5) My weakest question was number 2.

6)Links with other brands and media products are used in the trailer to promote call of duty ghosts in a number of ways. One way is the use of  setting in Las Vegas and the fact that the  four males are running around having fun . This suggests that the game is about entertainment, having fun and being relaxed.Las Vegas is a place known for having fun, partying and splashing money with friends so the fact that Las Vegas was used as the setting will portray to the audience that this is what the game is about.

Another link is at the end of the trailer where the brand activision and Infinity ward are featured. Activation and Infinity award are two video game developers who both developed call of duty ghosts.These two institutions have been around for a number of years and have produced some other good games such as Shrek and angry birds. This tells the audience that they are trusted brands which will enable them to make sure people will purchase their new games. They have also produced other call of duty games which means the audiences who enjoyed those games could make repeat purchases.

One last link is the use of the well known actor Megan Fox. The use of this actor draws the audience in more and will make the audience look at the game more seriously. Megan Fox is a well known american actress who has made an appearance in a number of big budget films as she is featured in the call of duty ghosts trailer she automatically improves the games reputation and makes it look more rich and glamorous. This may attract more people to buying the game and it also links well with the Las Vegas theme of being wealthy and having fun.
