Ck in2u is a male and female frangrance that is suppose to seuduce both the sexes. The advert concentrates on the ways in which how women are getting dominant and have the control over the male. The advert is fast,funky and fresh. And it starts where the male is trying to get to the female, he is trying to catch up with her. The connatations are very sexual 'into u' is a way of getting in the woman, this alos could connote the sexaul connatation of the title. The ways in which the poster is seen is very sexually constructed as the male is woman is pulling on the man's belt which is seen to be the phallic symbol. The bottle acts like a phallic symbol to as it's symbolic to the male 'penis'. The pateriarchy still seems to exist as the male is on top of the woman which shows that he is in control of her and he can do what he wants.

media analysis of Sholay (old) and Agg (new)
From the viewings of both texts in class, it has come to my attention that the first text (sholay) was very traditionally based, campsite with the fire burning in the middle with the woman (belly dancer) performing for the men surrounding her. Automatically, you would assume that this women is abit of ‘eye candy’ for the men, almost like a ‘stripper’ scene but in comparison to the text shown after called ‘Agg’ it seems completely harmless, it doesn’t seem sexual in any way. The moves that the woman is performing are quite inviting but then seem completely innocent. The second text ‘Agg’ meets the description of the woman being a ‘sex object’. The video encounters a very ‘Mtv style’ video, were the dance moves have been choreographed and the video also entails ‘Digital special effects’ which shows that ‘globalisation’ has been of influence to the ‘Agg’ Video. The main differences of the both texts are that in the second text (Agg) there are more women, this is to show and empahsise the ‘sex object’ idea, the woman are clearly attractive and have been placed in the vdieoto be looked at but’ not for eye candy’ It seems that ‘the digital revolution’ has taken on board on the second video with the digital effects and fast edits.

Established.....
MTV's roots can be traced back to 1977, when Warner Amex Cable, a joint venture between Warner Communications and American Express, launched the first two-way interactive cable TV system, Qube, in Columbus, Ohio. The Qube system offered many specialised channels, including Sight On Sound, a music channel that featured concert footage and music oriented TV programmes. The popularity of the channel on the Qube system prompted Warner Amex to market the channel nationally to other cable services. MTV was founded on August 1 1981 as an operation of MTV Networks. It became available in most of the United States in the mid-Eighties with the nationwide expansion of cable. From its beginnings, MTV grew to be an outlet for a variety of different materials aimed at adolescents and young adults, and in 1984, the network successfully produced its first MTV Video Music Awards show. In 1992 it added a movie award show which proved to have a similar impact. MTV was subsequently acquired by Viacom Inc. in 1985, becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary.

In April 2006, MTV Networks launched MTV Overdrive in the UK, the company’s first free online video-on-demand service. The service generates income through 15-second advertising spots, although viewers can fast-forward through them. Overdrive targets 16 to 35-year-olds by showing exclusive clips of MTV programmes such as ‘Punk’d’ and ‘Dirty Sanchez’ as well as news packages, movie trailers and music videos.
In March 2006, MTV Networks International signed a deal with T-Mobile to provide mobile TV content to T-Mobile subscribers across Europe. The programming was made available in Germany first, then Austria, and then in the UK. Subscribers have access to Nickelodeon animations like ‘Dora the Explorer’ and ‘SpongeBob SquarePants’, as well as channels including MTV Music and MTV Shorts. UK subscribers are also able to access classic comedy stand-up routines and clips from shows on Paramount Comedy. MTV Networks has partnerships with 63 mobile operators globally, including a deal, announced in July 2005, with Motorola to launch a service called MTV Load, part of a three-year, £43m, global partnership between the two companies.
In January 2006, MTV announced a restructure, that included cutting staff from its marketing and ad sales functions in New York and at its European headquarters in London. MTV stressed it would still be trading with media agencies and service advertisers at a pan-regional level and that the restructure would allow it to serve the needs of advertisers better and that flagship events, such as the MTV Europe Awards, would be unaffected.

. . .WHAT IS MTV? . . .
MTV (Music Television) is the oldest and most influential American cable network specializing in music?related programming. It was launched on August 1, 1981, with the words "Ladies and gentlemen, rock and roll," spoken on camera by John Lack, one of the creators of MTV. This introduction was immediately followed by the music?video clip Video Killed the Radio Star, featuring a band called the Buggles. The title proved somewhat prophetic as MTV greatly transformed the nature of music?industry stardom over the next several years. At the same time, MTV became a major presence in the cable?TV industry and in fact in the overall American cultural landscape.
One of the earliest and greatest cable success stories, MTV was established by Warner Amex Satellite Entertainment Company (WASEC) after extensive marketing research. The key to MTV's viability, at least initially, was the availability of low-cost programming in the form of music videos. Originally these were provided free by record companies, which thought of them as advertising for their records and performers.
