Final music Video

This is the finished product of my muisic vidoe. we had some problems when uploading our music video onto youtube. unfortunatly for us this problem could only be resolved by reducing the quality of our video. therfore the quality of our music video is really bad.

Stages of making Webpage

Home page

Home page

Analysis of my webpage


Navigation –The website is really aesy to navigate around as the buttons are ta the to therefore is is easily accessible to the audience.

Primary Target Audience - psychographic target audience segmentation identifies our primary target audience as reformers the website is very simple and isn't glorified by fashion which highlights the fact about the audience being simplistic and also unfazed by status. 

Landing Pages - the landing pages of all the links have the same mode address as the front page.

Splash Page – I didn’t include a splash page this allows the audience to focus more on the artist.


Banner- as we are an independent artist there is no banner at the top of our page and this also maintains the focus of the audience on the band members.


Sky Scraper- we didn’t include any adverts here either this centralizes the music of the artist. 


Body Copy – adapting a simplistic synergy the writing is also very simple and pain. This is attractive to our audience because nothing is really over exaggerated but plain and simple it makes them seem more professional. The webpage is also dominated with information about the band and not much about the artist, which focuses the idea that the music is the product that we would like to sell.

The Hero Shot- the hero shot of the band is simply the logo, which is their name and also the cover of the album cover. 


Jump Pages- there are no jump pages on the sites which aim to advertise any other company which further reinforce the ideas of the independence of the band. 


Button- the button on the pages are very easy to find sitting at the top and very self explanatory therefore its really easy for the audience to navigate around the website. 

Prominence- generally prominence isn't used however the use of the title and the image in the middle allows prominence because it draws the audience attention to the name of the band and the album cover. 


Use Of Fonts- the website uses very similar conventions of text plain simple times new roman which is recognizable by everyone. 


Genre And Web Page- the use of iconography allows the audience to easily identify the genre of the band as being indie alternative. 


Use Of Color- the colors are very synergistic and enforce the genre of the bands. I maintained the color across all platforms of our product.


White Space- the website as a lot of white space which makes the website easy to navigate and also less clustered. 


Mode Of Address- the media text is very simple which speaks a simplistic message to its audience. 


Final DigiPak

This is my finished product of my Digpak.

The front cover of my music video is the album cover. It includes the logo which is important in representing the artists and it also includes the album name which is significant in introducing the audience to the band music. I choose to use the picture as a lift because it represents the ideology of the main music video “space elevator” so therefore it creates synergy. I have also made the color be blue as well to continue synergy.

The cover inside the cover inside is the band members lounging there is no direct eye contact with the camera which build up the idea that it’s not about the artist but about the music that the artists play.

Back cover the back cover is of the bands instrument. It represents the artist music element and also reinforces the idea that it’s all about the music. The back cover also has a list of the artist music name which informs the audience of all the songs in the album.  

Back inside the picture on this template is of the band members in a live performance, I maintained using the color scheme of blue and grey to make the digipak synergistic.

Left cover the left covers of the digipak is live the other pictures aswell there are no direct eye contact enforcing the idea that it’s all about the music and then I also maintained the dreamy effect throughout all the pictures to make it synergistic.

Day 3 Filming

Day 3 filming

Today we filmed the chess board sequence. A narrative for guitar in our music video

What we need.

Location – drama studio

Props – guitar, chess board made with black and white paper

Costume – each member had to be in black and white

Handy cam and tripod

Black clothe

Preparing and getting the location to film was much easier than we tried to get location for filming. Also the preparation for this opposed to our earlier thinking was easy. In this narrative we wanted to make a real life sized chess board where the guitar member and the rest of the members could have some sort of guitar showdown.  Making the chess board was easy as kaliegh brought a black cloth which we laid on the floor and then used a4 pieces of paper to make the creation complete and making the scene as though it an actual chess board and the members are the players.

