I have been in the library to print off my products label. It is not the right size to fit the product but the main focus was to design the logo. I learnt what the different printers are in the library, well I had a recap because I know which printer is which in the library from last year.
I had a look around the library to see what book or DVD I found interesting. I found two DVDS that I really liked from the shelf of DVDS. These two was Doctor Who(David Tennant) and a full DVD of Miranda series 1. Miranda was my favourite sitcom. I like these two DVDs because the covers on them are bright and colourful. I also like them because they are great programmes to watch and enjoy. I just enjoyed looking at these two DVDs the best. I would liked to have found some carton DVDS because I love cartoons so much.
Doctor Who clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cGP069GNvA
I like this clip because The Doctor( David Tennant) puts on a great accent portraying the Doctor. He was my favourite doctor because he acted a 900 year old timelord whilst adding a bit of comedy. The comedy part of this clip is the part when David Tennant says: " Do you wanna to know the best bit? This hand. Its a fighting hand(in an American accent)" This part is funny because David Tennant raises his face into a comedy motion, making his accent change to an American one.
The Library can be used for research using the computers and looking at books and magazines. It is open from 8:30-5:00. I could take 8 items out of the library if I wanted to. They have to be returned to a NCN building such as the main building, high pavement or Clarendon if you live near any of the three sites if that is easier to do.
I have also chosen a book that I thought was quite interesting and colourful. This was Toy Story because I love Toy Story. I like Toy Story because of the graphics used. The colours indicate a great start to a fabulous film that I absolutely love. My favourite character of this film is Woody because he is Andy's best friend and I love his characteristics. My favourite song from this is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMN4JZ8crVY
This is because it shows the friendship between the two main characters Woody and Andy. My second favourite song from the song series is:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ElhbTsKsros
I like this song because it expresses Jessie's (A cowboy girl doll) friendship against Woody and Andy. It is very touching and moving.
Here is my favourite part of the Miranda Series, my favourite part:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IHx5Nmx2fU(1:12-end (1:12-end is the best parts) I find this funny because Miranda adds comedy to the show. She over exaggerates ordinary scenarios making the scene too funny not to laugh at. She adds the humour to the show, It is my favourite sitcom, that is why I like it. Miranda is very clumsiness because she falls over constantly. In this clip Miranda cant stop a drink machine after she gets a drink.

Video Production- locations, storyboards etc
Today I have wrote a proposal in my group determing what we are doing for our advert. This was an interesting task to do because it showed us how to write a good proposal ready for our advert. This also shows what sort of idea me and my group would like to use and have for our advert. This is going to turn out great because of the ideas that we have come up with. A proposal is an outline of the of the idea that you are planning to do for your final project.
The location that me and my group found was the windy stairway. This is the perfect location for my filming of the advert because of the way the stairs are. This is the best location that I found for our group ready for filming. The sounds and lighting are perfect and great quality for filming. It is located on all floors in the Adams building. This is going to be my favorite set filming because of the quality. The only problem that I found whilst filming is a tapping sound in the location. This wont affect the group advert because the sound/tapping is creepy anyway and perfect for the advert. The lighting in the location is perfect. The tripod is going on top of the stairway on the F floor because you can see exactly what is below the floor ready to film. This is the best place for the tripod otherwise there will be a health and safety risk with filming the advert.
I also had to do a storyboard as a group so each member of my group knows what they are is going to happen in each shot/scene. There is only 3 major scenes that have only been storyboarded because we only have 3 scenes in our advert. I did this online as a group because the website was a good one to use, it was easier for me and my group to use this. I managed to put the different kinds of shots into the storyboard so that none of my members forget/ so we know what the different shots we are going to use in our advert.

