G324: Music Artist Poster

 

This is a music artists poster from a genre that our group are considering for our final music video, the genre of this specific music artist is dance/house, I like this music artist poster for the song "Around The World" because it fits in with the background of the music video for this song. All of the people on the bottom there are in the music video as well so in that respect they also relate to the genre/music video. In this sort of music genre you tend to see red/green/blue colours because they are associated with dance/house music. The image on the poster does fit in with the genre of the music artist, it shows what is going to be in the music video in a subtle way and the message it is trying to get across to the audience I think is "we're not conventional artists, we like to mix things up".

 

This music poster is a good poster but it doesn't really fit in with the typical conventions of music posters; the ways it doesn't are listed below:

• The artist isn't in there themselves, therefore the artist has gone with a cartoon poster to try and relate better to the song and perhaps the record label didn't want the artist on the poster, they wanted to do the poster in a unconventional way to most posters.

• With this poster because the artist isn't on there they don't look into the camera to grab the users attention, they try and do it in a different and kind of cool way by using cartoons and the same colour scheme to the background on the music poster.

A few problems with this poster are; that it doesn't say when the album/single is released, where it is available to buy and the record label isn't on there.

 

Typical Conventions of Music Posters:

• Typically the artist tries to promote themselves instead of the actual album or single.

• The artist normally looks into the camera to capture audiences attention.

• The image on the poster always represents the album/single itself, what the lyrics of the song mean and what the artist wishes to get across to the audience.

• The colour-scheme links in with the image as well as the album/single itself, in that one image it tells the audience what they are going to get from the album.

 

 

This is the music video for "Around The World", in the background you can see the same colour scheme board that is used on the music artists poster promoting this song, this is good because it follows the same theme as the video and is therefore easy to associate the music video to the music artists poster.
