LO1. 1.4 - Repurposing


Repurposing

Repurposing is using something (e.g. a picture, a video, a song etc) and reusing it so that it is different from the original purpose - for example, using an image that is originally used for a visual campaign and repurposing it for a promotional piece for a video game. I have previously repurposed an image which I have taken for photography purposes and used it for an advertising campaign.

Below is an example of an image which I have repurposed. Originally it was an image which I had taken purely for photography purposes but I then realised that it would also work well as a promotional piece after I cropped it and edited it. 











File formats

https://fileinfo.com/filetypes/common - This website is a useful way to learn about all the different file formats. I have had to look at this website when I was creating pieces and deciding which file format fit best - for example, the above image is a .jpg file (originally it was a .psd file).

Advertising a product

Image
For my advertisement, I will be advertising clothes that already exist. I will be doing an audio-visual campaign and a print based advertisement. I will look into pre-existing campaigns and see how they advertise the products and to see what i could do to advertise products in a similar or better way.  This is a print-based advertisement series created by a brand called 'BONDS' for underwear and it is in a comedy style (with strap lines such as 'IT'S NO PARTY IN HIS PANTS.' and 'I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'LL LAST ANOTHER CURRY.' in a sans-serif font so it seems more friendly. This may attract people attention as comedy is a well known and loved genre and therefore people may be more interested into reading into what this advertisement entails.  MORE EXAMPLES https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DQsrXUWMzY This is an audio-visual campaign to advertise the clothing brand 'Champion'. It is a short video but it does a great job of showing

Unit 3 Work

(P1, P2, P3, P4, P5, M1) Here is my Campaign Proposal for the City of Culture for Liverpool: Unit 3 Proposal  - I have expanded on this based on feedback given to me via a 'SurveyMonkey' survey sent to a focus group.  Type of proposal - My proposal is for an audio-visual/ website advertisement for Liverpool focused mainly on fashion and the elements of it in Liverpool.  Form and Genre - My proposal will be an audio-visual advertisement that will include numerous codes and conventions including text to annotate the point that I'm trying to get across.  (M2, M3) My audio-visual campaign will include: Royalty-Free Music - This will help me to avoid any form of legal repercussions as it is free to use music and I cannot be sued for using it without permission. For example,  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzPBeLIZDxU  - this is royalty-free music and it can be used by anyone without having to pay for it.  Clips that I have filmed - This will also help me avoid any legal rep

Masthead FX

Image
I chose to edit the word 'masthead' like this because it stood out to me out of the multiple different ones I did before my final drafts. I personally think the colours used make the words pop and stand out e.g. the 'Pattern Overlay' makes the word stand out and look a lot more interesting. I think the 'gradient overlay' the 'colour overlay' and the 'stroke' ones worked best. I struggled with the 'satin' one as it was hard to make it apparent that it had been edited.
