Charlie and The Chocolate Factory - George Gillard

Tim Burton is categorised as a auteur film maker because his films are not just a story and characters because he makes his work relatable and identifiable to his audience and he makes it true to himself. Also we see that he makes his films very different to anyone else and they are very unique so when someone sees his work, they can tell who made it. 

I think that in the Tim Burton film 'Charlie and The Chocolate Factory' there is a message told and that message is to not take things in life for granted and to be loyal to your family and something that good will happen. For example, Charlie is brought up poor and living in a beaten up house with all of his family and he sees that there are 5 golden tickets to go to the chocolate factory and he gets lucky and finds the last ticket. All the other people who got one where spoilt and they went through lots of different stages in the factory and Charlie was the only one who passed the tests and was given the chance to run the chocolate factory along side Willy Wonker himself but he wasn't aloud to bring his family so he declined which shows that his family is the most important thing to him. Willy Woker then understood how family is impotent to his so he agrees to let them all live inside the factory.

The trailers for the films 'Beetlejuice' and 'Edward Scissorhands' both show similarities in their genres and themes. In Edward Scissorhands, the main actor is an outcast because he has scissors for hands and he is seen as a monster to everyone but one day he is told to come home with a woman and he finds a woman and falls in love with her but he has lots of different obstacles in his way because of his hands problems that he causes through them but he does not give up on what he wants. In Beetlejuice, there is a couple and they move to a haunted house and they have to do everything they can to have the house to themselves and they don't give up to get what they want. The theme of not giving up is shown in both film trailers and is also seen in Charlie and The Chocolate Factory because Charlie does not give up on finding a ticket and he ends up being the only person left and wins the end prize. Because of these examples, we can see that a recurring genre that Tim Burton uses is 'quest' and this is the genre that he will base his work on.

Mercedes Benz van advert 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhqa8izMRG8&list=PL_-0bPeCKBTHxM3jSxgmbVQaEBEp-julj&index=1

This advert is quite formal but complexed at the same time because it includes important facts and tells you about APR and it tells us that there is a certain date as to when the vehicles must be registered. Also, it explains that there is a website that you should visit for details or problems. The man talking says "we" which is formal and creates the sense of a family of community of those who drive the vans and this creates a very welcoming sense. 

The audience that this product is aimed at is predominantly men who work in the building or electrical business as they would need a good reliable van that can get them from A to B with no problems and it needs to be able to carry all their tools. The age of the audience would be from about 20 to 45 years old.

The advert really lures in its target audience because the man speaking has a calm voice and he knows what he is talking about. He measures us that the product is good and that the people who use it are part of a community and they should feel happy to drive the vans. 

British Gas advert

The British Gas radio advert is formal but simple as the man speaking does not go into lots of important detail but talks about reassuring you about things like making sure that your boiler is working well for a fixed fee and it is a special offer. It is formal because he is talking to his audience and we know this because he says "you" and "your" and this tells us that he is making an effort to interact with his audience.

His voice is deep and with the music in the background, it makes us feel that he is an important person and that we should listen to what he has to say. Also, the music sounds quite victorious and sounds like something that you would hear after winning something so this again makes that audience trust the product because the music makes it sound reliable. 

The target audience for this product would be both males and females who have their own houses as they will need gas to make things in their house work so this product is aimed at them and it is for people aged 18 and over because from that age onwards you will be needing gas to power things.
