Colour Scheme results.


Heather- "The berry is the perfect collection of girlyness with all the pinks, but I think the bottom right needs to be lighter because the top is so dark.

Alex-" I like the pink but I think there should be more colours as well not just pink but a lilac, so I say you mix the berry's and the purples".

Lucy-"I love them all apart from the neutrals (because they're too boring) and the blues(because they're too boyish).

Cathryn-" I think it's too pink and cliché I think it should be pop related and there should be pink in there just not is much. And the neutrals are too boring therefore my final decision for the colours is the summer brights because it's fun and playful which is what the pop genre is about.

Hannah-"I love the berry the most, the colours are perfect".

Font Ideas

I have picked several fonts that I think could be suitable for my poster and cd cover, I will later ask my peers which one they believe is the most appropriate for my products, these were found on DaFont.com.





















1. The first font Beauregard is very girly with the swirls and will stand out against any background and even though the actual font is basic the use of swirls around the letters makes it more interesting.

2. The Second font CamelotDeNada is simple but the fact that some of it is more faded than other bits makes it more interesting and if the picture is more extreme it may be neccesary to use a simple font so that it doesn't look over the top.

3. The third font OttoLand is very bold and slants to the side like Italic, it's not the most exciting but again could be used to tone down the poster and CD case.

4. The fourth font Rechtman is very elegant and pretty and can be seen as very girly and appealing to the target audience, this would look good against a black and white picture or something very demure.

5.The fifth font RhumaScript and is also elegant but there's something intriguing about it but also very girly and pretty so that can be related to the theme of the song and artist and also of the targeted audience.

6. The sixth StripesCaps is striped and different to all the others, this however isn't as easy to read therefore this may depend on the colours used.

7.Finally the seventh Soul_Handwriting is more edgy and looks like it could have been painted by a brush this can be related to the lyrics so it may be a good choice.

I will found out what my peers think of these font and evaluate which one is the best to use.

Letter to Hollywood Records

When researching Hollywood records I found that they have no public address so in order to contact them I would have to send a letter to them in order to gain permission for the song I wish to use for my A2 media project.

Selena Gomez-Love you like a love song lyric analysis

It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one,
So your melody will play on and on, with best of 'em
From this you get see that she knows that there are many songs to represent their love but she wants give the person she loves his own so everyone will know how much she loves him.

You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold miracle, lyrical
You've saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

From this she's saying that his love and him being in her life saves her, he's her whole life and she want's him to know that.
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
And I keep hittin' re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

The artist is expressing that she loves him and she wants the love to last, and that as long as she wants it they can have it.
Constantly, boy you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued

He's always in her mind, she always wants him and the love he gives cannot be described it's that magical.
I've been set free
I am hyptonized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful

From this you can tell that's she's telling him all the things she loves about him and how it makes her feel, the lyrics suggest that she was lost without him.
No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

The lyrics show that she declaring that she will only love him and she's only going to love him which shows with the theme of a love song, the complete declaration of love is present.

This poster relates to the CD cover and the whole theme of the album with the circus clothes and the backdrop of the circus tent. Her expression isn't happy which shows that there's vunarability in the video and she isn't always happy and she is in the eye of everyone as she sings in the song Circus "All eyes on me in the centre of the ring, just like a circus which shows that the does have the pressure on her. The colours tie in with the circus theme because a typical colour fo the circus is red and yellow, therefore they've played on that to make it more authentic.

CD Cover Analysis




In this front cover, the essence of Lady Gaga's quirkyness is shown the black and white image means it pops more against the back ground. This image relates to the main song of the album in where she is seen looking like this. It's showing the beauty in plain sight, this is who she is and this what you're going to see.
Rihanna is used in a close up, which is common when looking at Cd covers, the picture relates to the setting of the video and the warm tone. This is one of the summer hits therefore it uses that as it's base for the picture so it's all relative, the colours used are often used with the pop genre, lots of reds and pinks, bright colour.

Selena Gomez-Love you like a love song, (Ideas,conventions,setting etc)



Love you like a love song consists
of many different settings, the first
is set in a Japanese style karaoke
bar, in which the lyrics start to
appear on the screen to make it
more believeable and effective.
As the song continues the video
transitions to the karaoke screen
in which Selena is on in a different scene, the whole video has a
fantasy element which links to the message of the song that the
love is out of this worlds. Therefore there is the take on the mid-
night car rides watching the stars and being all loved up.This
continues through all the different settings playing on the
different idealistic conventions of love.
From this video I will take a few ideas adding my own twist on
the song and video. One Idea that I plan on taking forward is the use of lyrics on screen during the chorus to keep within the theme however I will use 3 girls compared to just 1 and they will all have different settings.

Target Audience

The target audience for my music video is girls in their teens to late twenties, therefore everything I do shall be linked with the target audience and whether or not it's suitable. The reason why I have chosen this age group is because I can relate to it and I know the things teenage girls like because I am one so with my ideas and the views of others within the target audience I will be able to create a music video that is perfect for my target audience
