Ford Fiesta Zetec blue advert is a humour/factual advert. The advert fits for a car style advert. Features two celebrity guest Robert Webb and David Mitchell The advert is successful because it's funny. As David is describing the new features of the ford fiesta Robert is making up things about his new car that is obviously not real. The target audience is for people who drive so it makes sense that the advert is on the radio in the car. The message of the advert is to help sell the car that the advert is promoting. This was a one-off advert with the two celebs. The success of the advert is shown in car sales as seen below:

This shows that December 2017 car sales rose this could be a correlation with the radio advert, the advert also helps to gain publicity and company awareness. The advert was broadcast all over the UK. The advert has been approved by organisations like Ofcom.

The Xbox 360 advert was released in 2010 and was produced by Microsoft, the aim of the advert is to sell more Xbox 360 consoles and promote the Microsoft company and the Xbox name. The advert is a humour advert with few words and noises from games that can be played on the Xbox. The advert was a one-off advert that was also shown on tv platforms as well as the radio.  The advert suits for the home and the car because it is humorous. The advert is successful because it's promoting the product in a way that also shows off the product without having to actually show the audience the product. The sounds used in the advert are clearly made by the narrator as sound effects but they are being used to help to portray the games that are available to the public. The diegetic sound of the thunder at 13 seconds is showing many of the games that can be played on the Xbox and therefore this helps promote the console. 

According to https://vgsales.fandom.com/wiki/Xbox_360

Here we can see that after the advert came out in the UK in 2005 that sales slightly went up by 200,000 this means that the advert was successful. The advert was also broadcast over the whole of the UK and was approved by Ofcom.

26.1 The Theory of Films (Unit 26: Film Studies) In this report, I am going to be analysing two different films and also talking about the two different directors that made these films and the film theories they use within their films. The directors I am going to be talking about are: Tim Burton Ridley Scott  Two films I am going to be analysing are: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) Thelma and Louise (1991) In Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Tim Burton uses auteur theory as he does in many of his other films. This means that Tim likes to use the same actors in many different films because a friendly relationship has been established between actor and director. In Thelma and Louise, Ridley Scott uses the theory of feminism within the film, feminist theory is the theory that everybody no matter sex should be equal in all categories such as in the workplace and the feminist theory also strives to achieve social equali...
