</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Lil Wayne is known for his amazing lyrics and rapping skills, this shot emphasises his music genre; rap, as he is surrounded by women in a limo which also shows his power and wealth. He also has a 'thuggish' look which also helps to identify his genre of music. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2psm3L-KzS85MdGqaD7XxFuC0QlyvPi0wrUgEr82aoyxyq3zUUEz9xM7tbx8zj3zkf6N1eDlqQf7QPQEx5TE30jyzKQCSPe8Htwov3pcDi2qyxwJBuSGC6OXl7SIi6VtOz5Tv9xqEs_Q/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-05-11+at+20.37.07.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="132" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2psm3L-KzS85MdGqaD7XxFuC0QlyvPi0wrUgEr82aoyxyq3zUUEz9xM7tbx8zj3zkf6N1eDlqQf7QPQEx5TE30jyzKQCSPe8Htwov3pcDi2qyxwJBuSGC6OXl7SIi6VtOz5Tv9xqEs_Q/s200/Screen+shot+2011-05-11+at+20.37.07.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This shot of Twiggy has intertextual reference as one of the bandmates our video is made to look like Twiggy, we felt this had a good connection with our music.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDnViGYDEBFuBH_UfUTMwSdUjbx7PMwZM3CsVGu0RrlBvMChcm0jzje-wDCVEXlAmAqzKp1mnsb5QTluamOh7ZehN5c_lsq580_Pc9nIwTsGKfxq6Xaay7Z3mpSV1nerMPx9OIRweDE8/s1600/Twiggy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQDnViGYDEBFuBH_UfUTMwSdUjbx7PMwZM3CsVGu0RrlBvMChcm0jzje-wDCVEXlAmAqzKp1mnsb5QTluamOh7ZehN5c_lsq580_Pc9nIwTsGKfxq6Xaay7Z3mpSV1nerMPx9OIRweDE8/s200/Twiggy.jpg" width="181" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Shot 5 is from Lady Gaga's recent music video called 'Born this way.' The camera is filming from a birds eye view angle. This is a good camera technique as it captures all the bodies in this scene which also adds an effect t the video and changes it from th typical close up shots.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This shot is Lady Gaga again from her 'Born this way' video. As most of the video is dark, this shot has excellent use of lighting as we are able to see her face clearly in full colour, which also adds to her star image.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">7) A shot that demonstarte the use of mise-en-scene </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Also taken from Gaga's video 'Born this way' this shot justifies the use of mise-en-scene as her and the actor are made to look like walking skeletons. The use of make-up helps to create the image but the costume takes away Gaga's 'girly' side as a gender of a skeleton cannot be recognised easily.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">8 & 9) Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Shot 8 is taken from Britney Spears video 'Oops I did it again'. The close-up shot is typical of a pop video, it enables the consumers to easily recognise the artist as a star image is created.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">Shot 9 is from Nicki Minaj's music video 'Moment for life' again there is a close up shot of the artist but this particular shot creates a link between the lyrics and visuals as wel as music. The music sounds similar to a Disney princess film which connects with the way Nicki Minaj looks as she looks like a princess and sings "I wish I could have this moment for life" this being in regards to her bing a princess.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">2) A shot that typifies the way a record company would want their artists to be represented.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a close up shot of one of the band members this is something that the record company would ask for as it creates an identity for the artist which leads onto star image. The shot of the band member singing into a hair brush with clothes hanging in the background emphasises the age group and genre that the band is appealing too. