G324 Joe French Music Video

I like this one because of the connotations of the bonfire in the middle of the page with the smoke going through the lettering. It links the title of the song with the bonfire which is connoting the relationship of the couple who's relationship is the fire and its being burnt until there is nothing left. The lettering is pretty basic which is okay for indie music but i would have preferred to make something thats rougher and looks gritty in comparison to this font which is fairly sharp and not really that exciting or relating to the genre. I did like how the name of the band was in the middle and the title of the song surrounded the band name which i think is something that could be added to our final magazine advert because when the band name is in the middle its the first thing someone sees and it will intrigue them and make them interested especially if they are long term fans of the band.  I like the lettering on this one because it pretty much resembles the Bastille logo w...

For the digipak we may want consider that we have to relate the images and other things to the actual music video we've made otherwise there will be no link to the music video and promotional items and that will mean less marks. The things that work in this digipak is the images of the flames and the bonfire on the front cover, this is because it relates a lot to our music video which is 'things we lost in the fire' so it has connotations of the title but also links to the meaning of our music video which is a 'burning' relationship and we are having real fires in the music video to symbolise the relationship. I also like how i put the artists names on the back of the album cover in order for newer fans to get to know the band and know the names if they wanted to. Im not sure the font works too well because it doesnt look indie enough for the band which are heavily indie. For this digipak i really like the font thats being used, this is because it looks almost...

At the beginning of the year we were asked to recreate a music video which was Justin Timberlake's 'Cant Stop The Feeling'. We were put into groups and we asked to recreate a small segment of the music and then the whole music video would come together with each groups segment. The thing we learned from this was how to recreate a music video and look at specific things from the video and we had to work together as a team in order to be able to re create them perfectly. It taught us how music videos worked and it will prepare us for when we make our final one which is good because we will have experience before we've even done it so we can make our final video as good as it can possibly be. I think it will help when making our music video because it gives us experience in the making of music videos that we need for our final video and it also helps us to be able to understand how music videos are made and what it takes in order for a successful one to be made.

David Guetta Textual Analysis Narrative: From the narrative and looking at the music video we can see that there are a lot of intertextuality and its mostly referring to 80s type sci-fi movies. The references tie in with Steven Spielberg’s movies mainly from the 80s with films like ET, Back to the future and the Goonies. This can be shown from the whole narrative, the young child in the music video has been given super powers and is coming to grips with having these types of abilities which is the main story to a lot of old Spielberg movies. It seems that the reoccurring thing in films like the ones stated are that these huge responsibilities are being given to children rather than adults which is something that was never really seen before, this can be shown in the music video because in the beginning he runs away from school because he hasn’t been able to control his powers and has destroyed one of the corridors with dust and rubble everywhere. He then goes home where you can s...

This digipak is very interesting because there are a lot of mysterious imagery on here that gets the audience thinking a lot. The car on the front looks quite old and beaten up which fits to the genres generic conventions so when people who like this specific genre see this album cover it will encourage them and make them want to give the album a chance because the images are appealing to them. The image on the back is intriguing because the people almost look as if they are silhouettes so it looks very mysterious and gets the audience thinking and asking questions such as 'who are these people and what relevance do they have to the band or the album?'. Having things like this encourage the audience to use their imagination more which sparks more curiosity which can help them to buy the album. It also links to the genre because a generic convention of the indie rock genre is that they tend to have heavily narrative based music videos and imagery. I like the font style becaus...

Things i like about this magazine advert is the photo in the background, the setting is much like a indie rock setting and it fits the conventions because most indie rock settings are fairly vague and low budgey. The car also looks beaten up and old which also links to the genre because the clothes and other things in indie music videos are old and low budget which fits to the genre perfectly. The colours are fairly vague too except the blood which sticks out a lot which links to the name of the song which is bad blood so there is a good connotation there. It could also get audiences thinking and could have a mysterious feel to it such as 'who's blood is it?' 'where is the blood leading to?' there could be a story behind it and the audience will be intrigued by it.  I like the font style because it's a reoccurring thing with the band which will draw the fans in and make them interested because when they see that font style they'll realise that its Bastil...

Bastille are a british indie rock band that formed in 2010. The name of the band comes from 'Bastille day' which is the French national day and is one the same day as the bands lead singer Dan Smith. After releasing singles and a debut ep they were eventually signed by Virgin records and released their debut album 'Bad Blood' in 2013. The band has been nominated for four Brit awards and as of November 2014 they've sold more than 5 million records in the USA and 2.5 million in the United Kingdom. They then released their second studio album 'Wild World' in 2016. From having a look at their album covers, i can see that all of them seem to look fairly similar, they all have the same font and include fairly similar images such as a person standing or a shot of a city. although their album covers look fairly similar, it could be making them look original by creating their own aesthetic and style because they've used it for so long, so if anyone were t...
