After the feedback we received from our peers and teachers we have listed the changes we are going to make to our tasks to improve them and hopefully come out with the best grade possible:
Male Advert: Add voiceover "Amo Tu Vida" at the end ( we did want to do this but didn't have enough time)
Female Advert: "Amo Tu Vida" at the end ( we did want to do this but didn't have enough time) try and change the font at the end to something more classy, but this proved difficult to do when I tried to on my practical last year!
Sponsorship: Add shots of Minty spraying the perfume on her, and edit the images that contain the lipstick as it could be perceived as advertising make up.
Radio: We didnt have any feedback on this, but we are pretty pleased with how it sounds so won't be making any changes, if we do make any we will blog what we have changed and why :)
I have finally managaged to add videos of our media to youtube although because it wouldnt regonise the file i had to chnage it on a strange website which is why there is writing across the video this isnt normally here! It did take me hourssss and hours to work out how to do this btw!
Comments much appreciated :)

Feedback On Our Practical From Teachers
(Level 4 being the best, 1 being the worst)
Sponsorship Advert
High Level 2 - very effective use of music, fast pace and editing. There is too much focus on the Mac lipstick and pink lipstick - this would be a better advert for Mac makeup! You should see the product in action through the girl at least spraying the perfume.
Girl Advert
Low Level 3- Great use of lighting and well filmed and edited. Consider a voice over at the end and try to change the titles to something more elegant/sophisticated.
Boy Advert
Level 3 - very good - snappy editing, appropriate music and again, well filmed. Add a male voice over and title at the end.

Unfortuntly our radio advertisment was on a different mac to the rest of our practical and we forgot to mention this so we have no feedback on this.

Feedback On Our Practical
Female Advert:
:) Clear shots, good colour scheme, mise en scene is good and suits audience, sterotype of girl in advert is good, music is well suited to the advert.
:( One shot isn't cut right, doesn't flow with continuity, font at end "Amo Tu Vida" could be more feminine, have voice over at end sayin Amo Tu Vida.
Male Advert:
:) Music fits well, shots are really good and link together, editing is really effective.
:( perfume bottle isn't great, writing could be more original and a bit slower, make perfume shots brighter - they look too dull.
Sponsorship:
:) good music, female suits the product well
:( could have image of programme sponsoring
Unfortuntly our radio advertisment was on a different mac to the rest of our practical and we forgot to mention this so we have no feedback on this, however we know it is 100% full marks ;)

Monday 14 December 2009
Coursework Completed!
On friday we finally completed our practical :)
Female Advert: We used Eve Chesterton, in the setting of a bedroom, Mise en scene included make up, clothes and feminine objects. Music was uploaded onto the film.
Male Advert: We used Jamie Hives & Liam Richards in a coverted garage, mise en scene consisted of poker chips, playing cards, velvet chairs and objects associated with wealth and class. Music was uploaded onto the film.
Sponsorship: We used Araminta Maloy on a white background and had fast paced shots up close ups of her face and then back to a shot of the fragrance and pearls - an object we wanted to be assocaited with our product. Music was uploaded onto the film.
Radioship advert: We used the voice over of Heather Jordan and Connor Stanhope, with quiet music played throughout. The script can be seen in a previous blog.

Things That Didnt Go To Plan...
Our practical is now looking pretty good :) however some changes have been made from our storyboard...
1. We couldn't use Araminta as she was always unavailable when we needed to film, so we used Eve Chesterton which we were really grateful for as we know she had a lot of pressure to complete her media for the deadline to!
2. We also didn't use the male we intended to use, Kyle is Mintys boyfriend but when we needed to film they were having a bad patch so we decided to use Jamie Hives or Liam Richards, we took them both filming to see who would fit best into the genre of the advert and decided to use them both instead, we have made a storyboard of this which we have uploaded to the updated storyboard post!
3. It isn't shown on the updated storyboard but we added text clips in between clips. They said Dare To Play. We added them in to break up the quick shots.
4. Knowing how hard it was to get the characters when we needed them, to get 2 characters at the same time would of have been literally impossible and therefore we completely changed our storyboard for the sponsorship so it meant that we didn't have to rely on other people. So to make up for this we paid close attention to detail within the mise en sccene.

So to make up for this we paid close attention to detail within the mise en sccene.
We laid out an image that included all the things we have previously mentioned such as pearls, hearts, sequins, and make up. This follows the idea we previously had of associating a certain object, such a perls, with the fragrance. This is shown on a blog we added in which you can see the Toyota car covered in tennis balls consequently linking these to the product.
We began by creating the image by laying out the perls in various patterns including hearts and swiled shapes reflecting the gentle feminine image we wanted to portray. We then went on to go into more detail picking out the smaller images we did this by using small silver hearts surounding the biger hearts. Other things we added to image were make up items, we used the colour pink as our back groud so we followed this theme by putting in pink blushers and lip gloss's again relefing the girly image.
Finally the main focus of the iamges was the perfume that was surounded by all of the smaller details. We then went on to take the shots. These were still images so we took advantage of the detail by take lots of close ups from differnt angles that including the perfume. We tried to do these as low angle shots to create the idea of the perfum bottle being really big, but this didnt look very effective and it made it look to unrealstic and we wanted to give this advert a natural look.
We then went on to take the shots of female actress these were also almost still shots that included closes ups of her eyes opening and closing, her smile and other feature such as her hair.

Male Advert Filming
We began by clearing the area. Once had moved everything to get a clear back ground, white doors, we began to create the mise en scene. As you can see from our story boards we didnt want to make it too complicated there for the shots just contained to chairs back to back. The chairs being red and gold creating the image of power which was also somthing we wanted to achive.
Filming...
We took our story board with us and filmed shot by shot as we originally planned. We had a few difficulties try to film poker chips we wanted poker chips in staks to look like the got high and lower with out some one touching them. Firstly we tried to this by leaving the camera running and film for 30 seconds then swap the height of the stacks then do it again. Incase this doesnt work we did it again turning the camera of each time, this appeared to run more smoothly but we will see how easy it edit later on in the week. Another problem we had was the lighting. When we made our first story bord we wanted to use dimmed lighting whit the use of strobe lights. We attempted to do this but the school camera did not allow this as the it appeared to dark, so when we up loaded them onto the makes the fotage would be clear enough to use.
Shots we thought worked well...
We really liked snooker ball shots of the balls breaking and scatering across the table so we took advanteg of this a toook it from different angles so we could repate the shots when it came to editing. Becuase these shots worked so well we filmed the poker chips agian droping them into the shot, because whiel we here we had the idea that we could reverse this when editing.
