1) Plan your main flash - this is the main cover story that links to your central image.

It has to be something like 'young and independant' as a main flash

2) Plan the image you will need for the cover - model, costume, make-up, lighting etc. At this point, simply describe the image you need to capture.

I want it to be as simple as possible; a long shot of a women, sitting on a chair, being confident. I want to Focus on feminism and every day problems. The makeup should be light, the lighting from every side, with a simple color behind.

Videogames: Tomb Raider Anniversary

Tomb Raider Anniversary: blog tasks Language and Audience Analyse the game cover for Tomb Raider Anniversary (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's definitely adventurous, action, mystic. The outfit worn by Lara Croft is a hint, the weapons holsters coupled with the cargo shorts and blue top will suggest that it's an adventure game, but only because of the genre conventions already developed for games like this, if you didn't know the conventions before, chances are it might have gone over your head.I think the colour scheme represents the best adventure genre through the range of colours, such as brown and gold, which have connotations of mystery and riches, as well as being a key element of colour lighting, as it relates to elements of intertextuality that appear in Indiana Jones films. 2) How does the pose and costume of the character appeal to primarily male audiences?

Narrative in advertising

1) How does the advert use narrative? Apply at least three narrative theories to the text, making specific reference to specific shots or key scenes in the advert.

It shows the audience that no metter if you're a celebrity or not, you can still make it to the top

Language Analyse the game cover for Metroid Prime 2: Echoes (above). 1) How does the cover communicate the genre of the game? It's very Si-Fi, a lot of cold colours, suggesting that the game will contain a lot of adventure/action narrative. The cover often expresses the genre through the character holding a weapon which is a prop, conveying the theme of action and adventure. 2) What does the cover suggest regarding gameplay and audience pleasures? Escapism - the game is si-fi, a totally different world- the audience can divert from reality. Multiplayer - playing with other people. 3) Does the cover sexualise the character of Samus Aran? Why/why not? Costuming does not concentrate on her type of body; however, it can be argued that it accentuates her curves in some respects, which identifies her as a
