essay reading/viewing?

Thought some aspects from this could help me with my essay,

Saturday, 15 January 2011

Essay title,

"Does advertising have to be redundant to successfully communicate brand image"

I will be focusing on brand advertising, e.g food/clothing outlets etc...
I will discuss their advertisements (film or print), and argue whether their redundant or entropic, and also how effective they are depending on what they are.


I will get the appropriate texts to support my essay from,
'Introduction to communication studies' - John Fiske

And, advertising studies, range of books. Also, research into advertisements through the use of books and internet, and primary research.

essay title will be based on the subject...

PANOPTICISM. 

-How it panopticism used in today's society?
-Is Michel Foucault's method of discipline, through the use of panopticism, effective in his and today's society?
- I also want to link a film or something, to this theory? I'm not sure which one though, and how I would link it

ACTUALLY, 
Maybe I want to discuss a film and relate it to one of the lectures subjects? 
Does 'Shawshank redemption' relate to panopticism? Not suuure.

-Panopticism in the media?

"Discuss how panopticism exists in media produced in today's society" ?
