Media assessment – Burger King Advert.
Media
assessment – Burger King Advert.
1.
Representation of men – in the BK advert the
main man is presented as a very traditional man as he is not happy with the
small portions that the restaurant is serving (chick food) and was expecting a
big meal, ready to fill him up. This advert stereotypes men as strong,
powerful, and willing to do anything for
the BK burger, Another representation of men is that they are very dramatic
with the way they are singing, protesting & pushing the car over the
bridge, in a few of the camera frames the men are in bit groups working
together to get what they all need, as it is all the same thing. the first
target audience would be for men, as the also shows men’s independence through
the remix of “i am woman.” The advert it called “manthem” – which is a neologism
for man & anthem, man mean’s, An adult human male and
anthem means, A rousing or uplifting song identified with a particular group,
body, or cause. So by joining these two words is shows how men are working
together for a big cause (the BK burger). In the advert Burger king are trying
to say that with the burger, you will gain loads of friends and power. The representation
of men show that the psychographic groups that will eat this burger are; the
explorer who is always up for a new challenge and for trying new things, and
also to some extent the reformer, who is always up for change and will be happy
to protest for what they think is important.
Representation of women – the representation of
women is a slightly negative one, as there are not many women in the advert and
none of them have important roles they are also dressed in short clothes,
dresses and pink, cheerleading outfits, being used as eye candy for them men
while they are eating there BK burgers, the cheerleading outfit suggest that
the women are only there to support the men and cheer them on, this could have
a negative effect on the female customers because of the male dominance in the
advert, but on the other hand some women may think that if men are good enough
to eat this burger then why can’t they ? also they postmodernism may not be offencive cos the
sterotype is exaggerated- not finished.

Miss Morris's Comments
Excellent work Molly, you have use appropriate images to
clearly communicate your character's personality.
Target - use fades and effects on your images to create a
collage effect. This will help create an overall image rather than having
separate images
D-
From Miss Morris
Brilliant work Molly, you have clearly identified
appropriate locations, explained why they would be suitable and identified
health and safety issues. You have also offered some solutions to the safety
issues you have identified.
Target – describe the specific details in the location that
will suit your mockumentary. This will help show a detailed understanding of
what you want to create and how you are planning on achieving this.
M
Excellent work Molly, you have asked questionnaires about
the demographic profile of your target audience and presented your results
using graphs. You have also made some conclusions based on your data!
Target – ask questions that relate to the mockumentary so
you can make decisions based on your understanding of your audiences likes and
dislikes.

My presentation evaluation
My Presentation
Evaluation.
My presentation was a pitch for our mockumentaries, it
included a short intro about the 1st episode, the target audience, a
recce. Story board(1st scene only), the main character profiles and treatment.
The role that I played was making the target audience and explaining it to the
class, from the peer assessment sheets I received my strong points were: “speaking clearly and communicating her ideas”
“projecting her voice and working as a team” and “describing her ideas effectively.”
During the presentation I felt that I could
confidently deliver my part of the presentation as I had memorised what I was meant
to say, that it what I was most proud of in my presentation. i was good at speaking clearly and loudly because
I am a loud person anyway, so that was not hard, I was good at keeping eye
contact because I had memorised my lines so I didn’t not need to look down at
them which would’ve broke my eye contact with the audience. One of my
weaknesses during my speaking part was ( also what the peer assessment sheets
said) “to not lean on the table, and stand straight” “to not get distracted) I think this happened because I was very tired
as I did not get much sleep that night. In the future to improve I need to
stand up straight and look more professional, I can do this by remembering that
I am being watched that my body language can affect my presentation positively and
negatively.
- i had no peer assesment on my work, but miss morris said it to me.
