Introduction to Production

 Diesel Only The Brave Wild

Short Pitch:
Our adverts were on the men's eau de toilette Diesel Wild. It is a spray that is part of Diesel's Only The Brave collection. 
The adverts we created would be designed for magazines and social media, that way a wider amount of people will be able to see these adverts in different locations.
The slogan 'only the brave' suggests to the audience that only daring people will buy and wear this product. The target audience for this product is people who like the outdoor lifestyle and being out in the wild. For our adverts we took a lot of inspiration from the likes of Hugo Boss and Dior, as they use bold logos and slogans with a striking image to go with it.

Evaluation and improvements:
There are certain conventions in which worked well in our advert. For example, by keeping the copy of our advert to a minimum, we are assisting the audience to keep their focus more on the actual product.
The layout for our advert is again simple but effective. By using a close-up image of the product, we are keeping it the main focus. We then placed the brand name and slogan around it, in very bold typography. Another thing we took into consideration when creating the advert is the colour coordination, more specifically when choosing the colour of text by matching it with the actual colours of the product.
The slogan 'only the brave' is an effective use of persuasive language that almost forces the target audience to be of the daring kind. With the product designed to look like a grenade,  it also conveys the idea that the target audience for this advertisement is for people in the military.

Story-boarding: Introduction: The introduction to my music video will be set on the beach in the evening. The first shot is a birds eye view of the sea crashing on to the beach with words like the artists and the song title. It will turn in to a series of shots of exoctic places and activities in different locations , to go with the 'live in the moment' type story. During the song, there are parts where the voice is the main focus. This is where I plan to have extreme close ups of lips miming the lyrics of the song. This will not only show a variation in shot selection, but will also make a connection between the video and the song. The storyboard sketches are just some ideas that I have in mind, but might not make it to the video. All the shots in the photo are inspired by other dance music videos that have a similar atmosphere that I want to partially replicate.

The Big Issue - Front Cover Analysis

This cover of The Big Issue has an orange theme to promote the new film T2 Trainspotting, even the logo has changed which they usually keep black and white. Also, their masthead is very different to other magazines as it does not spread across the whole cover and so they have the option to move it around. In this case, they placed the masthead in the top left corner so that it does not affect the image. For this cover they also used a pull quote as the main cover line with a bright orange background which will attracts the audience's eyes to it first. The next thing that pops out to the audience is the black and white picture of the four main characters of the film. They have used this effect to represent them as being old-school, as the first Trainspotting released in 1996. The magazine features the usual release date, price and magazine sell line. These appear on every Big Issue magazine, however it does not need a bar-code as it not sold in shops where it need to be sc...

Evaluate My Initial Footage

Framing -  We think that our shot is framed well. Our actor is in the centre of the frame and the backdrop is fairly accurate against the original. Our shot could be improved by having the actor further away so that he is smaller in the frame and his knees are at the bottom. The professional shit is successful because it has a good use of contrast with the shadows and the outfit is clearly shown with a contrast between the shirt and skirt. Lighting -  Our lighting works fairly well, however it is slightly brighter than the original. We relied on ambient lighting which may have been too harsh with the halogen lights. The original appears to have relied on ambient lighting of the sun fairly late in the day through a window. The professional shot may have used their lighting in order to make the subject stand out by making the background darker. Mise en scene -  Our costume is fairly close to the original with the skirt and check shirt. The shirt ...