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="165" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzd2mWcrtcXoMB6S9L3UwhFU3XHfkfRzyMUCk8-3ZgU0PU2Pq4v3e7r6ot_4Eh8M9YrrkIY2ZR1hjcHFYDijH8xQREeV-MNLT5BnqdPQbhMBc-nt4gSkcHMNKEbS1L0c1fRz9KaBF92cc/s200/Picture+4.png" width="200" /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">3) A shot that illustrates how your video uses music genre</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This close up of the whole band together is something that is consistent in every pop video, therefore I decided to incorporate this into my music video as it creates a star image that consumers can recognise. As like every pop video, star image is key and therefore the way the artists look is very important, this is easily established by using close up shots.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDsdPlgwNpbgWmwriVNILGYaEXM7iZqPfKJ8QIPPx3Zhr-MJYucqksm74lmAf69cw2vez-5wRACttSxlJVBeo95f-sueB-eosZpjzv_a2hpGm3-uMnSyuIlEucR_A4YU3ao3E-5xNnVlY/s1600/Picture+2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDsdPlgwNpbgWmwriVNILGYaEXM7iZqPfKJ8QIPPx3Zhr-MJYucqksm74lmAf69cw2vez-5wRACttSxlJVBeo95f-sueB-eosZpjzv_a2hpGm3-uMnSyuIlEucR_A4YU3ao3E-5xNnVlY/s200/Picture+2.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">4) A shot that shows an intertextual reference </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This shot was inspired by Twiggy who was a fashion mogule as well as an actress and singer. As the song is about fashion I felt that by using Twiggy as an intertextual reference emphasises the lyrics as she is best known for her modelling and fashion choice. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzY3NTS07IcKtPfOogaJLkNAKDEX_PnIRVzUZ7-p89K5AcMAXgKSXk54a5KmMRexhsW5yW9UT0vduRw84DHNj98Rnzf19Tz16iFEyDQiuosOlbKptgfID8lvgh4nPJcGiha9iuzwLM-o/s1600/Picture+3.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="167" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbzY3NTS07IcKtPfOogaJLkNAKDEX_PnIRVzUZ7-p89K5AcMAXgKSXk54a5KmMRexhsW5yW9UT0vduRw84DHNj98Rnzf19Tz16iFEyDQiuosOlbKptgfID8lvgh4nPJcGiha9iuzwLM-o/s200/Picture+3.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">5) A shot that demonstates your use of camera</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a long distance shot that we decided to use as we were able to film the whole outfit as well as the bandmate walking towards the camera. By using this shot it allows the audience to see the bandmate from a distance and feel more of a relationship with the artist when she finally walks towards the camera as if she was walking to them. For our other shots we decided film whilst having the camera on the ground as we were able to get clear shots of the shoes whilst the bandmate is walking.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8VLENO-_6-eLQ2cxUDtllXSmECSaiU2s7EH_i_ZqEePLHviXZGIXcDdh7OjYlu5X9smZQf0AuzHBFxMm3sallVwfMEvunKmREzp7tw8G0Id23j_WP_SniW1XSVjvbatFL_FzK6uMsQM/s1600/Picture+5.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg8VLENO-_6-eLQ2cxUDtllXSmECSaiU2s7EH_i_ZqEePLHviXZGIXcDdh7OjYlu5X9smZQf0AuzHBFxMm3sallVwfMEvunKmREzp7tw8G0Id23j_WP_SniW1XSVjvbatFL_FzK6uMsQM/s200/Picture+5.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This shot shows the use of natural lighting as the greenery adds to the shot making the walk stand out more. Also as the artist is dressed in black, we are able to see what she is wearing more clearly.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQhZZ76hRP8JN67gnL2vVmknBZCgki-3lntOfECRt4Bzip_kWjEdP17TTyFY5EleZ9UiR6VnYODrpAc6EcpMTclofmXXX144SdcHi38b510COLmWoNsRd_tGsDAfvkx1bOn-ZzBX-FSpA/s1600/Picture+6.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQhZZ76hRP8JN67gnL2vVmknBZCgki-3lntOfECRt4Bzip_kWjEdP17TTyFY5EleZ9UiR6VnYODrpAc6EcpMTclofmXXX144SdcHi38b510COLmWoNsRd_tGsDAfvkx1bOn-ZzBX-FSpA/s200/Picture+6.