As he remembers nothing he has no memory of bellamy or his murderers father who is still alive but severely de formed and becomes mutated and is now in control of an army of the dead. The skull keepers control cannot be kept on his own but he has help from his second in command bellamy.

Gratifications

Jean gets home from a long day at work and just wants to relax. she switches on the television and sees that her favourite sic fi film is on - back to he future .

Which gratification(s) do you think applies,
A. Entertainment B. Information C. identity D. Relationships

Answer- Entertainment 
Now explain why you have made this choice(s)
I have decided that this choice of media (film/sci fi) is mainly used for entertainment as sic fi as a genre doesn't inform people of any real knowledge it doesn't show true aspects for relationships and it doesn't contain identity as a whole.

Jeans husband gordon was an astronaut and was accepted for the apollo 13 mission, but he fell ill at the time of the launch and could not go. he switches on the television and sees that the science fiction film apollo 13 is on. he decides to watch it, why?
 He decided to watch this film for information identity and relationship. he has a relationship with this film as he's an astronaut and he has an identity relating to the film as he was going to be on apollo 13. He also has is also seeking information as he is missing out as he is to ill to do the real deal.

Jean and gordon have two children , two teenaged girls called alice and poppy. Al their friends are going to the cinema to see the latest sic fi film- the hunger games. Everyone is talking about stand they just have to see it, so they can discuss it with their friends.
I think the main purpose of them watching this film is for relationship as it will help them have relationships with her people by talking about the films.

Gordon has a brother called edward, who is a professor at the local university. His main interests outside university are looking through his telescope at the stars and planets in the sky. He is convinced he has seen UFOs before. He switches on the television and sees that the science fiction film invaders from mars is on. he decides to watch it, why?
He decides to watch this because he is interested in UFOs because he ahas a personal relationship and past with them being a main thing i his life.

Are aliens good or bad?

Aliens vary  from good to bad some may display negative thoughts toward humans others may only have good intentions.

COCA-COLA

COCA-COLA RESEARCH
Coca-cola (coke) is the most renowned drink company in the world. With this information it may come to no surprise that they have a very large advertisement programme. They use many methods but mainly focus on real life events. For example families and relationships. If i were to compare the classic coke adverts to the new there are many changes that it has gone through. The old adverts were very obvious and in your face about there product whereas todays adverts are very subtle with there product placement they never even state the name of their product. The classic adverts would just tell people how good coca cola is but today they use different techniques. They use a short abbreviated story where there product is shown in happy situations.

HOW THEIR PRODUCT BEGAN
It all began in 1886. It was created by a local small time pharmacist named John Pemberton aka (doc). He fought in the civil war and when it ended he decided he wanted to invent something that would give him commercial success. This is how our beloved coca cola came to be.

COCA COLA LOGO
Over the years coca colas logo hasn't really changed much they've always used red and white as there main colours. However their slogan is forever changing. Currently after the airing of the newest advert, their slogan is brother love. However it has changed many times over the past centuries here are some examples of old slogans;Red White and You,  Drink Coca Cola, Delicious and Refreshing, Coca Cola Revives and Sustains, The great national temperance beverage.


MY IDEAS FOR A COCA COLA ADVERT.

I have many ideas for a coca cola advert but before i can explain them i will show an example of a coke advert, and this one is my personal favourite…



This advert shows coke at its routes, rather than being obvious with their branding and over selling their product they are subtle and show a rather up beat situation.

If i was to create a cocacola advert i would bring aspects of this ad into my ideas. I wouldn't steal things directly from it just the tone and overall message. Mine would be set in winter and wouldn't contain any speech just a slow piano playing in the background. There would be a sad homeless man with a large blanket covering him. Then a young boy would reach out to offer him a classic coke can with the easter bunny on it.The man would then proceed to except and drink the refreshment. Then the camera would rotate around the man with slight speed and after the camera goes past his back the snow would disappear and the sky will turn bright and everyone will be in good clothes eating easter chocolate.

BRANDING

BRAND- Collective image/representation of one companies product/ portfolio. With the addition of a company message.
A brand is an idea or image of a specific product or service that consumers connect with . But at the same time separates it from other products.
4 KEY ELEMENTS OF BRANDING
1.Name
2.Logo
3.Slogan
4.Tone
SUBWAY (EAT FRESH).
I think that subway has chosen this slogan to appeal to the healthier community. They make it sound like their fast food company is somewhat healthy or fresh. Rather than admitting their ingredients have been processed they make out that their ingredients won't create an unhealthy consumer. They also suggest a better taste by using this slogan. This slogan is effective due to the new and more cautious society or consumers of fast food brands.
