Blog No.8: Locations

By -

Ship Inn
This location is found near Manors metro station in Ouseburn. We thinking about shooting on the vandalised side of the inn since graffiti resembles the era the band lives in. This could be the setting of the performance or narrative if we decide the idea of the protagonist spotting the band at this location.


Morrisons car park
The Morrisons super market is where our music video will start. This is also where the protagonist will first see the band. We want to shoot in certain locations that are close to us. However, in case this doesn't go to plan, we'll use the one that has levels in Newcastle.

Bedroom
Although we haven't decided whose bedroom to shoot, this is either where the band is play or where the protagonist changes his appearance. Each stanza of the song is a gradual progression of the character slowly changing his appearance in order to look like the band.

Studio
Since the studio has all sorts of equipment we can use to shoot our video, this can be an ideal setting for the video's performance. Of course there are other locations that are creative and are set in the outdoors. In case we don't find an area that is less cliché, we're going to use the studio.

Back alley
There are a number of back alleys located near the front of Cullercoats. We haven't decided how this location can be used, but my guess is that the band will become so annoyed of this character they'll chase him for following them everywhere.

Blog No.99: Advert development 3

In this development, we've included a star rating and a few cover lines. The font of the text is seen in capital letters and in a medium sized font. Although they aren't seen in a bold font, both the size and the use of upper case words are easy enough for the audience to read. These cover lines are also seen black and yellow colours and are displayed in front of black and white highlights. These four colours are based on the colours used for the background. The yellow coloured text is easy to read since it's in front of both the black and white highlights.

Blog No.106: Digipak tray development

By -
Image
Instantly, the audience will recognise the silhouette from the music video. We decided to redevelop the image and add it to the digipack. This was mainly due to maintaining brand recognition, creating connections between our work (brand comfortability, and because the structure of the circle and silhouette is aesthetically pleasing.  The disk tray has been created to mimic look of a record, adding the vintage element of funk music. However, to make this appeal to a modern audience, we have used a purple, out of focus, photo behind as a representation for the bold and innovative present and the development / merging of the genre. Particularly as our band is of the indie-funk genre, a niche yet youthful market, we wanted to address the modern generation. Demonstrated by the vivid colours, experimental text and unique creativity

Blog No.69: Tonight in Ouseburn

By -

This morning we filmed the same scenes as last week's (filming me running whilst in the car) however, we've also booked a camera for tonight in town. The scene we're thinking about filming tonight is the scene where I step into my silhouette and leave conformity. It's also going to be filmed at night. All day the silhouette has been trying to get my attention and so it meets the character at night. I'll bring my work costume and bag with me and Charlie said she'll bring the equipment as well. Tommy has planned on driving me and Charlie to Ouseburn and use it for filming track shots. Grib can't make it tonight. Right now we've almost completed both the narrative and the performance. We're doing as much as we can finishing the narrative tonight and the performance on Wednesday. Charlie suggested that the performance area could involve a colourful tinsel-like background. Hopefully, we'll order some tonight.
