Album advert draft

On this page I have produced a album advert for the the album of the band i made a music video for. I decided to put a filter over the original picture to make it look more mysterious and appealing to a bigger audience.

I decided not to type much on the advert as i did not want audiences to have to stop and look at it to long, I just want it to catch their eye and it to be something for them to remember and that will stick in their mind.

As you can see in the bottom left corner i used magazines and put quoted their views of the album, I decided to do this after doing my magazine advert research and I had seen this on quite a few of these adverts.

I decided to use this text as it is quite unusual to what you see on a normal magazine advert and this will attract more attention to it, creating a bigger audience.

However this does not show much of my editing skills and i would like to be more creative in producing my final album advert so it can appeal to an even larger audience and gain more publicity.

Audience profile

Whist doing my audience research i discovered that the majority of people took a liking to rock, pop and indie genres over all the others this was helpful as the music video i will be producing will be under the rock genre the majority of people who filled out my survey where 15-24 years of age.

Most of the people who took part in the questionnaire were most likely students of the college.

Audience research findings

Advert Analysis (You Me at Six "Hold me down)

On this page i will be analysing an other album advert, the reason i decided to do another advert analysis was to get more of a variation of an advert for an album so i can gather more ideas for the advert i will eventually produce for my music video.

The album advert I decided to analyse is the You Me at Six album "Hold me down" this is also in a similar genre to the one i have chose to create a music video for, so this will be good to get ideas for my music advert from as well. 

Advert analysis (Arctic Monkeys "The Jeweller's Hands")

On this page i am doing an advert analysis of an album. The reason i am doing this is because i will be producing an advert for the music video i am producing.

The album i have chose to use to do this research for is the Arctic Monkeys album "The Jeweller's Hand" the reason i chose to do this album is because it is a similar genre to the type of music i will be producing a video for.

As you can see on the advert it shows us the album cover of the album and also shows us some reviews that have been done on the album by music albums such as "NME" and "Q" the main purpose of album adverts like this are to attract a larger audience which in turn will generate more profit which id the main goal. 

This advertisement is quite smart as there is not much writing on it so people do not have to stand there and read it they can just have a quick look as they pass by and it will stick in their head and they will remember it because the advert is straight to the point. 

Mark scheme

As you can see on this page I have inserted the mark scheme for the modules I will be doing this year.

I have used this to show what i will be getting marked on and also for my own benefit to look at and remind myself what i need to do to ensure I receive the best possible marks I can.
