Under The Surface

Under the surface Situated documentary using Development Coding skills. To make this app we used XCODE in swift language. The app guide shows the functions we considered and used in our app. Our app took users on a ghost walk around bournemouth at 3 particular locations where subjects were found to talk about their paranormal experiences. We so far have 3 locations but hope to create more in the future.

Intentions for future plans or diagrams for our App- As our locations are quite away from each other, to improve the app we would create more of a user journey where they can be entertained traveling from one location to another during the ghost walk. This is due to the user may becoming disinterested if its a 10 minute drive or 30 minute walk away. For instance, we could add themed music throughout the background of the app so when user is driving they can be entertained yet meet health and safety regulations due to the no-phone law while driving. And for user walking we would of hoped to create a little quiz on the documentary they just watched on the subjects experiences and the location history. These improvements could allow us to collect data and analytics on our users which could tell us more about who we are appealing to.

Subjects interviewed within the app

I love travelling and for year 11 i spent the year raising money to go on a 3 week trip to Namibia in South Africa. within these 3 weeks i travelled, went to a safari and volunteered at a deprived school for a week where we helped build a playground and more games for the school. They loved their new swings, slide, pretend car and playground activities. 

I knew living conditions were going to be bad but i was in shock more that the family conditions are worse. With poverty so bad the parents have no jobs to provide for their family, therefore they travelled to the city leaving their children to provide for themselves. Therefore kids were left for over a week with their sibling of 10 looking after their 5 other siblings for a week who were as young as 2. 

I visited inside where they live where each hut was as small as a toilet cubicle. One bed filled with loads of blankets. Yes, they all slept in one bed, all 5 kids. It stank and was so damp from the broken cardboard as a door to protect them at night. At first the kids were trying to hide it by saying you cant come in but once they checked they allowed us in. What they were checking was if there auntie wasn't drinking, drunk at 4pm. 

Children were walking around with no shoes on all day with glass smashed everyone due to the alcoholic problem they have in their town. Kids were shouted away from the local food shop due to them eating or stealing food to help their starving tummy’s. We bought crisps one day and a few crumbs were left on the floor. Then and there the kids came up licking the floor for any last bit of food. On the last night, we were meant to be celebrating the kids talents and instead a accident outside the school where a drunk driver collided into a family car out-broke. I children in the car died instantly. In the town the rang a bell every-time there was a death in the town as it was a big problem. 

Yet the children were so lovely and just were so excited to see us. They were so fascinated by cameras, photography and filming, i thought them a bit about it. They had not had a visitor in 16 years.

i was touched by this experience. My video was shown in assembly to document our experience with the company we went with. Today, me and my mum regally hold charity events at our house to raise money for things like toilets and sanctuary towels.

My first Brief asked to create a documentary in bournemouth. We choose to raise awareness for mental healthy as it was mental health awareness week.

This was the first documentary i created and this was definitely a learning curve  as it included many sensitive issues. We choose to follow just normal people on a day shopping and see what experiences people had. I learnt a lot about some people not wanting to open up on camera or audio and learnt a lot that many peoples families have suffered from mental health.

Representation of my own perfume print ad"So Serene"

This task included making my own print ad for a perfume bottle i created. To do this i used my own photography, graphics and photoshop.

The denotation of this print ad media campaign is displaying a girl at a dreamy beach with a light background sunset. She is standing on a pier to the far right with good posture looking down at the perfume bottle in her hand. There are cute fairy lightings hanging in the top corner. She is dressed up all fancy for a night ahead of her with her costume being a lacy burgundy red evening dress. It addresses both, the fragrance name “so serene” in a black feminine font along with the slogan “calm, in the crowd” in a smaller font beneath it. This handwriting is swirly and very attractive to the target audience as its very eye caching as I complements well with the image. This makes it easier for the public to discover the perfume as it stand outs amongst the light colourful background. The gold logo “LB” makes the fragrance more classy and appealing. Furthermore, there is a bunch of social media apps and links to where the audience can discover more. The perfume bottle is a glowing light pink clear bottle with a fascinating gold and white swirly bottle top and it’s in a triangular prism form. The name of the perfume bottle is also stated clearly in dark pink on the bottle itself to make the advertisement top priority. The sweet floral scent is for those who like light fragrances.

