My ideas for a pop promo of Noah and the Whale - 5 years time

This is for the first 0.38 seconds of the pop promo: Beginning, when intro comes showing a couple walking/skipping happy, maybe having it like photos and like you here flash going of, also holding hands at, for instance, and a seaside. Or doing romantic things like eating outside and sharing chips at diner.

This is for 40 seconds of pop promo: Couple walking around the zoo, happy, wide shot, then goes to high angle of them walking down. Then you see them at the zoo he puts his hands over her eyes, then you see a point of view through her eyes and you can just see the man smiling at him.

This is for 55 secs of pop promo: If we have a high key light and the couple sun bathing on the beach holding hands still maybe, wide shot would be used for this. Then it goes to close up of their faces being pinky/red (use of makeup).

This is for 1.11 min of pop promo: Showing the couple in a living room sitting on a coach, on the coffee table there is a bottle of wine and two wine glasses, and ashtrays smoke in the room wide shot, mid shot, man smiling at the woman same with the woman. Then you see them laughing while smoking both of them. They could cross hands and give the wine glasses to each other, while also having their cigarettes in the hands and drinking wine.

This is for 1.25 min of pop promo: This is just showing them just walking/skipping along, holding hands, laughing, wide shot, then maybe them being in a play park on the swings or whatever having fun holding hands. Wide shots.

This is for 1.42 min of pop promo: wide shot first then, Point of view shot through man’s eyes looking at women, both smiling, they are at like alter, fancy clothing,. When it comes “and you say” then goes to point of view through girls eyes.

This is for 2.06 min of pop promo: Eye of god looking down on them in a field holding hands, in a bed of roses or anything red. Then goes to mid shot of them turned around looking at each other. Then the woman gets one of the petals and touches his nose with it then, he does it to then they both get up and run down the field, smiling, long shot when that happens.

This is for 2.11 min of pop promo: Then, it is a dream bubble coming out and then showing a long shot of them in bed asleep like it was a dream. This is a mid shot, Then he wakes up and stares at her and smiles.

This is for 2.36 min of pop promo: When it says 5 years time comes to long shot and then the number 5 in the middle of the screen. Then mid shot of them not facing each other and they are angry at each other.

This is 2.53 min of pop promo: Goes to dream mode and you see them, holding hands, in the past and happy him remembering the past.

This is 3.01 min of pop promo: Goes back to them running in the field, wide shot, then the man sits down under a tree, mid shot, and so does the woman and she lies on his chest and then end of song.

End of song goes to black.

Oh well in five years time we could be walking round a zoo - 0.40 secs

Analysis of a music promotional package

The album I have chosen is Disturbed-Indestructible. As you can see the picture is a monster maybe because of his face you can see that his face is distorted and he looks like the grim reaper because of the hood that he wears. Also there is an explosion in the background of fire and he is on fire like he has just walked out. I think the artist only does this because it goes with the name of the album which is “Indestructible” also it goes with the artist name as it is “Disturbed” and the figure in the album cover looks very disturbed. The font of the alum is the same because the name Disturbed is always the same type font always throughout all of their albums which is obviously their famous typeface. The type face under neither is small and spread out I think the artist did this because they know that people who are likely to buy this are their fans so they know they do not have worry about achieve fans, also another thing is when you look at the picture you maybe think that it is a creature who is indestructible. So they know without a name they probably gain an audience. Also the colours are very dark, the only thing that is light is the fire and even that is shaded fire not florescent for example, also even the type face of the artist is a dull grey.

Here is the magazine advert for this album I think that they have done it a very simple advert of just the band behind some glass that has broken in the middle and under neither just when the album is coming out and what it is called. I think the artist has done this photo because it shows that the band is indestructible and that they can break glass just with their eyes for example. Again they used their brand name type face so their fans no that it is them as you cannot see the photo that well so you don’t know who it is. Yet again when the album comes font is the same as the title of the album so maybe people will recognize it in a store if they have never looked for a Disturbed album. Also the way the font is slightly slanted to make it edgy.

The beginning shows some quotes from very successful emperors for example Julis Ceaser, they are indestructible leaders.

There is some use of M-E-S very different locations such as the jungle, the desert, I think this is a very important location because in the desert it is very hot and it is showing how the man is indestructible. Also they show only locations which you could die in for instance a war field.

The cinematography in this pop promo is mainly just long shots because they have to show different locations, also when it shows the band it is mainly mid shots to show the band playing, also when it is a guitar solo they do a close up of the guitarist playing, this is for the audience because they like to see the different cords he plays, this is good for some audiences because they are learning to play guitar and want to do exactly what he is doing.

There is not much of a relationship between the lyrics and the visuals as the man is mainly saying indestructible a lot of the time and on the screen it is showing different form of being indestructible but different points of view.

There is a relationship between the music and visuals for instance when the guitar solo comes on the visual on the screen is a much slower fighting scene that goes with the music. Also after the solo, when it goes to the war scene it goes precisely on a thump beat and that is when you go to the war scene with mud in slow mo in the air.

To me this is a metal type genre music because of the way it is so dark, and it could be like rock, but sometimes rock uses more low key light. And also normal in rock they do not use lyrics that have to do with being indestructible.

There is sort of a narrative structure, but set in different locations. There is a narrative with the caveman and I think it is that he is trying to get back to his tribe but he runs into other cave men and kills them.