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;">This show clearly emphasises the use of mise-en-scene as the whole song and music video is about fashion, we decided to film in a 'typica' girly bedroom whilst one of the artists throws clothes out of her wardrobe. By throwing out the clothes it creates a messy room which also is streotypical for when a girl is getting ready or trying to find an outfit to wear.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtsr8WMaYIF2WHnZQapos0fc17ed33ySfTNkBWGD8SpRSN9pTd9WT7lVn9UP5yYOtddoTeS6B_8eooAw-N4jz5xqRrT5Tvt3iQDivmPWcyewTJs4TWlOLJnUnUuFKf5X5_7YaOvsjUpc/s1600/Picture+7.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="165" j8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtsr8WMaYIF2WHnZQapos0fc17ed33ySfTNkBWGD8SpRSN9pTd9WT7lVn9UP5yYOtddoTeS6B_8eooAw-N4jz5xqRrT5Tvt3iQDivmPWcyewTJs4TWlOLJnUnUuFKf5X5_7YaOvsjUpc/s200/Picture+7.png" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">8 & 9) Two shots which you feel demonstrate something which shows you have watched other music videos.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This shot illustartes that I have looked at other relating pop videos as it is a close up of one of the bandmates. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I decided to ask people in my classses which font they thought was more suitale for the genre of music and the song. Using the feedback I have recieved I decided to use te same font as i did for my band name as the font for the album cover and also the magazne advert. This will help consumers notice the band easier and also it will tie all the products together.Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-89394923294245285592011-03-06T16:47:00.000-08:002011-03-06T16:47:50.057-08:00Back Cover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL0rX4r7cXVq51QKbjzhphC9OxPjZi0_ZPb79q38-e_VGYuPlW_7AQ_Zps1lNdat9DvjMLaWQCP2i_3ZjJIkuElLx7WNHTj9sfWp7WGN12UGQmNF72FCsYpLo2HmjLj1QD1Fj1bpx_KiI/s1600/Back+cover+copy+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL0rX4r7cXVq51QKbjzhphC9OxPjZi0_ZPb79q38-e_VGYuPlW_7AQ_Zps1lNdat9DvjMLaWQCP2i_3ZjJIkuElLx7WNHTj9sfWp7WGN12UGQmNF72FCsYpLo2HmjLj1QD1Fj1bpx_KiI/s320/Back+cover+copy+copy.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I used images of the shoes which feature in the video of 'fashion' as this is the bands debut song it will be easily recognised and noticable.</div>Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-4128903769437915582011-03-06T16:46:00.000-08:002011-03-06T16:55:38.632-08:00Front Cover<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ865y1LlO0cfnUzt5wvSwcRrIbXkwweWItCt_4VtaFbQti8UlQZCfy7Euu0G9ZwyVeAzjhvSuieuqTHDZ9qMjQcuiN8mjksHov9cp82AjbG1IeEVbGgbhNNkanDql9a6ASTM2Mv59bBE/s1600/Front+cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ865y1LlO0cfnUzt5wvSwcRrIbXkwweWItCt_4VtaFbQti8UlQZCfy7Euu0G9ZwyVeAzjhvSuieuqTHDZ9qMjQcuiN8mjksHov9cp82AjbG1IeEVbGgbhNNkanDql9a6ASTM2Mv59bBE/s320/Front+cover.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the front cover of my album.

I decided to use a red background to tie in with the bands name and kept the name simple with black and white in order for it not to be over the top.</div>Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-46135409589036010832011-03-06T16:43:00.000-08:002011-03-06T16:43:39.262-08:00Inside left<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp4DopazO5TuMfAkRSSfuqJ3SGzmUeEToJDBtq-EwpIsbqOaAlETGJsvtSxWGIDaPe2kqfl8EP0iDC36i-CAy-f2QdaKBQxaqXddU2JSIHsGiDoYrAYH1wpz64zkls1jGm1_Mow03maj8/s1600/inside+rght.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp4DopazO5TuMfAkRSSfuqJ3SGzmUeEToJDBtq-EwpIsbqOaAlETGJsvtSxWGIDaPe2kqfl8EP0iDC36i-CAy-f2QdaKBQxaqXddU2JSIHsGiDoYrAYH1wpz64zkls1jGm1_Mow03maj8/s320/inside+rght.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is the inside left of my album.

