Young, teen innocence, styled like Marilyn Monroe as she may not have her own style, Narrative tells a story, concentrates on her dancing.

Gothic style, with the crows and dark robes, black wig/hair dye, Doesn't dance as energeticaly as the first one, narrative and lyrics kind of match but no real narrative.

A lot less clothing, more sexual dancing, no story or narrative so to speak, however Justin Timberlake is a lot younger yet she can keep up with the dancing and energetic style.

The genre for this fictional band is difficult to say as the cover makes the person who sees it have to look into the band and find ot for themselves. However we think the genre is R+B or Hip hop as the nature of the other posters for them are quite dark, and never really show the artist. If it was a rock poster it would usually show the band or artist as in pop as well.

Magazine Ads

The conventions of a magazine ad is to sell the artist, and the colour scheme must match either the bands music style, or the genre of the video.

There is usually a main center image which is quite a iconic image and some reviews to give better press for the band.

The digipack usually has a big iconic image on the front page, and info in the corner of the image explaining what is inside and in not too much detail. And then more info in the back of the case, with track listings and the like. 

Feedback

Mis en scene-The contrast in the costumes and locations that was used in the video fits the lyrics of the song with "back in black".

The use of voyeurism with the close up of the guitar at the beginning would attract people into watching the rest of the video.

Editing-The cuts between the white room and black room were on time and fit in with the music and the lipsyncing fit in time with the music. The close ups of the singers worked to sell the artists well as they were directly filmed singing.

Considering the lack of group members it was very well done

We could overlay the images so it has the tiled effect that we mentioned below, so black white, black white and so on.

We have chosen these images for our the first 3 we will use for the magazine cover, and manipulate it together. And then manipulate the final pic as the CD cover.

Ideas so far

We will be primarily using the black and white studio rooms in order to get the effect that we wanted, another thing that we plan to do is during the editing phase of the work we are going to be photo shopping an image of cat's eyes into the footage for dramatic effect, the style that we trying to copy is that of rock stars and as such we will only be showing clips of either instrument playing and singing like in rock music video cliche. We are also playing with the idea of using a form of "tiled" effect in order to make it look and seem more contrapuntal.

Lip Synching

This is an example of Lip Synching that we practiced in Media.

Music Video ideas

AC/DC:
Use the black room as well as the white room to have opposites of each other and the costumes will also be black and white clothing. So in the white room black clothing and in the black room the white clothing. The video will start off in the white room and then as the song progresses it will progress into the black room towards the end.
