(not final poster)
The poster i created shows both characters posing and presenting themselves like in most Hiphop magazines. They have both adopted different 'roles' for the picture however the roles still correspond to the roles they both took in the music video. This is a very common Hiphop convention as then the viewer's can identify each artist by their swagger. However in most Hiphop adverts they tend to have something stand out and nearly con traversal; we've decided to keep both artists the main idea of our poster and add no effects directly to them. This has been done because they are upcoming artists, they should be openly presented, their face's posture and style should be easily identifiable as they are upcoming artists. In addition, throughout our music video the artist's are presented in this way, the same artist whos on the left will be in on the left for majority of the video and vise versa for the other. If the viewer saw the advert and then the poster; he/she would be able to match them up a lot more easier. The viewer must be able to recognise the artists again if they are wearing different clothes, they are shown in a different way or if they decide to alter their style. But by showing them in a raw but stylish form, i believe it has allowed us to make a perfect poster, as well as will allow us to make a even better and interesting poster once they are established
Furthermore, the reviews and record labels at the bottum of the poster are on all hiphop posters, we havn't filled ours up with reviews and etc. In face we decided to leave the poster as 'bland' as possible, as we wanted everything on the album itself and the promotion rather then make it go off the point with more things to distract the viewer from the artists. This will force the viewers to take a good look at the artists and admire the writing associated with the album. We have incorerated the same ideas into our digi pack and video; our video hasnt got a too many effects and shots, the same is with our digi pack; it isn't full of pictures and text. We've kept everything 'neat' and tidy, presented with class.
You could include a link to show what you mean by "most hiphop magazines". You make a fair point about the fact they are new artists and therefore should be recognizable to the audience. But then the post seems to loose focus. - You need to describe them specifically and point out how this is repeated in the music video and then also in the digipack. (You begin to do this with the term swagger and also the way they dressed - but don't go into specifics). Another way to show the link may be way in which they end up together at the end of the video repeated in the posters?
ReplyDeleteobviously that should be lose focus not "loose" focus.