I wanted to use similar images from the video in order for my whole product to tie in together and also for it to be recognised easily. I wanted to use images tht tied in with the colour scheme of my album and also ones that were fun and stand out. Before making a final decision i wantd to gather some feed back from possible consumers. I asked which of the following 4 images worked best together and several people said the first two shots were more fun and catched their eye. Also because they had been edited and had an effect on them it also added to the band name and also music video as well as the name of the song. <br />

The album cover features pink lying down on what seems to be a couch with graffiti on it. We get a close up shot of the artist as she lies down with her name ‘P!NK’ written in bright pink at the back. Pink is a different type of artist as we can tell from the way she spells her name and also the irony of her name and the music she creates. Pink can be seen as a ‘boyish’ artist who dresses in baggy clothes and likes to ride motorbikes although she has a name like pink which is also her hair colour. The album title is spelt ‘Missundaztood’ rather than misunderstood also this is ironic with the way the word is spelt as it can be misunderstood. We get a sense of a graffiti scenery as the title of the album is written as if it was graffiti on the sofa and so do the other words around pink. Her hair colour is blonde although she has a streak of pink in her fringe; this is done as it goes with her name and also for her to be more recognizable and noticeable.Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-90205892223679209182011-03-02T07:46:00.000-08:002011-03-02T07:46:55.082-08:00Thinking about the target audience<div style="width:425px" id="__ss_7110099"><strong style="display:block;margin:12px 0 4px"><a href="http://www.slideshare.net/EvaBellax/rogue-traders" title="Rogue traders">Rogue traders</a></strong> <object id="__sse7110099" width="425" height="355"> <param name="movie" value="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=roguetraders-110301210134-phpapp01&stripped_title=rogue-traders&userName=EvaBellax" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><embed name="__sse7110099" src="http://static.slidesharecdn.com/swf/ssplayer2.swf?doc=roguetraders-110301210134-phpapp01&stripped_title=rogue-traders&userName=EvaBellax" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="355"></embed> </object> <div style="padding:5px 0 12px">View more <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/">presentations</a> from <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/EvaBellax">EvaBellax</a> </div></div>Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-378979114573358152011-03-01T19:42:00.000-08:002011-03-02T08:12:07.172-08:00Feed back on band nameAfter thinking of a name with my group for what we should call this group and what the album should be called i decided to ask classmates for their feedback on what they thought was more suitable for the song.<br />
<br />
I asked them 3 questions <br />
1) which name do you prefer for the girl band?<br />
Fashion Fix, Cherry.Couture, CLF (cherries love fashion) or The Cherries<br />
After asking 30 people the results were that 16 people liked 'The Cherries' as it was simple and easy to remeber. 1 person said CLF, whilst 8 people liked Cherry.Couture and the remaining 5 liked Fashion Fix.<br />
<br />
I decided to go along with the results and decided that 'The Cherries' was the most suitable name for this genre of music and the song.<br />
<br />
I then decided to ask them which of the fonts suited the name more <br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I then asked my 3rd and final question which was on the name of the album.</div><br />
3) Which one of these album titles do you prefer for 'The Cherries' debut album?<br />
Fashion Galore, Envious Eyes, Pop Control<br />
I asked the same 30 people and 23 people chose envious eyes as it features in the song whilst a mere 3 chose Fashion Galore and the remaining 4 chose Pop Control<br />

I can easily add text to images or change the colour scheme on them or even take out any background I do not need or want.