However, the image has a further meaning so therefore the connotation is that the girl came to this beautiful place to put her mind at rest and ease her conscious with the therapeutic sounds of the waves. This ad is portraying a confident sophisticated calm girl. The top swirly bottle cap implies an image of waves shifting around to create a peaceful edge. The sunset is effective as it signifies another ending to a day meaning putting all the dire things behind us and let your thoughts relax. Furthermore the sunset is a beautiful aspect generally making people calm indicating a happy ending. It suggests that if you use this wonderful perfume you will magically feel hundred times better as it immediately will release any kind of stress. The audience will get the impression that you will turn into someone like the elegant model in the ad.

Although direct address is not used its very effective how she’s looking at the perfume as its the main topic for the ad meaning all her attention is purely focused on the product implying she has a lot of confidence in the perfume.

The lighting of this image is mostly pure natural lighting of the evening sky. Although the scenery is quite light it is dim and shady compared to the rest of the image so the fragrance bottle will stand out more. However the perfume has a glowing edge to it to make it stand out a lot against the background. Also the fairy lights are bright to suggest an evening party atmosphere.

The main image is a girl in the foreground holding her perfume fragrance in a beautiful island. The girl is a typical modern stereotype who looks very unique with her gingery brownish hair. Her pail skin with freckles complements the vulnerable touch. She follows the criteria of having good posture, skinny, tall and beautiful look to entice the audience so they aspire to be just like her. Also her gorgeous look contrast with the delicate touch of the perfume fragrance.

The medium shot shows from the waist above, screening the sea, sunset and pier in the background. This is an effective shot as it shows the model and the perfume which are the two most important aspects. Moreover, this shot show detail meaning there’s more intimacy with the audience. The camera shot is slightly below eye level which suggests a more friendly tone and she has more power over the audience which is true as the audience is looking up at her to have faith in this product.

The mise en scene is based around a girl who easily gets stress in different atmospheres she’s not comfortable with. As soon as she finds the perfume bottle she suddenly feels perfect and confident and struts back to the party pier with a massive grin on her face.

I believe the social grade classification for this perfume is for people under the category B and C1. I believe this as people under these categories are willing to pay for luxury items. The lifestyle grouping is based for mainstreamers as it helps their security knowing that it has a fan base, it’s very popular and well trusted from the amazing advertisements. They also may be succeeders as the perfume story is that the character suffers from stress and the spray releases her stress. Stress mostly comes under this category as they work hard to get their money and they are able to afford a luxury item like this and they deserve a reward.

The uses and gratification is for the adverts to inform the audience about the new upcoming perfume which may influence discussions of social interaction of this new product with family and friends. Customers may use this perfume to boost their self-esteem as there feel more confident if they smell nice as they will probably get a lot more attention. The language used for the adverts will make the target audience want to go out and buy the perfume as they have been influenced and persuaded. Also the ad will be entertaining attracting more future buyers for the institution.

The institution has recently been introduced and is called “LB” and it’s a luxury brand. The institution use no celebrity endorsement but use ordinary people instead as this story is just about ordinary people who deal with stress. Both the print ad and the storyboard act together in synergy as the sequence finishes on the pier in the storyboard which is where the print ad is shot. The target audience is for teenagers and early 20s who are mostly students as firstly the model in the image is a teen therefore the audience has to also be around that level. Secondly, people who are typically stuck in these stressful situations are teen’s as they are still experimenting. The sunset suggests it’s an evening perfume however it also can be implied that you can spray it whenever you’re feeling down. The slogan is “calm in the crowd” which a lot of ordinary students will love as there is a lot of worrying stressful situations like overcrowded parties, anxiety and exams. Also the audience is in education so they are unlikely to have a highly paid job yet so it’s important the bottle is priced at a standard price.

