MAROON 5 - MAPS
Mise En Scene
The props used within the image are the pieces of paper with the names of their
songs written on them. the pieces of paper are actually cut out of maps, emphasizing and promoting their album even more. The lighting is quite dull but is highlighted through the pure white and the pure white paper in the image, with the most important information, band name and album name.
Camerawork
The nature of the magazine advert is actually quite unusual as it does not feature any of the band members, this just shows that they care more about their music that they produce rather than their celebrity image. The close
up photograph of the pieces of paper is used to show us what they say on them and again promote the bands music.
Typography
Although there are many fonts in the advert they are all actually sans serif but range
from handwriting to computerised font. Despite being handwritten the font is still quite simple yet neat. This connotes professionalism of the band and how they present themself to their target audience.
Layout
The bands name is the first thing your eye goes to when looking at this advert, this is the most important piece of information. the next thing you see is the image of the pieces of paper with their song names and album name. The ratings are used
below the image as they shouldn't take away from the image and the band name.
