Fat Freddy's Drop

Music

This week in music, we arranged a meeting with the manager at Dress-Smart, so we could meet up for her and get permission to film there for our advertisement that we will be submitting to the Fair Go Ad Awards. We were given permission to film there next Wednesday for about 20 minutes. Here are some photos from our meeting:  

Fair Go Ad Awards

Fair Go Ad Awards

This term for music, our class is making a thirty second advertisement promoting places around Hornby, and Hornby itself. We will be submitting this advertisement to the Fair Go Ad Awards. Our advertisement has to be submitted by the 5th of September. My job along with a few others, is to write a letter to the managers at Dress-Smart, and ask permission to film at their mall, as the class decided the Dress-Smart is a unique feature of Hornby, considering it's the only mall of it's kind in Christchurch and the rest of the Canterbury region. My job for the future is to help film the advertisement. I will ensure that we are successful by making sure we work together as a team to get everything done with in the time we're given.

Here is a clip from the 2013 fair go ad awards:

What am I learning?

I am learning about advertisements. How to make them, the jobs needed to be done to make a quality advertisement, how to hook the people who are watching your advertisement in using music and how to make a catchy jingle for an advertisement.

How does this work show my learning?

The advertisement we are making as a class shows the skills and tricks we have all learnt for making a good advertisement along with a good jingle/song. 

What am I wondering?

I'm wondering how long the Fair Go Ad Awards has been around for, and who came up with the idea for an advertisement competition.

What am I learning?
I am learning tips and tricks for how to write/create a jingle for an advertisement.

How does this work show my learning?
It shows the ways to make a catchy jingle that I found through websites, and also listening to music form classic kiwi adverts. It also shows video's that I rated using the checklist I created.

What am I wondering?
I'm wondering if other countries use different possibly more effective ways to advertise products other than music.