The primary audience are for those who are interested in the perfume and want to buy it therefore meaning they are the target audience. However, the secondary audience are for the people not buying the perfume for themselves but they are buying it for the primary audience person. The ad will engage all type of audiences as someone could be buying it as gift as it good to make advertisements look good in any possible way.

The Storyboard starts in an overcrowded dark party room, however, the shot starts to get blurry and one girl stands out as she looks terrified and anxious so she exits the building. The character is wearing the average jeans and a basic top like any ordinary person. The next scene is her running on the streets toward the pier where she realises in the distance a glowing perfume floating into the sea shore. She dashes towards it out of curiosity and she slowly picks it up and sprays it and instantly she has a party gear out fit on and her spirit has changed. She is wearing a burgundy lace elegant dress to show off her posture. Out of the corner of her eye she spots a party on the pier and is instantly intrigued so she confidently struts in and has a blast of a time. The final sequence is her happily dancing and then suddenly shifting her position of her head to directly say to the audience “be your calm in the crowd”. She turns back and continues dancing with everyone. Then suddenly the image fades out into a white screen and the perfume bottle is enlarged with the advertisements to the side like the tittle, the slogan and the social media. The slogan represents that in any stressful situations you can be calm with the perfume. A feminine voice reads out “so serene” instantly when the writing is type onto the white screen.

Both my print ad and storyboard show many similarities being that the same fragrance bottle, model and location are used. This shows that there is synergy between the two different media convention to create a better advertisement and it also makes the product stronger in popularity as there is a strong connection. Both contain the same name “so serene” and same slogan “calm in the crowd” to create a better message. My storyboard has a scene showing the print ad which is relevant for the audience to see so there can be a contrast and link between the two. The adverts portray a feeling of pretty scenery and therapeutic sunset. Although, in the storyboard it does show a very violent scene at the party to show what it’s like without the perfume in your life.

This was my GCSE Project on using photography, photoshop, fashion and typical marketing conventions together to produce my own front cover magazine aimed for a particular season and target demographic.

The denotation shows a model showing off her clothes, her arm are above her head holding a check jacket above her head which is a very unique pose.  Also she is focusing her eyes to the side of her which makes it a lot more mysterious. The additional image detonates a sunset shining through the autumn red leaves on a tree. There is also a massive lake in the background.

The connotation implies if a model can rock out this edgy autumn style look so can you, (the audience). The beautiful model will attract the audience because she wants to come out of inner shell and unleash the beauty within her which will hopefully inspire students to do the same who are the target audience. The audience gets the impression from the editor of the magazine, that if you follow the craze of the season then you’re automatically fit in with the crowd, be popular and have an amazing season ahead of you as you have the right essentials. The connotation of the background depends on the reader and the emotions they may provoke. For example it could covey peace, calmness and nature which the audience may find relaxing and therapeutic. She is stereotyped as she’s thin and beautiful and she is wearing natural makeup which emphasizes her lips and eyes. Her radiant big smile creates a positive atmosphere. The whole of her front teeth is showing implying that she is beaming with excitement over the new craze. She is looking away from the audience which suggests that this is not false advertisement it’s all natural and she’s not posing for the camera.

The demographic for this specific magazine called ‘craze’ is aimed for around the 14 to 25 category. The reason why it’s aimed for this specific age category is because the outfit the model is wearing is for a special occasion which you would wear to parties or events which mostly this age group attends to as they are still students. Also females are generally more into make-up and fashion especially teenagers as they want to fit in more. Also people may be interested in this if they are interested in heating healthy and has passion for different seasons. The lifestyle grouping I would class more of mainstreamers because they obviously want to follow more of the latest trends and they are promised good fashion sense for autumn. The social grading of this magazine is classed around c and b, I believe this category because the model is in the student age category so it will attract more that age. Although some students may not be able to afford it however they always want to read up about some gossip and there are always their parents. This magazine has is priced at £2.99 and it states that at the slanted at the side of the barcode. The magazine uses a barcode to show clearly where the price will stand but it would be hidden when shelved as it’s on the bottom right.

