Editing our adverts

I think editing our advert was quite easy to be honest. When we started editing our adverts I thought I caught on quite quickly. I think the easier advert to edit was probably our Twilight one. I think this one was easy because we didn’t have to cut out much, however we did have a problem with our sound, it was too quiet, but I do think it sounds quite good with music underneath it.
Another problem we had was the colour, in one of the shots it looked slightly pinky, but the shots before that were a red-ish colour, however we did manage to sort this.
I think the snow white one was also quite easy to edit, we did have to cut a lot more out of this one though. we didn’t really have to change much either, the only problem was filming and also the font at the end, because it was white you couldn’t see it all that well so we had to move it.

Apart from that it was all goooodddddddddddd.

Shooting our adverts

While we was filming our advert we found it quite hard to find willing people to act for our “Snow White” advert. However when we did the actors kept bringing/calling over to their friends to come and be a prince, so we ended up with like five. Another problem I found whilst we were filming was people kept walking into our scenes, but apart from that I think it went ok, it could have been better though as I didn’t feel we was really prepared.

I thought out “Twilight” went a lot better, but we accidently erased the advert first time so we had to re record it. I think that the advert looked quite good, I think this was because it was filmed in the recording studio and therefore we could change things if we wanted to, whereas if we was outside you cant exactly stop people from walking into a shot etc.

All together I think the adverts looked ok..ish

I believe we could have done better though, no offence to the rest of the group :)

Shooting And Editing.

When we filmed both adverts it was hard to find people willing to act. I was therefore the main part in both adverts. It was quite easy just acting to be honest. But having to do the same shots over and over again became tedious. 
Our Twilight advert was easier to film because it didn't involve alot of shots to be filmed and was minimalistic really. Though, the first week we filmed it and completed it, which was the better week, the next time filming got deleted and therefore had to be refilmed, which is now our ffinal outcome for our Twilight advert.
Our Snow White advert was very very hard to film for some reason. The first week we filmed it we got too many princes and therefore it didn't look very good in the outcome and had to be refilmed. The next week we filmed it and we thought all had gone well but then realised that one crucial part had not actually been caught on camera. So the NEXT week we had to film again and it FINALLY turned out right :):):)
Then when it came to editing I was ill so I wouldn't know.

GHD advert

The GHD advert is shot in black and white to give the effect for a more serious advert, it has different camera shots and it uses panning which is a good shot to use to get lots of things in the same scene. The voice over is a woman just saying what people should not uses the GHD’s for, but its just also saying what these straighteners could do for you, ie, it could make you marry a rich old man.

Cadbury eyebrows dance

This advert has a range of different camera shots, to capture the affects of the people doing the eyebrow dance. The music played over goes well with the images as it flows well. At the beginning of the advert you straight away know its Cadburys as it says “A glass and a half full productions” which is a well known slogan for Cadburys adverts.

Peter Crouch T-mobile

The new T-mobile advert is mostly aimed at people who are with T-mobile or people thinking of changing their phone network to T-mobile. It may also appeal to people are the advert features football start Peter Crouch.

The use of mise-en-scene encourages the audience to watch this advert because Peter Crouch is in it. It may also encourage them to go to T-mobile because they will think that Peter Crouch supports them. The adverts also includes the famous robot dance move that Crouch did after scoring a goal.

The Natural Confectionery Company

The Natural Confectionery Company, which is advertising their juice snakes sweets, is a very simple advert which looks like it did not need a lot of effort into producing it. This advert focuses on the sweets the most, it uses a lot of close ups of them. It uses them as the adverts USP, as it makes them look irresistible. The use of mise-en-scene has only really focused on the sweets. It gives the effect that they are so important. The sound is only a voice over. It makes the sweets look as if they are speaking, this would attract the much younger generation, but also the older ones.

Jack Daniels

The Jack Daniels advert is a modern design but has been edited to make it older than it is. The producers uses just the bottle and the liquid inside it as it is it the USP. The camera follows the bottle, as almost as it is giving a tour of the bottle. The text on the bottle lights up to inform people about the substance. This will also encourage people to buy this product. The use of mise-en-scene in this advert fills the screen; this gives more impact towards the drink. Also the way they show the drink come out from the bottle, would make you want it more, as it almost looks perfect. The sound used is a voice over, this is non-diegetic, the advert also has diegetic sound put in, this gives more effect. The target audience is obviously for over 18’s as it is alcohol, it could be targeted at Tennessee people, but also at older people as in the advert it is mentioned as a olden time drink, it is also stated on the bottle which is clearly shown on the bottle. The advert is also encouraging drinking with other people as it is showing two full glasses. The advert is highly encouraging people to buy it as it says “What the label doesn’t tell you, a sip will”. This will make more people buy it, just to try it.

