GTA IV
LANGUAGE: The language in this advert is intended to persuade the market to buy this game. The phrase 'episodes from liberty city' refers to the older games to show it is a big game that has been running for possibly years.
INSTITUTION : The institution of this game is rock star north. Rock star north aims to sell this game before its release date so that sales are guaranteed.
TARGET AUDIENCE: This game is aimed at teenagers and young adults who enjoy playing violent games. I know this because the poster for this game has pictures of a gunman which represents that there will be shooting and possible gangs.
REPRESENTATION: In the printed ad above an animated male character is presented as a troublesome person who commits alot of crimes as he is placed on a motor cycle which looks like it i driving very fast away from someone. In the other shots on the printed ad above you can see a female animated character with a bottle of alcohol beverage in her hand and a bit of cleavage showing. This shows that the game is for males and females over the age of 18 as it gives off a bit of a sex appeal. I think the way how the female has been presented is a bit stereotypical as not all females are like this , i think it could give off the wrong image for females leaving young males with the wrong idea.

ReplyDeleteEBI: Your language section needs work - when analysing media language you need to pick out the key conventions - title, logo, image etc. and explain how they make it an advert.
LR: Go back to that paragraph and improve it.
