As well as our music video in this project we will produce an advert for the album. To do this i am looking at past adverts that will hopefully give me some ideas as to what i want to with my advert.
This is an advert for The Stone Roses album that has been remastered for the its 20th anniversary. It has features that you would expect from an advert, it has ratings and quotes from different respected magazines and newspapers. it shows the original album cover from 20 years ago in the advert.
On the album cover it shows 3 painted rectangles in the order Red,white,blue.
And this theme is continued throughout the advert. The quote from all of the reviewers is in red at the top, then the rating in white in the middle, and then what newspaper or magazine in bluer at the bottom. This is very effective in this advert.

This is an advertising poster for Alter Bridge. This is a different advertising poster because it is advertising a new album rather than a new tour. They keep with the conventions of a rock band with them all being dressed in black and wearing jeans. Also Tattoos are connected with this genre of music because it shows a rebellious side of the band as most rock bands have. It shows a regular 4 piece band all looking at the camera, no sense of a smile, just shows they mean business. They have kept the same font for ALTER BRIDGE throughout their career so people immediately know who it is and can relate it straight to them.
This is an advert for a Kings Of Leon album. It shows the album cover as the main image for this advert. it also has tracks that are featured on this album and the release date as well.
By looking at these adverts it has given me a good understanding of what i want to do when i have to produce an advert. I want to keep a colour coordination right throughout the advert. I also want to have the genre colours which are dark colours like black and navy.
Only the last advert is relevant to what you have to do, so i'd probably delete the other two examples! You need to list the key features that an album advert has to have and what this does beyond the picture of the album and date format which can be a bit lacking in creativity....
ReplyDeleteYou may want to introduce this by stating that you will produce an album advert later on and need to know what this entails. End by commenting that you will use this later on to develop your own product.
ReplyDeleteThis is much better now that you have got the focus right - well done! Possibly think at the end whether you want to feature the album cover in some way or at least reference it in the images somehow?
