Creating A Snapchat Filter

We was doing research on how bands get their fans involved on media platforms for example we will be creating a twitter account, Instagram account and a soundcloud account for our band. From this we came up with the idea of creating a snapchat filter and i started some research before creating one.

Snapchat filters are extremely effective in letting people know where the band is performing and who is there. Snapchat users, who are growing by the minute, use these filters to let their friends know what they're doing and if there is a special occasion snapchat filters allow them to express that to their snapchat friends.

One Direction have their own filter when they're on tour so people use the filter and show their friends where they are without having to type a thing.

After looking at a few filters we created our own:

Our filter lets people know our band is on tour and where. This helps grow the band as when people check their friends snapchat story and listen to the music and like it, they question who they are and hopefully cause them to join their friends at the next CURE concert.

Test shots

We have done some practice shots that we want to include in our music video to give us an insight on how we would perform the shots and whether it would be how we want it. We tried this shot two different ways, firstly we kept the camera stationary and zoomed into the singers mouth. The other way we did it was to use the force of our hands to push the camera forward into the mouth. From this we learnt that we need to get the camera closer into the mouth for the shot to be effective. This also helped us practice lip synching and editing and we learnt that we cannot do the camera shot unless the singer is yawning which fine as he just got out of bed and it matches the setting.
