advert evaluation

My advert was inspired by people who created homemade adverts on youtube, i mean like on the adverts that are on youtube there are scenes with different parts of london on there like in one scene there would be Big Ben then on the next scene there would be Buckingham Palace. So that is what helped me to develop my ideas and these adverts on youtube also inspired me to create an East London advert.

In total there were seven places that I went to, the seven places that I went to included places like Stratford, Ilford, Isle of Dogs (Crosshabour), Cutty sark (Greenwich), London buddhist centre, York hall and the childhood museum. I choose these locations mainly because they are easy for me to get to and they are my favourite places to go to and I used to go to these places when I was a child.

My contribution to this video production was an all in one, my roles included director, planner and location cordinator, basicaly i was busy to myself if that makes any sense.

The sound that i used were more songs, the songs that I have experimented my advert with are Farewell Ballad by Zakk Wylde, some Van Halen songs, some Yngwie Malmsteen, Satch Boogie by Joe Satriani and some Pantera/ Dimebag Darrell.

The gear that i used to create my advert with is very simple I used a:
. Standard video camera
. Tripod
. Camcoder

My strengths and weakness for my advert was hard to split into groups because I did have a lot of problems but it was just remembering them but in the end i just came up with this list
. Strengths: Use of transport
. Weakness: could not use cameras, the way the weather was and the amount of time i had at the location i was at. The alternate approaches i had to this is not to spend too much time at the locations/ spots i was at, try and more than one place done and try to get out early.

Whilst editing my advert i only used transitions and i think i inserted pictures in to it for the sake of putting pictures into my advert.

My advert would be shown mostly during daytime because that way i would have a wider audience and this way it would promote East London. I believe there is nothing in my advert that would cause controversy or harm and therefore would be passed by the ASA.

I guess the advert thati have created would be shown on any channel mainly because it has nothing that could be harmful to any actors (even tho there is no actors in my advert, just a voice over), there is no offensive language, anything sexist and there is definetly no racist language in my advert.
