Shows how our video is similar to other..

1. How is your media project similar
to other media texts?

2. CD Cover - Front
The CD cover that we have created is very similar
to other covers that are created within the
industry. We began putting a close up of the
artists faces on the front of the cover. This
allows people to people able to see that he is the
main star and matches other artists designs. This
was done to portray the gangster image of D-Rail.
When you look at Coolios and Eminems
front cover you can see that he has
the name of the song on the front just
like we have the albums name on the
front of ours.
Coolios also has his face on the cover
of his gangster paradise and you can
also see that Eminem also has an image
of him on his cover.

3. CD Cover - Back
You can see further similarities with our back
cover and other covers. We put the barcode
and the copyright text on the back. This was
done so that the information was out of the
way and wasn't taking up too much of the space
that was needed. we also put the studios logo
on the lower right of the back cover. Since this
was a album cover we don't want to put too
much on the back page, so we just put a small
quote that was once said by
D-Rail himself. As you can see on
Coolio’s back cover he has a black
image of himself and street lights
behind him. along with this he also
has his production companys logo
on the side.

4. Video
Within our video we tried to incorporate different
similarities that you can see from one music
video to another. From the screenshot to the left
you can see a form of ritual dancing which we
had done near the end of our video.
This allows our video to look industrial standard
and have all the aspects that are needed to
make a professional music video.
There were also other elements in the music
video that can be seen in other videos like the
greenscreen and the tpes of shots/angles of
shots that were taken.

5. Website
For the website we made sure that alll the key
elements were put into the website so that it
match any other website that you may have
seen. This helped the website look very
professional and have all the motifs of any other
artist website.
The first thing that stands out is the About page
on D-Rail. this is seen half way into the website
and allows the person to read more about this
artist.
This can also be found in coolios website where
he also talks about himself and his story.
Furthermore additionally to the abouts page
there is also a link to social media for the artist.

6. Website
Another element that can be found is the tour dates and
events that the audience can come and attend. For our
website we created three different events for our fans to
attend and there is also a subscription box where you
are able to get updated on new events.
This can be seen in other artists like katy Perrys website
and coolios website.
Along with this there are other similarities like gallery
and music video on the page.
