Further textual analysis


Title of Ad; Levis 501- A Midsummer Night's Dream

Company: Levi

Product: Jeans


Textual analysis

- Advert acted out as a modern version of a shakespearian play revolving around the genes the protagonist is wearing and how confident he can be whilst he is wearing them.

-Beginning with a longshot to establish the setting, stage like curtain are drawn and white text is shown enabling the audience to disguingish the reason for such narration.

- The content of the narration is used to compliment the jeans "So is mine eye enthrallèd to thy shape". suggesting the female interest also admires his Levis

- A low angle shot of the protaonist's solioqy brings further attention to the jeans as does the close up of the man slightly pulling them at the beginning of the advert. 

- The logo at the finished is possitioned in the centre of the screen on a high angle long shot big enough to distiguish but small enough to still see the characters in the shot.

Being a narration the editing flows and is not too fast.


Key Concepts 

- The advert is targeted at fashinable men aged 18 and up- The protagonist having had a love interest as well as enemies 

- The representation of the couple at the end implies if a man wears Levi Jeans he will recieve jealousy from others however he will also gain a love interest.

- The ideology of this advert is that if a man wears the right Jeans he will not be "affraid" any longer and therefore be confident infront of others and have women confessing their love for him.