Product Label
I have designed a label for my product of coke to be used in my advert. I have used dark colours such as white and black because it shows the horrorness and freakiness of the label. My measurements were not accurate because it is going to be too small to go over/ around the product. I have used the dafont website to get the name of the label. This is because the website gives the best results for great freaky titles. I have added a image of a black skull because that is the product that I am going to be doing an advert on. This image is very revalant to the product. I have used some of the photo shop techniques that I have learned throughout the 2 weeks. I have not finished doing the label yet because I haven't done the nutrition or calories section yet. I have purposely left the title black and the background white because it shows the scariness of the product that I am trying to sell. The background is purposely black because that adds more horror to the product. To improve this I need to have made the measurements more accurate because my measurements on the label are not accurate. I used the internet for a size which didn't give me the best size that I needed.
First of all I opened a reasonable size for the label that I designed. Then I found an image on the internet that was suitable for the product. I chose a black skull because that shows straight away that the product is something to do with a skull. I have added a barcode because all labels use a barcode. This came from Google also.

Label for a product- photo shop
Today I have found some different fonts that I could use in my advert's design. I used photo shop to add the different interesting fonts that I found from a website called dafont.com. The different fonts that I have chosen fit my freak or unique theme product design because I am looking for a freaky logo for my design. These 5 fonts show the freakiness and horror that I am looking for. My favourite font of the 5 that have found is probably The fourth one. This is because it looks more like the horror and freak that I am wanting for my product label. The drips falling off the bottom of the letters show the horrorness. It looks like blood coming down from the lettering style which I like a lot. I think this style was blood The name Dark Skullz fits the different types of fonts perfectly, because the overall design would fir the product extremely well. This would also follow the main brief of freak or unique with the lettering being very freaky and scary. I found it hard in a way to find the best looking fonts to fit the wording because not all of the fonts were freaky looking. Some of the fonts that I wanted to look at like the different themes I couldn't because that was blocked which was annoying. The different sorts of themes would have worked well, and I think that I would have found the best fonts possible under the horror theme. I feel as though the fonts are a little too plain. This is because they are too black and white. The technique I used to put the fonts from the website onto photo shop was to print screen the font, then open it into photo- shop using a new a4 document and international paper. Then I pasted the different fonts one at a time onto the photo shop document. Next I used the marquee tool to cut out the rest of the internet page just leaving the font style. This was easy to do because it was very straight forward. I used the technique of ctrl t to enlarge the fonts before using the move tool to move the different fonts underneath each other.
Subversive advert
This is a subversive advert to do with Cancer and the apple company. It represents that when you work for the apple logo you can receive cancer. I have put a rotten apple logo onto my subversive advert to show the bad side of working for apple. The word "Death" is in red because it shows the power of death. I have put the text under the logo because the stalk of the apple logo would be covering the text. It is at the bottom of the main advert because it shows the power of the advert. I like this design because I have thought about how to put the two logos together to add a great effect showing the main advert without a paragraph of information. I have used photo shop to make my subversive advert. This is so I can get used to using different tools on photo shop. My finished advert poster.

Video Production ideas
Video Production Planning:
I have brainstormed the ideas that I am going to use to create my advert alongside my group. The product that me and my group are going to advertise is a drink. The name is going to be called dark skullz because it sounds more freaky and the original name dark souls is already a video game. There is going to be blood coming out of the mask. The objects that I was thinking to use in the advert is a toy spider because that shows some scariness to it straight away and spiders are scary so I think it is a good idea to use this. The soundtrack that would be used in the advert is : A screaming sound , a scratching sound, rain , thunder and a fuzzing light. As well as the sound effects the main music is going to be a dark music. This will add the freaky effect that is needed. The story of the advert is a ghost walking up some creepy stairs with the product in the hand. Then some-one runs across the camera ready to drink the product. The costume idea so far that I have discussed alongside my group is a black robe and a skull mask. This will add a very creepy and freaky part of the advert. The original name of the product was going to be called Van Gough but it was changed because of the artist Van Gough. I think this name doesn't sound as good or freaky as dark skullz because it sounds more of the artist. Dark Skullz brings the horror straight out of the name. The word Skullz is my favourite part of the product name because it sounds more deadly. Blood will be dripping form the mask or the drink showing more freakiness to the advert. The place in College where the advert would/planning to be filmed is some creepy stairs. This is because of the windiness of the stairs and the general fact that it looks very creepy. The only problem that might occur whilst trying to film would be people coming down or up the stairs whilst filming which could stop the filming altogether, That is the only problem at the moment that I feel me and my group will have throughout filming. I don't think there is a way to solve this problem at the moment.

