Textual Analysis - H&M 'Bring It On'

Image
Camera The overall focus throughout the video is on the clothes and their fabrics, whether they are being worn or recycled. The camerawork uses a number of varied methods to help the audience focus on the clothes throughout. By using long shots to show a full outfit or a close us to emphasise the fabric or it tearing. The focus on the clothes tearing and being mangled can give off a rough feel; H&M manages to emphasise this through their use of a hand held camera.

Statement of Intent - Arctic Apparel

Arctic Apparel is a high end winter clothing brand. The clothes range from parka coats to overcoats to casual jackets and other winter accessories The Brief  My company “Arctic apparel” will manage to create a marketing campaign that will emphasise our Fair-trade ideologies and our winter fashion selling points.  The Posters My products will be shown through two different posters that share similar features of mise-en-scene, so they can be related to ‘Arctic Apparel’. The posters will be shown in different locations, however with a similar background; This background being an industrial park. I plan on shooting in colour and maintaining a blue tint across the posters. This allows the posters to relate to our light blue logo. All the features in the poster will contribute to this overall blue look, from the sky to the clothes to cars In the background and street signs. Other features in the background such as the orange brickwork will compliment this blue and give an...
