Print Advert Analysis


 Ellie Goulding's advert for the album 'Lights' uses a house style which is the same as that of her CD cover.  The fonts are consistent and so it the use of the colour gold.  There is also the use of the golden glitter effect which goes well with the title of the album.  The artist is promoted using a close up of her head and shoulders.  Star ratings of the album are used to encourage people to buy it, suggesting it is high quality music.  The dominance of the image and the central position of the artists name make it clear to the audience that she is the artist it's talking about, instantly drawing in interest from people who are already fans of her and her music.


Florence and the machine's advert for the album 'lungs' uses a main image that includes a set of lungs, providing a clear link with the album title and album cover. Along with the use of the same font for the band name, this helps to create a house style for the band.  The main image is the dominant feature of the advert, drawing in the attention of the viewer. The text at the bottom gives you extra information about the album, such as exclusive content, to encourage you to want to buy it.

Editing Update

In todays media lesson we continued to edit our music video.  We first edited in all the parts that we had specific clips in mind for and then filled in as much of the rest as we could.  We focused on making sure that the cuts in the video fitted to the beat of the music as this is an important feature of music videos.


We have now completed the rough cut of our video.  It contains a few gaps which we will need to film more performance in order to fill.  We will do this along with other changes such as effects after we have got feedback from our focus group.
