(Post 52) Final Ancillary Task 2

poster


This is the final outcome of our album poster. For the background we used a photograph of the two girls standing in front of the sea with the focus on their hands which we also used for the inner panel of our album cover. Even though you can't see their hands we liked that your could see the flowing hair in the top right-hand corner. The hair links with the image which we inserted in the middle of the poster. We used a similar photograph to the one we used in our album cover, however this one is brighter and focuses more on the lighthouse in the background. We selected the image in a circular format which we inserted onto the poster three times in different scales and with a lower opacity of about 23%. The biggest circle is rotated by 42 degrees and the middle circle by 90 degrees. We found that this gives the poster an interesting aspect and illuminates the image in the middle from the background. On top of the middle photograph we added the title of the album and the artist's name in the same font as on the album cover. To keep it simple we added the release date underneath the circles in a simple font and the logos of Apple Music, iTunes and Spotify for promotional purposes. The final feature of the poster is the transparent border around the edges which gives it more depth and also links with the album covers

(Post 15) Ancillary Task 1 Practice

Image
We were given a task in groups of 2/3 to create a film poster in response to a ready made one from a previous film. Our poster was Rocky V: (this is the original) The one we made: We took some photos of Luke in the same position as the man in the Rocky V poster. We took a wide range and then selected the 2 most similar ones to the poster that we were given. We then moved them over to Photoshop and layered the two images over the top of an American flag, which was as similar to the original poster as possible. We then cut around the full body image, in order to get rid of the background of that photo in order to place it on top of the American Flag. Then we added the close up image of Luke behind the full body image. we put it all together, and in the end became a successful poster.

(Post 22) Forms and Conventions

Image
The forms and conventions of a professional music video include many different aspects of video making which we'll try to conform to, but also challenge in some areas. In terms of camera angles, professionally made music videos tend to use a range of different shots such as close-ups, long-shots and mid-shots which all help create emphasis on the singer or band, the location they are in and the emotions their song is trying to bring across. Camera movements such as tilts, pans, tracking an crane shots all help follow and trace the artist. Most music videos have the performance of the artist as the main part of the video, sometimes a story is added to the performance, either enacted by an actor or the artist themselves. The transition between storyline and the performance of the artist is often created through the use of jump cuts or fade and dissolve effects, which allow sudden changes from one scene to another. Besides the filming and editing techniques, miss-en-scene is a h...
