Analysing a promotional video - Ancestry

 



Conext

The purpose of this promotional video is to promote the service ancestry by also incorporating the Brexit movement within it. This marketing scheme is effective because it is modern and in tune to current social events. This allows this to be more memorable for an audience whilst bringing in more clicks so that they can learn about their heritage through ancestry. when making my promotional video i need to be aware of such things to allow the video to have a simillar effect

Sound

Soundtrack - within this promotional video they have created a song to allow the promotional video to be more memorable to an audience. the fact that it has different people in different scenarios gives the feel of unity throughout the video once again relating to the social event of Brexit.


Shots

This promotional video doesn't do anything out of the ordinary when it comes to shots as it is just a series of light zooms and regular cuts. this allows the video to get straight to the point when it comes to the promotional video. this can be the same as editing

Music Video Analysis - Kendrick Lamar - Alright

  Analysis of song  Analysis of video Kendrick Lamar depicts the tale of the harsh reality that bear upon black people within many parts of America. To themes of black struggle and love and to what feels like a never ending with the police, these are the many themes that is used within alright video.  Introduction Within the beginning of the video, Lamar uses the establishing shot of the Oakland-Bay bridge as a framework for the subsequent visuals and messages — entirely in monochrome to contrast “black” and “white” — and messages; he also uses the establishing shot as a microcosm for American society as we explore the meaning of what it is to be black in America — contextualized by Lamar's narrative — and how he copes with his racial identity.

Analysing Promotional Video - Meet iPhone 12  Context within apple commercials, the main focus within them are to promote and sell their products to the audience and do this by showing their products in various aspects of life. In this iPhone 12 advert this is exactly what has been done here. As you cans see within the advert, the phone is being used in different day-to-day scenarios that are relatable to an audience.

Such hyperbolic creative shots like this is what makes the advert memorable to an audience. This is something i want to incorporate into my work  as this is a very efficient way to market a product.  Sound Non-Diegetic:   An upbeat soundtrack can be heard to match the pacing of the video. This can also be in relation to the speed of the phone. a gust of wind can be heard when the pho...
