Finished Magazine Advertisement


In this post I show and discuss my completed magazine advertisement for the album.

 This is my completed magazine advertisement for the album. I chose the same background that I featured on my CD cover, but cropped the image, as it was horizontal. I chose a simple white typography with a minimal black shadow effect on the text, and I included a common convention of magazine advertisements that I saw frequently through my research  which is line seperating text; I chose to place this underneath the album name and above the release date. Text-wise, I obviously included the album title and artist name situated at the top and centre of the advert, aswell as singles that the album features, and at the bottom of the advert I included formats in which the album is available and the website for the artist. I experimented with various text tools but decided to only use a slight shadow effect on the text to make it stand out but keep it's simplicity, which is a convention I liked when looking at other existing magazine album adverts. Lastly, I incooperated a small image of the album itself, taken from my digipak production; this is commonly seen on many magazine album adverts, I also used a shadow tool here.

The theme of friendship is also prevelent throughout the video and that is something we wish to incorperate in our music video.

Mise-en-scene Throughout the video, the dark and alternative clothing that the characters wear creates the aesthetic that we want for our video, in order to appeal to our target audience of young people. This clothing style is also common with the demographic of people who listen to the alternative style of music. Throughout the video we also see the friendship group smoking and drinking, a common theme in terms of alternative music videos. I was particularly interested in the theme of a love triangle within a friendhship group as a narrative. Camera In terms of camera, we see an establishing

Note To The Examiner

Below you will find my completed music video production, for the song "Sorry" by Nothing But Thieves. Also, earlier in my blog you will be able to find my ancillary tasks of a corresponding digipak and magazine advertisement, sorted under the labels "Digipak Production" and "Magazine Advert Production." All of the posts on my blog are sorted into the relevant labels, easily accesible via the sidebar. Across my two years of Media A Level study, my production, filming, editing and creativity skills have developed massively as discussed in my evaluation, and my ability to participate in teamwork and organisational work has increased to a significantly higher level. I have thouroughly enjoyed the production work I have completed in my final year of my media study, and myself, aswell as my production group, are incredibly proud of the final product we were able to create.

Evaluation Question One

Image
In what ways does your media product use, develop or challenge forms and conventions of real media products? Myself and two other of the four members in our group sat down to discuss the ways in which our product uses, develops and challenges forms and conventions of real media products. We based our discussion off of the research we conducted prior to planning and constructing our product, and considering inspiration we took from these music videos we researched. There were also instances where we challenged the most common conventions of music videos, as discussed in the clip which we filmed on an IPhone 7 camera and embedded into this post.