It is easy to add effects to the video clips and edit out any unnecessary parts I don’t need. I plan on using many different effects and techniques in order to enhance the quality of my video. I also want to make the video exciting by adding colour or distorting clips. As the song by Rouge Traders is very upbeat and has a fast tempo I plan on cutting the videos to make them change fast and quick in order to go with the beat and music.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">As Final Cut Express has many layers when editing material, it is easy to create different effects with the layers and also you can play it with the song to see if it works.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The programme allows us to import pieces of material that we need in order to create the video. Also by being able to export the final version of the video we are easily able to upload it to the blog and other internet sites such as Youtube for feedback.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><br />

Some independent record labels, in particular those with successful performing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musician" title="Musician"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">artists</span></a>, sign dual-release agreements (and make other deals) with major labels and may rely to some extent on international licensing deals, distribution agreements, and other arrangements with major record labels.

The largest four record labels are called ‘Major Labels.’ Since 1988-2009 there has been a change in these major labels. It first began with the ‘Big Six’ consisting of record labels such as Warner Music Group, EMI, Sony Music, BMG Music, Universal Music Group and Polygram. Over the years this has decreased to just 4 labels now being called the ‘Big four.’ Till today the big four record label groups are Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment, EMI Group and Warner Music Group. </span></span><br />

Her first album ‘Music of the Sun’ uses the conventions of an album cover having used a simplistic colour scheme which also featured in her song <span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;">"<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pon_de_Replay"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Pon de Replay</span></a>." We get a close up shot of Rihanna gazing straight at us, from the album cover we do not know what is to come from the artist this is created by the imagery used as Rihanna poses with a ‘mysterious’ sort of face, this emphasises the fact that she is a new artist and we can never predict what will be to come, this indulges listeners as they are excited to hear what is next. Her name ‘Rihanna’ appears at the top left hand conrner of the album cover in a different colour scheme to the one used on the rest of the album, this is done in order for the image and the artists name to stand out and be more noticeable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="EN" style="mso-ansi-language: EN;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rated R was the fourth album to come from the singer, looking at her first to the fourth there is an overwhelming and dramtic change to her image and possibly music. The album cover still has the conventions of an album but the colour scheme is dark and dull. Rihanna poses different as to that of her first album as here she is in a moody and contemplative pose, wearing a leather top with her hand covering her right eye and each finger wrapped in an intricate set of rings. The image was taken by fashion photographer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellen_von_Unwerth"><span style="color: windowtext; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;">Ellen von Unwerth</span></a> who stated that "Rihanna was looking to create something a bit new for the look of the album.” Unlike all the other album covers ‘RATED R’ does not feature Rihanna’s name on the album cover, this could possibly due to the fact that the imagery of the album is so powerful anybody would easily notice her although the name of the album helps to understand who she is with the ‘R’. The strong image on the cover instantly gives away the sort of music which is to be expected in this album as at the same time there was the controversy of her abusive relationship with singer Chris Brown. The album shows another side to Rihanna that we have not encountered with yet, by using such forceful and strong imagery it instantly defines her and her work. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As Rihanna would be soon touring the album helped create a ‘buzz’ of what was to be expected with the costumes, background visuals and performances. </span></span></span><br />

