Planning:Band Website

We have chosen to use the website Wix to create our band website on. This free website offered us a great range of templates to use, especially band related ones.This is the one we picked:

We chose this template as it already had the colour scheme and layout we had originally planned to use. The website allows us to alter all of the photos, banners, video and information boxes which was incredibly useful when it came to customizing it to our liking. We plan to create a custom header create social media pages related to our band that we can link to from this site like most band website have. We also have a few photos taken from our music video set so we can create a gallery and add it to the website.

Research:Inser Booklet Case Study:Oasis-Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

By analysing insert booklets our group was able to get a good idea of what needed to be included in them and what works well and what do sent. We were also able to take inspiration form this particular insert booklet that we can then use in our own insert booklet.

Planning:Risk Assessment

This is our risk assessment form for a location in Sheffield. We understand that we are entering a an old abandoned warehouse which could pose potential hazards and have therefore come up with appropriate measures to prevent an incident from happening.

Planning:Filming Location Scouting

The location which we would like to use is located in Sheffield but are awaiting a response from the owners of the location for permission to film there. However, even though is further drive than our other option we believe it is better suited to our needs. The old warehouse bares resemblance to the scene of Reservoir Dogs that our music video will attempt to parody so is exactly what we are looking for.

 

 

Just in case we are unable to get our desired location we went and scouted another location.With this location being in Chesterfield it would make filing much easier. However this set was a little cramped and needed to be cleared if we were to use it for filming the Reservoir Dogs scene there but it did offer a perfect back drop for the scene we had in mind. The main downside to this location was that area of space we were given was in fact so small that we would have to record our band performance shots at another location which would take even more time to film and would not really fit with the band shots we had already planned out.

Research: YouTube Case Study

As i am going to be using YouTube a lot throughout this media course, I thought it would be a good idea to do a case study on the website and explain how I am going to be using it myself:

Planning: Permission Request

To ensure that our music video does not get taken off YouTube due to copyright issues I decided to  send an email to Stealer's Wheels record company (A&M Records) requesting permission to use the song fairly:

Planning:Rough storyboard-Steelers Wheel Stuck in the middle with you

Our group created a rough story board to give ourselves an idea of what shots and ideas we could use in our final music video. We will be doing another story board to finalise our ideas in preperation for filming.
