EBI: The Denotation and Connotation blog when you analyse the Nike advert is very brief for a typical analysis you should be picking out 3 to 4 examples for each (this is usually a 12-mark question).

  Blog tasks: 1) Pick  three   aspects of  camera movement  in the Minority Report clip. Identify the  type  of camera movement and write about why the director chose to use that camera movement in the scene and what effect it has on the audience. Zoom: the director might have chosen to put a scene where the camera is zoomed on the protagonist to show his face and his emotional state and what he may be feeling and thinking at the time.

  For this fruit bowl I used the magic wand tool to click on the area I wanted to insert the photo in. I also used the resizing tool to adjust the photo to the size I wanted it to be.

I used the paint tool to insert the colours I wanted to the fruits etc. In this fruit bowl I used the eye dropper tool to choose which colour I wanted from the picture I use from Coraline.
