Research

Once my synopsis was complete i thought it wuld be a good idea to look at exsiting products in all three areas of my brief. Firstly I looked at exsiting music videos and made a detailed analysis. When analysing I looked at the mis-en-scene, editing, sound and camera angels/movement. By doing this i can see how successful different ideas were and how they use each of these areas to capture and audiences attention to ensure that a song will do well competing agaisnt others.

I then looked at exsiting Album covers and websites, to see simularities between the two. I wanted to see if other artists kept a running theme. I could also see the fonts and colours used that have been successful. This research helped as now i see having a continuing theme helps an audience recongnise an artist. Ive nocticed that with each new album an artist changes the look for both there website, and album, giving themselves an new look and style and keeping an artist fresh.

I then looked at two other websites in full detail. From this i could see the type of information an audience likes to read. This would help me in my supporting projects. I found that the most important information on both websites was the latst news, which was highlighting what the artist has been getting up to. I also noticed that both of them had there latest music video on the front page.
