Responses from final video

hey guys, so I handed out a feedback sheet to 15 people to get an idea on how people thought about our video....

Overall, the responses were really positive. Everybody either gave us a 4 or 5 which is what we wanted to see!! We received a lot of positive comments on the cloning and that it was seamless, which is brilliant when trying to create a realistic music video!

Reviews from first draft

Hey guys, as I mentioned previously, we wanted to gather some feedback on our first draft of our music video. I decided to put all the feedback into a chart so it's easier for you to understand what others thought about it. Overall, everyone who watched our video enjoyed it, and we received some great feedback. However, the majority said that we needed to change the lip syncing scenes as they seemed to drag on. Me and Connor have decided to alter this, I'll keep you updated...

First draft

Hey guys, so we're really excited to show you our first draft of our music video. We have asked for criticism and feedback from a range of people which I will share on my blog soon- so be sure to keep updated.

Personally, I feel very happy with this as we achieved the vintage, fun look we were aiming for, here is our first draft....

Stream age kicks

Hey guys, so I recently read an article called Stream Age Kicks, which was about the role of music videos and albums, I found it really interesting in relation to my music video as I've learnt that essentially, no-one knows how to actually make money through music and it's all about advertising products through music. I've decided to create the slide show below and sum up the article for you all....

Target audience review- video half finished

Hey guys, so as you know we've started editing for our music video, however, we haven't finished just yet. We wanted a little bit of feedback on the work we've done so far, just to know that our target audience enjoys it- here's what two of the people we asked thought of it...

Vinyl research

Hey guys, so I did a little more research on the use of vinyl and also included some information about Hepworth's theory- be sure to click the link and check it out...

Our vinyl draft

Hi everyone, so Me and Connor decided to create a vinyl draft, to scale (12 inches), in order to give us a rough idea of how it would look, and design ideas, here is our draft with explanations...

Vinyl usage research

Hi guys, I thought I’d carry out research on vinyl usage and how people in the 21st century have started to use vinyl's again. This research supports Mine and Connors decision to create a vinyl.



I gathered my research from http://techgeek.com.au/2013/08/15/why-is-vinyl-becoming-popular/

Vinyl designs research

Hi guys, so Me and Connor have been thinking that although we want to create a vinyl, we need to focus on the design, however, the designs are endless. We recently just researched a few design ideas that we may want to create...

Our two favourites were the simple sleeve pocket and a album that opened up.

1) Me and Connor really liked the simplicity of the sleeve pocket idea. We would still use our initial cut out idea we had, where the foreigner icons on our album cover would be cut out and buyers would be able to see the record. We then thought about adding a information booklet at the back of the record, which would include information on the songs, and other information on the band.

 2) Additionally, Me and Connor like The Beatles album and how it opened up and presented two pockets, both with information packages and vinyl's. We really liked this idea as it was different to any other album we had seen. We also liked the extra details such as the images. However, we feel that this idea would be difficult to achieve, as our band is just starting out, and so hasn't got much of a history to present on the album.

Me and Connor have decided to go with option 1, as it will be much easier to achieve due to our band just starting up. Option 2 requires a band history, which we simply don't have.
Additionally, Me and Connor found a website that enables users to download templates, this helps us a lot when trying to size our album, as it gives us the correct measurements. 

(here is the site which we used; http://www.cravedog.com/pages/templates.php)

Location change

Hey guys, so we have received an email back from Chesterfield bowl and they said we could film there....

I thought I'd put together a small slideshow of Chesterfield bowl so you could have an idea as to what was there- there is a small arcade within Chesterfield bowl so we can still add aspects of an arcade within the  music video.

Vinyl analysis

Hi guys, so I've recently had a look at a few vinyl albums in order to gather some inspiration for mine and Connors vinyl. My favourite out of the 4 I looked at was The Beatles album so I decided to complete an analysis on this, here it is...

Filming process- 3

Hey guys, so a few days ago we filmed the Matlock bath scenes. We did gather clips outdoors, however, when we came to film inside the arcade, we didn't get permission to film. Here is a clip of our process

Instead, we have come up with the idea of filming inside a bowling ally which I have emailed before hand seeking permission.

We have also come up with the idea of filming at either Mine or Connors house of the cast playing board games; we'll let you know how it goes :)

Vinyl idea

Hi everyone, so Me and Connor thought about doing something for our album that's out of the box.
We felt that we wanted to be original for our album so wanted to attempt doing a vinyl album instead of a CD.

This is one of The Last Shadow Puppets vinyl's. TLSP have had a great impact on our research for our music video as well as Two Door Cinema Club. So make sure to keep checking out my blog for more information on these vinyl's.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LP_record; an LP record is usually 12 or 10 inch (30 or 25 cm) diameter. This size gives us an outline of how big our front cover will have to be. I feel that Me and Connor should continue using our album cover design but make it much bigger for the purpose of the vinyl idea we've come up with.

Mis-en-scene: Costume

Hey guys, so I decided to put together this poster in order to give you an idea of the costume the main character will be wearing, and give you an idea of what the other characters will be wearing. We wanted to keep a consistent vintage theme like I previously mentioned in the mood board.

Display design for social media- improved

Hi everyone, so when I made the Facebook page for our band, I tried to add our display picture that we originally made, however, the design we made didn't fit properly in the display box, we felt that compared to other band social media pages, ours didn't seem very professional. However, once we finally finished our front cover for our album, we felt this would look great for the display picture as it not only tells viewers who we are but advertises our album.

Mood Board

Hi everyone, I've created a mood board just so you guys can get a feel for the kind of look we're going for.

We want to create a retro look for our music video. We aim to do this through using vintage filters, by overlaying the clips with blue, pink and green undertones. Additionally, we want to show this through the use of polaroid style pictures, by making the frames of our music video look like a polaroid picture has 'come to life', we aim to show this retro look through our costumes, by wearing denim jackets.

Why we chose anarchy

Me again! I felt that I needed to complete a post on why we decided to call the album anarchy, as it's a random word to choose, it's simple, but I feel the word itself is effective. Here's why Me and Connor chose to call our album anarchy...

I used video scribe to make this video.

Album analysis

Hi guys, so I've completed an album analysis on The Vaccines- What did you expect from The Vaccines, I didn't do this analysis on the front cover or back, I decided to do it on the booklet you receive when you purchase an album. Enjoy...

Filming Schedule

Hey guys, so we've designed a filming schedule of the days where everyone who is part of our music video is free, luckily, Nick and Will (who will be in the music video) are very flexible so fits in well with everyone's availability.

Facebook page

Hiya, so Me and Connor have designed our Facebook page for our band, we used our album cover as the profile picture. I'm not exactly happy with the cover picture, however, once we start filming at our locations, we will have more options for the cover picture, I'll link our Facebook page down below...