I don't think there is a way to solve this problem at the moment.
video production planning
Today I have been spilt into a group for my video production. Next I had to collect all of the key skills from my group that would be helpful and useful for my video production. The key skills was editing, acting., rapping and singing. The two people which are in my group is Elliot and Pelle. The props that have been discussed to use is a mask because it would be a useful prop to use. This would work well in the advert because it would make the advert more freaky and slightly more creepy. I had to get the key skills because it would help when coming to don the advert as a group, as everyone in my group would pay a part in the video advert.
Research
The three main adverts that I looked at, that was freaky was Metz- Judder man, Zombies- Phone 4 u and baby doll- Sony PlayStation. I also found a Cadbury Gorilla Advert. I found this advert quite creepy because of the way the Gorilla just stays still before playing the drums. The eye movements on the gorilla are very slow slowing that it is slightly freaky.
1) Metz- Judderman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TUOPeNJCK8
This advert is freaky because of the colours used. I found this freaky because the way the puppet walks across the stage and turns into a man. The advert is advertising some sort of Metz alcohol. The colours used in the advert is quite dull and horror like. This grabs the attention because it shows that the advert could be haunted by the colour arrangements. The scariest part of the advert for me would be the ending part with the realistic man turning back into a puppet. This is because it seems as though the puppet was a real person al along which adds the effects of freakiness. The advert starts off with a puppet show but then turns into real people before returning to the main freakiness of the puppets. The music in this advert is more of a minor key. This shows that it is a freaky advert from the slow creepy tempo and minor key of the music.
2) Zombie- Phones4U
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrIZnC8q7RQ
This advert is advertising Phones4u. This is a freaky advert because of the Zombie that appears at the end of the advert. The colours used in the advert is a misty colour. This adds the effect that it is a haunted advert instead of a freaky advert. It uses a Zombie to make the advert more freaky. There isn't really music sound because most of the advert is screaming or talking. Towards the end of the advert the zombie starts talking about the phone as if it is a bad thing. This creeps me out a little because a zombie wouldn't normally say that sort of thing especially in an advert.
3) Baby Doll, Sony PlayStation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqkNPcUMffU
This advert is advertising a PlayStation. To be precise playstation3 . This advert is freaky because of the way the baby doll speaks in different ways. It shows that it wants the PlayStation badly. The music is more of an alien sound. IT feels as though it is a non-diegetic sound. The tempo for this advert is slow but fast. It is both because the way the doll stares at the PlayStation. The part where the doll has fire and cries at the same time with going in and out of the eyes scares me. This is because it is trying to express the fact that the baby would like the play station but cannot have it. It seems as though the baby doll has come from outer space with the different types of noises.

