I have begun seeking inspiration across social media platforms and video streaming services. Already I have a cinematic image forming in my head - although I have the promotional product still to ascertain. The use of proverbial phrases in advertising is effective in engaging and familiarising a target audience. I have my eye set on one in particular: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" - a simple phrase which can be contextually placed in a range of narratives.

Another early thought under consideration concerns a phrase to promote a Canon camera - "Canon - for moments worth capturing." This message may be accompanied by a single shot wherein specific moments are reduced to slow motion and other events sped up.

Recognising the specific age, gender, professional status, social and economic group of the target audience etc. will be essential in refining the promotional video to best appeal to these viewers. Consequently, I can say that the message of my advertisement is to buy Cadbury products for Easter. My intended audience includes families who celebrate Easter. Specifically, families with 5 - 14 year old children will be targeted. In order to appeal to this group, I will strive to create an overall joyous tone through bright colour and lighting, humour and a relatable setting. Essentially, featuring a child in the video will encourage youthful viewers to persuade their parents to buy the product.]]> 2018-03-04 23:48:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/237874264 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/238515484 The task of creating a list of 80 promotional concepts was a challenge, but has offered wonderfully inspirational results. I have reflected upon my initial ideas and, as an experimental process, combined them with particular products from the list. As a result I have begun to think broadly - an example being reconstructing the context of one of my intended advertising phrases, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket", to define eggs as EASTER or CHOCOLATE eggs, rather than that associated with a chicken. I was then able to consider different chocolate brands, and look into previous examples of Easter advertisements. Accordingly, I have narrowed my product down to Cadbury's chocolate; specifically to Easter eggs (particularly relevant to today's audience given the countdown to Easter).

Referring first to narrative 1, it encompasses elements of humour and tradition (in the event of an egg hunt), however seems to put the celebration of Easter in a bad light with the collapse of the chocolate mountain and upset of the child. Similarly, narrative 2 utilises humour to engage the target audience, however maintains the joy and excitement associated with the Easter Holiday. As Cadbury is often known to produce fun, colourful ads, and the Easter celebration is filled with joy, families who celebrate the holiday will expect the associated advertisement to uphold these same values. In respect to the target viewers, I choose to produce narrative 2 and consequently convey a sense of nostalgia (through the Easter egg hunt), humour and joy.]]> 2018-03-06 09:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/238515533 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/238524974 2018-03-06 10:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/238524974 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/238545963 1.

- Location - Initially I deemed my backyard as a good location to film, however after observing it closer I noticed the overwhelming presence of trees cast dark shadows around the garden which is not ideal for the mood of the piece. Consequently I have decided to film at a nearby public park.
- Actors - I have a younger sister who is 16, however looks of and can play a younger age.
- Props - To create the mound of Easter eggs in the basket, I will be required to purchase a variety of Cadbury eggs and a basket. My father owns a ladder I can use for the egg placement shot.
- Camera Equipment - My own camera an tripod at home will suffice to meet the requirements of the video.
- Music and sound effects - I think leaving these elements to post-production will be easiest. Focusing on the visual elements is my main concern at present.
- Costume - Matching long sleeve and long pant pyjamas with a childish pattern will reenforce the target audience and is appropriate to the film's egg hunt context.

