DIRECTOR
Location for films could take you all over the world in some amazing places.
The Director controls a film’s artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay,
therefore has a big part of the locations decisions.
The Academy Award for Best Director is an award presented
annually by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
(AMPAS). It is given in honor of a film director who has
exhibited outstanding directing while working in the film
industry. This award is the most prestigious award that can be
rewarded for this career.
Since 1929— the year of the very first Academy Award
ceremony—only one woman has ever won the
Academy Award for Best Director. Kathryn Bigelow won
the award in 2010 for ‘The Hurt Locker’.

8. Research:
Describe how you located, retrieved and stored information:
I used Google chrome as my main search domain and from their got most of my information through secondary
Research such as articles, most of the articles where features on a certain subject to do with he film director career
so I had to read through and pick out all the interesting and relevant facts and points. I kept all my information on
this PowerPoint therefore I could keep refereeing back to it and by keep all of my information in one place make
everything a lot easier and quicker. I wanted interesting facts and for them to all be different. Articles I found my
information from where all very different, going from from linking to the industry itself through travel opportunities
and the different responsibilities and others referring to the gender difference within film directors. I also wanted
to incorporate the Academy Awards due to the prestige gained by winning one and how this also links to the gender
difference.
9. Client research: PRINT ADVERTS
IRN BRU’s main colour: orange is taking up the majority of the ad
and pulls attention to the writing and away from the picture which
is related to the writing but not as important.
On every advert there is a quote relating to the picture but bringing
in IRN BRU in a humorous way. The quotes are controversial due
to being typical ‘lad banter’, it can be seen as rude and degrading
to women in some aspects but also as funny with clever puns.
By adding the pictures, for example the chick with the quote
“there's nothing better that IRN-BRU when you’ve just been laid”,
with out the picture of the chick the quote wouldn’t been seen as
humorous but by adding it reveals the pun and creates the humor.
The ad is a very simple design and only made up of three things:
Product, image and text.
10. Client research: Use of colour
The advert is kept very cohesive with the the colours kept primarily to the Irn Bru colours: Orange and blue.
This is to plant to colours into the audience head so they relate the colours automatically with the product.
They link the Scottish background with the colour, using mostly ginger actors in their Irn bru extra advert.
There 3 completely different people all with ginger hair this is showing all sorts of people drink Irn Bru.
Orange, Blue and White
• Orange tinge to the glasses
• Orange top with a blue neck line
• Blue jacket with white stripped collar
• Ginger hair and beard • Ginger hair
• Orange and white stripped top
• Orange flowers in the background
Television advert
11. Client research:
IRN BRU since 2015 has had sponsorship from England football leagues therefore linking the product
to sport instantly relates the product and therefore will be seen as a drink to consume whilst playing sport.
Audience is predominantly Males ages 16-30 due to the humor and
design of the product
(the man holding up the “Bru” is displaying male masculinity.)
The slogan “IRN BRU gets you through” – In all the short adverts by IRN BRU there's always a scenario where
the main cast member (usually male) is in an awkward or uncomfortable position and they just keep taking sips of IRN BRU
every time it gets worse and by doing this they ‘get through’ the scenario appearing to be happy and comfortable.
Another way they stick to the Scottish culture is by poking fun at it and making it comical.
12. Market research:
The map shows the that in every country but Scotland, coca cola
is the most popular fizzy drink but in Scotland its Irn Bru.
In Scotland, Irn Bru is one of the most popular soft drinks. The
equivalent of 12 x 330ml cans are consumed every second, on
par with Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Coupled with unique and
captivating marketing, Irn Bru has established itself as more
than just a drink – it is now a fundamental part of Scottish
culture.
Due to IRN BRU being most popular in scotland they keep their adverts very Scottish related, whether it be in humor, location or even
football references they keep to their Scottish roots due to the Scottish popularity keeping the drinks on the shelves.
13. Market research:
IRN BRU’S main competitor is Coca-Cola, with every country apart from Scotland choosing it as their favorite soft drink.
In 2015 the makers of IRN BRU released their own version of Coca-Cola's
Promotion with people’s names on the bottle, but kept with the Scottish
culture and only featured tradition Scottish names such as Fanny and Tam.
Showing the marketing difference, Coca-Cola keep the simplicity and is meant
puts the names on the bottles for a nice personal touch to the buyers.
Unlike IRN BRU who's use for the promotion was comical and to add humor.
Both have the same idea but for two different purposes/affects.
