The film that I have chosen to analyse is:

The Godfather Part 1 (1972)

The Godfather Part 1 trailer

The genre of this film is it is a 1972 film set in the 1940's and it features a Italian family living in America. The genre is that it is a drama/ gangster film showing some of the consequences of being in the Mafia.

The audience for this film would have been people that are older than 18 to about 40 years old. The reason for this is because the initial film was an 18+ because of violent themes and scenes in the film but over the years younger people have seen this film even though they weren't supposed to. Males were more likely to see this film because of the plot and storyline. This was seen as a male dominated plot as men were interested in guns and bloody scenes than women at the time but some women will have seen this film as well.

The platforms that you will have originally seen this film would have been the cinema but over the years DVDs were made and this is still shown on channels like ITV 4 on late nights. You even have the choice to stream this film on TV services like Netflix. Another option would be to download this film illegally which isn't ideal but it still happens today buy lots of people. You can also find clips on YouTube but not the entire film.

The music video that I have chosen for textual analysis is:

Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

The theme for this music song is motivation. This is an Indie song and the genre is post-grunge           .

The audience for this film would be teenagers aged 13-16. However people that heard this song when it first came out may still listen to it today. The reason is not old people will want to listen to really loud music and kids don't want to listen to a kind of negative song even if the message is a positive one. Males will listen to this more than women because the genre isn't popular with women. The spilt would be 60% male and 40% female because there is no reason that women can't listen to this song but the lyrics are more directed towards male viewers. Since the target audience is young mobile phones and tablets would be used to watch / listen to this music video.

Some platforms that you would see this on would be: YouTube, music channels on TV, radio and from other people's phones if they have it saved onto their device or if they are streaming it from Spotify.

The radio advert that I chose to analyse is:

Cadbury Gorilla Advert

The henre for this advert is comedy because they want you to remember the advert after some time and one way to do that is to add a comedic element to the advert.

The audience for this advert would be little kids aged 7-12 and even some teenagers. I chose this age group because it is relevant to the advert and not many adults/ parents would watch it as much as kids.

The platforms that you would see this on would be a TV because during commercials if you are on a kids channel (cartoons) they are more likely to play this. They wouldn't show this advert on BBC parliament.












This is the HSBC logo that I created. The word I have chosen is pressure and I have used three different pictures to represent scenarios where a person may feel pressure by what they are doing or what someone else is doing to them. It also includes the HSBC logo along with its slogan 'The world's local bank'. I used red text for two reasons: One it would stand out in the picture and it would match the colour of the HSBC logo. The first picture is a sportsman taking the game winning shot in basketball. The second image shows doctors performing surgery on a person and the final image shows a student being under mental pressure from exams. These are all different types of pressure but all mean the same thing/ have the same message.
