Main Protagonist Special item

Main Protagonist Special item

 

Item of interest to the Main Protagonist

As seen above here is one of the main props used within the video, this prop used is the most important to our protagonist Steven as it holds great value to him. this is seen within the video as he holds it up to the same position were this photo was taken . So  why this item? So when in the construction part of the process I quickly decided that the video had to have a point. One that would link to the location that we chose but also one that would be easy to pick up on while you watch the video. So having a picture gives that understanding of someone's past with their intentions in mind this picture later in the video is only one of two possessions  that remain with Steven  while he is living on the streets. 

The picture is meant to remind Steven of happier times within his life a past that we do not see but we see glimpse of it while Steven is on his travels, within the video as he returns to this place for the first time bur also he meets a friend along the way.

Magazine page designs

Above is the first rough drawing of our poster for a page within a magazine, this is the first initial idea that came to mind when producing this the ideas were very simple. As you can see from our final we have kept some original ideas to use in the final design. 

 

Storyboards

Above is the storyboards for our music video, this is a detailed view of what happens within our video. these storyboards are designed for any one to pick up these templates so they could continue filming if needed. it is a long story board with lots of shots needed and changes in the location. This is the final design of the storyboard. Which shows the story of the main protagonist on his journey.

Target Auidence

Target Audience

For our music video the target audience is that the previous targeted audience when the video and music was first released back in 1987. At the time of the music being released Living in a box, were a young boy band making regular appearance on Top of the pops with their music reaching out to younger audience teens. The song released in 1987 was a good vibe song, with catchy lyrics and a back tune which allows for the video  that we have grated to target those very same audience today, as the music will be recognisable to them and will bring back memories of their past hopefully sparking more interest within the  industry.

This is for the narrative of the task to keep the audience the same as when it was released, we feel that the video would appeal to the older audience who have experienced this before and could relate to the narrative of the song whereas teen of today. Might not link to the music or the video as in today’s music genre. Livin in a box has not got the social backing or fan base that would promote this type of music to today’s teens.

 

We took to the streets with our questionnaires that we created in hope of getting some important information on our video. In the survey we asked 30 random people, questions from our survey and the results were a mixed bunch. Many of the results were based upon asking a younger generation of audience their answer were as we expected with most of them list liking todays chart music and preferring solo artist to groups and most music is now being downloaded off the internet than buying the album from a shop and that younger people today would not really listen to this music and prefer the cart topping music of today which is heavily focused on younger people like music before. Companies push there music towards this audience as its a huge market with all types of music genre having a he fan base. However our audience survey did show that any older audience would listen and watch a older song from their past so a decision was reached for us to re-create Living in a box with a younger main focuses but still keeping to its roots of the older generation with the video and its messages .      

 

A2 Media Magazine/ Poster final design

Above we have our final Magazine design for our music video. this consists of showing off the design which was created on Photoshop. to create this front page from a magazine we have  used the same concept as our ancillary task with the mind of both being able to correlate our music video Living in a box as you can see the page design has the element of cardboard. Which was one strong element we wanted to portray in our Ancillary tasks, so that element is consistent throughout each design. looking more into detail you can see our main lead singer on the poster. we decided that having him in the centre of the page was key to the narrative of the song but also the video as you would be able to link him to the song which is the most important part. Coming out of the box seen here is the storyline behind the whole project the story follows Steven on his travels to a happier time in his life and the video shows that with his journey being the main element in the video. so we had time to think of how we could incorporate that into the page design and the CD cover. The picture of him coming out of the box. So this is seen on both the Magazine and also he cover of the CD , this helps you link the two together.


Having Steven on the magazine page was a decision that we took as looking at other examples of poster/Magazine pages they all include the artist giving off the impression that this is new by that artist will sell. so for us having that link of narrative with the front cover including our main headliner was important to us.



Overall I would say the subject of the poster was a successful one as it carries all the key features that we set out to create and also link the poster and the CD cover to our music video I feel that they follow the narrative of the song with the element of cardboard being used in both as the main element.
