Audience Feedback

Our video is finished and now we want to show it off to people.They are many ways of getting audience feedback. For example having a focus grup, going on Survey money, having an ordinary questionnaire. An easier and trendy was would be posting it on popular social networks such as Facebook or Twitter.

  


As i do not have facebook, i have kindly asked Chanel to post the video onto her facebook and people can comment on it saying whether they like it or not.



Chanel said that most people said the song was catchy and the music video suits the song perfectly. That is exactly the response that we wanted.

February Half Term :)

After the term i am going start focusing on my exam in June.
Be back soon :)

MAGAZINE ADVERT COVER

We finally finished our MAGAZINE ADVERT. As a group, we had to think of a creative and the best way of creating our magazine advert. We thought of Photoshop. I have heard of it before, thought it had something to do with photos, i was kind of right. Photoshop is a software for creating and experimenting photos, this include people make photos 3D..motion graphics editing, and advanced image analysis features. As you can see below this is the outcome of our final magazine advert which was used by Photoshop.

Process for copying images on to magazine advert

We learnt that in order for us to get an image like the rating stars/ hmv logo and itunes icon to move from google onto our magazine advert, we had to save the images on to the desktop by print screen the images using Cmd, shift and 4 on the imacs. We then opened the images on to different layers on photoshop so that we are able to open them independantly and pressed a dragging tool to highlight the image, then cmd and c to copy the image, we then pressed the a moving tool and cmd and v to paste and drag the image onto the magazine advert and were able to move them independantly depending on the layer that was highlighted.

Process of producing Magazine advert

These are screen shots of when we were in the process of editing our photo and making it better. Photoshop was hard to use at frist but then we got used to it, we wanted our magazine advert to look it best :)
We decided to use out album cover for our magazine advert and have all the information including: 

• the artist name
• the name of the album
• the release date
• where it will be available  (HMV) (ITunes)
• the website 
• rating stars 

We made text box's on photoshop to add the above information. Each time we added a new bit if information, we had to add a new layer so that we could move the information around independently.

Example of Magazine Adverts

The name of the artist above is RIHANNA, she is a R'N'B singer and that is her magazine advert. Rihanna chose not took look directly into thye camera, her physical apperance is to be described as vulnerbale. I personally love the fact that she is not lookin direcftly into the camera. It give the magazine advert more ummmppphhh and spice!


The colours used in Rihanna's magazine advert are similar to the colours that we would like to use in our magazine advert because our video is about love and romeance and I came up with the idea for the album coming out on Valentines day and put the date in Red. The close up mid shot of Rihanna shows that she is not dominant which is also portrayed through some of her lyrics in her songs.


In her magazine advert the RED that is used stand out and is bright, so Rihanna has inspired us to also use Red. We want our Magazine advert to be eye catching, we will also use Red lipstick on Amanda and edit it to make it look very profession-able and beautiful.




The name of the artist above is Called BEYONCE. I have spoken about Beyonce in my previous posts, as I said before Beyonce is the best example similar to Corinne Vielle when it come to sound and lyrics. The chose of colours was very clever. She used Black and white, and gold/silver. The main part of her costume is in colour, that stands out, if you look closely her eyes are in colour too. Black and white images show glamour and class. Beyonce Knowles is an inspiration to all especially women and young girls. 


For our magazine advert, we have decided to combine the two of Rihanna's colour and Beyonce's black and white to show class and glamour and power for the Red. This will definately stand out if we combine the two colours.

Time to work on Magazine Advert

After taking pictures for our Digipak, we finally made our decision on what photos we would use....

Now it is time that we started working on or Magazine Advert. I've seen a lot of Magazine adverts in the past, especially from famous Artists such as Beyonce Knowles, Kanye West and Jennifer Lopez. A magazine Advert has to PERSUASIVE in order for people to purchase the single or album. So that is what we are going to do!!

Pictures for our Digipak

As a group  we went out to take pictures of possible images that we would use for our digipak. Once the decisions are finally made, we will use a programme call Photoshop on the Imac. From there we can alternate the images to what evre we like.
