What does an Animator do?
Animators in the games industry are responsible for the portrayal of movement
and behavior.
Most often this is applied to give life to game characters and creatures, but
sometimes animations are also applied to other elements such as objects,
scenery, vegetation and environmental effects.
The gaming industry though, growing silently, is expected to drive revenues up to US$90.07
billion in 2020. International video game revenue was estimated to be around $80 billion in
2014, which is more than double the revenue of the international film industry in 2013. The
market leading the race worldwide were China, the US and Japan- their respective revenues
from gaming in 2016 were $24.27 billion, $23.46 billion and $12.43 billion.

Client research:
Irn-bru is made by AG Barr, a Glasgow based soft drinks company. Whilst the Barr’s brand portfolio is increasing ear on
year ,the company’s jewel in the crown remains IRN-BRU. It accounts for two thirds of Barr sales and most of this is
generated from sales in Scotland.
Launched in 1901 in Scotland,
IRN-BRU is a carbonated soft
drink made to an original secret
recipe, which from 1901 has
contained 32 flavours.
The secret recipe has been passed
down from one generation of the Barr
family to another since 1901 when
BARR'S IRON BREW (as it was then) was
launched by Robert Barr and his son
Andrew Greig Barr.

This irn-bru advert is a linear narrative advert because it just keeps telling a story and it is also a realistic narrative because

This is persuading people to buy irn-bru conveying the message that drinking irn-bru calms You down when you are stressed

have a very large sense of comedy and humour in them meaning it hits the target audience of of late teens to adults.

and love

Lines of Appeal

• Nature & the natural world
Factors of persuasion
• coercive power: the product is presented upon pain of
threat or punishment.
These are both very similar in
there layout including the colours
orange and blue which are the
colours of the product and have
just a little phrase which does not
take up a lot of your time to read
and it is also very comedic making
you remember these
advertisement more than others.

Market research:
Irn-Bru is also the third top-selling soft drink in the UK overall,
with Pepsi and Coca-Cola occupying the top two spots.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWBQP-bxfX0
This Coca-Cola advert is a linear narrative advert because it just keeps telling a
story at a pool and it is also a realistic narrative because there is nothing made
up in it. This is persuading people to buy coke conveying the message that
drinking it is very refreshing and relieving. This advert is also trying to be very
comedic by having them fight and it is not sexually discriminating to any
gender either.

Market research:
Just 4,285 bottles and cans of Irn-Bru were bought in the whole
of 2012-13, according to figures obtained by the Press
Association in a Freedom of Information request.
Bars, cafes and vending machines across the parliamentary
estate sold a total of 8,708 cans or bottles in the 2015-16
financial year, up from 5,452 the previous year.
All of the coca cola posters are pretty similar even when
showing different seasons. The message they are always
conveying is that coke is an explosion of happiness and
drinking it cheers up your day.
Other artists that promoted Coca-Cola include the Beatles,
David Bowie, George Michael, Elton John, and Whitney
Houston, who appeared in the Diet Coca-Cola commercial,
among many others.
Coca-Cola was the first commercial sponsor of the Olympic
games, at the 1928 games in Amsterdam, and has been an
Olympics sponsor ever since
In the Museum of Scotland, in Edinburgh, there is a range of
exhibits selected by celebrities—Sir Sean Connery chose a crate of
Irn-Bru. In the Hunterian Museum in Glasgow, a small refrigerator
contains a 6-pack of Irn-Bru in the section dedicated to Scientific
Instruments and Lord Kelvin.
Scottish indie-pop band the Orchids reference Irn-Bru in their first
single, "I've Got A Habit."
Scottish Folk-n-Roll band Scocha has a song dedicated to Irn-Bru on
their album "ScattyBoo".

Audience research:
People that like irn-bru like these celebrities the most and
this makes sense since irn-bru is Scottish and these
celebrities are also.
This is the target audience for coke and I compared this to
irn-bru which is just behind coke in popularity in the UK.
The overall gender and age are the exact same for both of
the drink products and they are both very similar in other
aspects its just the Scottish love there irn-bru.

