Music Video Crit .

After finishing the first lot of editing for our music video we took part in a crit which would create the chance to improve out music video and even refim if we were in dire need to. We recieved some positive feedback and was given several suggestions on how we could improve our music video........

*Improve on the narrative. for example have more of a storyline and why the band decided to do what theyre were doing.

* Close up shots.

*Shots from a wider varietty of angles.

Now we have finished filming and editing we will take part in a crit to see what we can do to improve our Music Video, so far from the feedback we have already recieved we need to work on close up shots and the narrative, so we are planning to reshoot in a weeks time a few more shots to include.

To do list.....

Finish filming and editing
Finish Digipack, add two more images of the group.
Create a website.


To do shots.....
Corridor scene.
projection.
White wall
Black wall
Laying down shot with fabrication.
Walking towards the camera.
Correography
Camera moving shot, (multiple shot by using a DSLR camera).

Equipment needed
Projector
Assetate paper
insruments
Costumes
Fabric
Cameras
Triopod

With most of the equipment needed we already have or have easy access to so it shouldnt cause any problems with fliming.

We have now began filming and taking pictures. We have explored with different lighting, positioning and camera technique's. For our first part of filming went well and gradually the more practice we experience he more we will get better and improve our skills.

Name idea's for our bands.

Creating Our Music Artist

Name:...............

Genre: Pop rock, ElectroPop and Dance

Our artist will be formed as a young girl band all ranged around the ages between 18 and 23. The all girl band consists of 5 members, all attractive, and each with a unique and individual voice and personality to bring to group.

Biography: The girls all come from the UK and each play instrument's like the guitar, the piano and the drums. They all grew up together, sharing a passion for music and the devotion to pursue their love of music. They grew up listening to influential music from artist such as, Spice Girls, The Bangles and Banaramma. They have performed at charity gigs and have been a supporting act for the artist Pink's recent tour of the UK. The group are now preparing for the UK tour which the dates will soon be posted on their twitter page and website later this month. They will also be featured in next months Look magazine and have many up coming magazine deals and TV appearances. They are also signed up for interviews with T4 and two other radio stations and will be doing a Cd signing when their single is released in the 15Th October.

The artist image and how it will be constructed: Tainted Reality all have their individual styles and how they are presented but are linked together and with each others personalities. The completed image to their audiences and the media will be sophisticated and sexy. Tainted Reality produce their own music and have a major say in all of what they do.

The Bands identity: Bold and Sexy, they will be in control of their music career and the representation of their band. They make decisions together and want their image to constantly change to keep their audience intrigued.

Web space: Tainted Reality have their own website aimed at their audience and each band member has an individual twitter page for their fans to contact them, and to show the normality within the group.

PR stunts and Gimmicks:
The band used to have a regular job at a bar in London where they would perform on a Friday night. Alliances that will be used are things such as an upcoming chance to record with Timberland and Mr Hudson. Tainted Reality want to get out there and do as much as possible to promote themselves, especially if it benefits their loyal fans.

CD: With each individual CD a promotional code will be given to access the website, which will enter the fan into a draw to win front row seats to the upcoming tour. The digipack will have a singed photo of each band member, song lyrics and information about the band.

Target Audience: Tainted Reality will be aimed at mostly teenagers ranging from the ages starting at 13 to most probably people in their 20s. However its impossible to designate an actual age range of the audience because their music could potentially be aimed for any age because their style changes constantly and isn't just a narrow category.

My Group

My group consists of me and Nichola Daley, we both share similar ideas and together we can bring very individual skills to the project.

After alot of consideration we have decided on the idea of creating a girlband, taking into context the traditions that most girlbands have.
Some of the girlbands we will be looking at range over recent years and decades; girlbands like

Bananarama
1982

Girls Aloud
2002

The Supremes
1967

The Sugababes
1998

The Saturdays
2008
