Week 17Introduction to Unit 1 Section A: Thinking about the Media – Investigating Print Advertising

Starter ActivityCan you think of any print based adverts that stand out in your mind?

Find an example online

British or American Brands• In this module we can use British or American brands but remember which one is which

What could a print advert include?Technical Codes/Symbolic Codes

What do you think a technical element is?

What do you think a symbolic meaning could be?

What is this Technically/Symbolically

Definitions Technical Code – What something in an

image technically is. This could be a character or a prop, a colour choice, language used, a camera shot or angle.

Symbolic Code – What the meaning or interpretation behind an image might be. Such as the colour red representing danger, anger or passion, or a close up shot being used to show a characters emotion.

Class Activity – Omega

What can we get from these print adverts?

Mini Cooper

Signifier/Signified These points are also sometimes called

Signifiers & Signified.

Signifier – The connotation refers to the literal meaning of something

Signified The denotation refers to the associations that are connected to something or the emotional suggestions related to it

Example: A snake is a reptile/A snake is evil.

It is worth knowing these in case they are used in your exam.

Group Activity Get into groups of 3

Choose a new poster or billboard ad between your group

Save the image to a powerpoint and begin analysing the poster on both its technical and symbolic elements

Get ready to present your analysis to the rest of the class

Group Activity – Peer Assessment Choose another groups presentation

What was good about it?

What could have made it even better?

Write down your thoughts on a separate piece of paper so they can add it to their note books

Week 18Introducing semiotic language, developing skills of analysing and deconstructing Print Advertising

Red Pen/Green Pen 10 min Activity

Read through the notes I have made in your books

I have asked most of you to finish up James Bond Poster analysis in green

Also can you fill in the technical/symbolic codes table for the GUCCI poster we discussed last lesson in green

Your car poster should be ready to stick in

Learning ObjectiveContinue learning essential terminology and analysing skills needed for your upcoming exam

Reminder Activity

What films or TV have you watched since last lesson?

Find the poster online and analyse it in regards to technical & symbolic codes on a new blank double page in your books

Email me the poster so I can print it for your next lesson

Genre/Sub-Genre/Hybrid Genre

Recap: What do we mean by genre?

So what could sub-genre and hybrid genre mean?

Genre/Sub-Genre/Hybrid Genre Sub-genre: a category that is a

subdivision of a larger genre Example: Zombie films are a sub-

genre of horror

Hybrid genre – 2 or more genre types being represented in the same product

Example: A rom-com using genre elements from romantic films as well as comedy films

Can you think of 2 other examples for both sub genre & hybrid genres

Audience Responses - Dominant/Oppositional/Negotiated Readings What do you think we mean that audiences

can have different responses to a text?

Have you ever had a different opinion about the meaning of a media product from one of your family or friends?

What could be meant by the terms negotiated, preferred & oppositional?

Audience Responses - Dominant

A dominant response is where the audience interprets the text as closely to the way in which the producer of the text intended.

Example - If you were a nurse you may well agree with the situations and narratives addressed in Casualty because they are within your breadth of experience.

Audience Responses – Oppositional An oppositional response is where the user

of the text finds themselves in conflict with the text itself due to their beliefs or experiences.

For example, a narrative in a soap opera that views a woman who is having an affair sympathetically could encourage a resistant reading in a person due to their cultural or religious beliefs.

Audience Responses - Negotiated

A negotiated response is where the audience goes through some sort of negotiation with themselves to allow them to accept the way in which the text is presented.

You may agree with some elements of the text and disagree with others. This may mean the way in which you are positioned in a film where you are asked to empathise with a character you do not like, yet you are enjoying the film generally.

ActivityWrite down an example

of TV programmes for each where you think you have a:

Preferred ResponseOppositional ResponseNegotiated Response

Iconography Iconography relates to what we expect

to see within a certain genre type. This could be types of character, locations, props or costumes.

What iconography would you expect to see in:

A horror film?A sci-fi film?A western?

Advertising Agencies & Clients Often the company who makes

a product hire another company to make their adverts for them

Why do you think a client would use an advertising agency to make their adverts for them instead of doing it themselves?

What could be the benefits or possible problems in using an advertising agency?

Barnardos Ad

On the next slide you will be shown an advert for the charity Barnardos

What is the medium? Who are the target

audience? What is the dominant

or preferred reading and could there be a oppositional reading?

marketing be a good thing for a company to use?

Above/Below the Line Marketing

approaches to promotion that are open to organisations. Above-the-line promotions use mass media methods.

This type of promotion focuses on advertising to a large audience. It includes print, online media, television and cinema advertising.

Below the Line Marketing Below-the-line methods are very

specific, memorable activities focused on targeted groups of consumers. They are under the control of the organisation. The purpose of these activities has been to develop the brand by creating awareness and building a brand profile. They include:

sponsorship sales promotions public relations personal selling direct marketing

characters where Dis-equilibrium – Where something

happens and the characters have to deal with the situation and often try and fix it

New eqilibrium – Everything is restored back to the way it was or in a better place than when it started

certain style of narrative?
