  Camera shot 1: Medium Shot This camera shot is used frequently, and it's a shot of a character from head to torso. The characters are watching from some sort of video chat, so this shot being used could indicate crucial information is being put out. Camera shot 2: Two shot This camera shot is also used frequently, and it's shot consists of two characters in one scene. In the clip we see quite a bit of two shots, so this could indicate teamwork between characters. Camera shot 3: Close-up This shot is also used quite frequently; it's of a character visible from head to shoulder. The shot could be used to emphasise the stakes of this scene, considering how close the camera is next to the characters. It could also mean closeness and/or close proximity between the characters, as they are in direct communication with each other. Camera angle: Low angle The camera is almost always at a low angle throughout the clip and it's scenes. It could be used to indicate the power that...

1: Action/actors Denotation: Going to the scene where Will was being pursued by an unknown entity, we can see that he starts panicking and flees to his house, locking the door. His mum and brother are nowhere to be found, so he goes to the phone and calls the police, only to be met by static and disturbing sounds coming from the other line. He checks the door, phone gripped in hand, when he notices the same entity unlocking the door. He takes this opportunity to run out the back door and into the shed, nervously loading the gun yet determined to shoot his stalker. His efforts are in vain however, as the entity appears behind him. He turns around, looks at the creature, the camera focuses on the flickering light bulb when suddenly... Nothing. Connotation: From Will's panicked actions, and him running for safety, we can infer that in this situation, he is terrified; an unknown, tall figure is stalking him, and he doesn't know why. This point is further emphasised as he franticall...

Denotation: We can clearly see a child standing next to some text that reads "Dig toilets, not graves", along with the WaterAid logo in the top right. The written code (the text), represents and promotes the campaign (what it is about). Connotation: Referring back to the written code, we can infer that the text most likely means that humanity not doing anything for the developing countries in need is killing them, hence the "graves" part. The child standing next to the text probably means the advert is telling you "Not helping these people have clean water sources kills them, even children".  Analysis: The advert helps the audience understand the situation that these people are going through on a daily basis, without overwhelming them with information. The text, "Dig toilets, not graves" helps audiences to empathise with these people as this has connotations of death. This adds to the serious nature of the advert, in which it is meant to make the...
