Magazine Advert Research

In order to create an advert to appear in a magazine for the Audrianna Cole digipack, the three of us looked into other artists' who had digipacks. Miss Mapp, our teacher, had about 15 copies of front covers for albums and singles and we selected the artist who had a similar criteria to our own, which was Hampshire-based Laura Marling.
In the group, we analysed the front cover for her single "Cross Your Fingers/Crawled Out Of The Sea" and we came up with information such as the fact that she was not on the front cover, and considered whether it was typical of the genre. We decided that it is not, however Laura Marling had decided to do this because this was only an aspect of her work and on her album there is a picture of her, therefore we decided to keep the picture of Audrianna Cole on the front of our front cover. Underneath is a picture of our work.

Audience Feedback Questions

In order to gain a wider perspective of the Indie genre and how we have done, we are coming up with some interview questions that we can ask people after they have viewed our music video at next week's assembly.

1. Do you feel that our music video fits into the genre (Indie/Pop)? Why?

2. Does our music video look authentic? Why?

3. What aspects of the video do you find effective?

4. Any criticism that you feel we could benefit from?

Misplaced Comparison Preparation Post

To ensure that our music video for Audrianna Cole - Misplaced, is similar to that of other music videos in terms of aspects such as lighting, the narrative and the theme, I have decided to do a post about what the next task will entail. What will happen is I will look on YouTube for music videos that we can compare to Misplaced, and the songs that I will research don't necessarily have to be the same genre. I will post it on the blog later on in the week!

Back Cover

Here is our back cover for our album. We have included some of her own tracks and created titles for others that link to the Alice in Wonderland theme. Tracks 1, 3-7 are her own tracks and we created the names titles for Tracks 2, 8-10. Here is the track listing:

1. Misplaced
2. Lost in Wonderland
3. Ain't Gonna Letcha
4. I'd Get Lost With You
5. Lovely
6. Say Yes Say No
7. Shrug It Off
8. Fallen Cards
9. You're Late
10. Cup Full Of Nothing

The meanings for 2, 8 and 10 are clear but, just to clarify, 9 cleverly has a double meaning. It relates to the watch and late in love!
