More Additions To Our Website

To add to our website we added a box so that the audience can subscribe to our mailing list we did this so that our audience/fans can engage with our band and keep updated, adding more of a personal touch for our audience.

We used the contact tool on six to add a box to our website.
We changed the colours of the box to fit the theme of our website.

Adding Titles To Our Music Video

We went with the theme of opposing colours as we have an E in our titles which has been rotated through out.

We kept the rotated E the same the whole way through as a theme.

We added the titles but they looked odd. We then played around with final cut pro and added transitions such as a fade. This made the titles flow and work with out music video.

Video Shoot And Risk Assessment For Video Shoot 5

On Saturday 11th march we filmed another shoot for our music video with the whole band. In this shoot we decided to get our band to perform whilst we recorded them for the music video. The shoot was shot at Brentford tunnel and Homebase car park.

This the Homebase carpark near Osterley. We had to make sure we are not in peoples way as it is a car park and there was other cars there of other shoppers. We took pictures of the band on a car of our own so we can put that on our website. We had to be very careful and as respectful as possible to our surroundings when shooting to ensure everybody's safety. We was lucky as when we started to film the car scene the store was closed at 5pm so the car park was fairy empty which made our job easier. We had the guitarist on the roof of the car standing and we could not drive over 5mph so that he didnt fall off. We also faced a problem of the camera running out of battery so we had to film some of the shoo on our iphone.

We set up the band mid-way of the underpass to an angle so people can still walk by. We had a drum kit and we borrowed a Homebase trolley to help our set up. once we was set up we got the band to play whilst i took shots from different positions and angles. We successfully got amazing shots of the guitarist solo, the drummer solo and the main vocalist solo and with the band as a whole. We also got a shot of the vocalist coming down a ramp on the trolley we borrowed from homebase.

Adding Titles To Our Music Video

We thought because the E is the opposite was around we should use opposite colors to make it look cool and quirky.

The E being backwards was recurring as it was effective even in the titles.

After adding the titles we felt as if it didn't flow together nicely so we decided to add in effects. The dissolve effect made it flow so we was happy with that.

Video Shoot 6

At first we was planning to wrap mohammed (Tanner moore) in foil so that he looks like a spaceman for one of the shots, however, we had difficulties keeping the foil on as he moved around so i had an idea of using the cheatsheet which one of my teachers showed me in year 11. 

We got a heatsheet from the medical kit in the gym as marathon runners wear it along with astronauts so it was pretty much perfect.

We thought Haggard road was a good location with the white garages as it looked quite quirky. 

Addition To Website

We added this music bar at the top right corner of our website and made it so the colours match out website. This also plays music whilst someone is on the website.

We added our bands song to the website to play in the background. We used the Wix help button on the website so i could see how to make out music play automatically without the person having to press the button. We also made it so it is in a loop so when the song finishes it plays again automatically.

Light boxes:

We added light boxes to make our website more interactive as these pop ups come up as soon as somebody comes onto the website. We did this by setting the delay time to 0 seconds. We added a pop on the homepage saying "BUY YOUR TICKETS FOR THE REVOLUTION TOUR NOW!". In addition we have a lightbox at the bottom of the music, gallery and merchandise page promoting the new album.

We found these light boxes effective as they alert the audiences of the latest with the band and makes the website look professional.

Plan For Shoot 6

or shoot 6 we plan to go to the garages on Haggard Road and film a shoot of the main band member sitting on a wheeled chair wrapped in foil with a helmet wrapped in foil on. We plan to take shots of him wheeling around on a chair wrapped in foil acting as an astronaut.

We need for this rolls of foil, a scooter helmet, a wheeled chair. We want him to wear grey tracksuit bottoms and grey jumper.

Plan For Shoot 5

On shoot 5 we want to go to Brentford tunnel to film our performance aspect of the music video. We will need to get a drum and an electric guitar for our music video. We also hope to plan a part where the band is playing on top of the car, we are thinking of going to a non busy car park to do this for health and safety.

We want all of them to wear a shirt with a plain t-shirt underneath and black jeans. We want to find good and a variety of a different shots. 

White Mug Merchandise

Time Out Magazine Chiwatel Ejiofor

This is the magazine that we was inspired from and decided to make our magazine cover like this one.

Playground Research

We researched a lot of playgrounds to see which playground is the ideal one for our music video.

Leverson Enquiry

1) when did the enquiry take place and how long did it last?
The enquiry started in july 2011 when Lord justicee leveson was appointed to a public inquiry into the culture, practises and ethics of british press. The enquiry went on through out 2011 and 2012 and the leveson report was released in november 2012 by judge levers discussing the culture, practises and ethics of british press.

2) when was the report released?
November 2012

3) key recommendations of the leveson report:

• New watchdog independent of MP's and newspaper, with statutory underpainting.
• New independent regulator with no influence from the government and industry. with statutory power
• The possibility of a first amendment style law

Making Our Merchandise

 We created a T-shirt as one of our merchandise that can be sold on our website. I created this T-shirt online however we realised that most bands do not have a model wearing theT shirt so we are going to make our own with nobody wearing the T shirt. It is a simple T-shirt for the fans to buy with our bands logo on it called 'CURE'.

establishing shot

We went to urban villas to record the city of london from up high as we will speed the footage up and use it in our video

Tor Miller - Always

During our research process we found this music video of Tor Miller

Album cover research

Ideas what to include in our music video

These are some of the ideas we brainstormed that could be included in our music video

As a group we decided because the song is called 'Stressed out' we would have our artist being hindered throughout the day as more and more stressful things happen to him related to the song lyrics. We also came up with a few editing, and cross cutting techniques that will show the stress building up. We have two ideas on how we could show this one of those ideas is that we could have a time lapse increasing in speed through out the music video and the other having a close up of a taxi meter continuously increasing, both being there to represent how our artist day is just becoming more and more stressful. 

Audience research

For the audience research we aimed at young adults from 18 years old up to 40 year olds as our artists  just left university and would attract a similar age fan base. However even 40 year olds knew what to look out for in our music video for example; ripped baggy jeans, baggy hoodies.

Digi pak draft

The Riot album cover is what inspired us when we were researching album covers, we really liked the idea of how they're surrounded by words however we expanded on the idea and made our own for our own band.

This is what i came up with for our first handwritten draft of our digipak front cover. The title and the writing around the characters is hand written as i felt like i could use my skills to achieve the messy font. I also drew two lines under the band name as i felt it looked effective. We have also done another version where we have done the writing on photoshop. We decided that we wanted to have our band name (CURE) as the main title and mohammed and I decided we should turn the E the opposite way as we can create the band a symbol that symbolises them.

Mohammed came up with the first photoshopped front cover where all the writing is edited on and he decided that the cover could look more effective in black and white characters and the background in colour. We
