This is an example billboard advertising Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in Miami... This shows that even half way across the world, people still know about Harry potter. The billboard is very big and stands out.

Harry Potter Advertisment

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This was in sainsburys in south woodford. It was right near the enterance of the shop which suggests that they wanted it to get noticed. The way they have the number of days left to signify the amount of days left till the releasing of the Harry Potter, shows that they want the audience to know exactly when it comes out, so that they go and see it.

Pillow Talk Extract...

This woman is clearly old. She is a middle aged woman trying to re-gain her sex appeal but instead she has just lost her pride and dignity. This is as she should cover herself up and not make we look at a half naked old lady. She is wearing black; to make herself look sleek and slimmer she has also tried to make an effort but has failed as even she says “this is silly”. She has dolled herself up. The background of white and a natural green contrast with the black that she is wearing as well as showing that this is completely unnatural in every way, shape and form. When she laughs after the picture is taken and speaks it is clear that she is trying to flirt with the camera man and confirms that she is trying to put on a show. She is lying when she says “this is silly” as even that statement is fulfilling its purpose of bringing people in. Although it is not working. The post in the background reminds me of a wedding post, though she is dressed in black but then laying on a white clothed table. Her hair is messy and looks like she just got out of bed and left it at that.

The little boy is scared slightly, he is young and obviously his mum has dressed him up like a little doll for his picture. However, this kid does not seem to care as he is far more occupied with what is up his nose. The kid looks slightly sad and yet quite cunning and perceptive as he waits for his mum to not be looking before he plunges back into the depths of his nostrils. The kid does not say anything as his actions speak for him, creating a mischievous child. He smiles after his finger is back up his nose. It is clear that throughout the attention is on the child. This is as when we hear the cameraman and the kids mother talking they are clearly speaking to a child as they sound patronising. He clearly has higher priorities than sitting still in a chair. The boys outfit matches the furniture around him and blends in quite nicely. The little boy adds comedy into the frame as when he dives back for his nose he smiles, this shows that he knows he is doing wrong but finds it funny to do it anyway.

All the children are dressed up, none want to be there, the girl in the middle looks scared and unsure of what is going to happen and the other two seem as though they are comforting her, their facial expressions and that they are holding hand show this. The mother looks as though she is a middle class, pushy, church goer who perhaps has strong family values and believes in putting on a show (playing happy families). She also looks like she is trying too hard to show her being well off. Both her appearance and the children’s show us that they are a well kept family. Whilst they are sorting out the children’s appearance the mum goes on about her life story. From this we can tell that she is of an older generation (like oap’s “back in my day...”). The girls wearing blue can represent their innocence and purity. She starts to talk about how having the 3 girls are “a miracle” The backing lights help emphasis the fact that it was a miracle from the heavens. The frame is centred around the children, they are all dressed the same which could show that they are loved and cared for equally by their mother. The mothers dress is slightly dull but still has the blue color to show she’s associated with the girls in the Centre. Work lady’s hair is scruffy and tied back to show she’s busy and at work compared to the mothers hair which has had more time and care put into it  the girls hair is all identical and neat and tidy, and is being cared for throughout the extract. The triplets hands are all linked showing their bond and they all link towards the girl in the Centre suggesting she’s the oldest of the three.

The woman in blue had clear dominance in group, wearing odd colour & looks likes she is living in the past, her hair style and outfit show this. Dressed badly for her age (old!). Can tell she is old by her many wrinkles on her face. Her facial expressions shows us that she is trying to be cool and thinks that she is good looking and young and “hip” but she just looks like a middle aged woman trying to re-gain her youth. This is obviously not working as this probably makes her look older than she actually is as she is trying too hard. She is also trying to flaunt it. This photo was most likely her idea and as she is the dominant one the other two naturally agreed. The other two women are although trying to be young again they are obviously less into the picture especially the lady at the bottom. She is getting into it slightly for the others benefit but she looks slightly tense and uncomfortable to be doing it. Both she and the other woman standing (not the dominant one) are wearing black this symbolises that they are at the lower status in the group. Although the woman at the bottom is wearing gold on the black which allows us to notice her as opposed to the other lady sticking her tongue out who almost blends into the background. They also make a very odd noise once again showing they want to be cool. Once the picture is taken they all laugh, woman at bottom forcing a laugh/ smile, the blue lady jumping about aimlessly and the other woman laughs hysterically, crying out for attention.