Rihanna braced us with her red hair in her video of ‘Only Girl.’ <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Her red hair can be seen in the corners of the album and noticeably her lips are also red. Her lips are in the centre of the album cover, this may have been done in order to emphasise that Rihanna is now becoming a very successful aritst and she has the voice to speak out. The name of the album; ‘LOUD’ is also powerful as it could be said that she now has the opportunity and voice to write about things that matter to her, she does not need to create this image no more. The red in itself is loud as her prior album was black and white. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Rihanna’s name does not appear on this album cover also, as now she is a well established artist who is known worldwide, it shows how powerful and successful she is.</span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">This is the debut album by pop artist Lady Gaga called ‘The Fame.’ The album has a clear close up shot of the artist; Lady Gaga, this is done in order for consumers to understand that this is her album. In the image Gaga is wearing glasses to hide her eyes which people do in order for them to hide their identity. Gaga’s style is very unique and peculiar; the glasses she wears in the shot are also not normal everyday glasses as they have one eye covered. This gives a brief idea of what is to be expected from the album and also for future albums to come. She herself has hidden her identity and we can expect more of this in her future material. The name of the album is written in the corner of the glasses whilst ‘LADY GAGA’ is the main text on the image, the possible reason for this would be that as her face is mostly covered some consumers may not notice that this is her album, given the fact that it is her first also. The name is therefore emphasised in order for it to be more noticeable to the consumers. The use of also dark colours and blonde hair contrast and make the image stand out, as we know Lady Gaga takes her appearance to extreme levels although she has kept it simple for her first album.</div>Evehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00585719682976311521noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5559108219342749071.post-3131987529492923162011-03-01T19:17:00.001-08:002011-03-01T19:17:32.224-08:00Transformation of Komal to K-ZEE<div class="prezi-player"><style media="screen" type="text/css">

<br />
‘Teach me how to Dougie’ is the debut single from American hip hop group; Cali Swag District, the song was written by Corey Fowler, Chanti Glee and Cahron Child. It was directed by Yolande Geralds and was filmed in the group's hometown of Inglewood, California. The stereo typical view we have on music videos by hip hop artists is that they feature girls dancing in little clothing with men surrounding them. Also the video usually highlights the ‘finer things in life’ such as money, expensive cars, jewellery and big houses. Although this is not the case for the video ‘Teach me how to dougie’ instead the video has a vast amount of different age groups, ethnicities, sizes, body shapes, heights and colours. The song itself is a ‘feel good’ song where as soon as it is heard it is meant to be exciting and uplifting. The choice of using different people with different body shapes, ethnicities and some with disabilities has much kudos. The song is therefore open to everyone and anyone and does not single people out, as like many other hip-hop videos do. It also shows the multi-cultural society in which we live in today and the video picks up on this. For example at the end of the song we can see a Bhangra dance being performed, this is a form of dance that has originated in the Punjab region. Featuring the dance also opens restrictions of the song that some people may have, for example as the song is made by black African-Americans, certain ethnicities may believe that this sort of music is not suitable for them or their children to listen to but by having the vast amount of different people in the video it shows how open the song is and illustrates that it can be for anyone and anyone and not those who just enjoy typical hip-hop music. By looking at Cali Swag District other music videos and songs we have a clear understanding that they are not a typical hip-hop group and they want to be noticed for there individualism as well as for their different style of writing and creating music. <br />

<br />
In the 11th second into the video we automatically see a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals. There is a build up into the song where we see children and then adults doing the ‘Dougie’ dance but as the 11th second reaches, the camera cuts to one of the members of the group named Smoove. We automatically understand he is a part of the group as he is filmed in another location from where the dancing is taking place, this therefore emphasizes his role and distinctively points out that he is a member of the group. He then sings “They be like Smoove (what?) Can u teach me how to dougie?” as he sings the line the camera cuts back and forth to those of different ethnicities and sizes dancing to the song. As the song continues we see more and more people dancing the ‘Dougie’ when there is another visual. Smoove then sings “And for you, you, you to back it up and dump it!” as he sings “you, you, you” the camera cuts to the whole group pointing then back to Smoove pointing directly to the camera and then to him pointing at a girl who is featured next to him throughout the whole video. Smoove’s next lyric is “Put your arms out front, lean side to side” as soon as the lyric starts the camera again cuts to a group of girls doing exactly what it says in the lyrics; they are putting out there arms and leaning side to side in a dance move. As Smoove finishes his verse the chorus begins and the whole group sing “Teach me how to dougie Teach me, teach me how to dougie” we get a good view of different people doing the ‘Dougie’ dance. This allows people to understand what the ‘Dougie’ dance is as the chorus is repeated 3 times and also the same dance move is being performed. We are then introduced to the second member of the group called ‘Yung’ we clearly understand who he is as we get a full shot of him away from the people dancing and