Reflection:
• What Are You Making?
I am creating a series of cinemagraphs to promote events around York. This will vary
from music events to any other events they may have however the main focus will be
music concerts / shows / festivals
• Why
i am doing this to try and bring a younger audience into the city and this is how I am
going to target this product and make the content appeal to my target audience
• Who Is It For?
These cinemagraphs are aimed at 18-25 year olds and I will be targeting males and
females. It will also mainly aimed at the working class and even the lowest level of
subsistence lowest level of subsistence
• Where Will It Appeal
This will appeal on social media sites such as Snapchat and instagram. I have chosen
these as these social media are mainly used by teenagers so this would work
effectively. I could also advertise the cinemagraphs on the side of a bus shelter

Style Sheet Fonts
From my style sheet I have looked at a various different font styles to use within my
work and i have chosen the best fonts that will be the most effective and will work the
best for my project.
Abadi MT Condensed Extra
Bold
Arial Black
Copperplate Gothic Bold
Adobe Caslon Pro Bold
These are the fonts that I will use for my cinemagraph because they are easy texts to read as
they are very simple. The texts are bold which means it can be read easily from a distance.
These texts are also eye catching so it will cause attention from the audience. These texts are
plain so it will fit in with my work and still look effective.
Color
I think this color palette would work well for my
cinemagraph because these colors are these colors are
simple so when I create my cinemagraph there wont be too
much information so the whole product will work effectively
so that I can advertise the events. These colors would also
work good with text on them because again they are simple
and white on black would make it very easy to read for the
audience especially from a distance
This color palette would work well because there is a
selection of bright colors. These colors would be good for my
audience because I am targeting a young target audience and
bright colors such as this will attract this audience so it will
work effective for my work. The colors also represent
different meaning such as the red color is energizing, and
suggests passion and I could use the color connotations
within my work.
App Logos
From looking at all these existing logo designs I have noticed that they are all fairly simple they
tend just to use shapes and letters. They all use bright colors to which works effectively
because they stand out and catch the audiences attention. I will include these elements with
my logo for my app. I will keep it simple, use bright colors as this is conventional and as well as
it would attract my target audience as I am targeting my product at a young audience and
using bright colors is one way to attract them
Posters
As I couldn’t find many music related cinemagraphs I thought I would look at posters as it
is very similar to the cinemagraph that I will create as I will have all the same information
that a poster would have however it will just be in a different format. From the current
posters that I have looked at they are all fairly simple. They don’t flood the page with too
much information. They use a simple dark color scheme and the images of the artist and
the crowd tend to be in black and white with the text in a white font. The text is white
and in a big bold font so that it can be seen easily by the consumer. I can add this to my
work by following the same conventions such as using a dark color scheme. Different font
sizes for buzzwords etc.
App Layout
EXPLORE CREATE WIN Banner at the top with the categories that the
app has
The explore page is where I will advertise my
cinemagraph. This page will show what events
are happening in York
The create page is where people can create
their own cinemagraphs by using this page on
the app
The page win is where people that are at the
concert can upload their own cinemagraphs
and win exclusive prizes.
Experiments
When I created my my experiment I started by opening up the timeline. This was so that I
could create the frame rate animation. Then I created the background which is a load of
concert pictures put together. I then added the text of the artist name and included some
buzzword such as “Exclusive” and I then set the time to 1 second as this allows the audience
to read all the information on the screen before the frame changes. To transition into the
next frame I added a glitch effect in. to do this I just added the picture of the glitch on top of
this layer. I then changed the duration to 0.1 second so that it would give it the effect that it
glitches out before it changes to the next frame of information. When I do my final product I
will include some elements where I use the glitch to change frames however I ill use
different ones and use multiple ones at the same time. I will also have the background
move about to make it more interesting
