DVD analysis

We analysed the DVD for 'Steps Gold: Greatest hits'.

The front cover has the four members of the band, clearly in the middle with the Title (name of the band) above them. Easily recognizable to any audience
Underneath it also has the name of the DVD itself. The band members are wearing gold costumes, which links with the name of the DVD. This is creating almost a theme.


The back has a list of the song names with running times of each song in the centre of the back cover. It also above has a description of what is featured in the DVD, for example music videos, a video shoot and some never before seen footage.
Underneath the song titles there is a collage of screen shots featured in the DVD, they are all close ups of band members, this is selling the artist.
At the very bottom it Copyrights, technical, credits, barcode and small print. It also includes a website for more information on Steps for their fan base and also information about the record company.
However it does not include an age certificate. Meaning it appeals to a wider audience as anyone any age can watch it even buy it.


On the inside, it has the actual DVD on the right hand side. It has a strip running along the bottom with information on the Gold: Greatest Hits tour dates.
Also behind the DVD it has a list of previous singles with the single covers, which i assume are included in the DVD.

Analyse the feedback

We think the feedback was mainly correct. If we had more room then we could have done a range of shots and had a better layout.

As the task was not to copy the origonal we wore our own clothes and didn't completely copy the band. Although the clothes that ACDC wore were not big and wacky.

Our idea was to spoof guitar hero so we didn't want to use real instruments as this is just a stereotypical representation of the music genre.

Overall we are happy with our feedback, we think it is fair and now know what we can do to improve for next time

Analyasis of film poster

This film poster focus's mainly on the villan in the story. Anyone who has seen or read batman, will know it is the 'Joker' and reconize that the image on the wall is ment to represnt him. He catch pharse above the picture aswell 'Why so serious?' is easily reconizeable by fans



This is a single cover for AC DC, like the poster above it has the red picture to attract the audience and the recognisable image of something related to the product including the title however it differs because this seems more like a picture whereas the film poster looks a bit like a photograph

New plan

Because bringing in instruments has been seen as a problem, we have changed our idea instead to bringing in Guitar Hero controllers. These can been broken down so can therefore fit in bags etc.

We are also going to get a clip of someone playing the game (Youtube) and edit it in, when we have finished filming to make it look as if we are actually playing.

It will be comical with the instruments but at the same time serious.

We have chosen to film most of it in the media studio, in the dark room to add effect. The rest will be cuts of us outside walking and posing. We have planned to shoot the whole song in all the different locations, so when it comes to editing we will have more choice.

We have looked at real ACDC videos to see there style and also just how they work together and move etc.

Lip Sync practice

Today in lesson we had to practice editing a past project to ensure the music and miming were synchronised. The music we had to edit was You Wanna What. We were able to achieve this by using Final Cut. By using markers we could match up the music and video clips to create a full
length music video without it being out of time.

Plan for one minute video
