Whilst filming I will take pictures that can appear on my digipak and advert. I will need to take at least 4-6 pictures for my digipak depending on whether I will make a 2 piece cover or a 3. As the magazine advert will be to promote the digipak, the picture used in the magazine will be the same (or similar to) as the front cover of the digipak to allow consistency for the consumer.
Although these two examples aren't aimed towards my target audience, I thought I should look at a varied amount to get an idea on how to layout the advertisement in relation to the digipak cover.
Although these two examples aren't aimed towards my target audience, I thought I should look at a varied amount to get an idea on how to layout the advertisement in relation to the digipak cover. From this first example the digipak and the advert are very similar. Although the writing is a different colour
in each, such as the white 'The Killers in the advert whereas the digipak has pink, the colours are the same (the first image is a little discoloured). The design of the album implies a fantasy feel from the bright colours but also fire, or some kind of destruction, might be suggested from the orange at the bottom. The idea of a fire could then create the idea that the album is about paradise being ruined, perhaps.
Plan B's magazine advert 'The Defamation of Strickland Banks' has similar aspects to the album cover, for example, the red writing and the darkness around the individual. The two have a theme of stage performance, such as in the advert the individual seems to resemble Elvis Presley from the mic that was used mainly during the 1960's and the clothes. Also in the album cover their is an individual with some implication that they perform. The single light on the man with the darkness around him suggests isolation and a sadness to the album. The name of the album is on a board used for theatres with ties in with the idea of the album being about a performer.
After looking at these two examples, I have seen that I need to select a running theme between both my digipak and the magazine advert. From The Killers example, I can consider making my subsidiary tasks very similar and just add the details of it being a new single to the advert. However, I could also select a theme, like implying the album is about a performer in the Plan B example, to put in both my tasks. I think I prefer the idea of having a running theme but I think I will look more into it once I have taken some pictures whilst filming.
Well done, Kyra - this is the start of some great planning. The key now, is to translate this in to your filmed project.
ReplyDeleteYou have already decided on a style and feel for the vid, now bore down in to the specifics. For example, try and be more specific with what shots you are wanting to use in your vid to create specific effects, eg when would you be wanting to use a close up? What colours and tints do you want to use to create a specific feel or mood?
