Barnardos: The Row advert

In this advert, there are many techniques used to make the the advert more effective. For example, it opens with a mid-shot of the child and there is screaming in the background.

For example, one of the most noticeable things straight away is the eeriness of the music. This also compliments the dark lighting that is essentially used throughout the whole show. It makes the show feel very dark. For example, in season 3 episode 1, there is a scene where the lighting in the flaming is all dark, but in the corner of the screen there is blue from a police car bleeding into the frame.
