I looked at the article titled, 'Right Pier Right Now!'. This article is about the plans for the building of the Cultural Centre at the end of the pier in Southend. The article goes over the history of the pier and how it needed a place on it for events to take place. This was backed up by quotes from Southend residents who were excited to have a new cultural centre. The article then goes on to describe how the design was selected and the reasons that it came first in over 70 submissions. Diagrams of the design of the structure are shown on the next page to show what it will look like. On the next double page spread the article describes how it may be seen as unnecessary to build the centre as the pier already attracts many people, with quote from a resident against the development, but then describes how the new building will offer a contemporary spin on the end of pier show and discusses how the space can be used for private entertainment and events, and how it can even offer new statistics for the pier in addition to it being the longest pleasure pier in the world. Overall, the article is effective in going over the story behind the proposed cultural centre and goes over the potential that the centre has well.

I watched the ‘World of Our Own’ advert from Shelter. The advert portrays a man and a girl on another planet in spacesuits. About halfway through the advert cuts to the two in a room with an arguing couple, revealing how the two had been imagining the scene before, escaping the dull, harsh reality of their circumstances to imagine themselves in a much nicer and more fun setting, attempting to make the most out of their situation. This shows the effect that financial struggle has on families, appealing to the audience of struggling families who will feel that they can relate to the advert and feel represented. The worried expression shown on the girls face shows how she is struggling and the man is attempting to comfort her.
