On advertising

There is a notable problem in this module of our media studies course, in that we are required, in our music video, to create a product that is intended to advertise the song, album and artist involved. Therefore, we'll have to be considering this fact all through our task - that our music video is not just an artistic work, but should also be intended as the tool of a (hypothetical) corporate entity of the music industry. This is particularly true in the case of our other ancilliary task, other than the album art - an advert in a magazine, considering this is entirely a marketing product. I'm unsure exactly how we'll go about this, since we've only just started considering it, but I do think it's a better idea than to make a website, since neither of us have any idea how to go about designing that. At least with an in-magazine advert, you can be a little more creative in targeting the artsy, indie audience that would probably more appreciate the song in question.
