Group meeting: Preparing for our music video

Today we sorted all our props out and got ever group member to bring theirs in. We also completed our shot list and call list. The group came together to discuss whether or not we could get it all done on friday without any stress. We figured we could since our main problem was we didnt have the fish but then we got the fish brought in today. we spoke to dan about everything and he basically showed us how to organise everything. and gav eus our time for casting and setting up our set.

PHOTOSHOP OF CAST MEMBERS

Here are our four band members. specifically chosen because of their edgy ooks and their specific talents. The on sitting down is our dJ.

 

SIMILARITIES

 

 

This clearly shows the similarities with these boy bands. they both have an edgy look and dark look they both acquire.

 

Research For The Ancilliary Task

Radio Head album cover arts.

this is similar to our album art as it is strange and surreal, its a rainbow which kind of looks like a zoomed in eye ball. made to look like that intentionally.

Guano apes album cover arts.

                         

This is similar to our band as it has an animal in representations to the artist, which is quiet strange. In our music video we also use worms to represent surrealism and it might be a clever idea to use it as an album art.

 
LAMX  Album Cover

I like this a album cover because its quiet creative in its structure and its visual element aswell. It also features some of the indiviaul artist photographs which makes it easier to show the type of music that would be in this album. as you can tell from the photo the guy is wearing black, he has dark hair and dark eyeliner on. its obviously rock or heavy metal artist.

MY STORYBOARD ANIMATIC

STAR IMAGE FOR OBSCURE

Obscure would achieve similar star image to Muse, which is an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, formed in 1994. The band consists of school friends Matthew Bellamy (lead vocals, lead guitar, piano, keyboards, keytar). The reason is that they are a younger band and target people of younger ages.

Obscure is a young english boy band that attract loads of female fans. They would be remembered not only for their unique style in music but for their attractive looks and that would be one of their main marketing points.

TARGET AUDIENCE FOR OBSCURE

Target audience ages range between 16 - 25

PRIMARY TARGET AUDIENCE
16-19

Profile
Gender: female and male

Lifestyle: Experiencers, Enthusiastic, impulsive and Rebellious, too young to care about what else is going on in the world. They seek excitment and what would keep their adrenaline running. looking for whats risky and dangerous to do. trying to go against, rather than conform to the regular teenagers.

Interest: They are interested in looking trendy and looking outrageous. they like attention so they would mostlikely be loud and obnoxious in personality. they are interested drinking and partying with their mates aswell as being in bed all day. 'sleep all day and party all night'

SECONDARY TARGET AUDIENCE
 20-25

  Profile
Gender: female and male

Lifestyle: Experiencers aswell as strivers. They are a bit rebellious for their age but not as rebellious as the teenagers. more conservative in their private life. They work and have other responsibilities so dont seek as much excitment as the younger audience. they occasionally drink and party hard.

Interest:They are more interested in financial issues rather than looking trendy. They enjoy a good night at the pub regularly. watching reality tv.

Interest

RADIO HEAD (Similar band to placebo)

RADIO HEAD
Radiohead are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwood (bass), Phil Selway (drums, percussion) and Ed O'Brien (guitar, backing vocals).

This band is similar to placebo in how they dress how they look(wear dark make-up and wear black clothes).
Thye also make similar music to placebo like their music video '2 + 2 = 5' is very similar to Placebo 'every you every me'




They also attract the same type of dark gothic target audience as placebo does this is because they make similar music

here is a link to their websites ---> http://radiohead.com/

TARGET AUDIENCE FOR PLACEBO

Placebo - running up that hill

Placebo - Every you every me (OFFICIAL VIDEO)



This video quiet carefully show us the target audience the ban Plaebo attracts. They are 'die-hard' fans that range from ages 16 - 32. You could also tell from this video that it attracts both male and female audiences and i personally think this video shows that its male dominated

Goths are more likely to be attracted to placebo genres.

i found that while watching the music video to 'every you every me' i saw a whole lot of black/dark haired people in the video, hardly any blonde girly girls in the video. Also i found that they looked more in their twenties tham in their teens.

With this link to placebo website you could already get an overall veiw to the type of people they attract. they sell gothic like clothes and have alot of dark images on the website. So this confirms the type of target audience they attract.

My Presentation [Prop listing & Sketch]

Prop Listing on Prezi

Prop list and Set Design

Meeting with Dan about lighting.

We spoke to Dan about the lighting and set design that we will be using in our video.

He told us to make the lighting generally very dark, and also told us we would have light coming out of windows to give a certain surreal effect e.t.c. We added another room so the end conclusion was that there would be the rooms in a strange 1970's looking house, consisting of the bathroom, kitchen and bedroom. Having the girls doing weird stuff in each room while we would have the band also performing in the living room of the house as if they are next door.  

We added a few things to go with the lighting like; we would have the girl in bath of white milk, getting dirtier throughout the clip. The girl is also mad and starts to recreate her ex boyfriend out of the strange objects in her house. We would have her dressed in a nurse costume as she has gone slightly insane.

There will be shots through the wall that will be taken on a 'dolly', so that the camera seems to be going through one room to the next (cutting between performance and narrative). Creating an effect that would go perfectly would the video.
