Statement of Intent

Website

The website will be subject to change as I will want it to compliment the music video. For instance, if there is a particular shot which looks good in the video, I would use it for the background of the website. However, I want the website to have bold fonts and bright accent colours, or white depending on the background image. I want to have an image of the DJ but not have them feature them in the video, which happens in many cases. This will hide their identity more and keep the focus of the video on the visuals and narrative, rather than the creator of the music. 

For the logo, it will mostly likely be a modern, bold font of the artist's name, similar to that of Avicii or Tiesto. Depending on the background it will most likely be white or black, to keep the simplicity I want in the website. 

Video 

The video will most likely be set at the beach and feature many people with bright summer style clothes that stand out, to compliment the song. I want the video to have some kind of a narrative, but the main focus will be on the visual aesthetics. It will probably feature lots of exotic locations and activities, depending on the song choice. Like with some videos, I want some of the editing to be in time with the music to make it seem like the video and the music have a connection and are not just two separate things. I will also have parts in the video of extreme close ups of lips miming the lyrics to again make a connection between the song and video.

The video will most likely have that typical 'live for the moment' ideology, as it shows that freedom to do what you want. This will connect to the 16-25 (A/B) target audience, as they have most likely finished school or university and have a long summer to celebrate and so they can relate to the video on more of a personal level. The video will represent the teenagers being out in the real world, with the escapism ideology. This will be shown through the exotic settings in the video. The target audience will see this as a way of escaping the stresses of everyday life.

The song I will be using is Flawless by The Ones. The song gives a very summer like, club/beach vibe many dance songs have. I have also found a font that I particularly like as it is reminiscent of club dance logos, similar to other artists like Avicii. I believe I am going to use 'Blackout' as the name because of it's connotations to partying too much etc. Before I was going to go with 'Amnesia' however that is already the name of a famous club in Ibiza. I want to have a DJ as the artist that does not feature in the video he will have a small segment in the website, similar to how most DJs are usually in the background, as they let the music and visuals speak for them.

Because we are a part of the Universal Music Group, the music video acts as an advert for the music being sold. The video will generate money from advertisements and the video acts an advert to entice people to buy the music.

My production uses digital convergence as the video can be accessed from on multiple different devices on different social networks. With the use of an Instagram profile, there can be links that go straight to the music video, that will most likely be used on a phone. It can also be seen on the website if you are using your phone or laptop, which will take it to Youtube.

Comparison of Two National Newspapers (The Guardian and Daily Mail)

The Berliner or Compact Format (The Guardian) The Guardian was once a broadsheet newspaper, also known as 'the quality press ', due to the more serious approach that it took compared to other popular tabloids . But due to printing costs, The Guardian has now took on the berliner format. Because of these changes, people have said that the ' quality press ' has turned into more like the popular press .  In the cover of The Guardian you can expect to see much more text (' copy ') than in a tabloid paper. This shows that they put a lot more detail into their splash , probably to try and keep the ' quality press ' reputation that they have. The Guardian is a left wing paper. This means that they usually represent the socialist ideology , which is supporting the distribution of wealth and resources in society. The agenda for their stories focus on economics, politics and 'hard news'. The Tabloid (Daily Mail) The Daily Mail takes...

American Beauty - Scene Analysis

Representation  Lester is represented as a submissive and pathetic person, this is shown through his hunched over posture and the way he always obeys to whatever his wife tells him to do. This is the complete opposite to his wife who is a very loud and tumultuous person. She is seen as the master at the table whereas it would usually be the father of the family. However, she has to be quite caring as she took a lot of time preparing a big meal for her family. Then there is Jane, who seems to be the most collected out of all the family, even though she is stereotypical confused and delusional teenager. Mise En Scene The mise en scene in this scene from American Beauty is used to express the personalities of the family. For instance, Lester is wearing very bland clothes, much like the interior of the house, which shows that his life is boring and repetitive. It could also show that he blends in with the house as if he is not there, which would make sense as he stated at th...

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...
