Poster Plan 1

We are going to edit this photo and use at as one of posters, however instead of the model having the camera in his hands he is going to have a still image from our advert to create the image that with just one camera you can be holding the 'whole world in your hands' (PSP poster slogan). At the bottom of the image there will be all the small print, terms & conditions etc. we will also have a slogan at the bottom (of which still needs to decided) We have seen something similar to this in a PSP poster but instead of a still image they are holding cartoons etc. that belong in the gaming world, we thought this looked effective and gave us much inspiration. Actual camera posters were difficult to find.

This poster looks really creative we would like to create something similar however it will differ in the respect that our model will have a family in there hands rather than images from the gaming world. This will not only create you could be holding the whole world in oyur hands but you can carry and take it anywhere. Our poster will also contain a little more detail (the small print) aswell select imprtant details about the camera.

We need to consider what colours will look most effective on our poster, not only this but they will need to co-ordiante with the image in hand and stick to the three 3 colour pallete.

Risk assessment

risks we may come across when filming in the dining room at home are:
-Tripping hazards, Wires
-Dining table collapsing
-Birthday candles, causing a fire
-Rabbits crew throught the wires
-Little brother pulls the camera over
-Spillage of drinks on wires

all of the above are possible risks that we need to make sure these dont happen. we will try to take these into consideration when filming. we need to be careful around the camera as we dont want to brake it or damage it.

Radio Advert

We recorded our radio advert and after editing and trying it out with different samples of backing music, we have decicded to re record it using a differerent actor as the voice wasn't quite what we where looking for, though it was good it wasn't upbeat enough and we tried several times with the actor however it just didn't work. The advert needs to be really enthusiastic to go along with the image we want to portray through our camera advert.

radio adverts

After looking at a couple of adverts we found that they all lasted around 30 seconds, For the first 20 seconds you have someone describing the product or place and then the last 10 seconds is the rushed bit where they explain what the product or place is and the terms and conditions. It is going to be difficult to do a radio advert on a camera as a camera is something you take pictures with and a radio is something you listen to, however like the hagendaaz advert that is something you eat, i think it would be a good idea to hear someone using the camera with them exagerating features for example 'WOW it has 4x internal zoom' then for the last part of the advert we'll have a brief description of the camera.

Filming

Setting: Family dining room, the reason behind filming it in this room is because the dining room is one of the main places in the house beside the lounge where  the whole family come together and the meaning we want to try and portray with our camera advert is that you take pictures of special events where the family are together so therefor bringing you closer.

Cast: (After Tuesday we will have headshots of the following)
Mum-Samantha Barnett; Mum is going to be dressed in jeans and a round neck tshirt, nothing revealing going on her roll, we want to portray her as your average mum who isn't set out to impress anyone because she is happily married with children.
Dad- Jason Barnett; Dad will be dressed in jeans and shirt, casual, smart dress to give the image that he is the most important member of the family, the provider.
Brother 1-Harrison Barnett
Brother 2- Harvey Barnett (Birthday Boy) Both of the brothers will be dressed in shirts and jeans this is to show that they will go on to follow in there dads footsteps.
Sister- Rosie Barnett

postmodern media

postmodernist's claim that in a media saturated world, where we are immersed in media 24/7- the distinction between reality and the media representation of it becomes blurred or even unvisible to us.

we no longer have any sense of the difference between no longer real things and immages of them, or real experinses and simulations of them. media reality is the new reality.

in the new modern period artists experimented with the representation of reality. in the postmedern the idea of representation gets "remixed" played around with through pastiche, parody and intertextual references- where the people that make the texts deliterately expose their names as constructied texts and make no attempt to pretend they are "realist".

- valuce judgements are blurred everything is down to taste, anything can be, deserve and audience, and culture "eats itself". there is no longer anything new to produce or distribute.

- the disrinction between media and reality has callapsed, and we now live in a "reality" defineded by images and reprenations, images refer to each other and represented each other as reality than sime "pure" reality that exicts before the image represents it.

posters.

we have been doing some research into different types of posters for different ytpes of cameras. some of the posters are quite hard to find. we are going to get two cameras and take a picture of one of the camera and see what it looks like, as this is what we are going to be doing for one of our posters.

The Wave.

during one of our lesson, we where subjected to having strict class rules. the rules-
- one space apart.
- stand up to ask or answer
- students must answer
- stand up when asking another stundent.

we watched the film "Wave" in the lesson. the films is based on a true story, where the teacher tries to explain to his students the atmosphere in the 1930's Nazi-Germany ,the teacher initiates a daring experiment. He declares himself leader of a new movement, called 'The Wave'. Inspired, he proclaims ideas about Power, Discipline and Superiority. His students are strikingly willing to follow him. Soon the entire school is under the spell of 'The Wave'. Anyone who refuses to be a part of the Movement, faces threats or worse. the teacher himself gets carried away by his own experiment. Or has it turned into something more than an experiment? The teacher takes it too far and calls an assembly with all of the wave members,  during the assembly he talks about how the wave will take over Germany, just as the Nazis did. When one of the students don’t agree with what is going on he is subject to being carried to the front of the assembly, the teacher decides his fate, only to say that what they are doing is wrong and it must stop. One by one the students realise what they have been doing for the past week and that it has gone too far. But one student doesn’t want the wave to end, pulling out a gun on the teacher and telling him to continue the wave otherwise he will shoot the teacher.

Storyboard

Finally we have our storyboard uploaded after a little bit of technical difficulty on my behalf. This shows the basic outline of how we expect our advert to pan out. Robyn x
