The Music video entertains its audience this is because it is a video and it has a catchy song to it, however the audience that the music video targets its mainly female audience as it is a female singer talking about how she is heartbroken. The audience would purchase the music within a concert or through Spotify or an album.
AGILE:
Age - 13 and over
Gender - Both Genders
Interests: Breakup
Location: Global
Ethnicity: All
Agile Summary:
The reason why I have chosen the age appropriation to be 13 and over is because that is when a child hit becoming a teenager and develops feelings in romantic forms as well as sexual forms, this would mean that a 13-year-old would be able to understand the song and understand the singers' emotions and could also possibly be able to relate to the song. I have chosen both gender as both genders can possibly feel the same emotions that are mentioned within the song after a breakup the location is global as a breakup could be experienced globally and the song was made for all ethnicities.
Codes and Conventions:
- The Music promo is a breakup music video; the audience would expect a sad girl singing her emotions out. However, in the music video the singer Tate McRae is walking towards the camera this is one convention that is used in the music video we can see this in 0:04, throughout the music video she is walking towards the camera, and it is a low angle shot. The low angle shot allows the audience to see how the singer McRae is feeling and her emotions to singing the song.
Analysis -
The representation of the artist has been shown in the music video, we can denote this throughout the music video where Tate McRae expresses her emotions through the song. The song connotes the damage a person can do within a relationship we can see this in the time frame of 0:40. The use of McRae's expressions allows the audience to understand that this song is made with the purpose of understanding grief and sadness. The Audience have also been able to understand a narrative meaning within the song this has been displayed through her song lyrics which have been anchored throughout her whole music video. McRae is the only artist within her music video this allows the audience to understand the message of after a breakup you will be alone within your own sadness and grief. The songs title is a literal interpretation of the music video.

In the trailer we can also see the use of sfx during 1:39, the use of the sfx has been portrayed through a skintag with a cross on it which has appeared on Frenchie's neck. The Trailer appeals to the audience through its genre of being a horror film, the film trailer is made to attract horror fans and catch their attention.

The purpose behind this show is to get a laugh out of it so that audience can have a bit of a laugh.
AGILE:
Age - 13 and over
Gender - Both Genders
Interests: Comedy
Location: Globally
Ethnicity: Majority Asians/ All
Agile Summary:
The age appropriation for this would be 13 and over this is because citizen khan is a comedy film which does include harsh topics; however, a 13-year-old would be suitable enough to be able to understand the comedy. The comedy show is made for both genders to be able o watch and enjoy and it is made for all global people to be able to view on BBC iPlayer, the show mainly attracts Asians as it is played by Asians characters however everyone can also watch and enjoy it.
Codes and Conventions:
Citizen Khan is a comedy film which allows the audience to have a laugh. The show would make audiences think that Mr Khan and Nani are having an argument from the front cover of the show. However, in the show Mr Khan is checking if Nani is alive or dead when she is taking a nap, Mr khan uses a broom to do this, the convention used here is the camera angles and the close ups of Mr Khan's facial expressions we can see this in 0:19 after he gets scared to touch Nanis hands. Another use of convention would be the props being used such as the broom which is used at 0:33, to wake Nani up. The show would allow the audience to be able to have a laugh as Mr Khan can be seen as afraid to wake up his own mother-in-law.
Analysis-
The Representation that has been used in Citizen khan is the use of comedy. The use of comedy has been portrayed through many angles in the show in the small clip above we can see that Mr Khan has gone to wake up his mother-in-law with a broomstick to see if she is alive or not. In 0:19 the use of Khan's facial expression connotes that he is a comedian and that he is shocked and scared to wake up Nani up with a broomstick, this allows the audience to have a laugh as in reality no one would wake up an old person with a broomstick. The actors have also managed to connote their expressions and emotions within the clip, and this allows the audience to be able to understand the scenario happening within that scene. The clip denotates that it is a comedy made show and it is all for the audience to be able to have a laugh. The title however does not connote anything to do with the show apart from allowing the audience to understand that the show is based on a citizen called Mr Khan, this may confuse the audience as into what the show is about, however after watching the show the audience will be able to denote that the show is a comedy-based show on Mr Khan and his family.

