Group Meeting 4

Group Meeting Four

Our fourth group meeting took place on the 16th November. During this meeting we discussed plans for additional filming of scenes and the editing already completed. We decided that some scenes needed re-filming and we would complete this on the week beginning the 19th Novemeber.
We arranged an additional actor for further filming for our scenes in a doctor's office, which would be filmed on this date.
We discussed ideas for our Digipak such as costumes, make-up and locations and planned when we would conduct our photoshoot.

Rough Cut Two

Rough Cut Two

This is our second rough cut, which is one minute and thirty seconds long. Our video is still in the process of being edited, but we have made quite a lot of process since our first rough cut, and are working hard towards our deadline. The video runs smoothly and  has no gaps, due to the extra footage that we have filmed, and the better quality of some of the parts that we have re-filmed.

Rough Cut 1

Rough Cut 1

This is our first rough cut for 'Growing On Me' by The Darkness it lasts for 35 seconds and contains multipul shots and lyric shots. We still need to edit more footage and we hope to have a second rough cut before we fully finish the music video by Christmas.

We still need to film some additional footage as some of it lacks quality and we hope to have enough footage to extend the video to 4.30/5 minutes. Editing wise we need to make it run a lot smoother and make sure all the lyrics match the song beat.We will also include some affects into a later cut so that the video is more appropriate for the genre and looks more polished off.

By adding more rough cuts later on we hope to see an incline in the quality pf the videos these are another way to monitor what we have accomplished in the coming weeks.

Group Photo Analysis

Group Photo Analysis

        B                                    

A








Above are two of the photo's taken during the group photo shoot, we took a total of twenty images and for various reasons we chose these two as the best ones.

We chose A as it contains all three band members in similar poses and shows a unity among them. the good thing about A is that it relates to the genre in that the majority of the band members have long hair a typical 'rocker' look. By having the instruments in view of the camera is also common in photo's of glam rock bands. By having just the one guitar in full view of the camera we link it to a photo of The Darkness. We placed Will in the middle as he is the shortest and if we placed him on the outside it would throw the image of balance, by having those of similar taller height on the outside it centers the focus.

We chose image B as it was not as serious or posed it was more fun and relaxing, it showed the band members having a 'fight' which is common among rock groups and we played n this to create an image for an advert. The downside of this is that they are posed to far away from the camera. If the image was more of a close up it would have been the better image as it seems to be something you would see on an advert.

A                                                                                 



Above is two pictures of Nazza while B is more of the full body shot that we were looking for it lacks the quality that A possesses it also fits the genre of glam rock its fun and a bit different and a nice shadow is cast of from behind him.  Image B looks darker and does not fit with the other one peoples chosen images. Also image A has more facial expression which draws people in.




           A                                               B  

Above is two pictures of Will both pictures are of a good quality, however we decided to use picture A as it looks more relaxed than picture B as B looks more posed and tense. Also it seems to be caught mid    shot as his facial expression is not fully set. The good thing about both images is that a slight shadow is created behind them.

        A                                  B     

It was hard to choose between which of these images of Northy to use as both had aspects we were looking for Image A had more of a full shot but looked posed. However, image B looks more relaxed and fun but image B has a lot missing from the photo such as his arm and the rest of the guitar had these been included we probably would have chosen to use this one. We decided to go with image A as it fits better with the ones we have chosen of the other members and will make the flow smoother from image to image.

Record Label

Record Label Logo

Our logo is hand drawn and then coloured on photoshop. We decided to use the image of a skull and fire as we thought that it tied in well with our genre (rock music - particularly metal - often has dark and hell-like imagery). We also included the image of an old fashioned record which is an iconic symbol, relevant to music and also gives the image a more unique effect.
We chose the name 'Monstar' for our record label because we thought that it fit very well with our genre and the use of the pun ('Star' instead of 'Ster') gives the name a more humourous, unique effect.

Song Choice

Song Choice


We have chosen 'Growing On Me' by The Darkness to create our music video. We decided to use this song as we think that it would suit a wide audience. It's genre is glam rock and we think that this is a good sub genre to work around as it is fun, well liked, recognised and is not too heavy or too soft for our target audience. It also allows us to be creative and include a lot of settings and costumes.
The story behind the song could be interpreted in many ways; it could be seen as a man professing his feelings to a lover or even a humorous take on an illness. The fact that this song can stem so many varied ideas and stories means that it is perfect for our music video.
