Low angle: This shot helps to make characters look big and strong which helps to show who is more powerful and in this case is the bullies who are facing the victim.
Over the shoulder: This shot helps to show the conversation between characters and in this shot you can see two bullies who are verbally abusing its victim.
Establishing shot: This is so the audience can see the scene/setting.
The audience would know where they are as you can see that the bullies have approached the victim behind a building, so no one can see.

One of the bullies is laughing at the victim. The audience would almost feel as if the character was pointing at the audience.
Over the shoulder and Medium.
The victim is being punched on the face by the bully which helps to show the impact on the victim.

Key Concepts
Language:
The tittle and packaging of the game both create an effect into get people to buy the game because the packaging has a very well respected talented player on the cover so people will know that this game is the best and the title Join the Fifa 13 club also has an effect into getting people buying the game as its purposely done so people would want to know what its like joining the community of Fifa. The background does well to have an effect on people to buy the game because it has world class players such as Messi, Benzema and Hart playing with ordinary players which encourages the public to join in.The slogan also has the same colours as the title which would suggest that its there theme which includes the colours of white and red. The release date was on the 17/09/2013 which is stated in the advert to inform people and increase revenue in pre orders.The website is EAsports.com/Jointheclub which is easy to remember so that people will go and the join the club bit suggests that you are about to be apart of the Fifa community.The title is located at the top left so everyone is able to see it when there watching this advert on tv.

Audience:
The genre of this game is sports so this game is applicable to ages over 3 years however the ages that play this game the most are from 7-24 because when your in primary school at the age of 7 their friends will play it and encourage other children who would possibly talk about in school and this does apply to teenagers aswell in high school up to 16. People that are aged 17-24 have a hobby of playing video games and generally play sports games like Fifa with their friends in competition. Males are more dominant in playing this game because on the advert there is no females and all females so the percentage ratio would be 80% male and 20% female
Representation:
The representation of the cover shows one professional football player and there is the stadium in the background which encourages people to buy the game and there is no female professional football players so this indicates that this game is more male dominant.

HSBC Adverts.
This is the first advert I made for HSBC in Media. The first view shows that the house has somewhere for you to stay, the second view explains someone dream house and the last image shows how a burglar would see your house.
This the second advert I made for HSBC in Media. The first view tells you that time is normal, the second view shows that time is money and the last view tell you the time you have to relax from work.
The third advert I made for HSBC in Media. The first view of the image tells you the money has power , the second view of the image shows the leaders have power and the last view of the image shows that electricity has power.
