journal week 6

This week we have been designing our Digi pack on paper and on photoshop. First considering what we could have on our digi pack to personalise it to our song and our band. Due To one of our band members going solo we have had to re-draw our story board slightly and consider days for filming.

This is our merchandise for our band. We believe this would be a good idea because it brands our name to the public. We chose hats and t-shirts for now but also decided on other items our target audience might want for themselves, for example we have thought of bags for school, stationary equipment and of course posters. The teens that aren't at school we brand items like this (T-shirts and hats) bobble heads and books.

costumes

These are the costumes that our band members will be wearing or something similar. We have decided that each member of the band has a specific look, this helps the member be identified and applies to our target audience

These are feedback sheets from the class, that we handed out.
We found that most of our feedback was good, people also gave us points on what to improve  on. We found this helpful and have started making the changes people suggested.

journal week 5

This week we have presented to our class a presentation of our work so far. We ran our ideas with the class asking if their was any feedback on how we can make our video more suited to our viewers or if there is anything they would like us to add. We handed out feedback sheets asking "The elements that work"
"Things that need developing are"  "Things that don't work are".We received feedback on Target audience  
ideology and logo. We also received good feedback on our costume and the supernatural element of our video.

presentation

Lyric and visual - Goodwin suggest that lyrics will make constant references to visuals on screen, we have used this by using the lyrics as our script and acting out the story bit by bit. A example of this would be when one of us says "It's gonna be me" there is a close up on our face.


Genre characteristics - These are certain traits that are often associated with the genre. In our video we will be having a lot of dancing, which is usually associated with the pop genre.

Notions of looking - This is where women or men are seen as objects. In our video we do not use this as it is not what are video is about, our video is about 4 guys trying to win one girls heart.


Demands of the record label - Our record label would want us to come off as dreamy or sexy to our target audience, so people interested in pop music will watch us or so we can draw in people to our music.


Narrative based - This is like lyrics and visual where the music comes to life like a story, this is exactly what we are doing in our video we are telling a story of four guys trying to win a girls heart by showing her that they are best for her. They will be showing her by the use of their elements Air, Water, Fire, Earth. They will be using them to make her life better when she needs it.

By using Goodwins theory our group can understand better how to structure and shoot our music video. It has also given us a better knowledge of what a music video should have.