Audience research:
It can be used as a mixer with alcoholic beverages—mainly vodka and whisky. Indeed, the alcopop WKD(produced by
Beverage Brands) was launched as an alcoholic equivalent of Irn-Bru. Barr retaliated by launching a drink combining Irn-Bru
and Bell's whisky, though this proved to be unpopular and was discontinued. A later attempt came in the form of an official
Irn-Bru flavour in the Red Square line-up of vodka-based drinks; this too has been discontinued. There is an official Irn-Bru
WKD flavour.
since moving out of their Parkhead
factory in the mid-1990s, and at a
second manufacturing site in
Mansfield, Nottingimshire, England. In
addition to being sold throughout the
United Kingdom, Barr's Irn-Bru is
available throughout the world and
can usually be purchased where there
is a significant community of people
from Scotland.

Carrying out a survey these were the results that were found. The main gender is male and there are half the amount of female, this means that more males are willing to talk about fizzy
drinks because they like them and drink them more than female. the main age range is at 17-19, this means that not that many teenagers drink Irn-Bru and more older people are more likely
to drink it like the age range found from my secondary research. The irn-bru tried graph is the exact same as the gender so I'm just assuming most of the people who drink irn-bru are male
because there numbers are alike on the graphs. Using data compared to other soft drinks more people prefer other fizzy drinks such as Fanta and coke and even the ones that don’t like fizzy
drinks are more higher than Irn-Bru they would rather have nothing than have a drink of Irn-Bru so this audience which answered this survey do not like irn-bru much. Most of the people all
see adverts and most of them see them on social media suggesting the age range is in the teenagers gap, the rest see them on Tv meaning where they place there adverts works because
people actually see them.

I think that Irn-Bru should be advertised with TV adverts, because their previous TV adverts have been successful, mainly because they are
funny.
Male
Dr. Pepper Zero, because it tasty and I like the bottle.
Irn-Bru Xtra, it has no carbohydrates

Not really I don’t care about adverts, as long as it tastes good.

want an irn-bru?
Not really.
What in your opinion is the best way to advertise irn-bru
and why?
The same way they have been doing for years as it seems to be

Audience research

Male
Lucozade because it is one of the only drinks which comes in an orange flavour.
I have not ever drank an irn-bru before.
Probably not however adverts really do have that effect to make you want it when you see it.
The best way is social media because so many people use it now on a daily basis.
Male
Coke because it tastes nicer than all of the other soft drinks.
I have not ever drank an irn-bru before.
Not really.
The best way is social media because so many people use it now on a daily basis.
All the people who answered my
questions were male. Non of their
favorite drinks were irn-bru they all
preferred others such as coke, Dr pepper
and Lucozade. Many of the people have
never even drank Irn-Bru before. All of
the people don’t really care that they are
advertised and aren't that bothered but
they all use social media and believe that
that is the best way to advertise.
Audience research

Concept
I designed this poster myself using Photoshop it is NOT a part of my final
production task. It was just created to get a feel for Photoshop and the tools in
it which some of them I will end up using in the making of my final poster. With
this test I saw lots of existing irn-bru posters and the colour scheme and border
of mine are similar to existing ones. With the irn-bru can I experimented using
overlays and effects over it to which I got this wavy pattern over it. With the
text I used bolder fonts and used strokes which made them pop and stand out
more making the poster more attracting and interesting. The background is not
just plain black because that would have been too strong so I got a background
with a lighter black off the internet.

Idea Generation:
This mood board explores the ideas of irn-bru
posters. My poster advert will be something very
similar to this in terms of the colours, orange and
blue, and it will also include a sell line however I
do not think mine will be comedic like all of the
existing ones. It should only have one picture on it
like all of these so it does not get cramped and
confusing.
