Ancillary Text - Posters

The top image is my my advert for television, magazines and the bottom image is what I would like my audience to recognize for the single. On the BBC 1 top 40 chart, there are images of the single cover, there number in the charts and details of the artist(s) and the song title. Each image is different to an album cover as this image is representing the single and this is what the bottom image is for. 

The text in these two images look to be placed behind my model however, I simply used the eraser tool on Photoshop over the parts which over lapped with my models body. By doing this I am creating realism as Lana Del Ray, and other real media texts do this. In the top image I have the date of when the new single is released, facebook and twitter information along with the Atlantic records logo and an amazon.com logo. To help me make this product I looked at the prezi file (above) which I have shown real examples. I took the line across the bottom of the page from Lana Del Ray's Poster along with the amazon logo and the simple text font from Lorde's poster - The font is not the same however the simple font context is.

Below this text you can see how I have placed my bottom image into the charts.

Like Lana Del Rey, she used different images to advertise her album over a period of time. I though about having the same cover just edited slightly. 

I created this vibrant abstract piece by simply changing the curve settings. By making it stand out more then the original could be a good way to intrigue a new audience to my product if it were real. 

I have also produced footage of my main talent throwing talcum powder in the woods to represent chaos within her mind from the drugs and drink abuse. 

I decided to produce these images as looking into my research, artists don't always have images for advertisement which are the same as the music video itself, however for continuity to be apparent throughout my work, I have included short scenes of my main talent throwing talcum powder to the floor in anger. The poses I have my model in are to represent her drowning in the sense that she is getting hooked deeper into drugs. This narrative is then turned around in the end of my video as my model will Open her eyes on an empty beach sat on an american flag which is the representation of freedom which is the connotes I wish to put across to my audience... By this I mean that my model was either dreaming or now decided to move on from the drugs and drink. I have created this narrative as I would like my audience to be subjective and decided for themselves what my music video ending represents. 

I created these images in the same way I did which my others. Use the stop healing tool and clone stamp tool to remove the stool from my images to create this effect of levitation. These photographs below are how they looked like with the chair still in the image.

Even though I like these images, I am unhappy for them to be used as an advert. I like the look of the poster I have chosen from Lorde in my research. This is of the artists face. Jodee is not the artist however, I feel to promote the single itself, this is what a picture would be of rather than the band as I have called the band "About Jodee" which then allows me to use Jodee as the face for the single.

However, as I have filmed my main talent throwing talcum powder to the floor to the drum beat from the seconds verse to the chorus, I believe that it would be good to use these images in the cd digipack.

I looked at existing posters on google to give myself some new inspiration which lead me to create this as my poster....

This was my first attempt to creating s poster for my main product (above).

I was Inspired by this existing product below

I felt that this poster from Arctic Monkeys would be the best to work from as it is the same genre of music and form so the conventions I would use in comparison are very similar however, This is for a concert rather then the album promotion.

I like this poster I have created as I am following the expected conventions of a poster by including logos from social networkinf sites, record labels,  logos for a review and how to download the album (iTunes). By doing this, I am making my work more realistic and to attract my target audience as Arctic Monkeys appeal to the same age range. By relating my product to an existing product I can compare and contrast the elements which make the product successful or not.

There is something about my poster I don't like, I'm not sure what it is, but there is am element of it which I find appealing... I think I will improve this poster when I film at Beverley swimming baths. I will be able to take photographs whilst I'm there so I could change my product if I have time to as I am coming closer to the deadline for my work. This is a bad part to my project; having to wait and organize when Jodee and the baths allow me to film as this holds me back with editing both my video and ancillary texts if I wish to use the underwater images. 

This was my second poster I created as an improvement to my first. This would relate more to my digipack as this poster is in white mostly and has the same layout on the image and the text "about Jodee" and "Underdog". By doing this I am allowing continuity through my work from the digipack to the poster. This will make my product look more realistic in relation to my main product and digipack.