This pop promo promotes the band allot because you see them playing all the time between the clips. Also, at the end the singer becomes indestructible too as he just walks through the explosion. Also, they promote the guitarist with the solo.

There is a use of intertextuality I think, form 10,000bc I have never watched this movie but I know it is about a caveman trying to get back to his tribe and faces obstacles. And they have done the same here; it is again trying to show that he is becoming indestructible by facing the sun as an example.

I think the audience for this would be people aged between 16-25 because it is more of the metal genre; also I think it would be mainly for boys because to me I think that this pop promo is sexist as it is saying only men are indestructible.

Pop Promo Analysis - (Rogue Traders-Voodoo Child)

Artist and Song: Rogue Traders-Voodoo Child, Director: James Ash

The use of M-E-S in this pop promo is very limited, for example there are not many locations on the screen, and the only one I can see is the plant desert location that is all. The use of props is high as they use playing cards, birth certificates for each band member sometimes, and also the whole pop promo is set in a book which is a prop. I think the director does this to give the emphasis that this is a book and these are pages that we are looking at and we have to use are imagination from the words that are in the book.

For cinematography in this video, it is mainly mid shots to show the band members, also they have close ups of a woman’s face when the same words repeat “ Voodoo child” and also there are two long shots of the women but that is to set a location of where she is. Again why I think they use just mid shots is try and show that this is a book and that in the book there are not many locations but more people talking.
To me I think that this whole pop promo is a whole visual effect, because the director is trying to make the artist and even the background are just pages of a book and instead of just words there are pictures so in a way this just an imagination of the words on the pages, this is the reason why most things are black and white such as the people, also if there is colour they are only dull colours, and even when there is one bright colour, (the lips) it turns to a dull grey.

There is some relationship between the lyrics and visuals, they make it quite clear because they have some words in the background which normally are the most important such as “here come the drums” I think they do this to emphasis the chorus more which should normally keep in someone’s mind which they want. Also there is one more relationship between the two which is when she talks about “poison running through me” it runs through a heart and it comes from the lips which normally poison is made. They do this maybe because it is a simpler and more cost effective way of addressing those lyrics.

There is a relationship between the music and visuals for instance, when the beat goes comes the band members on the certificates bang there head in the right beat to the music, also another thing is when the music sounds like a wind the visual turns into a wind of cards and top hats. The director did something like this because maybe that is a good beat to bang your head to and people can join in with the band members banning their heads.

To me, I think this genre is rock and the only clue to why I think that is, is because in the beginning where they show the book it is a dark background and a dull coloured book and normally in rock or metal genre they use hard key lighting to make it darker. Even thought the whole song is light but that is trying to represent the pages of the book.

I think there is no narrative structure in this pop promo but I think that lyrics make the narrative structure.

I think it dies promote the band, by showing all the band members even thought they are not playing any instruments, so there is no point of them actually being on screen but they are still there promoting themselves.

I think that audience for this would be between the ages of twelve to twenty-five because it is rock music and not many people enjoy it also I think that this pop promo is aimed at both girls and boys.

Pop Promo Analysis - (Katy Perry-Hot "n" Cold)

Artist and Song: Katy perry- Hot “n” cold music video, directed by: Alan Ferguson 2008

In this pop promo it shows many different locations, such as a chapel in the very beginning to establish where we are (at a wedding), also after when the man is running down the street it is all alone until he runs in and knocks over a man dressed in a hot dog suit the director has done this so that it shows how desperate the man is to get away from the girl. Also, you see Katy Perry in a nightclub singing and everyone who is dancing to her music is supporting her because they do not let the man go until finally she moves and he goes along with her. Some use of props is that she uses a phone to show that no matter where he tries and hides she is always following her. At the end of this pop promo it goes back to this chapel where we started at the beginning to try and show it never happened and the man was just dreaming it.

A lot of this pop promo is shot in long shots and mid shots, because there are three different locations and therefore three different Katy Perry types so the director uses long shot to set the location for the audience, and he uses mid shots when Katy Perry starts to sing to show her expressions on her face.

There are some visual effects in this pop promo for instance, the light change in the chapel to try and set the type of genre in the pop promo of a type of pop/dance theme.

There are some relationships between the lyrics and visuals for instance, in the beginning when they are in the church Katy Perry uses her hand as if she is talking and that is what she says in her lyrics “you always speak.” Another point is when she is in the chapel and she uses the words “you’re in and you’re out.” The people, such as the groomsmen use the hands as an action also their hands are going as the same time as the beat of the music. Also, when the man uses the phone she also uses another movement of putting her hand as a phone. I think why she uses movements is just to emphasis her lyrics more.

The music and the visuals do go together in this pop promo for instance, in the church everyone goes to the beat of the music when dancing, using little things, like nodding their head when the beat is low but when it beginnings to pick up they start moving more like the groomsmen start moving their whole bodies.

I think that this pop promo is a pop genre i think this because the light in this pop promo is a low key lighting because even though that the narrative is sad the pop genre is normally happy. Also, I would consider this a dance as well because of the lights used in the beginning in the church and it has a disco beat to it.

There is a narrative and it draws the audience by leaving the question open in the beginning because the groom never actually say “Yes” so you wonder if he will change his mind.

This pop promo promotes the artist, Katy Perry, because you see her in three different types of versions.

I think the audience for this pop promo is for people aged eight and up and mainly girls would be watching this but I don’t think boys would be that interested in it, also I think that any would enjoy listening to this music because the genre is pop and alot of people listen to the genre.
