Just Dance Video Game Advert






Language
The title shows the basic idea of the game to dance. The console logo, background image and web address are all for a targeted audience. The background image is colourful the effect created here is that young people are more likely to be interested as it catches their eye. How we read the advert is that it has a very fun and vibrant feel to the game  

Institution
The game was produced by Ubisoft and is available on multiple platforms. The original game was produced for Wii, a Nintendo brand. The game is also very successful in the game charts. There is competition and a demand for profit as there is not a lot of dance games out there therefore the is profit to be gained  

Audience
This looks like it would be targeted at an audience of mixed gender (although perhaps slightly more female?) A reasonably wide age range might apply due to family appeal and the game is fun and has a multi player which can be useful to big families. 


Representation 
The stylistic cover design makes it difficult to see race or ethnicity. Buy we can see that there are 2 females and 2 males the connotation of this that males and females are both able to play this game. This is perhaps unusual for most video games as they are either for males or females.

  1. Nimo, well done on makeing a great start to the GCSE media course. Your blog looks amazing - some really original ideas and professional formatting.

    some WWWs and EBIs to consider.

    WWW: Well done, professionally presented and formatted. A great start to Media.
    WWW: You’ve covered all of the bases and have obviously spent a considerable amount of time constructing your analysis.

    EBI: All the work was present and uploaded onto the blog.
    Action: Make sure you have (as a bare minimum) Holiday Research / LIAR analysis of poster / Fruit bowl / Camera angle – shot type analysis [check others blogs to see what you ought to have]

    EBI: Your analysis was deeper – the examiner will want to know of any inferences you could make based on the evidence that was in front of you.
    Action: FULLY explain all of your points, including why you think the audience is of a certain demographic and exactly what effect the colours/images/institution/reputation would have had on the target audience

    You might want to include typography analysis when talking about audience or language.

    Sir
