Advert Examples
- 1. This is an official advert from a very popular signed band. I chose to analyse this because it stood out to me with the choice of colour, using a bright colour for the background and dull colours for the main image and text makes the whole advert look vibrant. When creating our own advert, we may decide to take inspiration from official ads such as this, we may use a solid colour for the background so that the text and images will catch peoples eye. I have also noticed that on most adverts for big musicians, the text that must be noticed by people is the larger font. I will make sure that the vital information on the advert will be larger than the smaller secondary details. Finally, the record label is at the bottom of this ad which is imperative for both the company and the band as it raises the profits and audiences for both Hopeless Records and All Time Low.
- 2. This is an example of a students music video advert from last year in Media Studies. It caught our attention because it’s well constructed and the fact they have managed to use Photoshop to edit the boy into the mirror which looks exceptionally unique. I think the use of colours matches the song and narrative perfectly because it’s about being judged before know the truth. They have used quite dull and him colours as the song is not a happy one. One thing I would’ve added to this advert is the record label for the band as this will make it seem a lot more realistic and show the examiner that they have covered all areas. In comparison to the official advert for a signed band (slide above) this advert looks quite professional also as its not overcrowded. However, they have missed out one thing that lets it down, which is the record label.
