Analysis of Final Magazine Advert


Included in this advert are parts that link the new media technologies we have around us today.
These include
  • A QR Code that when scanned links back to my A2 Media blog.
  • A link to the artist's website.
I can then create screengrabs of both those sites and post them on as seperate blog posts. Also included are general album advert conventions such as
  • The picture being the main vocalist in the group
  • Title of the group
  • The date of release
  • Quotes from magazines
  • Reviews of the album by music magazines and newspapers.
The image shown on the advert will also appear as part of the front and back covers of my DigiPak. This will link back to the album adverts I have studied, such as Coldplay's Mylo Xyloto which uses the same style of colour and font on their album artwork as they do on their advert. This is done in my advert by using the main font of the band as the band logo oin the DigiPak. The other font will be used for the track listings and inside cover of the DigiPak.

Change of location reasons




After arriving in Coventry, we found the place where we were originally filming was under construction so we sourced a new location in Stratford-upon-Avon. We had done a substantial amount of filming in Coventry already and looked to find a similar location in the city. We found that a similar amount of construction and roadworks were on-going. Therefore it would've been hazardous and not practical to continue filming in this area. Therefore we started again to find a suitable location. We chose Stratford as the location because it was easily accessible to us as a group and also because of the scenery around the location. We also decided to shoot the moving image product in the day rather than at night so we could use natural daylight to our advantage and not have to worry about portable artificial lighting.
