 1) Narrative & Genre The prime focus of the video seems to be about the mascara. Could have connotations as a necessity for beauty or glamour. Characters became more "appealing" once they use the mascara. 2)Cinematography A lot of long shots/medium shots with few close ups (When they use the mascara). The excessive use of those shots gives the environment (a new york city apartment) an importance. There were a few tilts on the mascara. 3) Mise-en-Scene (Costume & props) The mascara is the main prop with it having a lot of significance on the progression of the narrative as well. Using it caused the 2 actors to "transform" into a golden version of themselves Once they used the mascara they change into golden clothes. 4) Mise-en-Scene (Actors, setting, lighting and colour)  It takes place in a New York city apartment (Seems like an expensive one). One of the actors is called Manny Gutierrez and is an openly gay youtuber who creates make up videos. The other i...

 1) The Nike advert uses narrative throughout its video to make itself more engaging and admirable to the audience.

 1) The magazine starts off with the topic of mens health's success within the magazine industry. They praise the work produced from there editorial aspects to there prime focus on the well being and nutritional features that they discuss. 2) The introductions image has a bulky man which does initially promote the hyper masculine ideals that they believe there audience have. However the next page has the magazine talking about issues the males may have been suffering (e.g. Fitness, well being etc). The magazine primarily represents masculinity as a dependency on these products to improve. 3) Print statistics of Mens health in comparison to GQ and EQ. Mens health dominates all of the sections (Circulation total ABC readers, readership of total men, readership of ABC1 men and readership of AB men).

 1)  WWW: Fairly solid answers throughout, concisely written.                                                                            EBI: More detailed, comprehensive responses needed especially with regard to textual analysis and providing examples. 2) Points for the first three questions The typography on the advert is all Sans serif. Offering connotations of a more youthful modern brand especially when when the campaign encourages the audience to make this there first Swiss watch. Swiss eagle: Has an emphasis on youth. The advert seems to simultaneously be representative of 21st century masculinity while also nodding to traditional male dominance. Score Hair Cream: hyper masculine view/emphasis on traditional hegemonic ideals.  The videos setting explicitly connects to the socia...
