Fifa 14


Print
Lionel Messi has been used because he is the best footballer in the world. Many people admire Messi so it’s a good way of advertising this game. The font is a big, black and bold font surrounded with a white stroke which makes it stand out. The colours that have been are red, white and black which makes it stand it out more. 

E-media
The FIFA 14 website contains full information about the game. It interests the audience by having a pictures and gives links to go to specific areas for example Fifa Ultimate Team.
This screenshot is from their Facebook page and shows you how they attract the audience. They attract the audience by engaging with them and they talk about latest things on football. In the example it shows you what their opinions and thoughts are on particular things. They do this so they make sure they are within the audience.

Broadcast
The TV advert attracts the audience by using different people playing the game. Lionel Messi is driving the van because he is the world’s best footballer so it makes sense to see him driving it and not the president of United States for example.  There is a combination of footballers that have been used that come from different countries. This is because they appeal to people from a specific place.  There are also regular people that have been used that are having fun and jumping around to show that this is a game that everyone can play with their friends and family.  The FIFA 14 trailer is so much different to the advert. The trailer shows you in depth game-play and shows you new content for example new game mechanisms ad new ultimate team. The trailer is effective in promoting the game because it shows you a sneak peak of the game-play and shows the new things that are going to be released.

What is the story or narrative to the game?
Planetside 2 is a re-imagining of Planetside, featuring the same world, factions and taking place at roughly the same time period. As in the previous game, it features territory control in an open-world, large battles featuring up to 2000 players per continent on foot or in land/air vehicles. The territory system differs greatly from that of the original, being more free-form and based on a hexagonal territory control system. SOE has been taking into account balance issues from the first game. As stated by creative director Matthew Higby, they reward combatants on lower population empires through mechanics such as proportionally increased advancement rates and resources to aid the balance of overall empire saturation on each server as much as possible without force-restricting players from being able to play with their friends.

In the movie 21 jump street, the typical fat high school geek and muscular jock are police officers who are sent back to high school as undercover cops to try and find out who the supplier of a new drug is. They are mentored by a black man who is stereotyped as he is more powerful than they are as he is an aggressive individual which makes the two white men submissive. They are not properly trained police men as they are amateurs and are compared to younger celebrities which is why they were chosen to go back into high school because they were able to blend in well. In the high school, the students bullied them because they thought they were older. When they were in the police force, they got treated differently by the elder and more powerful police officers as they weren't fully qualified.
