Go-Pro Strap Extention

For the chase scenes me and Liam decided to buy an extension to the school's go-pro. The extension allows us to film the actor's face without them having to hold the camera, we thought this would be ideal for the chase scenes. We thought allowing the audience to see their facial expressions will be more effective and create more suspense.

Social Media

 I decided to add social media logos on both my Digipak and my poster. I did this because my demographic would be young adults and they are the generation which relies on social media the most today. Bands today rely on social media to create a fan-base and promote new music and update them on tours and other news that would interest them. Bands with an older demographic usually post their news and tour dates in magazines such an the NME. The NME is also targeted for upcoming bands as well but the NME also focus on all demographics and keep the older bands stick to tradition. 

Here's an example of an indie-rock band using social media to update their fans and letting them know what they've recently been up to.

Animatic

Using our storyboard, Liam put together an Animatic with the storyboard in sync with the music. I think this was a big step for our music video because we now know that our narrative will be fine for the amount of time the song runs for, which is shorter than most music videos. At the moment I can't see us needing to change anything to the narrative as it all fit in perfectly and we structured it so the narrative is still clear in less than three minutes.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard for Brainstorm, me and Liam decided to have both narrative and studio in our music video due to the studio clips being fitting to the band's genre. The narrative is about Brain, a boy who is too big for his boots and thinks he can get away with anything. Brain hooks up with a girl in the night and finds himself in her bed the next morning, juxtaposing this the girl's boyfriend is arriving home and Brain runs past him. A chase scene begins and Brain ends up being beaten up in the middle of nowhere with no help.

The edits

These are the edits I made for my digipak panels. I decided to drop the idea of colours as I thought it didn't go well with the genre and more pop as the pop band JLS were iconic for each member having their own colour. I decided to go for a black and white theme as I could focus on contrast more and would have more availability for it to fit the genre more. I really like how Sam and James' edits came out, however I feel like Chris and Jordan (the bottom two) photos need to be touched up on Photoshop again as the lighting is a little incorrect compared to the others. I am going to play around with the size proportion of the photos as well because I feel like Chris and Jordan's are more zoomed out. I really like this black and white filtered idea rather than the colour idea. I edited all the images by using the levels and exposure on Photoshop and tried not to be too harsh on the amount used on the images so the faces are clear whilst the back of them is a clear black.

4th Shoot

After having this fourth shoot I finally have all my digipak images of the members. I am proud with how all four images came out like after our practice shots. I think Chris is going to be our vocalist as his image fits the role the best and he is the tallest of the band so will look better positioned at the front when filming our music video. I feel like the four boys all have similarities which will help with the conventions of our indie rock band.