Overall the filming of this sequence went well. We were able to maintain strong synergy with the use of costume and props. While shooting this narrative we used the handy cam. This allowed getting lots of free hand shots and also free movements we also got a wide range of shots and angles. We also had a tripod with us which was very helpful in getting really high birds high view shots

Problems we faced?

The only problem we encountered was actually discovered after we had finished filming and uploaded our footages. In some of our shot the tripod was in the background. However since it wasn’t highly noticeable we concluded that we can get around it

Cancelled plans for filming 16th december

Cancelled filming plan

We had intentions of filming our bass guitar narrative shots in the historical valentine’s mansion. However we aren’t able to do so because of some unfortunate circumstances. Getting in touch with Redbridge council we asked permission to film on site because as it is a public site we would need to get permission. Firstly a representative of red bridge got back in touch with us asking us to fill out a form, this seemed easy enough however we were asked to give a copy of our liability insurance. Being unsure about what exactly the insurance was we asked Mr Lawes and he called up Redbridge explaining that we are an A2 student. He was told that every school should have a liability insurance and we would be able to get the insurance copy from the school. we went to the front office and they provided us with an employers liability insurance. We sent this off in hopes that it was the right document however we got a reply that it isn’t and wer asked to produce the document in other to film. With time running out we were eager to get the document in time, unfortunately for us we weren’t able to provide the document in time meaning we cant film at our requested time.

Therefore we had to find an alternative shooting location. Initially we were thinking of the museum in barking so we tried to plan our shooting in that location however once again we were unable to because it was go through reconstruction. 

Day 2 Filming

Today we filmed the Performance elements for our music video

What we needed?

Drum kit

Location (hall)

Guitar

Hd camera

Handy cam

Getting the performance shot was one of the hardest task we faced in this project so far. We expected to use the drama studio originally as we felt that we could use a lot of the lightning in the room to maintain a synergistic indie music video approach (indie music video generally make use of a lot of spotlights). However unfortunately for us we were unable to accomplish this because we had to wait two hours for the drum kit to arrive as we weret allowed to use the drum kit in which we expected to burrow from the music department. Waiting 2 hours unfortunately meant that the drama studio could no longer be available to us. Fortunately we were able to use the boothroyd hall which worked perfectly in giving the impression of a small concert stage. Luckily for us we were able to make use of spotlights and even show our patriotic synergy!

Altogether I think that the performance recording went extremely well even though all the difficulties we faced. We were able to get some amazing shot amounting to 40 minutes in total. We’ve got a wide range of angles which will make our performance aspect versatile.

Also we used the Hd camera while working on the performance. Ultimately it was very interesting using the hd camera because we got to try new and interesting things such as:

Smooth camera movements

Defocusing and focusing

Better footages

 

Also we used the hd cameras for more free movements like following each members and also for more interesting shots.

 

 

Day 1 - Filming

Today was the firts day of filming for our music video overall it went very well and we were able to get all the footage we neeed and sucessfully uploaded on the comuter.

Aim: Our aim today was to get the first line of narrative recorded. This is the narrative of the band member in a prop closet. The sequence of the Narrative was the lead singer walking in to find his band memeber in the prop room dreseed as a pirate and with a mop.

Aichievemnts: I think we achieved our aims today and everything went sucessfully. we had all the props we needed and filming went very smothly we made use of the Tripod and also tried to improve the lightning in the room. The custome of the artist is a pirate custome i think we generated this quite well as tis was one of our aims it was to portary that each band members as thier individual personaliity. Today was also sucessful as we handled al the equipments we used


with great care. Also think time wise everyone was on time and we worked well in the amount of time we had.

Difficulties faced: We did face a few difficulties however this was solved as best as it could have been. One of the problems was that in our locaton we had quite a few mirrors so therfore while filming we were abit restricted however
 we came up with a quite solutio by putting clothes on some of the mirrors.This was a good way of handiling the situation as it also added to our ideology and location theme.

Props/equipments used: Diffent props from the prop room, a mop, drums, hady cam and tripod
