Comparison between magazine adverts

In this post I will compare my magazine advert to an actual advert featured in a magazine. As you can see there are many similarities. These similarities include the name of the artist in a position which is eye-catching to the viewer and the main image of the artist on both posters has had effects put on it to show no dead space in the picture. There are however some differences, these differences include comments by professional newspapers and magazines and places where you can find Tinie Tempah's album and information about the artist which are included in my advert but not in the other.

Positive aspects about my advert include the effects placed on the main image and incorporation of places where someone can find information about the artist which links to the website which another group member is creating. The negative aspects of my advert are that I have not included a picture of the actual album which is shown in the other magazine advert and the effect which I have created is not shown in any of the other ancillary tasks which shows that they are not as linked as some other tasks which our group has created.

Comparison between consert tickets

In this post I will make comparisons between my ancillary consert ticket and an actual ticket from London's O2 Arena. As you can see from the images above I have tried to follow the codes and convertions of a consert ticket by useing the real O2 ticket as a template to make my ticket look as realistic as possible. Similarities include a key image of the O2 Arena and a font however there are also differences which include an actual picture of the artist shown on my own consert ticket as well as a unique starry background to show consistancy of my ancillary tasks.

The positive aspects of my consert ticket include the iconographical starry background to compliment the name of the tour however a negative aspect of the ticket is that it does not contain as much information as the actual consert ticket such as numbers and codes.

The Storyboard

 This post will include the storyboard which I and the group created before putting together the video. this includes a variety of shots and includes the elements of a rap music video. It includes the rapper Tinie Tempah and vocalist Eric Turner.

Tinie Tempah sell out Tour

Not only has Tinie Tempah's music gained him a Brit Award or two, but now it has gained him global recognition! Concerts in Liverpool, Glasgow and even London's O2 Arena have sold out due to Tinie's UK success. This recognition has landed him into The USA where his single "Written In The Stars" has featured in the Top 20 Music Charts, which has caught the eye of Lucozade who have chosen him to advertise sports drink Lucozade Sport where he performs "Simply Unstoppable" (a song from his hit album) alongside Blink-182 Drummer Travis Barker and World Champion Boxer Katie Taylor!          

Audience feedback

To get an example of what particular audiences thought of our video we showed peers, teachers, some year tens and elevens and year twelve media students the video. The video was praised by most viewers but criticisms showed that a certain piano shot did not reflect the genre of music as location was poor. After taking these into account we decided to re-shoot and add in a shot of Tinie in a music studio.

As you can see from the picture above this fitted in much better with the genre and mise-en-scene of the music video.

Comparison of tour posters

Above is an actual tour poster from Tinie Tempah's Tour and my final Tour poster which I created myself. As you can see I have tried to follow the codes and conventions of a Tinie's tour poster. There are elements of Tinie's tour poster which I have not included but there are elements which are not included on Tinie Tempah's. Firstly Tinie's poster not only includes the Venue's listed and Dates but also includes information about the venues such as their numbers so you can ring up and book tickets however my tour poster includes a website where you can not only find information about the tour but also info about Tinie Tempah himself on the official site http://www.tinietempah.com/. The are some similarities between the posters however, for example both posters have a main image of the artist and include support acts also performing on the tour but my tour poster however includes a picture of the support act.   

Style Guide and Fonts used

Between my group and I, we have certain styles which we have used. Our Group are trying to stick to certain colours which are black, purple and yellow as it resembles space and stars. There is also a main background which the group are useing which is shown below. The two main fonts that our group are useing are Action Force for the Tinie Tempah's name and Bauhaus 93 for the Disc-overy album name, both are being shown below.
