Comparing Our Advert To Others

This post will compare our own advert (shown below) to other adverts from bands in the same genres/subgenres, as to show off the conventions that we used to create ours.

Our first example is the promotional poster for the single Mountains by Biffy Clyro. The image shows two lions (presumably male and female) fighting underwater. In the background of the image is a large underwater iceberg, which can also be viewed as having the lions frozen in time. The iceberg is a contrast to the title of the single, effectively being an upside down, water version of a mountain. The colours used are very calming, using several shades of blue and white, which contrasts with the lions fighting. The band are known for having quite fast paced songs but also a variety of slow, calming songs, which could explain the lions and the iceberg (using them as a metaphor to describe the bands style). The poster doesnt show the band and instead focuses on the artwork which further shows the bands creativity. In comparison to our advert, they both fit with the characteristics of their chosen genres.

Question 3 Draft

This presentation shows our draft for Question 3, it includes several pictures that we will use to focus our answer upon as well as a few paragraphs that explain the relevance of these photos to our answer.

January Mock Exam

The image below shows the result I received from sitting the January mock exam, which focused on Section A 1 (b).

My result was lower than I hoped for it to be, however our class have only just started looking at exam preparation as the first half of the year has been used to focus on coursework. Given all this, I believe that I have made a pretty successful attempt at tackling this question and that when the final exam comes I should be ready for it. The feedback that I have received from this will help me in order to achieve a higher grade when it comes to the final exam.

Question 4 Notes

Question 1 Draft

This text shows a draft of our answer to Question 1. We have highlighted some areas that talk about the theory behind our answer and will work on improving this on a later date.
