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.
