show what they do and why they are doing it play on emotions eg sympathy  

McMillan cancer support, Oxfam, wwf, dirty water and poor sanitation 

typical things in a charity adverts

the adverts typically contain sad music all the way through as well as normally featuring either a child or animals to represent innocence, they will also sometimes try to shock you with horrific imagery to surprise you such as the dogs in the cages. they will normally at the end include all of their information such as websites logos and what they do and plan to do.

shelter

2011 campaign direct address to target everyone looking art the poster, they are just a normal person which is meant to humanize her as it wouldn't have the same affect if it was a celebrity. it features all of its information at the bottom. Its big red tag line of "But where will we live?" is meant to make you fell the same sense of dread and confusion that a homeless person. 'we' implies that she may be a mother or partner making it seem that a child may end up on the street scaring the audience

1.the colour scheme of dark red across the screen symbolizes danger 
2.the faces of confused people and everyday people to make you connect with them which would be 3.difficult if they were a celebrity
4.close up to show emotion
5.positioning the font across their faces to show their first reaction to homelessness
6.the logo has a roof arch over the H to make you think of a house and how easy it is to have that sort of stability





shelter is a UK based housing and homelessness charity. Due to the fact that they are a charity they have a lot less money to spend on advertising. The targets for the charity are liberal reformers and carers, this is because the usual left wingers will be more likely to donate and want change and will be more caring to others.
the main objective of then campaign was to direct people in need and cautious people to either use the charities services and help or to donate to help the charity reach more people.

They used Audience Identification by using ordinary people rather than celebrities to allow the viewers to relate to the advert in what is called Social realism.
In 2008 their was a major economic crash which lead to many people losing their jobs and the institution of Cameron's conservative party coming into power. A party which typically did not donate to lower ends of the economy. 

Shelter are using online marketing on social media in order to reach people on the verge of homelessness.
The advert was made by advertising agency Amplify who specialized in non traditional ads
amplify normally worked with richer companies like Nike and Sony and actually offered to provide Shelters advertising for free.
This gave Amplify good publicity and gave shelter free marketing so they were able to spend money elsewhere.

Media Language

using social realism
big bold sans serif text
gender diversity (showing that homelessness can happen to anyone)

Panel 1 uses a rhetorical question to demonstrate the confusing you would feel and the impact of you losing your job. contacting the shelter could help prevent people becoming homeless.

Panel 2 is about a young man with a landlord problem and is meant to represent the problem with housing in the current market.

Panel 3 focuses on a young woman with a debt problem which shows a problem many young people face at a young age.

 3 key points

Jon Favreau chose to make the live action movie in CGI as he thought that travelling to the Indian jungle was impractical and wouldn't have the intended "dream-like"quality

Wanted to test the limits of the new technology and defended this by comparing it to Oscar winner Life of Pi and highest grossing movie of all time Avatar

Uses a star studded cast in order to promote the movie with actors like |Bill Murray, Ben Kinglsy, Christopher Walken, Idreas Elba and Scarlett Johansson

 the two competing companies are using remakes of old classics in order to try and attract the largest audience to them over they're competitors and using actors as the driving force behind the movies.

intrepid is a sports drink which is focused on doing more and keeping motivated shown in its slogan "do more, do better"

uses Virgil Van Dijk a well known sports star who has played for several teams with varying level of success. I have included his less memorable teams like Celtic and Southampton before including a large image of him in his current teams strip Liverpool to which he had recently won the premier league and champions league. i chose him because it represents a drive to try and endure until you succeed like Van Dijk did. i planned to make the bottle sharp red and black to be eye catching and to relate to the image of Van Dijk to the right of the bottle in his red Liverpool shirt
