Mark Ronson T.V advert



The advert starts off with a young boy talking about who's album it is and what the album is called ( Mark Ronson and the business international, Record collection ) whilst in the background a song from the album "The bike song" is being played, We see that the advert is made with moving dolls or plasticine people. These dolls/characters are the people in the album as we later see in the advert.






The first thing we see in the advert is the doll version of mark ronson getting into his car and putting his record in the passenger seat. This is so we can see what the record looks like and what the album is called.The boy then says "The bike song" is on the album and we hear the song from the minute the advert begins and it becomes the main focus just after the boy states the name of the song (5 second duration). The doll version of mark ronson then pulls up to a house and we are introduced to the people who are on the album, they are also in doll form. One of the dolls then puts on the record and the boy states another song called "Bang Bang Bang", the song then starts to play in the background and the dolls are seen partying. I believe this is shown to represent that his record is supposed to be played at party's, also that the songs on the album fall under the pop- techno genre. With the record name being called record collection I believe that this backs up what I said earlier about the songs being played at party's because you have a collection of records that you would play at party's and the album is implying that this is the only album you need.













 

Digi pack analysis



This is the digi pack for Linkin Park's reanimation, this is what the front of the pack looks like.

There is a flying robot on the front this is taken from their album hybrid theory, the robot takes up most of the front cover i believe this robot is a symbol of this CD so people know which CD it is if they were to purchase it. The bands name is at the top and the album name is at the bottom to be clearly seen. the typography can be related to linkin park by the worn away effect on the letters making it appear as rock.





This is the back of the digi pack, it has the same kind of style as the front(green with robot) and shows the songs on the album. at the top of the album it states the albums name and tells us that the album is a remix of Linkin Parks original songs, to the right of the name it says who has remixed them. On the spine of the album it says the band name and album name again, we are told at the bottom that this digi pack includes bonus multi-media content, this could mean a DVD, interactivity or a poster. We see at the bottom that we have a bar code which is important, so the pack can be sold in shops. Just below that we see copyright information the bands record label and also who has produced the album.

Digipack

A digipack is a cd in a cardboard case with artwork on the case

Artist, related to music video artwork, songs, artist name, record label, website, copyright, barcode, artist and album on spine of case, might need parental advisory.

A record label would release a digipack. Rather then a jewel case because it is cheaper for the company. (promo case) (dvd logo)

The consumer gets artwork related to the song artist
