When all the kids are leaving the house the porch light flashes which could be an omen to say something is about to happen, nearly a minute later, a kids bike light flashes,after that he falls and is hunted and caught  by a monster,( as he

  In the image i can see a young boy who looks very frustrated and tired with a caption saying “Dig toilets, not graves” The possible deeper meaning to this is most likely being to tell people that children are dying because of poor sanitation in certain areas. The advert communicates to the audience that they could help save people with their donations.An audience could react in many different ways some examples being that they help the child by donating to water aid, they could feel bad for the people but not do anything, or just not care at all depending on the audience This is an advert for Coca cola which is a billboard that shows a temperature next to the words “[blank] reasons to refresh yourself”The advert is relying on the temperature which is 102 degrees fahrenheit(very hot) to say that if its hot you would need a refreshment that refreshment being coke.This may cause a person seeing this advert want coke due to th heat which symobolizes that its a good drink for when its hot

camera shots and angles

  0.01 medium shot This shows the audience the upper half of the characters body but still shows parts of the house to establish when its set you are also able to see a rather serious and stern expression on the characters face which means that they are discussing something important or dangerous 0.55 Long Shot: This is used to allow the audience to see the setting but they are still able to see part of the character, enough to see who the character is. The setting looks like a desk and a laptop, with that information you can infer he has a big job. The lighting is very dim which could mean its night time  2.14:
