Blog No.52: Plans for shoot

By -
Before I inform you about our plans this afternoon after school, there has been a character change. Due Tommy's lack of availability and Grib's role as the singer, Charlie gave me the role as the main character in the narrative. Although Grib was unavailable yesterday, he is still playing the role as the singer. I'm not sure how Charlie could be involved in the narrative if we're planning on targeting a gender-shared audience. She could play the manager who fires me or a member of a band - if we are involving a band.

Clothing
  • Blazer, shirt, trousers and tie.
  • Slick hair.
Props
  • School bag / brief case.
  • Mobile phone.
Narrative
  • Begins with Christopher waking up and the silhouette 'stepping into' its body.
  • Powering him up - expressionless look (almost robotic) reflecting capitalist lifestyle.
  • Christopher misses bus and walks through Ouseburn.
  • A place where Christopher is able to experience the side of life he has never experienced: art, society, etc.
  • Begins to scare him, looking anxious and walks fast.
  • Receives a text from his boss telling him that he's late for work and he's possibly fired, building up the "pressure".
  • Becomes frustrated and has strong catharsis about the process of life and work.
  • Looks back and steps into the silhouette, leaving the past behind.
  • Silhouette follows him around whilst Christopher discovers this new side of life.
  • This includes dancing, freedom and enjoyment of which he was unable to have because of his demanding city job.

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 -

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.