All aspects of the video must be evaluated to not only create a realistic environment, but properly present humour and joy in a persuasive and engaging way. In terms of colour, post-production applications such as After Effects and Premiere Pro can be easily used to increase saturation or brightness of specific colours. These programs will ultimately used to put the video together.]]> 2018-03-14 01:56:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/241688999 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/241691574 I have reviewed my video outline and have found a range of production challenges I will have to overcome. Firstly, my vision of the mountain of eggs within the basket will be impossible to recreate in reality. I have considered using a long wire to thread the eggs on top of each other and subsequently create the illusion of a ridiculous egg tower.
Another issue may ensue with the use of external lighting. The shoot was planned to be located in a public park, however weather and lighting conditions are often unpredictable, therefore a backup plan should be considered.
Acquiring all the props and costumes needed will also be a challenge as, for example, Easter eggs may be scarce by the time of filming, therefore these should be bought in advance.
Overcoming these challenges will hopefullyensure a smooth shoot and minimal issues.]]> 2018-03-14 02:14:06 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/241691574 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/244321935 During my research and analysis of scholarly articles, I was able to extract important information that will influence elements of my promotional video. Reading about the history of Cadbury allowed me to form an idea of audience expectation and company values. Cadbury was established in Britain sometime around 1914 before expanding manufacture overseas a few years later. It was originally a family owned small business before it's growth into one of the most popular companies for chocolate and confectionery. One of the first slogans used in advertising their chocolate was "Absolutely pure and therefore best" - evidence of the pride Cadbury have in regards to product quality. This is one example of information to possibly influence or be included in my advertisement.]]> 2018-03-21 00:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/244321935 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/244369948 One of the best ways to expand my creative thinking was to record a range of ideas on a mind map. Through brainstorming different perspectives about Cadbury and Easter associations, I decided to use the proverbial phrase "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" and twist it to coincide with the Easter celebration. As a result of this activity I was able to develop a unique concept for my promotional video to thus attract the attention of my intended audience.]]> 2018-03-21 05:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/244369948 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248011290 In order to create a coherent style across all mediums of my product, intended visual elements were determined. Consistent colours, shapes, fonts, logos and imagery will be found across the promotional video and website. Using Paletton I was able to create a colour palette appropriate to the Cadbury brand and celebration of Easter. In reality, Cadbury has trademarked a specific shade of purple, complimentary to the colour of their product, chocolate brown. I will implement this effect in my own design. The use of swirly designed fonts represents melted chocolate, therefore creating a consistent visual style across the logo, font and product. This design also speaks of personality within the font and evokes fun and excitement. An article written by Chiara Aliotta about the effect of emotion in typography revealed the importance of fonts in creating the mood of a design and eliciting audience emotion. I will attempt to create a joyous atmosphere through bright colours and interesting typography to put the audience in a positive mood.]]> 2018-04-03 07:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248011290 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248012813 After researching and profiling this audience, I began to consider expectations and preconceived notions this group may have about Cadbury and Easter. Previous Cadbury advertisements have proven to consistently involve exciting and celebratory events. Some are rather unusual e.g. the children with crazy eyebrows and gorilla drumming, which are most memorable. Viewer's therefore associate unique, creative, bright advertisements with Cadbury. Regarding the Easter celebration, different viewers may have different associations with the holiday - whether that be a wholly religious experience, a family occasion or a reason to eat chocolate all day. I thought about the reaction I want to elicit after my specific promotion of the brand and decided upon excitement, joy and humour.]]> 2018-04-03 07:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248012813 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248352735 The colour palette I devised incorporated elements associated with both Easter and the Cadbury brand. #331180 is Cadbury's signature colour purple and can be paired nicely with the colour of their product, chocolate brown. Shades of green are not only complementary to purple, but also represent the colour of environmental elements which usually conceal Easter eggs e.g. grass, bushes, trees etc.
In terms of font, basic serif fonts will be featured for headings and paragraphs in order to be easily read, however still have interesting flourishes. These secondary fonts also coincide with the brand logo.]]> 2018-04-04 02:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/248352735 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249104895 This week, I began exploring different sound options appropriate to my promotional video. The use of playful music will support the absurd and joyful mood I am attempting to create. To create contrast and focus on visual elements, silence and low humming will be used during the placement of the final egg on the tower. I plan to use background music from a royalty-free site, however may also play around with my own compositions.]]> 2018-04-06 03:49:37 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249104895 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249120346 Promotional video entitled "The Leaning Tower of Cadbury". ]]> 2018-04-06 06:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249120346 ellsk004 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249126763 2018-04-06 07:06:48 UTC https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/249126763 Bob2024 https://padlet.com/ellsk004/h2j5p1jnolls/wish/1348323418 sex?
