Analyse the purposes and audience of a short advertisement, using evidence from choices rather than subject matter. Use the text below.
"Two Doors" — 30 seconds. 0:00 a woman opens the front door of a small house, evening, warm light, a child's bike inside. 0:05 she stops, held four seconds, and we do not see what she sees. 0:09 reverse shot: a stained ceiling dripping into a bucket. 0:12 a second door, daytime, different season; she steps through easily, ceiling clean, a child running past. 0:17 music enters for the first time. 0:20 wide shot of the house from the street, the bike now on the lawn. 0:24 voice-over: For the days you did not plan for. 0:27 an insurance company name and a phone number, three seconds.
Discuss why sound is the least-analysed channel in this standard, and what a candidate gains by choosing a text with no image at all.
