Construction - Reflection Post 4

This week for the reflection blog i have researched and found out a template for the CD cover i need, its a rustic and quite a modern design, that fits well to the N-Dubz scene, it has a few flats and tall buildings that we are going to stand on, showing that we've risen from the gutter and getting a lot of money from rapping. i am going to start editing it together today and hopefully get a section of it done and almost finished, ready to start on the inside of the CD case.

Construction - Radio Spot Analysis

I have listened to a Radio Spot and i have found out some things that they have used:

• They have used a catchy jingle that is easy to remember.
• They sing over it, almost like an introduction to a song.
• Its quick and simple.
• They speak over the instrumental to make it sound more welcoming.

Today we are getting strongly into our research, myself and Toni are researching artists websites, this will enable us to see what artists put on their websites so we can transfer some of their ideas onto ours. Harold is researching CD covers and he will make our CD cover.

We have found that separating ourselves from eachother with different tasks each to get on with during our media lessons helps us to get more work done than all three of us focusing on getting one task finished together. This helps us to focus more and also helps us to avoid distraction and work not getting completed due to talking, going off task and messing around. We are realising early this year how badly our group is functioning and we are putting a stop to it early and will focus on our work more, we need to get our work done.

The group functioning and working together is not going very well due to absences because of illness and other things. The work this year is much bigger for all subjects, not just media, so we are finding it hard to juggle all our work at once. We are so far staying on top of our media work and hope it stays this way throughout the year due to the fact that last year we found that all our work piled on top of eachother and we struggled to meet our deadlines.

Planning - Album Cover Analysis

This is Lil Debbie Ft. RiFF RaFF's album cover, 

The album cover is an animated style, and features symbols that relate to america and the recent elections that have been going on, calling it "Michelle Obama" is appropriate, it is bringing in publication by relating the song to the elections.

even though they have used symbols that are related to america, and americans, they have changed the to their own and selling it, like the presidential seal being changed to an eagle holding drugs, and the gambling and alcohol, and the american colours used relate to america.

The artist i have chose to research is Lady Gaga, this is because she has a big fan base and is a popular artist now a days.

This is the first page you see when you open the link to her website, as you can seen there is a layour where there is a sombre feeling to it, there is a picture of Lady Gaga because its her website, there are also tour dates for her tour on the furst page.

When you enter the site, you come to the home page which has different tabs on it, the first one is Haus which when you click on it send you back this home page, the second tab is Info.


The Info page shows information about Lady Gaga, here you can see she is nominated for three MTV EMAs. There is also information given about her music and videos which have been uploaded to the website, the video that is ont he werbsite at the moment is 'Marry The Night.' On the music page there are pictures of the front covers of her albums. Also on the info page there is another sub page called Gagavision which shows home videos that she herself has uploaded, there is also a photo page where photos of her album covers, tours and music videos have been uploaded and posted.