The uses and gratification is for teenagers and mid 20s women who want to be informed about the latest new trends to ear for the upcoming season. The sort of people who would pick up this magazine would be interested in makeup, fashion, diets, healthy skin and hair and lastly celebrity gossip. The purpose is to satisfy the needs of the audience who are interest in the topic fashion. Evidence to support that this magazine is on the topic fashion as it clearly states on the cover lines ‘autumn fashion starts here’.  The public may use this as a talking point for discussion as they want to be part of this new trend.

This magazine uses a pug which is located on the right hand top corner and quotes ‘smart shopping’ which gives the audience advice to how to shop properly and stress free and it approaches a modern take. The puff states ‘win a Calvin Klein dress’ which will attract a lot of the audience as who doesn’t want to win something for free. This is an interesting style to get the audience attention as it stands out, bright and eye catching.

The seasonal theme for this is aimed for the autumn. This magazine is clearly very obvious on showing that it’s this season from the autumnal reddish background and it clearly states at the corner ‘autumn fashion starts here’.  Also the date the magazine was published was ‘October 2015’ which is autumn time when leaves begin to fall.

The shot type used is a medium shot as it shows her full body up to her hips and it’s taken at eye level. She isn’t using direct address but instead looking to the side which implies the model wants to be original and her own self not just posing to the camera.  The lighting used is high key as it shows the model clearly which creates a happy and overall cheerful mood. The background is slightly darker which makes the model stand out more. This is effective and the model is more the subject of the magazine.

This magazine uses hyperbolic language meaning its over exaggerated however this make the magazine a whole lot more persuasive and will  hopefully get a lot of future buyers. For example it uses persuasive language on ‘must have’ as it may not be relevant to all the audience. It also has a formal tone added as its advertisement.

The colour scheme is based around autumn so it shows intense colours like red. The colour red is associated with energy, power and strength suggesting the writer wants to convey the model as being sophisticated. It also symbolizes passion and love suggesting the model to be very friendly towards the audience. The autumnal background also complements the models outfit as she’s wearing a bold red dress which matches in with leaves. This is effective as it describes to the audience why it’s in the autumn style category.  The texts used are written with 3 main colours which are white, black and a reddish pinkish on the masthead. The reason why some of the cover lines are written in white is because white implies purity and perfection which makes the audience feel inspired. However the other text colour is completely opposite meaning as its black which implies that you’re hidden from the world, mysterious and secretive. This suggests that the model is trying to set a trend to teenagers to come out of your shell and be your own kind of beautiful and it also shares the secrets of handy fashion tips.

The masthead is light pink with a stroke of red on the outline of the font, this makes it stand out more and it collects a good impression to the audience as the target audience is for girls and it gives of a very feminine side. The reason why I decided not to cover the model above the masthead is because I wanted the magazine name craze to stand out more as it gives the audience an idea on what their buying. I called the magazine ‘craze’ because it’s a synonym of fashion and the meaning of it is an activity or object which appears suddenly. Also, it achieves wide-spread and is very popular but it is a short lived popularity but that’s correct for this magazine as it’s only a season style. The style of the font is very appealing as it’s a popular feminine advertising font which is bold and uses colours suitable for teens and the season. The cover lines I decided to use were very eye-catching as they talk about more than one topic which gets more attention from the audience. Some of the examples include ‘fashion to flatter every figure’ which is very memorisable as it uses a bit of alliteration. This is also a good as the audience is around teenagers so they all grow at different pastes and it just says you’ll perfect just the way you are. I decided to use the area of the left side third for important statement cover lines as it will receive future buyers if the audience can see all the persuading technique words on the shelves when they are stacked.

The mise-en-scene of the main image shows a young model exploring in the woods for an autumn walk around a beautiful lake. She is using her checked shirt as a prop to suggest it’s the season when it’s half cold half not and also to suggest there’s so many fashion choices either casual or party night out and she can’t decide so she mixes it up.
