Adidas" which are also very good but not most footballers wear them. Footballers prefer to wear the hypervenoms over the predators.

Audience: The target audience are people who watch football a lot and who are willing to but the shoes. It would be 75% boys and 25% girls because girls don't watch football or play football as much as men do and they wouldn't be interested in buying the shoe. The age range would be most likely concentrated in the 11-25 age bracket. Due to Nike being a expensive brand, the advert will be aimed at largely middle-class and wealthy people.

Representation: The representation of this advert is that there is no woman in the picture as there are loads of female football players. More people watch male football as they think the males are better in football then the females. Also more males wear the footwear then females as more were sold to males then females.

Funny news story: Woman Gives Birth Outside Of Primark

2) For each story above, explain WHY you chose that particular story and not something else. Why would it interest a Greenford audience? 
Greenford news story: We chose this story because it is going to put a lot pressure on year nines as they are going to be the oldest in school uniform.
National news story: We chose this story because We chose this story because this proves to the younger years how it's not safe to speak to strangers at night, because you notice the violent streak in them when they lash out. 
London news story: We chose this story because it shows how violent young people are and how stupid they act.
Sports news story: We chose this story because We chose this story because the whole globe is linked by the World Cup, also the World Cup has dominated the media world. 
Funny news story: We chose this story because its not normal to give birth to a baby outside primark.

3) What order did you broadcast the stories in? Why did you place the stories in that order?

1. National News Story
2. Greenford News Story
3. Sports News Story
4. London News Story
5. Funny News Story

4) How did you make sure the script was the right length? We used a stop watch from a phone to see if it was the right length.

5) How did you make sure each story was clear and easy to understand? I just spoke in clear and in a load voice. 

6) How did you make sure the broadcast was professional? I first introduced myself and I was looking at the camera when i wasn't looking at the scrip as i learnt a bit of it by heart.

7) What was your specific role in the group? I was the director.

8) Rate your group’s ability to work collaboratively out of 5 (1=poor, 5=excellent)I would say 4.

9) How could your group have worked more effectively as a team? I think we should have only talked about the work because we didn't have enough time to finish our tasks.

10) Finally, what would you have done differently if you were given the opportunity to do this again? I would log in a computer and look for news with my group rather then me having to share a computer as having one computer each is more efficient then sharing.