Coca Cola Advert

The Coca Cola advert that I have chosen is one of their modern designs. The producers of this advert have used the Cocoa Cola bottle to be the USP of the advert. This is an animated advert and the camera mainly focuses on the bottle. The producers have made the advert advertise the coke as freshly made and look like a lot of effort has been put in to every individual coke bottle that has been made. The use of mise-en-scene in the advert is very packed, this would make people more aware of what is going on and keep the audience more focused and this would make the audience more likely to buy the product. The way the advert is very joyful makes you want to watch it over again, so not only is this advert trying to make people buy the product, it is also making you want to watch it more, as it is in a sort of story. They target their audience by having fun loving animated characters in the advert; this draws the attention from much younger people. I would also say that the sound could attract the much older generation, because it’s calm, but also upbeat. The sound used is diegetic and non-diegetic.

Lynx... Freaky Eyes =s

The Lynx advert is mainly aimed for teenage and adult men, this is because the advert shows a man getting close to a girl, but he had to check if he was sweating or not. At the end of the advert it shows girls taking an interest in the boy. If a boy saw this he may think that if he used this product, they might think that they to may get more girls to like them.

The use of mise-en-scene encourages the audience to buy the product as it is filmed in everyday places such as buses and highstreets.

Guitar Hero

The Guitar hero advert is mainly aimed at teenagers because it features famous people such as Kobe Bryan, Alex Rodriguez and Michael Phelps and Tony Hawk, that teenagers may look up to. The advert also makes it seem that the celebrities are having a good, fun time, this makes the audience think that they will also have a fun experience while playing the game.

The use of mise-en-scene encourages the audience to buy this product as it is set in a typical household front room, therefore they would be able to identify it easily.

mikey - analysis of talk to frank advert

Talk to frank - pablo advert

I found this advert was very funny the voice over was a comedian and was very amusing he used a lot of funny language. Most of the scenes were dark but you could still make out the picture overall I found this advert very funny

mikey - analysis of cadburys advert

Cadbury's eyebrow ad

I found this ad very out of the ordinary. It is not like any other advert I have seen. It is two school children who are about to take a school photo but then music stars they then start dancing with their eyebrows

Advert Analysis'

Coca Cola
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fDoDUC9M0Sg&feature=related

The coca cola advert is aimed mainly at families and children as there is a clip of a man putting his arm around his son, this could also show us that Coca Cola can also create families to bond more. You can also tell that it is aimed for children because we can see Santa drinking the Coke. You can also see almost immediately that it for the Christmas season as you can see Christmas lights; the use of sound also tells us about Christmas because the lyrics are “holidays are coming”. The use for camera shots and editing shows us the journey the Coca Cola truck is making.

The use of mise – en – scene encourages the audience to buy this product because it shows Father Christmas drinking a bottle of Coca Cola, the bottle also looks refreshing. The colour red may also influence the audience to buy this drink as Father Christmas’ suit was not red before Coca Cola made it that colour.

Hi Ho Hi Ho Off To Work We Go....

For our adverts we are going to use a sort of Snow White storyline
Unfortunately, the dwarves are off this week. I believe they have gone to Butlins...

ANYWAY
for this advert, we are going to film it outside, maybe on the grass if it's not wet, muddy etc etc
The princess (who will be played by the beautifullllll Gracee) eats an apple and faints. A prince rides in and kisses the princess who wakes up and pushes him away to drink the Classic.

We don't have a tagline YET but I'm sure we will do soon ....Hopefully.

Vampires

This advert idea is a mix of Twilight and Dracula. It starts of with a vampire biting a girl, but she stops the vampire and she tells him that "Classic tastes better than blood". The girl reaches down to her side and hands it to the vampire. The Vampire decides to drink, the drink 'Classic'.

The one with all of them :)



The Exorcist

For one of our advert ideas, we decided choose The Exorcist. We didn't choose it as our main one though :)
What basically was going to happen was a girl gets possessed by the devil :|
And the only way to cure this is to drink Classic

If we did decide to film it, we probably would film it in the studio as it could be dark and outside would be bright and it just wouldn't look right.