freak or unique photography research x1
I have found a freaky dog image that I would like to recreate. I would recreate this by getting a picture/few of my dog Daisy to mainly use. I would also take a photo of my face to add to this sort of image. I would then merge the two images together to create a good freaky image.
Composition and Framing
Symmetry and pattern. This is when the image has a pattern against it in an interesting way.
Viewpoint. View point is looking down onto an image from above.
Rule of Thirds and deep depth field. Rule of thirds is when the horizon is in the back grounded picture. The deep depth field is when nothing is blurred.
Framing. Framing is when something else is framing the main image. For instance in this photo the hole is framing part of the fish.
Cropping. This is when you cant see all of the image because most of it is cropped, taken away from the original image.
Balancing element. Balancing elements is placing your main subject off-centre, as with the rule of thirds, creates a more interesting photo, but it can leave avoid in the scene which can make it feel empty. You should balance the "weight" of your subject by including another object of lesser importance to fill the space.
This photo is leading lines. Leading lines is when the image has lines leading towards the main image or photo. This does not have to focused as long as the lines lead to the image.
Placing your main subject off-centre, as
with the rule of thirds, creates a more interesting photo, but it can leave a
void in the scene which can make it feel empty. You should balance the
"weight" of your subject by including another object of lesser
importance to fill the space.

Photoshop lesson 2
3 Ghostly images
The effects that I have used is a transparent tool, called Opacity which makes the image transparent and more like a ghost. This adds the effect that the image is a ghost as ghosts are sort of see through. Another effect I have used is a blurring. This makes the image blurry which is great when you are creating a ghost. On the second ghostly image I have purposely cut one of the legs off because it looks more effect. This is because it looks as though the ghost has lost his leg showing that there is a story behind the ghost. I have placed the ghost on the stairs because it looks like it is walking down the stairs with just one leg.
This ghostly effect can be used in a freaky image by putting a ghost on the freaky images or just half of the image.
I like Photoshop because you can do a lot with it such as editing images and making films. I find Photoshop hard because some od the things you have to do on Photoshop I find hard. I feel a little more confident with Photoshop because I have used some more interesting tools that I have never used before, and I am using more and more times.
The things that I am confident with is moving an image on top of a image. I am also confident with the quick selection tool because I have used it a lot, it cuts different parts of the image you use in Photoshop.
One thing that I would develop in Photoshop is using the magic wand tool more and more. This is because I have never used it before and I would like to get more confident with the tool which I am not as confident with yet.
I have tried to make a banner using Photoshop. This was hard for me because I didn't know how to do each step. The tutorial confused me a bit. In the end I managed to get a banner made on Photoshop after a while. The colours I have used are bright because banners are supposed to be bold and bright. I like my final banner because I like the colours that I have used. The gradient used on my banner is very colourful. I enjoyed doing this after I got the hang of it because it was fun and it looks very good once it has been done. The triangles on the banner don't look as right as they should on the tutorial because they aren't straight. This was because the tool used to make the triangles was not a straight tool but I enjoyed using the tool. I used the anchor point tool to make the rectangle more like a banner. I found this quite easy because it was quite straight forward. I used the name Unique inside the banner just to keep things simple.

Tilt and Panning
Today I have learned some more different kinds of shots such as a panning shot and a tilt shot. I have used a tripod to film the different sorts of shots for a different kind of effect. I had to do a movement painting shot which was where you don't follow the person where they walk.
Panning is where you move the camera left to right and right to left, following the person. This is a good shot because you can tell follow exactly what the person is doing which is a great shot.
Tilting is where you move the camera on the tripod up and down. The different kind of shot you can have with this is filming some-ones head-toes and toes-head. This would be a good shot in a movie because it looks as though it is a scary shot of something or someone's body.
A jib shot is where you have the tripod just on two legs at the front with the back leg down. You need to lift and pan the camera and tripod whilst doing this shot. This was a fun shot to learn how to use because it uses great effects for different shots. I had a go at getting used to this shot by lifting the tripod. I didn't have a camera put onto the tripod to test the shot out but I didn't get the chance to.
I also learnt what a steady can shot is. A Steady can shot is where the tripod is upside down, and you follow some-ones feet or body without them knowing. This is a fantastic shot to use. I think it would work well because you can grab the audiences attention by using this shot by having them follow the person's feet without them knowing it.

