As I also have to create a Magazine advertisement for the music video/album Digipak I'm creating I conducted some research into the different styles of advertisement and the conventions that have been used. Here are some style models that I will be hoping to recreate as small tasks before I actually create our own. I have began analysing the Rihanna poster and will post and update on that in a future blog post.
As the editor it different to design and create the Digipak and Magazine advertisement. So, because of this I have been researching other album Digipak's to get a basic idea of the layout I'd be using and different designs that are appealing to the different genres of music. Below are four different examples of Digipak's, as you can see they're completely different to one another, this makes designing our own a simple task becausw we can sit down as a group and pick from one of the designs that I have found or another that maybe somebody else in the group likes the style of. I also founda temulate of a Digipak layout, which makes it an easier job for me as I can used the template as a basic layout to create our Digipak.
We decided on our group a couple of weeks ago and so far we have chosen a name, designed a logo and appointed the Roles Within The Group. I have been appointed the position of editor which entails breaking down the footage and editing it, creating the magazine advertisement and Digi-Pack. So far, I have created a brief logo, but I, in my personal opinion, don't think it fits the genre of music that we are going to represent. So I have decided to create and new one and I am in the process of doing this. Here is this logo that we already have:
A promotional package for the release of an album, to include a music promo video, together with two of the following three options:
a digipack fot the album release
a magazine advertisement for the digipack
I am a big music fan and I watch a lot of music videos, this is why I think that this task is a suitable on for me. I like to break videos down from a media point of view picking out what shots have been used and how certain parts of the video match the song used.
I really enjoy this video for 'Happy Little Pill' by Troye Sivan as its all really slow and individual.
I really like the way this video is all in reverse, which makes it stand out from other music videos. I would love to do something like this as it is very unique, and would leave a lasting image.
Therefore this is a task that I would really enjoy to do and I think it would be a success.
A short film in its entirety, lasting approximately five minutes, which may be live action or animated or a combination of both, together with two of the following three options:
a poster for the film
a magazine review page for the film
After watching these short film trailers, it seems that a lot of work has been put in to them over a long period of time. Although these are just the trailers, I have watched the full films and they seem to have really minimalistic techniques but are also very high quality films. Most short films are also over 5 minutes long and I think it would be difficult to compress a full story in to five minutes. So, therefore I have chosen not to go ahead with this brief.
A promotional package for the release of a computer/video game, include two TV advertisements together with two of the following three options:
The cover of the games package
A magazine advertisement for the game
After researching these games, 'Rise of the guardians', 'Bully' and 'Grand theft auto V', which like many other games are animated I have concluded that although the images would be easy enough to recreate the animated trailers would consume at lot of time and would probably not meet the standards that I could reach with a non-antimated trailer, so therefore I have decided against using this brief.

I am going to take these back to the group on the 16/10/14 and we will review which they think best, and best suited to our company.
