Finished Second Advert

This is our finished second advert. We did originally plan to add another section being the 'noodle adicts' groups, however after we filmed this we decided against using it. Our advert was already 26 seconds in length and we couldnt of got rid of any more to fit that bit in, and also we feel it might of confused the audiecne as it wasnt one hundred percent clear. We feel this is short and to the point, and with the extra bit it would of been too much.

Creativity :)

This is my attempt at doing a creativity exercise at making an album cover out of random words and a random image. I explored options within photoshop to create a presentable peice, and use creativity within in the font i chose. I used a black and white themed font to combine with my image.

Creativity Exercise

Today's lesson with Mr Ford, we were asked to create a cd cover using photoshop. The intructions were:

1. Generate a name for your band by using WikiPedia's random page selector tool, and using the first article title on whichever page pops up. No matter how weird or lame that band name sounds.

2. Generate an album title by cutting and pasting the last four words of the final quote on whichever page appears when you click on the quotationspage's random quote selector tool. No matter what those four words turn out to be.

3. Finally, visit Flickr's Most Interesting page -- a random selection of some of the interesting things discovered on Flickr within the last 7 days -- and download the third picture on that page. (Even better: Click on this link to get a Flickr photo that's licensed under Creative Commons.) Again -- no cheating! You must use the photo, no matter how you feel about it.

4. Using Photoshop (or whatever method you prefer), put all of these elements together and create your very own CD cover.

Mine turned out like this:



Throughout the lesson I developed many skills using photoshop. I was also able to experiment with all the differernt tools which exercised my creative mind.

My band were called 'Plot' and the Album name was called 'Nothing behind the Geometry'.

On the whole, I found this exercise fun as it was so random and we didn't have to think of a name.

Clip One
The mise -en scene is that of an office, we are able to tell this by the desk. Strassers costume reflects his status as he is wearing a tailored dark uniform which distungishes from others. There is lots of close up shots focusing on Struasser and Lalzo, and very little shots of Isla, showing she is not a dominant role. Between Strusser and Lazlo there is an eyeline match showing there is not one character who has greater dominance than the other. There is also no music, so that the audience can focus on the dialouge.

The main sterotype for Strausser is that he is the 'evil' pwerful one. This fits into Levis Straus theory that all media text has a good vs. evil, and Strausser being the evil one, and Lazlo being the good one.

Clip Two
The mood in Paris at the begining of the scene is meant to portray romance. We see iconic Paris momuments, such as the Eiffel tower which show us the location. The car scene where Rick has his arm round Isla, suggests he is romantic and caring, and also fits the steriotype of Gilmores 'man the protector', and shows Isla as needy. The diagetic music that plays also adds to the romance as it is "as time goes by", this also connotates forshadowing events.

In the apartment it still looks romantic and cosy as the mise-en scene shows a piano and flowers.

HOORAY

we have burnt all out work onto disk, and have submitted our coursework :):):)

any blog post's from now on, will be exam related material.

Today..

we have managed to edit ALL of the first advert.. All that needs to be done now is adding music. We have picked an artist (Joel Owen) we would like and have asked him if we can use one of his songs so we are not copywriting. He was willing to let us use one so we are very grateful.

Feedback..

we have recieved our first comment off youtube form our sponership advert. The print screen is unlcealr but it says "
I think this advert is funny I will will remember it which is a very important aspect a advert". This is very pleasing to hear, and any feedbac kis good

Re-filmed

we re-filmed the second part of the first advert at the resturant. We got lots of shots so that we can pick the material we want to use tomorrow. horrayyyyyyyyy xxx

I Am Pleased..

That we have finished the second advert, Tv sponership advert, and Radio Advertisment. I have uploaded these three onto youtube to see what feedback we get from other people not in our class.. Now we are going to re-film the last part of the first advert and then we have 2 full days in which to edit this.

I have also done a fair amount of my evaluation so i feel that we are coming on okay, and should not be stressed.

Finished TV sponership

This is our finished Tv sponership advert. It is shorter in length than a real advert as it would be shown just before the start of a progamme they are sponersing. ours being Britania High a music drama for teenagers.

Adding Image To End Of Adverts

we added an image to the end of our adverts to help promote the product. We took a picture of our product on a digital camera, lasoosed around the image to make the background black. We saved it to a memory stick and then uploaded the image. When this is shown the voice over slogan is played at the same time.

Postmodern

Postmodern sensibility, is where something is bad, but it's so bad that it's good.
Such as 'The Beastie Boys'. When they arrived on the scene, the press hated them but they were highly successful. They have worked with artists such as Led Zepplin to the Beatles.
