We are really pleased with the final cut of our advert and feel it is conventional to rock while also showing our brand very clearly. I feel it works well with both our digipack and advert as a clear campaine and band image.
We chose to just have our lead singer on the advert as it is conventional and was a main feature of a lot of the adverts we analysed. Through our research and through making our own video, we know that this is because a lead singer, weather they be male or female is always the centre of attention. The fact our singer is a woman makes our band even more noticeable in the male dominated genre of rock. Our lead singer is looking directly at the camera engageing the audience (the reader of a magazine flipping pages) and so the image is more eye-catching.
By adding an image of the product we are selling we are making it very clear what we are selling, so there is no confusion for a reader. This is a convention of most music magazine adverts selling albums. We also chose to make the date a little bigger and bolder to make the text more interesting and to emphasise important information for the reader (who will not necessarily pay the advert lots of attention).
There is a similarity between our advert and the advert of 'Lungs' by Florence and the Machines as we have taken inspiration from the body-parts element of the image.
