Analysis of Promotional Video - This is iPhone 12 Pro - Apple

Sound

Non Diegetic - Narration engages the audience whilst informing them on the specifications of the product. The narrator uses facts and statistics when speaking bout the phone, this has been done as it makes the source seem more reliable and trustworthy to an audience as they seem to know what they are talking about.

Non-Diegetic - Soundtrack - this matches the fast paced editing which allows the video to flow quickly in order to deliver a large amount of information in a short timeframe. 

Editing

Use of slow-motion close up footage of the device force the audience to view the phone for longer which allows them to take in the beauty of the device whilst also familiarising them with the device making it more memorable and feel very natural in their head, when you think about a product a lot you end up wanting it.

The use of CGI allows the brand to create amazing videos which both inform and visually stimulate the audience. They have used CGI to show us the processor inside the phone which makes it so impressive, although many people in the audience do not understand the visuals make it easy for everyone to follow along with the advert. 

Editing is fast paced in order to deliver as much information as possible in a short period of time, many audiences will chose to change the channel or skip the advert if it is too long therefore Apple has made sure to make the advert concise and entertaining to keep the audience engaged.

Camera Angle

Use of low angle shots makes the phone look big and impressive to an audience making them more likely to purchase the product.

Use of low angle shots of the horses makes them look impressive, this suggests to the audience that the camera is impressive as they are able to capture such powerful footage. The horses entice an audience base of explorers as they would find the rural footage exciting and adventurous. 

Shot Types

Landscape Shots of rural locations are used to entice an audience of explorers into wanting to use the product, in order to further entice this audience psychographics they show slow-motion footage showings horse running in a beautiful landscape, this both engages the audience whilst showing them the capabilities of the product.

Lighting Setups and Techniques

High Key Lighting  This is where there is a strong key light in the scene and the fill light is very intense causing softer shadows and less contrast. High Key lighting is used to create a very well lit scene usually with multiple light sources. This form of lighting is created when there are soft shadows and very little contrast therefore, the use of soft boxes and diffusers can help create a well lit scene which doesn't contain too many shadows. If the light source you used is very small this will create more contrast and shadows therefore, it is best to use large lights which will cover you entire scene. As well as being able to physically alter your lighting you can also change your brightness and contrast levels in post-production in order to make the shot exactly how you want it. High key lighting is used most commonly in commercials and interviews where you don't need shadows and contrast for dramatic effect (Adobe). It can also be used other situations for example in fi...

Evaluation of Development of Practical Skills Across Course

Throughout this year I believe I have been able to learn a variety of practical skills which will benefit me when working in a professional environment. I have been able to evidence communication with my clients, completing health and safety protocols, setting up lighting and camera equipment to a standard acceptable to a client, completing promotional work to a standard acceptable to a client, completed all pre-production and idea generating work to a standard acceptable to a client and I have also justified my design methods across all the units I have undertaken.  Communicating with Client When completing units which involve completing work for a client I made sure to deal with the unit in a professional manner as if I was working in a professional environment. For example when completing my promotional video, I made sure to set up a video call every Friday in which I would show the client all the work I had produced so far each week, within that call I would gather feedback fro...

Scheduling

 Gannt Chart  I have created a Gannt chart in order to plan out my the production/planning/editing/evaluating of the production. I have made sure to space everything out and give myself realistic timescales to finish each and every task. The tasks have been split into different sections in order to keep it organised and to show a better visual representation of which tasks should be started first. The first section is planning, I have put this first as you must plan a video before you can produce it, the planning section contains all the tasks which I believe relate to planning for example, analysing music videos, researching music videos theories, analysing the song I want to produce and create all relevant documents such as storyboards. The next section is productions, the sections contains all actions I must take in relation to shooting the video for example, finding equipment, actors and props needed, shooting the video, watching footage back and shooting more footage if n...