Although it is impossible for the elements to mix in the film trailer, we can see that elements can mix this can be seen in 1:57, water eats fire. The purpose of this film trailer is to allow the audience to understand that nothing can stop you if you really want it. Another purpose of the film trailer is to educate young children on their emotions and how they should be able to express their emotions without being scared of anything. The film was purchased by many children and families, the film made a good amount of profit from this film being published in cinemas. It is a very entertaining film, and it allows the audience to see a mix of both fire and water, the purpose is to allow the audience to be ambitious and not let anybody stop them from chasing their own dreams or chasing what makes them happy, we can see this in the film at 1:48.

Ethnicity: All
Agile Summary:
The age appropriation for the elemental film is PG as some parents may not approve however the film is originally based on children 5 and over. The film is made for both genders and is a comedy and child friendly film which is made global and for all ethnicities.
Codes and Conventions:
In Elemental the use of conventions can be seen through editing, sound and sfx. This can all be seen throughout the trailer within the use of animation, the use of sfx has been used throughout the whole trailer allowing the audience to be engaged, we can also see the use of sfx during 0:30 with the fireworks and fire girl driving on her motorbike.

The sound used throughout the trailer would be the music as it is catchy and allows the audience to also be engaged through sound. The conventions allow the audience to want to watch the film and explore new emotions by watching this film.
Analysis-
The representation shown within Elemental Pixar film, is how anything is possible if you want it to be. The phrase 'Anything is possible if you want it to be' comes from the film itself, the film shows its audience how both fire and water can mix, however in reality both fire and water cannot mix because water burns out fire. In the trailer we can see that it has also connoted you should be able to live within your dreams we can see this in 1:47 when fire girl talks to her reflections and speaks about how she never gets to do what she dreams off. This allows the audience to also be able to express their emotions and understand that you should follow your dreams, not let anybody stop you from following your dreams.
One Tv Ident: ' CBeebies Ident'
The CBeebies ident is made to inform the children that television time is over and that is now time for bed. The purpose of this is to give the children a pre-warning that now the bedtime channels will be screening and that they should start getting ready for bed. The ident educates children on their bedtime and what time screening will be finished, the ident also entertains young children as it is animated and keeps the children focused on the television. The ident is a child friendly ident we can see this with the little CBeebies men going to sleep with a bedtime story.
AGILE:
Age - 4+
Gender - Both Genders
Interests: Comedy and Children Friendly
Location: Globally
Ethnicity: All
Agile Summary:
The age appropriation for the CBeebies ident is 4+ this is because this is a children programme and it is a bedtime ident, this means that all kids will understand what time it is and recognise that it is bedtime, and no shows will be hosting.
Codes and Conventions:
The use of conventions which have been used in the CBeebies ident would be the editing and the sounds, the sound is a soft melody tune which allows the young children to calm down and release their energy into bedtime. The editing can be seen through the little CBeebies men jumping around and reading a book we can see this during 0:06. The use of their facial expressions also allows the audience to understand that they are tired now and it is time for bedtime.
Analysis-
The representation shown within the CBeebies Ident for bedtime, connotes how show time is ended and it's time for bed now. The Ident is made to ensure younger children know that all shows are not airing anymore and that is time for bed, the ident uses little CBeebies characters to show that they are reading a book and that they are tired and have jumped onto the moon to go sleep now, the use of the moon also represents how it is time to go sleep.
Concluding Paragraph-
In my opinion the trailer for The Nun 2, is the best this is because the trailer has many affects which allows the target audience to be engaged, the tailer also connotes and denotes the purpose of the film and explains the film in detail. The use of time frames has also been included to show which parts of the film stand out. My Favourite part of the trailer from The Nun 2 was the close camera angles of when Frenchie got possessed in 0:07, the use of the close camera angle gives the audience a scare and gets the audience engaged into watching the film.
However, the visual I think that could of been better was the CBeebies ident for children bedtime, this is because it is very bland, and it does not really make young children want to go sleep. They could have added more of a substile soothing voice in the background along with a small story to allow young children to soother themselves to sleep.
