Media presentation - my progress thus far

I presented my research up to the planning stage, what i had done, how effective it had been and where it had taken me. It was a usefull tool to analyse where i started in this project and where i was heading, and to gain feedback form an audience on my ideas and my thought process. I have attached my notes at the bottom.



-          I looked into the Different types of advertising, codes and conventions, examples
-          Then i looked at the Theory behind advertising – how it works
-          I did A lot of background research into advertising, the psychology of it, some theorys of consumer involvement, how it works  and why?, advertising standards, process of producing adverts etc.
-          -i knew from the start I was interested in animation
-          - looked at Toyota Yaris advert, rotoscoping, and had a go with that idea, experimenting, focusing on the mise en scene of the advert
-          Looked at Moleskine planners, loved the advert, feel of it, style, clever
-          Looked at stop motion,  made a small scene, many problems with it
-          Bad lighting, poor sound quality, shot length etc
-          Research into stop motion, use of sound for verisimilitude, lighting, colour, symbolism, metaphors
-          Difficulties with this? Easy to look shoddy and amateur
-          Looked at the ancillary tasks, synergy between them
-          Creating a strong brand, how?
-          Chipotle advert – think this is wonderful, the whole feel, sound, camera, mise en scene works beautifully together
-          This is where i came to a halt, didn’t know the product and needed to focus my research down specifically but didn’t know what to do
-          Thought about everything, but knew i wanted a product that mass market, new brand of an everyday item, and look into differentiating that product through advertising.
-          Settled on a dairy product – probably a new brand of milk, why?
-          Research on dairy market, actually falling sales, but increasing spending on advertising
-          Lot of research into cravendale, most successful branded milk – why? USP, really good ad campaign, also uses stop motion, is this conventional? Not unique. Ad co. W+K london specialise in stylised graphic design and animated adverts
-          What next? I need to brand my product, really define what it is, before i can conduct audience surveys and plan an ad campaign
