Research:Lyric Deconstrustion

These lyrics show how the male finds the girl who he is with amazing and he doesn't deserve her because she is too good for him. It also shows how he finds himself uncontrollable when she touches him. these lyrics aren't really are pretty self explanatory and don't need much explanation, there isn't much hidden meanings in the song lyrics.

Also as part of Goodwin's theory is that there is a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. in relation to this theory, I am planning on relating different parts of the lyrics with image and shots that help portray what the lyric is trying to say. Lyrics that I planning on doing this with is:

"Your eyes, those curves" for this image I am planning on a close up of the actresses eyes and then a zoom out to see her whole body.

"If I could be your superman" I am planning to use an image of the artist in a cape (being superman)

"You walk my way" the actress will be walking toward the camera as a point of view shot.

For the last "I hope you like me as I am" I am going to have a shot of the artist taking of his cape and dropping it on the camera to show how he isn't superman and is just a normal person.

Reflective analysis of brainstorm, pitch board and directors pitch activity

From my pitch board it helped me to write down exactly what my idea for my project is and where I am hoping to set it. This helped me to understand where it is that I want to film, and it’s helped me work out how long it would take me to film and any other constraints that may prevent me from being able to shoot my music video.

For my brainstorm it made it obvious for me what props I need to organise and what shots that I was thinking of doing. It also pin pointed my exact thoughts and ideas and made it obvious to see what exactly I wanted to include.

For my pitch board, it made me think about Mise en scene and what sort of imagery I want for my album cover and for my advert. Also it made me more creative and made it easy for me to see exactly what I wanted to include and what sort of shots exactly I wanted, this was made easy by imagery.

Analysis: Brainstrom for music video

This is my brain storm for my music video, it has points of what all aspects of the business from the Mise en scene to the location. Although some of the ideas are a bit vague at the moment it shows how i have continually progressed my ideas.

Analysis: pitch board

Here is my ideas put more simply into images, onto a pitch board.

Analysis: Directors pitch activity

1) Ideas for the video concept.

The concept of the video will be to portray the lyrics of the song. This will be done in a romantic setting on a green hilly ground. There will be the artist longing over a girl who is walking near hime. There will be also a contrasting set of shots where the artist is in some sort of superman costume on top of buildings. This will also link in with the images of the album cover and advert.

2) Intertextual References

The only intertextual reference there is within the music video would be the shots of the male in a superman costume relating to the lyrics. Also the audience are supposed to be able to relate to the relationship between the couple as being a new and loving relationship.

3) locations and special features

The location of the music video is to be on a green grass hilly ground, and will also be some shots on top of a low building.

refelctive analsys of initial album and advert ideas

Initial ideas for album cover
For the initial ideas for my album cover front and back, I thought long and hard what sort of image I would use, and decided that the best sort of image it should be. I decided that the best image for my front cover would be strong image of the artist face with him looking mysterious and intense at the person looking at the album cover. For the text I think it should be strong bold and relate back to the colour of superman i.e. red.
For the back cover of the album I am planning of having an image of the sky with the artist at the side so the song titles can stand out from the back ground.

Initial advert design
For the initial advert design there are two sorts of layouts I could go for, I could either do an advert to advertise the new release album or an advert to advertise the tour that the artist is doing. For my initial idea I used the advertisement to advertise the new album release. This has made me think about what sort of advert i want to create. i have decided to do an advert on the album realise this is because my artist isn't big enough to necessarily have any sort of tour.

construction: Initial Advert design

As well as the album cover I will also need to make an advert for the release of the album that I will make for my artist. After analysing Olly Murs advert I have created a mock up of an initial idea of what I would like to create for my advert.

This is the initial advert that I have made for promoting the release of the album of my artist. I have decided to put the cover of the album on the advert as a way of people being able to recognise the album if they saw it. I have also chosen the image as I feel it is a very strong and relate to the album name of Superman as the artist in the advert is wearing a red cape which is is associated with superman. Also the way the artist is wearing the cape with casual clothes shows of his good personality and how funny this artist is.

Construction: Initial album cover designs

As part of my course work for my A2 media, I have to create an album cover and back cover. After analysing the some album covers I have created a first draft of the kind of album cover I want to create and what images I need to take to create the album cover i want to.

This simple cover is the first idea that I have for the album cover. As my artist is a new artist, his album cover needs to have a significant presence of the artist on it. I like this type of image as the artist looks good and attractive and also because it is a close up shot of the artist and is a very simple image. I also like the way the image links into the album title as the artist is wearing a superman t - shirt witch links in with the title 'superman'.

This is the back cover for the album that I want to create. I really like the image for the back cover as it really resembles the title if the album 'Superman'. The image is so simple but effective to portray the image of the album. Before i create my final album back cover i need to analyse some back cover because I am not completely sure what needs to go on the back of a cover. but i feel this initial idea is a good place to start.

Advert Analysis : Olly Murs

As part of my A2 media course I have to create an advert as a source of promotion for the artist that I am creating. In order to build successful knowledge on how to create a good promotional advert I am going to analyse what is put into adverts of artist that are similar to the artist I am going to create. This one is to advertise the release of Olly Murs single called 'heart skips a beat'

The picture used in this advert is used to incite the audience for Olly Murs. Olly Murs target audience is teenage females. This image of Olly Murs is mysterious and soldering. This is good because young teenage girls like mysterious and soldering males; this is a good way of keeping Olly Murs’ target audience involved.

Also the use of the arrow in the advert, direct s the audience’s attention back to Olly Murs. This shows the audience of Olly Murs how important he is in the making of the music.

The autography looking writing by ‘Rizzle kicks’ is a way that the advert makes the audience feel more special to Olly Murs and Rizzle Kicks. This is done as the autograph would make the audience feel as though the advert is for them and them alone. This is a good way of Olly Murs making his fans feel special and needed.
