In gifted and talented this weeek we have been discussing cover versions...
For homework i have looked at the Alexandra verison of 'Hallalujah' compared to the original by Jeff Buckley. I like Alexandras version better beacuse its more modern and feminime and its my style of music.

Derren Brown channel 4 show

Today I watched the Derren Brown show on channel 4 and, I was quite amazed at the things that derren brown was making Matt do. In my opinion I think that what he does is amazing and beyond explanation it has a sort of supernatural element to it and it freaks me out. I am still wondering how he did all those insane things.It might be fake it might not you never know "seeing is believing" is what I believe .

Introduction to Advertising

For this project, we have learnt about Maslow's Theory. He discussed audience's needs which helps us to identify the purpose behind adverts, for example, the need for affiliation. The advert could be about friendship and make the audience feel the need for the product to help them make friends.

We also learnt how to do radial and written analyses. We learnt to think about TAP when looking at adverts - text, audience, purpose. Furthermore, we learnt that analyses have four parts - label, describe the feature, analyse the connotations of the product and say how it attracts the audience.

From my product research, I learnt that adverts need slogans, product name, brand names and logo. Plus I have to consider the camera angles and distances, the image, colours and layout.
