Narrative Analysis

Nike Advert "The last game"


Barthes Theory

The creating and making of the clones in the advert creates an effect because they're real players but cloned versions which promotes and makes the advert feel more realistic and popular.

Action Code- this is the climax in the advert when the football players are being "taken over by robots" and they try 'bring football back' this is the action code because it the players are active and try bring their sport back which is intense and creates and builds up tension.

Equilibrium- young kids enjoying football and watching their role models (football players) play and they try emulate them when playing in their favela's with other children.

Disequilibrium- the real/human footballers are being cloned by better versions of themselves and are taking away their sport

New equilibrium- This is the part when Ronaldo which is an ex football player calls the players all and gathers them and starts motivating them to face the robots in 'the last game' they agree to do so and win in the end and restore the sport back to how it was previously which is a happy ending for everyone.

Propp's Theory

This advert is a prime example because it has a villain this is the man creating the clones of these players and is destroying football the sport. The hero in this advert would be all of the football players and their manager in the advert who is Ronaldo they are the hero's because they aim to restore football and claim it back.

Fast Furious 6 Trailer

Enigma- the plot of the story is briefly explained and key moments from the movie are shown to give the audience an experience of how its like but they try not to give away everything because the movie would be pointless. They try to give just enough so that the audience is satisfied and is willing to pay to watch this movie.

Action- this is a key aspect of the movie because the movie includes lots of action and violence throughout and the trailer shows the audience what kind of action the film contains.
