POMO Mix Tape

The film director Allison Anders (Gas, Food Lodging, Mi Vida Loca, Grace Of My Heart) teaches a Rock n' Roll Film soundtrack class at UCSB (University of California, Santa Barbara). The student's final project is to create a soundtrack of his or her life on a mix tape or cd.

Your task is create a mix tape that is the heavily themed. You will be recontextualising the songs, both by placing them together and theming them under the title of your mix. You will be giving them a new or different meaning when you do this.

• Decide on a theme and a suitable title.
• Use music you 'own' (not a Soundcloud or Spotify playlist)
• Embrace variety.
• Make it flow as a listening experience.
• Justify each track you choose OR justify as a complete compilation.
• Be creative (this will link to the exam).
• Upload to mega.co.nz (or equivalent) in MP3format only (no AAC or other file types) OR burn to CD/put it on a USB and i'll upload for you.
• Make a cover image for your mix. This is an integral part of the presentation, so put some thought into it, make it the right size (12cm x 12cm) and make it look good.
• Post the cover and tracklist and notes on your blogs.

DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY 9TH APRIL

EXAMPLE OF SAMPLE:

POSTMODERN ADVERTS

This Mars advert from 2012 can be seen as a postmodern advert. The advert simply doesn't show the reality of eating a MARS bar. This is because the advert is basically explaining to the audience that if you eat a MARS bar you will be full of confidence and can achieve anything in life. This is shown through the 'steward' watching a huge penalty shootout involving England who need a goalkeeper to finish the game, after eating the MARS bar the steward is full of confidence and decides to go in goal and win the team the game. There is evident emphasis on the confidence aspect of the advert because for the last penalty the keeper does a save known as a scorpion kick where he saves it with his feet by kicking them out over his head. Clearly in reality this save is even extremely difficult for a professional goalkeeper to pull of, emphasising that you can do anything if you eat a MARS bar. However in reality the chocolate will not have this affect at all, it really won't make a different to what chocolate bar you purchase, chocolate most likely won't have an effect on your personal traits, such as confidence. The advert also involves a lot of England stars, for example Scott Parker and Glenn Johnson, there involvement is important because their happy reaction to the steward saving the goal can suggest that eating Mars will also make you loved and famous. The advert stills runs now into 2014 because it has been a huge success.









KITKAT have also released a new advert in 2014 to advertise their chocolate bar. The advert is actually really interesting because it is completely unexpected for a chocolate bar advert, however it fits the theme and message they are trying to portray extremely well. It can be seen as postmodern because it uses elements of homage when filming the car chase. It is well filmed and looks professional like car chases in films etc. This keeps the audiences attention well, the humorous side is also good to watch and persuasive and POMO. Having police stop with bank robbers to 'take a break' and eat a KITKAT (kitkats motto) is something which would never, ever happen in real life, so similar to the MARS advert is it taking what is real out of the situation.
