Blog No.91: Song titles

By -
1. Apply Some Pressure
This is the song we are doing for our music video, however, it can mean many things. The word "pressure" links to the idea of how the main character is living a harsh life in conformity. Work and time is building up the pressure of the main character losing control of himself. I thought we could have this song as the first in our list since we've used this song for our music video.

2. Simul
The word "Simul" is Latin for "together". We would've named this song "Together" but it would make the song name sound vague. I'm also pretty sure that there's another song called "together". Although the word is a Latin translation, the products (video, digipak and advert) appeal to all audiences. In other words, we aren't aiming for a specific audience, for example, those who speak Latin.

3. Youth
Youth is a noun that has representations of childhood and joy. This song title could link with our message about leaving conformity (and being yourself) as it also connotes freedom.

4. Challenge the City
Although it's the name of the song, it can also be used as a song. It almost sounds like a message for the audience, for them to "challenge the city". If the audience are familiar with our overall message, this song title can be used as a meaning to face your fears of being dependent and be yourself.

5. Foe
This noun symbolises danger, lies and villainy. However, this song title raises questions as to who the foe is or why are they seen as one.

6. Korrupt
The adjective corrupt represents unacceptability and suspicion. But since we've replaced the letter 'c' with a 'k' (misspelling the word) does that make this song title corrupt?

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.
