Dance music research

Video comparison

The Similarities between the two shots are that we both had one person standing in front of the plain background. the camera angle we used was very similar to the original A straight on wide shot showing some of the surrounding area and background. We managed to match the style of outfit that the actors were wearing as they both wore a jacket with a tie. The lighting of the shot was also all natural light like the original. the differences of the shots include, the outfit while the same style are different looking as ours used a school uniform and the original had a full colourful suit. the location was different as well as we used the wall of a school building and the original used use the fence and corner or a building in London. The lighting in both videos used natural light this was because the original was standing in front of a white building which means a lot of light was being reflected back at the subject and camera. The mise en scene for ours was slightly off as we could only...

Preliminary Production

The way i have managed to blend fairtrade and fashion is purely by the title, logo and the slogan. In a way my poster isn't successful in addressing the demands of the brief as the background or photos represent fairtrade in anyway. I think that the way my advertising campaign appeals to my target audience is by having young model and because my target audience is around 15-20 and by having young models it'll help appeal to them more and then they could imagine the clothes on them. In my original plans that were made I was going to have a group of people(taking inspiration from a vogue advert) and then that would show diversity as there would be different people with different personalities. I then changed it to just being 4 people on one poster and then 2 on the other poster, the reason for this is because I felt if there were a lot of people then there would be too much going on and then divert the attention away that it is fairtrade. The use of pho...

Pitch

My poster for my fair trade fashion brand will relate to fair trade with the brand name, slogan and the logo. On the actual poster there will be a blank background, to keep it simple and not over complicate things. The profits made from the products made will go to the farmers that helped make these products. My brand name ' égalité' which is French for 'equality' which is what fair trade is all about so this then relates to what this fashion brand is about. My slogan is 'fair trade is the fashion revolution' as a lot of brands are associated with fair trade and if they're not then the brands are making a change into being fair trade and that's where the 'fair trade is the fashion revolution.'

Statement of Intent

Image
name:  égalité (equality) slogan: fair trade is the fashion revolution logo: Photo's: 1. How do you intend to use the four areas of the media theoretical framework to communicate meaning and meet the requirements of your chosen brief? (approx. 400 words)  Firstly I intend to use my brand name, logo and slogan to express that our company are working with fair trade charities and that the profit made from the clothes will go to the fair trade farmers and charities. The idea of the poster is that the name, logo and slogan all relate to fair trade but then the photos are going to be plain and blank, but then it is also still effective and will stand out. The location of the two posters are: one in the underground stations and then another one in the train stations. The reason why I have chosen these locations is because typically a majority of the people that are in my age range for my posters typically travel a lot so to put the posters in t...
