Conventions of a promotional advert

some of The typical conventions that you would see on a magazine advert are for an album would be the following:

- Ratings / opinions / reviews
- The band name
- Tour date details
- Album artwork
- Website details
- I-tunes/ play.com etc Adverts
- Singles (taken from)
- Album Name
- Record Label
- Nominations and awards


This is an example of an advert in Q magazine for Marina and the diamonds, it has most of the conventions I have previously mentioned such as the band name, featuring songs, album name, review quotes/opinions, album artwork, and the website for the band.

Questions on my digi pack

I have posted this small questionnaire on facebook for a few people to answer, which will hopefully provide me with some useful feedback.
I have asked the following questions.

1: does it fit with a pop genre?
2:do you think the album name and artist name are well suited to a pop genre?
3:is there a good enough use of colour?
4:do you think the track list suits the album?
5:are there any improvements you could think of that would make it even better suited to the artist I have created and the pop music genre?

Album and song advertising

looking through popular music distribution sights such as amazon.co.uk and HMV, has made me realise all the diverse ways songs and albums are advertised and sold to audiences. Advertising through as many ways as possible are important to sell songs, albums are advertised though all types of media, such as tv, internet, and magazines. I have particularly been looking at a music related website and magazine top of the pops, and also itunes which is an international music download site that is constantly updating on music events and chart news, seeing that a song is number one in the charts may encourage people to buy it, so it is a really important part of the advertising, where as the top of the pops web page is telling audiences about the artists as well as their music which again helps with advertising because it gets people feeling more involved with what their favourite artist is doing.

Draft of Music video

This is a draft of our music video so far, we have some editing things still to do such as adding in split screens which we are going to do on final cut pro in the next couple of weeks, but so far we are really happy with what we have edited.

My Digi pack final

Digi pack cover so far

So far I have edited a picture I have taken for my Digi pack cover and I really like what ive done so far, I have edited in the police line up background and all I have left to do it write on the album and artist name on the sheet on white card that she is holding, this was to represent the board that crimanls hold up when they have photographs done in front of the line up, but i've done it in a more cheeky way to represent what the album is going to be like.

Feedback

This is some audience feedback we have managed to film, this has helped us because it gave us some feedback on our first bit of editing.
