  First magazine advert idea. The image on the left portrays our first idea of what we would like our magazine advert to look like. In this idea we have decided to put a four sectioned image in the centre of the page which shows the different personalities of our character. We have also put the text around the image so the attention of each feature is equal.  Out of both of the ideas i think we are more pleased with the first idea as it is more creative and links well with our music video. Second magazine advert idea. On our second idea for our magazine advert we have decided to drawn Lorde and put her in the centre of the page with the text around the image. This idea is a typical convention of a magazine advert with a close up of the artist face in the centre of the page.

  Lorde- Pure Heroine Album  The contrast of the plain blank background with the large bold white writing on the front cover holds a theme. This album cover is very simplistic but stands out. This album cover symbolises Lorde's music as it is within the indie genre which is well known as dark and grungy. Lorde- Melodrama Album The image on the right is the album cover of Lorde's recent second album. This album cover is a lot more creative compared to her first album cover design. Researching her album I have found Lorde has had a busy few years with a lot of things changing in her life so this cover reflects the drama which has occur in her life recently. This cover also reflects the sort of songs which are included within the album telling her stories of happiness and heart break. Which leads on to the colours, all the colours included within the cover are symbols of different feelings she has gone through within the past few years. Even though this cover does not...

The video above shows our first cut of the music video, as we were not very happy with this we decided to create a new video with a new idea which i think will improve our media skills more.

All these images show how we want our music video to progress and how we want it to look like at the end. Each image has a drawn photo with an explanation of what shot it will be when we film.

The one thing I have noticed with filming this year is that we were more organised and we found it easier than filming our AS product, I think it is because we knew what we were doing as we already have experienced filming.  I think filming our music video it was a struggle at first trying to find a place to film as we thought filming in town, there was too many people about but once we got it sorted we was on a roll and got it done. New music video Due to myself and Alice starting our music video again from scratch we used a more complex idea to reach our full potential, therefore we did struggle at the beginning due to changing the idea and using a different camera but once we got started it went really well. I think the outcome of this video is going to be better than our first product we had filmed, I think this because we have used a better camera and we have been more creative with the idea w...

This image is the feedback I received once my peer looked into it and explain to strengths and weaknesses to myself and Alice. Looking into these the main weakness I concluded is that there was not enough detail within the analysis to understand what the song was about. A main strength of this analysis was that we analysed it really well and we identified the key themes well as they understood what we was discussing.

The rule of thirds The rule of thirds is a concept in video and film production which the frame is divided into nine imagery sections. This creates reference points which act as a guide for framing the image. Points of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3 of the way up (across), rather than the centre.  The rule of thirds is a theory that if you place the points of interest in the intersections, the photo will become more balanced. On the photo on the right, the wasp has been placed in the main intersection of the photo. The line of Sight Some studies have shown that people view a photo leading from the top left down through the primary optical area, down to the terminal area in the bottom right. The primary optical area is an the main focus of the image whereas the terminal area is the last thing a persons eyes views.