Working for
Apple
. employ children
. dangerous conditions
. cancerous vapors
. live in horrible conditions
. humiliating discipline
It isn’t a
good company to work for because of the dangerous conditions that the workers
have to work in. They employ children which could harm them and no-one would
employ children to work. Also it isn’t a good company to work for because of
the cancerous vapors that could kill the workers.
Car Advert- The advert is for a ford mustang. It is a major key type of
music because it is upbeat. The tempo is quite fast. The music is"how it
starts". This shows how the car works. It has a voice-over showing it is a
non digetic sound, at the end showing that you should buy the car. The audience
is for anyone who can drive, mainly adults because of the way adults like new
cars. The lyrics show that the car is the baby of the advert because it
says" how it starts" showing that it would like some-one to buy and
drive the car. The key of the music in this advert is different notes
that have been changed to rock with the guitar and drums. The drums add the
base of the music and the rhythm.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ob23cpgCcyc
Make-up advert- The make-up advert is advertising different types of No 7 make-up like lipstick, eye shadow. The song is sexy lady by Jessie J which fits the advert perfectly. This is because it shows that the make-up is meant for ladies. It is a major song because it is very upbeat. The background music adds happiness to the advert. The audience on this advert is ladies/woman. The tempo is fast but not that fast. This is because the advert does not need a very fast song otherwise it wouldn't fit the advert. It is an eye-catching advert because of the song grabs your attention. This is a pacific advert for woman and girls because it is about make-up. The key is lots of different notes.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPYqYYCVOc4
Sofa Advert- The advert is for an Ikea sofa. It is a major key but it does not sound like it. It sounds like more of a minor key with the way the tempo is used. The tempo is quite fast. It does not have any words to the advert showing that it works without words. The tempo speeds up towards the end showing that you should buy it or that it is purposely put like that to grab the audiences attention. It sounds as though the only instrument is a sort of violin like a banjo because you can hear just one type of instrument instead of more than one. This highlights that it is a very important advert. The audience for this advert is men,woman and boys and girls. The key has lots of different notes.
Own Advert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lRuiQrpXpG0
Shreddies advert. This is a funny advert because it shows two grannies knitting shreddies. The music has a major key because it is very upbeat. The tempo of the advert is fast because it shows how fast the grannies knit shreddies. The audience for this advert would be anybody because anyone likes Shreddies. I like this advert because it is funny. The slogan is the most eye-catching part. "Knitted by Nanas" This shows that grannies knit fake Shreddies to get people to buy them. I think it is a good idea to do this because it grabs the audiences attention straight away.

Photography
In todays lesson I have learnt how to use a camera and all of the functions and different buttons there is to use. I have also learnt what P,A,S and M on the camera means. It means Program which lets you select the mode of the camera, Apature which lets you change the camera setting for better lighting, Speed which lets you photo or film something which uses speed like car racing or horse racing and Manual which lets you control the camera with the different settings. I have learnt 5 different types of setting to take a photo. The five settings are : Macro which is used for close ups like bees, and flowers, Portrait which lets you take a photo of a person, Landscape which lets you tak4e a photo of something landscape like a mountain or a great view, action which lets you take a photo of something which is action like in a movie and Video which is the recording setting for a film.
I have learnt where the battery and SD Card goes in on the camera. They go in the bottom of the camera in a slot. Without an SD card you cannot save or collect your photos or recordings. Without a battery you wont be able to switch on the camera and set it up ready to use. When you have finished taking photos, you should take the SD card out so you don't loose your photos or so they can be kept safe. This also helps when someone else is using the camera so they cant steal your photos or SD card.
The flash button lets you turn on the flash when you need to use it like in the dark. Otherwise you wont be able to see your shot and photo All you would be able to see is the pitch darkness which isn't a . The flash is great because it makes the photo brighter if you are trying to capture a photo in the dark. It adds more light and effect which makes the quality of the photo slightly better than just having darkness. Without the flash then taking a photo in the dark isn't useful because al you will be able to see is the dark and not the actual photo that you would like to show. The flash would not be suitable to use near animals because animals don't like the flash. Also this is because the flash might scare the animals. You wont be able to get a good shot(photo) if the flash is on.

