Adversing 1Digestive 04/03/13

Week 1

We had a lecture about advertising techniques, lines, of appeal, structure and power of persuasion.
We researched a range of advert by one company for the same target audience. My  group chose John Lewis. We each analysed one advert. I did the Snowman Journey from 2012. We researched a range of advert by one company for the same target audience. My  group chose John Lewis. We each analysed one advert. I did the Snowman Journey from 2012.

Week 2

We had a lecture about audience research using BARB and ASA and questionnaires to find out about our intended audience.

We had a session of ideas generation. We had to come up with ideas to sell good to unusual target audiences (Like beer to young woman). Here are some of my groups ideas.


Week 3 & 4

We shuffled production groups around because we all chose one idea that we liked. I joined the group which was selling digestive to teenage girls. In my group is Naomi, Anthony and nyall. We are going to use stop-performance. We will  put heads of 1D musicians on to digestive biscuits and use #1D for social media trend.

We did research for our advert. Naomi researched our target. audience of teenage girls. Nyall looked at animation using Cravendale and I looked at other biscuit adverts.

Here is my research:


We also started work on the pitch putting together our research and working out what we would need to make the advert.


Week 5

We completed the pitch and pitched it to Scott. Our feedback said that is was a good strong idea but that I was the only one who had mentioned factors of persuasion and lines of appeal. Also we had forgotten to do our proposal.

Which we should have done first.


Here is our pitch
Here is our Proposal


Here is our Idea generation





Week 6
Completed the production folder. I was responsible for the Rick Assessment, Permission and Contingency Plan.






Week 7/8/9

My group filmed the ad but I was ill so I missed it so I decided to use anther advert I had filmed on my work experience for this unit. See Marie Curie Advert

Time is running out music video was finishing. 18/12/12

The actors were not available for more shooting so I finished the edit with the reused footages on my laptop.

Here is Music video links:

How to make to make this music video look great?
 I put the photo of eyes on top of the video clip and then I change 100% to 34% opacity.

I added the effect of blood on this photo to make this look like he had been killed.


The camera's zooming out.

 I put the photo of young man in her eyes and then I made a mask around it and lower opacity.




















I made a small 3D room, I put the photo of the young lady closer to camera and the photo of young man was bit far away from camera to create 3D looks.

Music Video Shoot 20/11/12

The actor arrived and read their scripts and started the shoot at lunchtime. The actors were really good and we got the footage quite quickly. We also took extra still photo's to use to cut in with the footage later. We shot at 4 locations inside the college and also in the underground car park. We took turns with the cameras and all had a go.

The actors had to go so we wrapped up for the day. We plan and finish on Wednesday if fine but if not it will be next Monday. These are photos stills of the footage we shot today.

Time is running out 19/11/12

Joined with Jackie and Naomi to work on the production of their music video. They gave me a copy of their production pack so I could get t to know their idea. I listened to the track which had quite a solid beat. I looked at the lyrics to find out what the song was about.

I think I'm drowning
asphyxiated
I wanna break this spell
that you've created

you're something beautiful
a contradiction
I wanna play the game
I want the friction

you will be the death of me
you will be the death of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out

I wanted freedom
bound and restricted
I tried to give you up
but I'm addicted

now that you know I'm trapped sense of elation
you'd never dream of
breaking this fixation

you will squeeze the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
how did it come to this?
ooooohh

you will suck the life out of me

bury it
I won't let you bury it
I won't let you smother it
I won't let you murder it

our time is running out
our time is running out
you can't push it underground
you can't stop it screaming out
How did it come to this?
ooooohh


They want to make the style of the movie similar to One photo hour. This mean lots of quick cut to the beat.
I will help the group film the production and then I will get a copy of the footage to do my own edit.

My editing need to match the brief and inspiration in the pre-production pack.

    • One hour photo "style"
  • Early horror influence Chiascuro 
    • Frankenstein 
    • Cabinel of Dr Cagliari
