Direct Line Advert

I saw this advert and thought the way it was structured was well done. So thought I would share it for you all to see.

The opening scene is quite clever as it pans down from the sky to a bold red phone which is followed by a tracking device of a row of people which is then followed by a shot reverse shot giving various angles of the people. It then reverted to people with spanners still using a tracking device to follow the people. The continuous use of a track creates a sense of realism to the audience showing the journey through to when the women gets her dog. This was a very clever advert, with a lot of shots used allowing us to see the journey in different perspectives.

Wishlist Gadget...

The sonic screwdriver may be fictional but this would be on the top of my christmas list. I would love to own this gadget.

Favourite Actress

Although Sophia Bush may not be as well known as Angelina Jolie, she doesn't lack in talent. Bush is my favourite actress as she has the power to turn the least important scene into a powerful scene and I believe she is a fantastic actress.

Favourite Film

Although you can only watch Elf in one season (winter), it has to be my favourite film of all time. As soon as christmas comes round it is the first thing in my DVD player. I believe Will Ferrell is a fantastic actor and this film never fails to make me laugh.

Another childhood film

Although I love thumbelina, one of my alltime favourite childhood movies is Aristocats. When me and my twin brother were younger we loved this film and would always sit and watch the video, we even had beany babies of the characters.

Best Childhood film

I have to say that Thumbelina was my most memorable childhood film. I can remember most sundays when I was a little girl my parents would put the video in and my siblings and I would watch it and never get bored of it.

Olympic Games advert

Here is an advert i saw before the olympic games. I really liked this advert and eventhough it is an animation; I believe there are several great camera movements in certain shots and felt I should share it with you to watch. As I have stated, even though it is animation there are some great shots used, opening with an establishing shot, setting the scene of London. Moreover it helps us establish what will be happening, panning down into the different events. With the use of non diagetic music to help inspire us for the event. Furthermore the editing techniques are brilliant with the transition from the diver to rower showcasing more technical ability.