Different sort of shots using a camera
I have used a camera to get a feel of what different camera shots you can use to create an interesting film. Some of the shots I have tried to use and experiment with is mid shot, close-up and extreme close up. I have also learnt how to use white balance.
White Balance is where you click on manual on the camera and select the white balance button. You have to focus the camera onto a plain white piece of paper before filming in the area. Also you have to keep on white balancing every time you move to a different place when you start filming. This is so the colouring effect can work instead of clashing with other colour schemes.
I have also learnt how to set- up a tripod safely. To set- up a tripod you have to put all 3 legs down so the tripod stands. Then you have to make sure the top of the tripod is as far up as you would like it before placing the camera onto the tripod. Then you add the camera to the tripod pacifically the plate of the tripod. You do this by twisting the camera onto the tripod so it doesn't twist anymore. Then you can use the camera and tripod. To take down the camera you do the exact opposite to the instructions by twisting the camera the the other way and taking off, by lowering the stand where the camera would go and then lowering and sliding back in all 3 tripod legs so it no longer stands.
I have learnt how to use Rule of Thirds. Rule of Thirds is a grid technique that camera people use every time they film something. This is so every part that you would like in the shot is in the shot on the lines of the rule of thirds. It is split into 9 squares like a naughts and crosses board. It is a common technique to use when you are filming. I have also played around with the microphone that slots into the camera. This is very good because you can hear different sounds through headphones plugged into the camera such as background noises. I like using the microphone because you can record whatever sound you would like to record without being on camera which is quite cool. I like the technique after trying to play around with it.
Before I did all of this I researching 3 female directors and 3 male directors to put into a spider diagram. Some of the directors I have never heard of and some of them I have heard of. Most of them I have not heard of so it was weird researching stranger directors to me that I do not know. After I watched a short film called Soft by Simon Ellis. It is about these bullies who bully a boys dad. The dad is not bothered and tries to keep it a secret from his son who soon finds out and stops the bullying by whacking/hitting the main bully against the car so they would run away. I did not particularly like the short film because for me I did not feel part of the film. I found the film a little disturbing because of all the violence that went on during the short film such as hitting, shouting, banging. It reminded me of a riot with the activities some of the bullies did.
The composition was quite hard to figure out because the filming used 2 different types. One was blurry showing it was filmed off a phone which is not as good quality as filming from a camera. I found that the camera filming was easier to see from a distance because it was not blurry, it was clear to see unlike the other type of filming. The other type of filming(off a phone) was too blurry because it was filmed off a camera. I think this shows that the bullies used one type of filming to get their point across and to show that they are a bully unlike the normal filming which shows that the other characters are lovely characters. I preferred the non blurry filming because in my opinion it was easier ti understand and I could see the filming alot better.
White Balance is where you click on manual on the camera and select the white balance button. You have to focus the camera onto a plain white piece of paper before filming in the area. Also you have to keep on white balancing every time you move to a different place when you start filming. This is so the colouring effect can work instead of clashing with other colour schemes.
I have also learnt how to set- up a tripod safely. To set- up a tripod you have to put all 3 legs down so the tripod stands. Then you have to make sure the top of the tripod is as far up as you would like it before placing the camera onto the tripod. Then you add the camera to the tripod pacifically the plate of the tripod. You do this by twisting the camera onto the tripod so it doesn't twist anymore. Then you can use the camera and tripod. To take down the camera you do the exact opposite to the instructions by twisting the camera the the other way and taking off, by lowering the stand where the camera would go and then lowering and sliding back in all 3 tripod legs so it no longer stands.
I have learnt how to use Rule of Thirds. Rule of Thirds is a grid technique that camera people use every time they film something. This is so every part that you would like in the shot is in the shot on the lines of the rule of thirds. It is split into 9 squares like a naughts and crosses board. It is a common technique to use when you are filming. I have also played around with the microphone that slots into the camera. This is very good because you can hear different sounds through headphones plugged into the camera such as background noises. I like using the microphone because you can record whatever sound you would like to record without being on camera which is quite cool. I like the technique after trying to play around with it.

