Magazine Advert Analysis - Prefab ...

This album advert shows a clear visual representation between their actual album cover as it is the exact same design. In terms of what the functions of a magazine advert is, it follows all of them: the viewer can see the who the artist is, what the album is called, and when/where it is available. Mise-en-scene is not very strong, it does not show a clear connection with the video e.g. the location so in this case it doesn't follow the typical conventions of an ad.

What is good is that when the audience see this ad and then go to buy the cd or dvd, it will be easily recognisable as they are the same. However, it is hard to follow who the audience might be for this as, except for the bands fans.
