This is a Calven Klein underwear advert, and although i plan to have a mdoel wearing clothes, i wanted to point out that although this model is only wearing underwear, he is creating a persona through this ad. his has created a persona of 'cool' and good looking, when somebody buys this underwear, they want to emulate this model, and purchase the idea behind the advert.

Adverts can be good

Fletcher talks about the benefits that advertising has. “it helps national creativity, media users, helps employees, and it helps the public” (Fletcher, 2010: 13) he points out that through the use of adverts, advertising so people can consume, is actually beneficial for society and plays a vital role

Location: This iconic place in Kingston upon thames is the perfect location for what i wanted, it represents London at its heart.

Avril Lavigne has a new video out called Hello Kitty, this is based on eastern asian culture, and can help me a lot in my inspirations.

Eastern Asian culture is becomming more and more popiular with other parts of the world and not only being restricted to asia. for example Psy's song Gangam style and this song becomming popular in Amercia and Enland proves this.

great technique for creating certain moods.

I have decided to go with the name lilith as this name is very well known, compared to the other ones. I have chosen a name that is well known because A. it gives the viewer a better sense of what the movie will be about because connotations that come with the name. and b. there is some research showing people who are familiar with something they are more likley to choose it. for the use of apple logos, just be seeing them everywhere it has become familar with the public, and thus are now more likley to go and buy apple products.

Potential names of the horror movie

Because my poster is about a woman who is demonic i went and found a site that tell us all the names of female demonic figures. I think using one of the names will be a good title.

Lilith: From the Assyrian "of the night." In Jewish legend, Lilith was Adam's first wife, and was expelled from Eden because she would not submit to his authority.

Yuki-Onna: An irrisistable phantom associated with snow storms; a type of pale succbus that lures young men to remote areas with the intention of drinking thier blood, or freesing them solid.

Empusa: A shapeshifter, a demonic female with one leg of a donkey and the other of brass, pursues travelers and eats them.

Ardat Lili: A night demon; a succubus, or a young female spirit associated with children and pregnant woman, also a storm demon.

Hantu Kopek: Female nightmare demon.
