Possible Props

Drum Kit



Microphone 
Scooters
Guitar 








the reason we have chosen these props is because they are all appropriate to the theme and ides for a video which we found from our audience research and surveys. 
we chose three props to do with the band scene. drums, microphone and guitars so we can recreate an authentic scene and then scooters which we can use to ride around london and give a feel of us recapturing our youth. 

Possible locations

Harrods
Revolving doors 
Stage  
Central London


Bridge 
From our audience feedback we discovered that people would like to see the majority of the video filmed outside. We decided that we will commence filming in central london as it is an outside location that will look good on camera and everybody will recognise. We have planned to visit key tourist attractions to film such as The London Eye and Harrodds.

The reason we chose revolving doors was becasuse we thought that it gives the video a fun feel seeing the band runnning round in a circle in the revolving doors.

Lyrics - Silent Film Project - Singer SongWriter

I'm offered forty six of the communicators gifts
I've wasted every drop of ink and every borrowed pencil lead
pretending i have seen something that's not been seen before
in the dusty carpet dirty cups and boot prints on my door
forgive me but i don't know what i'm for or against
I've not read what i'm sending to you all but it's yours

Name me after a Van Gogh spillage
I know where to go in the city
to the places that make heroes of the fools
singing stories of their wasted chances broken rules

I've settled every one of my re-occuring arguments
with a fiction that i lifted from the news and the news you brought
of the punches and the salmon that you caught
whilst living in the real world without me
forgive me but i don't know what i've brought to this party
and i'm drunk on things i wouldn't normally drink and broken hearted
I'm a lucky one it's how Willie Nelson started and perhaps
Paul Simon's gonna harmonise with me someday

Outline of ideas

After choosing our track we had a brainstorming session, too get some ideas down. We all instantly said that the video should just be a film of us running round and generally having fun as it is a really feel good track. :

Kiss digi-Pak analysis

Photoshop - Digi Pak


Today i started designing our group digi-pak and getting a feel for photoshop and some of the effects that i can incorporate to make the digi-pak look interesting and professional. The first thing i got done was the disc design, i decided to try and get the picture of us in front of the london eye so the wheel would go  around the disc and the axis was the centre point of the disk, above is the rough copy of what I accomplished. 
After this i was playing around with colour controls and artistic effects to see what else we can incorporate into our digi-pak.

Chris Brown - Fame album artwork analysis

Back cover 
Front Cover




Digi pak - analysis

Albert Hammond Jr - Yours to Keep
this digipak instantly catches the eye. it has bright colours and animated characters. the ideas that this puts into my head is a light hearted song maybe even a children's song or a nursery rhyme. after the listening to the track it can be said that the album cover relates in no way. The reason that this is a good is because it is attractive to the eye. 
inside

The inside of the case is more relevant to the track has an image of the three band members with a background which matches the mood of the song. 

the disk

on the disk it brings together the two images and links them. the three animated rabbits on the disk represent the bands member. this brings together the animation and light hearted imagery from the front and puts it together with the inside cover with the image of the band and the orange sky.

What to include in the Digi-Pak?

the digi-pak should incorporate a range of different factors. an ideal digi-pak will have attractive art or pictures and also images and text that is relevant to the artist and the song. A digi-pak has six panels which all need to be interesting below is an example of a good digi-pak. 




This is an example of a good digi-pak because it incorporates lots of attracting colourful images but also pictures of the artist and title of the album .I think this is a really good blend of ideas and comes together really effectively.

Focus group - summary

In our focus group we discovered that our target audience watch lots of music videos and enjoy the fun bubbly music videos.
the responses we got about our song was that is it



  • chirpy
  • happy 
  • fats moving 
  • exciting
The ideas that people gave for our music videos :
  • skateboarding 
  • running
  • laughing
  • cartwheels 
  • sun
from the results that we have collected, we have decided that part of our video should be filmed outside and should have an upbeat feel. we are going to use the member of the band and show them having a good time and decided that central london would be a good location to be on camera.

one thing that the audience wanted too see was skateboarding however we are not gonna do this becuase none of our band members can skateboard.

Focus Group

Yesterday we held a focus group where we asked 3 people to listen to the song and tell us there views. this is part of identifying our target audience and market research.

Our song- SingerSongwriter - Silent Film Project

Below is a live version of the band singing the song we have chosen. :

Changing of Song

Today we sat down as a group and discussed what ideas we had for the music video and what our thoughts were on the song choice. As we got down to it we realised that we had a little amount of idea about how the video would end up and felt that maybe it wasn't a good choice to continue using this song. 
We all agreed that we should choose  new song so we went on to unsigned.com. after a while of looking we all found a song which we liked this is called Singer/songwriter by Silent Film Project.  We instantly felt this was the right song and had a brainstorming session to picture the video.

Cinere - Photoshoot



Before we could use this song we had to end an email to the artist to ask for permission. Above is the email that we sent. within the email we had to ask for a copy of the lyrics and an MP3 copy of the song itself.    
After this i did somemore research in the artist:


Cincere is more than a gifted artist, he is a humble soft spoken young man on a musical mission and the formula is magic wherever he goes. The fan base is solid, adoring, and uniquely diverse.  Cutting edge, yet soulfully true to the core of his R & B roots, Cincere has fans riveted to the music and the lyrics…. messages of love, hope, and promise intricately woven in brilliantly crafted beats and orchestration.
Cincere was born and raised in Milwaukee WI United States and has opened shows for artsists such as Chris Brown,Bobby valentino and the black eyed peas.
