Update..

So I took a camera home this holiday but got it home and found that it didnt work. Then I tried charging it but it wasnt happening for me!
We were going to record the footage of the woman doing the chores round the house. Obviously cant now. But will do it as soon as we get back so it is done in that week.

Possible music for ads...

Here are a few bits of music that we found whilst looking through my itunes. Not sure on some of them, kind of depends what sort of avenue we want to go down...

We thought that we could either take the cheesy approach with these songs....

* Bend me Shape me

* Lifting me Higher

* Be young, Be foolish

* Funky town

* Ain't no mountain high enough

* My baby dont care

* Papa got a brand new bag

* Black Betty

* Girls Just wanna have fun

* Whistle while you work

* ABC

* She's a Lady

* There she goes

* Pretty Woman

* She's moves in her own ways

* All day and all night

* Wipe out

* Turn around bright eyes

* You make me feel like a natural Woman

Or we could take a more serious approch. As in a piece of music that is impowering and suggests that it is ' a small step for man, a massive step for man kind'. For example...

* Acker Bilk/ Stranger on the shore

* Four seansons- spring

* Con te partiro

* Prince Ali (although slightly cheesy at the same time!!)

* Ennio Morricone/ Chi Mai

* Enya/ The Celts

* Fleetwood Mac/ Albatross

* Golden Brown

* Incantation/ Cacharpaya

Shooting Schedule

Here is our shooting schedule which we plan to put into action as soon as we have completed our storyboards. We have given ourseleves a final deadline to get all our filming done, this is so we have something to wrok for and have plenty of time for editing.

Advert 3:

As you can see they still need work on and we need to make the corrections too certain shots. We plan to do this over this half term.

First Draft of Storyboards...

Here are the first drafts of all three of our storyboards. Im really sorry the quality of some of these are rubbish, only I used my scanner at home and it is useless!

Advert 1:

Maybelline adverts and codes & conventions...

After picking the brand for our product I was able to look at the adverts that have already been done for their products. Here are some I found:



This advert uses a lot of close up shots of the lips, this makes them seem very sexy and seductive. They use the 'list of three' approach making the product seem fantastic and they also give instruction into how to put the lipstick on. This is slightly different to other adverts for lipsticks as you would normally assume that someone could put a lipstick on. This would suggest that the product is unique and better!





This advert was an older one from 1984. They have used a woman and once again showed her as very sexy and allering. The parrellel non digetic music they play reinforces the calm feel of the advert as if the lady is at one with nature. This would suggest a natural beauty.




Once again the woman in this advert appear very confident and sexy. The lipstick appears to boost there femininity. This has been consistant throughout all three. Showing that one of the codes and conventions for these lipsticks ads is using woman as a sexual object to promote the lipsticks, many brands use this technique. Also I have noticed that they are quite serious throughout the ads, not much hummour is used.
These are things we will need to note when coming up with our own advert ideas!
