Final Magazine Advert and Analysis


The fonts I used throughout the production of this ancillary were 'Pappo's Blues Band Offical' and 'Strungout'. Both these type-faces were downloaded from the site 'dafont.com'. This site was very useful when looking for a certain and artistic text design and was simple to use as most were free to use for personal use.
I used the 'Strungout' font as it had a sketched hand-drawn style that fitted in well with the band's name 'Cinderella Score', the appearance positively portrayed how the band is within the Pop genre and is shown to be interesting and artistic. To compliment this text and carry on this sketch-theme I searched for a similar yet slightly more clean-cut type style; 'Pappo's Blues Band Offical' this had characteristics of an autograph and also gave the advert a personality and quite a professional look.

There was also a colour scheme within the ancillary products of black, white and a dark turquoise. These were chosen as they complimented each other nicely as well as the mise-en-scene of the photographs and looked effectively professional like a real media product.

qrcodeTo produce the QR code I used a generator at : http://qrcode.kaywa.com/. The URL I used was that of the music video's on Youtube.
Throught this whole production I used the software of Adobe Photoshop CS3, this was efficient and effective to use and had a quality of outcome. The image itself used as a background was taken on a Nikon D5000 camera, its composition was set to have the subject in the middle of the shot, giving eye contact to the lens and therefore attracting viewers attention.

 
Overall this product was successful and linked in with cross-media to the other products: the digipak and moving-image product.; due to mise-en-scene, location, colour schemes, subject use and fonts.

31st Jan- Images taken for Ancillary products










The location for this photography shoot was situated in the same area as the start of the music video (Rother Street) by the clock-tower. The reason for this was to create cross media advertising within both the moving-image and ancillary products.
Our initial idea was to capture a close-up of the subject's face for the magazine advert, a front-on view for the front cover of the digipak and a view of his back turned for the back cover. 

Costume use was aimed to be quite like what he will be wearing within the moving-image product; casual. 

The shoot overall was quite successful however some of the compositions could be slightly improved to allow more room when editing and manipulating for ancillary products.