he sings “My name is yung!” as he introduces himself in the same way Smoove has we begin to realise the repetition of the video and how the next member of the group will be introduced. They all stand alone and away from the crowd as this allows the audience to understand that they are the artists. As Yung sings his verse we get an individual visual from him as he sings “So I'm on my shoulders and I take it real low Dey like "how you da dat? he can dougie on the floor!" The camera cuts to Yung ‘Douging’ on the floor which is illustrated by the lyrics. As the song comes to an end verse 3 begins although the 3rd member of the group does not introduce himself in the same way Yung and Smoove have. The third member named Jayare begins his verse without telling us who he is although we understand he is a member of the group as his verse is filmed in the exact same way as Yung and Smoove’s. Jayare stands away from the crowd and has single shots of him singing the verse. Regardless of the introduction as to who he is, because of the repetition throughout the video the audience are expected to know that he is the 3rd member of the group. <br />
<br />
<br />
The song ‘Teach Me How to Dougie’ is a very up-beat song and has a fast tempo to it. It features a metronomic and "cowbell-bolstered" beat. Pete Fraser says that the music video tends to make use of the tempo of the track to drive the editing. This is illustrated vigorously between the relationship of the music and the visuals. The video constantly cuts to the beat and has constant change. The visuals illustrate the lyrics as well as the dancing defines the up-beat tempo of the song. As the beat drops almost every time the camera changes to something new. The video also changes paces with the music as at the end when the beat is more consistent and heavy than the beginning of the song we see the pace of the dancing increase and this is also when the Bhangra dancing is introduced. As this is Cali Swags District first official music video and song the record company had to incorporate a way into the music video in order for the viewers to understand who was a part of the group and who the main people are in the video. As there are 3 verses in the song 3 out of the 4 members are shown in the music video, As each verse begins the member introduces themselves this is incorporated in the lyrics and we get a close up single shot of them away from the big dancing crowd. For the last verse which Jayare sings we are not told who he is or introduced to him, he is shot the same way as the other 2 members and therefore we as an audience have to think and understand for ourselves that he is also a member. I believe the director has chosen to do this as it would become tedious and boring to have the same introduction for all members of the group. By having Jayare not introduce himself this allows the viewers to wonder who this 3rd member might be and go on to research about the group to have more background knowledge. Without having to research them myself, I would have not known there is a 4th member of the group who is featured in the video although does not have an active part as the other members. Cali Swag District is a hip-hop group which was created in America, the image the band offer is far different from what other American hip-hop artists offer. The video in itself speaks out to the audience that they are not a typical hip-hop group who will go with the norm of a typical hip-hop video. The image they create for themselves is unique and this is also seen in their work. By being different they can attract more of an audience and people now days want to hear something different and also see something different. As this is the groups first video, it has a great impact as to what is to be expected of them as we already know they are not typical, what is to be expected cannot be predicted and this is what will attract more of an audience and fan base for them. <br />
In reference to notion of looking the one of the members, Yung is topless in the video although he does not have a ‘perfect’ body image of being muscular and well built he is of a slim sort and has many tattoos. This also in itself emphasises the fact that the boys do not really care of their appearance and will not live up to what is expected of them. Other hip-hop artists such as 50 CENT and Lloyd Banks are all well built men in which it is evident they live up to what is expected of them as hip-hop artists and men. Yung is featured topless in the video in order to ‘spice’ up the video as such but in a very mild way, also it enables him to show his personality as he has many tattoos on his body. As we have not seen him before this allows us to create an image of what we expect him to be like in future record and videos. The group itself consists of young men aged from 20-22, this attracts a younger audience and as it is the groups first video there is no camerawork, dance or costume apart from Yung being topless which imply a sexualised display. The music video for this song has to be performance-based as the song is based on a dance. The song brought the ‘Dougie’ dance to the a huge success as did similarly by the New Boyz’ with their hit “You’re a Jerk” in 2010. Critics have said that the dance is a ‘branch-off’ movement of jerkin’. Although member Smoove disagrees with the statement and stated that the group itself and the dance have a more ‘street aspect’ and while the New Boyz’ feature in the music video they say they do not consider themselves associated with the jerkin dance.<br />
