This time I decided to try a new approach, documentary! I know the obstruction of making a video no longer than 1 minute 30 seconds was going to be hard, but I was confident I could do it. And I am pleased with the final result.
THE NARRATIVE AND IDEOLOGY
My chosen idea on how sex is a power within the media really interests me. I decided to go with a more documentary style of video for this piece as I felt the content was more information based. This meant it was more easier to create and edit to. The video is all about how sex is a weapon in the advertisement arsenal. The video shows how people are suckered into buying products, mainly men, because ultimately the subconscious believes that buying said products will result with sex or lusts fulfilled. Also the video explains how else the subconscious is attacked through subliminal messages. The idea that sex is pumped into the brain without realising sets up the foundations ready to have the adverts trigger them. If you are told about sex from a young age and how good it is, you will want it, so adverts combine sex with their products, meaning you will want their products. The use of voice over narration is merely used to emphasis the visuals in my piece and to help inform people if the visuals are not understandable.

A very informative documentary – you did well to get it down to 1:30, and as Mez said, a full length documentary would be a great way to take this further

I liked it. was shocked that disney had the subliminal messages in. I honestly dont really belive subliminal messages on like audio like listening to something backwards, but i can believe the images.
