Evaluation Question 1

Poster Creation

Poster Creation

We made two poster's with the first one being created and then decide against as we felt it wasn't the best it could be.

We felt that the idea behind it was clever but when looking at the poster its hard to tell are idea and what we was aiming for. This poster did have a clearer connection to the music video as well but there was the problem of taking the pictures.

The pictures was too bury and become hard to take as it was had to get a good shot in such an uncountable angle. This lead us to decide on a different idea for a poster in the end which become are poster.

Are new idea was to do with the three band members and was much closer to the digi pack idea we had. We took the plan from are digi pack and evolved it into are poster design.

We liked this idea but again tried to make it more simple so it would fit better. In the end we decide on three solo pictures of the band members next to each other. we decide to get these pictures near Grimsby dock as there was a setting that fit the idea of grung the band was trying to show.

These photo's came out much better so instead of just using them for are digi pack we used them also on are poster creating a constant theme between the both. With these new photos we begin to shrink them and add them to are poster.

These solo close ups become important and with some of the effects we add when doing the Digi pack we could use on are poster as well making it easier on are self's.

 

We also add the extra information on the bottom of the poster like most posters. This include the name of the band and other information including links to Facebook and twitter.  This finished off the poster and was the final parts we added.

Editing The Main Task

The editing of are main task was then done on Adobe Premiere. This is because we felt it was the easiest and best editing software to use. We first of started by making a basic plan of the performances and narrative story in the editing software. This because of all are footage was too long so we had to edit it down. We then put down the music track and slowly started editing around the music. We got rid of scene's we felt was taking up time and made sure to cut between the performance and narrative parts of the music video on the beats. The hardest part was linking the music with the performances. we had to try and match the live performances with the track we had playing. In the end a lot of it is very close to the correct bit with it nearly impossible to see the differences. In some bit where we had trouble with we used clips of the band where you can't see perfectly what they doing hiding the fact they might be on the wrong part of the song because it looks like a constant performance.

Photoshoot Plan

We had two photoshoot plans because we had two different ideas.

The first photoshoot plan

It was a very basic and simple pictures we was after. In the end we couldn't use these as they came out too blurry and didn't really capture what we was aiming for so we set up another photoshoot.

The Second photoshoot plan

This second Photoshoot plan had a lot more shots giving us a range for both are poster and digi pack. Also by using the same photos for both are poster and digi pack it kept a theme through are whole video.

Audience Research

Audience Research

This image shows the number of subscribers each artist within the music industry has, 19/10/2015.

These figures will have an affect on our audience, as the majority of the top subscribers in the music industry are pop genre based. In the “Top 100” subscribed music channels, the only “alternative” music channel that is included in this is “Linkin Park” at number 38. This could directly affect our audience base as it shows that YouTube have quite a niché market when it comes to rock music.This could affect our audience as the statistics gives a clear indication that our genre of music will not be as popular as the pop-based artists. Statistics show here that the pop genre is approximately double more popular than rock music. For example, this website shows that Rihanna is the most subscribed youtube channel for music. Earning 6,740 more subscribers within the past 24 hours, whereas Linkin Park earning 3,141 subscribers in the past 24 hours; roughly half than what Rihanna has gained. This also is a positive as with rock not being as mainstream it will mean we can find a target audience's much easy with it being such a niché group of people. This will mean are audiences will be in small amounts but easy to measure and get audiences views.

It also shows that the majority of the channels in the Top 10 are Vevo channels. Vevo is a multinational video hosting service owned and operated by a joint venture of Universal Music Group (UMG),Google, Sony Music Entertainment (SME), and Abu Dhabi Media, and based in New York City. Launched on December 8, 2009, Vevo hosts videos syndicated across the web, with Google and Vevo sharing the advertising revenue. Vevo offers music videos from two of the "big three" major record labels, UMG and SME.

This shows the most viewed rock music videos on Youtube, which is mostly shown to be Linkin Park. 

Filming the Main Task

Filming of the music video.                                                                                                              

Here is evidence of all of us editing our music video together. And here is evidence of filming taking place.

Here is the filming of the performance part of the music video. With the camera borrowed from a friend we could get in close to the band performing as we focused on each on as they played the song. This meant the song had to be performance around 4 or 5 times as we had one for performance so we could focused on one member of a band and then do that for the other two members. We then did two group shots filming the whole of the band so we had a range of footage we could use in the editing.

Then there was the narrative part of the music video which we filmed at a friend of the groups house. This was a lot different from the performances recording as we was in a much tighter space but already had a storyboard set out so we knew what need filming. It did still take a long time down to human errors with people messing up or tripping into things. In the end we did get to many good shots and ment that a lot of them had to be edit out of the finished product.
