Comparison of Video and shots used

In this post I will compare the music video which our group has made with the actual video on which we based ours upon. I will evaluate the variety of shots which were included in both videos and why we chose them.

As you can see in these two shots both include a long shot, an establishing shot and an urban background which fits well with the genre of music which we have used. This shot includes the artist looking towards the background, the shot in both videos is used nearer the start of the film which is used to set the scene for the rest of the video.

In these shots we see a close up of the the artist of the song, we can see an urban sort of background in the video which we created but in the actual video we see a hallway. Although the backgrounds are very different the artists are left justified and the shots are pretty similar which is what our group was aiming for.

In these two shots we see the artist in an urban background again, but we can also see that there is a slight difference in the backgrounds. This difference is that in the shot from the video which we created, we see more of a graffiti scene which fits in with the R&B genre, whereas in Tinie Tempah's video we see him rapping in a playground which is the scene where the child gets bullied.

In these two shots we can see an extreme close up of the piano which Eric Turner uses. Filming from this angle shows a very iconographical shot where we actually see the piano being played, this sort of clashes with the R&B genre but somehow makes the video more unique. The actual video does show the piano but Eric Turners hands are more out of focus which adds depth to the shot which would have been a good idea to put in our video.

In these two shots we see the main storyline of the two videos which are both the child being bullied. In our video we see the child being pinned against the wall where as in the actual video we see the child's work being destroyed by the bully. Our video shows a long shot of the bullying where you can see the the physical impact whereas the actual video shows a mid shot which shows the childs expression as his work is destroyed.

In these two shots we see close ups of Eric Turners face. These shots aren't centered which make the video look more dynamic in a way as they focus on the singer and the background isn't as imprtant and dignified.

In these two shots we can see the expressions of the childs face using a close up. In our video we have also used a high angle shot to show sadness after he is being bullied whereas in the actual video this clip is used towards the start where as the stroyline expands it shows why he looks so sad.

In conclusion I can see that the video has taken time to create and it has not been easy. We as a group have tried to stick to the story board but some shots and storylines have not completely stuck, but as a group I think that the video project has been quite successful.

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!
