Filming Itinerary

Filming Day

Learning how to play other instruments

We have decided to watch these tutorials to help the band members look more like they are playing to give a better more professional finish.

Reflection Post - 25/11/2014

After receiving feedback on our first music video draft, the overall impression was positive and well liked. It was noted that the good points of the video where the performances of a few members, especially drummer Adam who was praised on his deadpan expression throughout the video and it was advised that all band members should copy Adam's approach. Our incorporation of the black and white feature was promising and complimented the video well. The styling of our band was the stand out thing in our draft, quote Mr Ford "The styling was impeccable" which is what are main aim was to ensure that the styling was on point, we also got comments on how well framed our shots where throughout the video which is down to our camera man Tarun. On to the negatives of our drafts and the points that where picked out, firstly it was Dino who wasn't looking directly at the camera on his solo performances and let his eyes stray. Another point was that the band need to set a specific order and stick to that , as during the draft the guitarists seemed to switch places a few times. Overall our draft was good just need a few minor tweaks to hopefully produce a level 4 video.

We have decided to re-film our video on Friday the 5th of December to perfect our video and achieve a level 4.

Draft Video Feedback

Adam, Tarun, Jack, Dino (Matt) - Level 2

All the band need to deadpan the performance (see Adams face). Maybe to drum on first beat. Costume is appropriate, room works, most shots well framed.
Dino always look straight ahead!
Take care to keep order in line up.
We EXPECT level 4!
Singer has to be dead on, really on it and focused.

- Black and white works really well
- Styling is impeccable
- Don't bother with the walk (not essential to the success of the video)

Journey of Digipak

Image 1: Before designing our Digipaks i had a thought of using a picturesque setting for my image, like a quarry as i felt the randomness of it would suit the alternative theme as its pretty distinctive.

Image 2 : I continued with the quarry/picturesque theme again for image 2 , but this time from a different angle to get a different sense and view.

Image 3 : Image 3 goes away from the quarry theme and more onto a simplistic image of a tree but i liked the idea of the tranquil still black and white image.

Image 4/5 : These are my adaptations of a landscape/picturesque setting, but i didn't think it looked right.

Image 6 : This is me beginning to change my idea , I felt a more simplistic approach to my digipak would work a lot better.

Image 7 : This is a quote from Dieter Rams a graphic designer who works for Braun , who sums up my new approach to my digipak, where keeping it simple works.

Image 8 : I selected this image as i feel as though " Hollow " really means emotionless and empty.

Image 9 : At first i wanted to use a stencil font, but after some deliberation decided it wasn't really the font that suited my digipak, I then finally settled on a block font which fitted perfectly with the layout i was going for.

Image 10 : I felt as though black and white where emotionless colours so it fitted well with the theme of my digipak.

Image 11 : This is a Swim Deep album, this is the type of digipak that i'm going for it is very simple and using thew same colour pallet as me.

Image 12 : This image is my advert with the incorporation of the ideas and examples I have looked at
with my twist, I have attempted to keep it simple and minimalistic but also approach it with a stylish look and layout.

Image 13 : This is another example of a digipak I took inspiration from, it is of The 1975 album.

Image 14 : And my final example I took inspiration from is the iconic Arctic Monkeys AM album.

Image 15 : This is my final Digipak
