Minority Report shot-by-shot analysis

shot 1

This medium close up shot shows the audience that there are a lot of people on the hunt for Tom Cruise's character. This could suggest that they want him quite desperately and it's almost an emergency which make the whole atmosphere quite serious and tense. It also gives us a chance to see the characters' emotions, which is desperate and serious.

Shot 2

This establishing shot with Tom Cruise's character in the corner shows that the local area is quite derelict and abandoned. Also, it seems that Tom Cruise's character knows this area well so this could imply that he's had to hide there before when being chased. This could lead to further interpretation that maybe he's been sleeping rough ever since he's been a fugitive. Also, since he seems to have a clear strategy in his head, this could show that he's very experienced in running and hiding whilst in pursuit. This could elude to the fact that this is not the first time he's been chased by the authorities which could then lead the audience to think 'when has this happened before and why?' They then want to continue watching. The size of the car in this shot in comparison to Tom Cruise's character could show that he feels everything is a lot bigger than him and he feels very small being on his own, even though he seems to know what he's doing.

Shot 3
This close up shot of Tom Cruise's character's face shows his full emotions. In this shot he looks tired and a bit irritated, and it's possible he's looking at someone else which could elude to the fact that he's thinking of giving up running away because he has a certain look in his eye which could suggest sadness or despair/panic. He also has his mouth slightly open which could mean that he's about to speak or he's breathing heavily, as a result of being out of breath or scared.

media analysis

 

Language

The advert shows one particular footballer celebrating with thousands of people behind him looking at him. The slogan ‘’every goal matters’’ suggests that football is a sport where everything is serious and by missing a game or goal means you've missed out of something big. The conventions of this advert are the Barclay's premier league logo so the viewer knows it’s a football advertisement. Another convention is the Sky Sports logo which shows Sky is advertising sports channels. The Sky logo being a recognisable brand which means when they advertise it’s a recognisable advert and millions of people would have seen it. The slogan ‘’believe in better’’ makes people think everything sky do will get better and better.

Institution

Sports is a group of sports television channels operated by the satellite pay-tv company British Sky Broadcasting. Sky Sports is a commodity which is something bought and sold. A monthly subscription fee is paid. Barclay’s premier league is a well-known brand for football. Rupert Murdoch is the founder of Sky.

Audience

The target audience for this advertisement is dominantly football fans. This would be mainly for male viewers but also female viewers with an 80:20 split. The minimum age would be 25 to 60 as this is a monthly subscription, and subscribers with a good wage packet would be paying for this rather than a student who is studying. This would make Sky Sports target middle classed people.

Representation

The representation on the advert is mainly white male footballers. This suggests that mainly white players are in the Premier League or even more white footballers around the world. This may have been done due to the fact that more Europeans watch football than the Asian community as stereotypes suggest the Asian community are more into cricket. Even though women’s football in growing it’s surprising how Sky Sports haven’t got a women to represent their brand. This may also be due to the fact that there isn’t enough coverage of women’s sports on TV.
