Blog No.67: Park scene (footage)

By -
We used the location of a park to emphasise the fun the character has missed out on, never experiencing a time to 'let go'. The park is to emphasise the fun and upbeat nature of the song also. It is a lighthearted approach to connect to the audience on their childhood happiness, to highlight how this character is now feeling.  This will be where the character embraces the silhouette and plays in the park. But not only that, we used Tommy's car for filming- to mimic the use of a crane / tracking shot. The plan was that I would run down a street and Charlie would film me whilst in the moving car. However, there was another scene we didn't have time to film. It was supposed to be a dark alley near Whitley Bay. However, we have footage in Newcastle of a cobbled alley which we could use instead.

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

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.
