Magazine Advert Analysis

This is a magazine advert that we analysis of Kasbian's new album. 

This helped in the research of our advert as we know now that we have to include our record label, release date, name of the album and reviews could be put on the advert to attract even more of an audience. 

This advert used a variety of font sizes and different fonts, it also used a variety of colours which made it appealing to the audience. They also used an image that could be controversial, so this makes people reading the magazine wonder what it is advertising.

Album Title

We have created this wordle at a brainstorm that we both did on the ideas and associations from our song. The words that we both came up with come through the most in the image showing the importance of this. The words that we are going to use to help us to create an album title are; Insecure, Opposites and Drop.

Soulwax Nite Versions album

Recreated verison

We were practising using Adobe Photoshop, and we tried to recreate the Soulwax Nite Versions album. As it was our first time using photoshop we thought we done a pretty good job of trying to recreate the album.

The original cover that we tried to recreate is from a rock band called Soulwax wax, their many focus in their music is the instruments they play. The genre of the rock band comes through the album cover, as the lines are very electrical and can be seen as guitar strings. I find that the album is hard to look at and the writing in the background is hard to read unless you focus on it strongly. I think the band did this on purpose as they like to focus more on their instruments than the lyrics they are singing. Whereas i feel that the colours used, white and pink, could be controversial as rock bands don't really go for bright pinky colours and more neutrals and darker colours.

Our recreated version, we used Adobe Photoshop, we first put the text on the background in white. then we produced another layer and put the stripes on, it turned our pretty good. When we first tried to recreate this on Photoshop we found it really difficult as it was a new software to us and we had never used it. Once we had watch a few youtube videos about it and was playing around with all the tools on photoshop it got a lot easier.

Radio 1 Chart and MTV Awards Research

Radio 1 Charts

From looking at the Radio 1 chart, i have found that most of the songs in the top 40 our of the indie pop or Rap/Pop genre. i feel that because our song i in a similar genre as of most of the songs in the top 40 our song may become popular with this audience as it is of a similar genre and music taste.

This helps in our research and planning as this is our target audience and helps us base our song on the charts. I also looked at the Indie single top 40 charts, this showed me that most indie songs that are popular at the moment are
















MTV Awards

From these results I can see that majority of the nominees and the winner of the best video of the year are from the performance or spectacle genre. This shows that spectacle and performance are the best genres of music video as they engaging with the audience. 

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood music video uses a lot of clever camera angles and special effects. The genre is image and spectacle, I think the Bad Blood music video won the video of the year as it had a lot going on and kept the audience gripped, it also starred a lot of well known celebrities making people want to watch it again to spot the famous people for example, Ellie Goulding. 

The winner of the best editing was Beyonce '7/11' This video features many creative shots making the video very interesting when the location is only a hotel room. The editing is face pace and in time with the beat, i feel like this is very effective. I would like to use this in our video as i feel that it is very effctive and editing to the beat of our music could add a lot of interest and appeal in our video.