Freaky images using photoshop
In this image I have added an extra eye to my dog image. I have done this to get used to moving part of the image around on photo shop using different tools. It is a freaky image because of the fact it has 3 eyes instead of two. I like it because it shows some freaky icons on the image to make it seem as though it is a real image even though it has had effects added on it. This has worked well because of the eye covered in the fur of the dog. This shows that it is a new image and this works well. This has worked well because it indicates a brand new animal that does not exist in real life. To improve this image I think I should have got rid of the fur around the 3rd eye to make the image slightly better. This is because it looks too odd in a way with the fur on the blaze. This image shows the use of mixed media using photo shop. I have used tools such as clone stamp tool, moving tool. layers and free transform tool. The free transform tool lets you move parts of the image which is very useful when you want to keep the image focused and not blurred. I like this image because it shows some creativity in the image. I have tried to blend two images together, a dog and a woman but it hasn't worked very well. It hasn't worked very well because you cant tell where the woman is on the image. I think I struggled to do this part because I could not quite get the right tool to move an image onto an image. Instead of an image going onto this image to make it more freaky looking a brown smudgy line and a golden brown smudgy line appeared which was annoying because it wasn't supposed to have appeared. Also the two smudgy lines kinds of ruins the picture. It shows that I have had a go though which I think is the main point.

Advert images
This could influence my advert by the business. This is because he looks like a business man anyway. This is a Picasso image and this has inspired me. This has inspired me because it shows how successful he has been, also it shows that this character has succeeded well in his business for the product of the advert. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=picasso&safe=strict&biw=1680&bih=955&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI3eLB1eH2xwIVpGvbCh2PdAT9#imgrc=EbZdZETvI3AqTM%3A
This image is by Flavio Melchiorre. This influences my advert because it shows one type of trainers that could be used in my advert. This is because they are a different sort of trainers and the colours work well on the actual trainer design. This could be used in a future advert by using this design as the the colour are bright and eye-catching. q=picasso&safe=strict&biw=1680&bih=955&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI3eLB1eH2xwIVpGvbCh2PdAT9#safe=strict&tbm=isch&q=trainers+art&imgrc=nR_rrA_AQd45rM%3A
This image is a pop art design by Roy Lichtenstein. It has influenced me to use in my advert by the design because the colours are bright and eye-catching. It has inspired me to use it in a future design because of the dots which would work well on the design as well as stand out from the rest of the advert. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=picasso&safe=strict&biw=1680&bih=955&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMI3eLB1eH2xwIVpGvbCh2PdAT9#safe=strict&tbm=isch&q=pop+art&imgrc=v8KqXvVDjv1vIM%3A
Advertising
Task 1
For the first task I wrote down what each slogan the company
uses. This was a bit of a hard task because I didn’t know some of the companies
or slogans. Then I had to write down
what I thought each slogan meant by the words. This was quite hard because I
had to think of what each slogan meant in my own words and using my own
opinion.
Task 2
For the second task I made an Advert about trainers in a
group. I used an online Banner type of Advert. I had to create an Advert to do with an Online
Ad. Me and my group made a slogan which was called Young at heart. This means
that when young people wear Trainers they will be a business person. It was
aimed for over 30 year olds. We made our Advert short and Snappy to keep it
eyecatching, Small pictures to keep it simple, Big fonts to made it readable
and eye-catching from a long way.
To improve on my advert I would speak more on the presentation. This is because I didn't speak much and I would like to be more confident as well as get my point across. Also to improve on my advert I would try to engage the audience more with an advert because then the audience would be more interesting.
