CD Cover Idea

 

The writing will be white with a black background to represent the dark, gothic style of the band.

 

The pictures of the band members and what they play will enable the audience to be able to work out who is playing what in the song.

 

 

This is just a basic inlay for the CD to fit into with the name of the band written around it.

 

This is a list of the songs on the CD to allow the audience to see what other songs are on this CD so that they know what they are listening to.

Shot List

Doing a shot list enables the us to know what shots we want to use on the day so that we don't waste time making up shots.

What do the band say the song represent?

Do they have nay inspiration?

Target Audience For Our Band

Coma69 is a 4-piece band, based in the Guildford area. Currently rehearsing in Aldershot, the band have played many live gigs, including Guilfest 2011, and have appeared on radio stations including 96.4 Eagle Radio. The band also play regular gigs at The Unicorn, Aldershot. From a media perspective they can be portrayed as "Experiencers" - seeking variety and excitement, looking for something new, offbeat and risky. Still formulating life values and patterns of behaviour, while being enthusiastic about possibilities and taking risks. When weighing these ideals against the choice of target audience, the main focus for our band will be REBEL and DROP-OUT individuals; wishing to make the world in their own image and choose to simply enjoy the thrills of life.

 We have a primary audience of 17 - 23 year old rockers shown in the pictures below:

We also have a secondary audience of older people shown in the pictures below:

Evaluation Of The Role Of Storyboards And The Animatic

A storyboard is crucial to making a music video as it helps the camera crew and the actors to know what shots to put in, how it needs to be laid out and what the shots need to look like. We spent a long time deciding what shots we wanted to put into our music video, but due to it being a performance based video we have had to repeat some shots quite a lot. We decided that because it is a rock band, we would make it a performance video to show the band playing the instruments and shots of fire.

Storyboarding enables us to be able to see what shots need to be improved and what shots can be cut out. The concept of our video is to portray a dark, gothic rock band, showing how the band play the instruments. 

Making the animatic was very useful as it enabled us to find out that we needed to add more of a variety of shots, and also add more shots. 

How We Made The Animatic

We started by getting the song 'Down and Out' by Coma 69 and dragging it on to the timeline of Final Cut Pro. We worked out the order that we wanted the shots to be displayed and then dragged them onto the timeline. We cut them to the length that we wanted them and slotted them in. We had to repeat shots to make the 2 minute 45 second song because it is a performance video therefore the shots would be repeated to emphasise the instruments. We repeated this the whole way through the animatic.

Green Screens

Blank screen allows designers to superimpose digital images into the background of your video to create unique environments.
Not new technology but is most effective way of integrating high quality images into background.
It’s cost effective as green screens give you the background you want without having to travel to get it.
Pretty much any background can be created therefore there is not way of it limiting you to certain backgrounds.

Location

As we are doing a performance video, we are going to shoot the band in the studio and record flames out in the field to animate with the band.

Coma 69 Down And Out Lyrics

Down And Out

It's just a matter of time
Before the world turns in his favour
But addiction plagues his mind
And the streets are where he calls home


Just hanging out
'Cause he's got
No-where else to go
Begs for his money
Got holes in his shoes
Still got fire in his soul


It's just a matter of time
Before the world turns in his favour
But addiction plagues his mind
And the streets are where he calls home


He's moved on
From day to day
But he still survives
He's living off drugs and alcohol
No-one cares if he's alive


It's just a matter of time
Before the world turns in his favour
But addiction plagues his mind
And the streets are where he calls home


A tortured mind
A broken soul
He numbs the pain to get through it all
Can't get worse
Or so they say
We'll leave that saying for another day


It's just a matter of time
Before the world turns in his favour
But addiction plagues his mind
And the streets are where he calls home

Heavy Metal Genre

Heavy metal is a genre of rock metal that developed in the late 1960s. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are generally associated with masculinity. The first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often critically reviled, a status common throughout the history of the genre.

Progress So Far On Our Music Video

Our first idea of a mechanic in a low class, low wage job getting angry and smashing up a car hasn't worked as we couldn't get a car to smash up that wasn't to expensive. So we came up with a new idea to have a man driving a stolen car down a road and then setting fire to it in a field. This idea also didn't work as we needed the two cars to be the same that we drive and then set on fire, but the idea fell through when the person that was going to give us the car to blow up then sold it to someone else.

Our final idea is that we just do a performance video. We use the band Coma 69 to perform the track that they need a music video for and then make the lighting and scenery really good. We would use images of fire on a green screen and animations of buildings on fire. This would then also use our idea of fire but incorporate all the aspects of what we want in to one video.

Evaluation Of The Storyboards

A storyboard is a graphical representation of the camera shots in a film sequence which are connected together to create a 'narrative flow'. It enables the film director to visualise the flow of camera shots and sets that she wants to eventually appear on the cinema screen. It helps the director to decide the sequences of shots, the movement of actors, camera directions and lighting directions. It most importantly illustrates how the narrative will flow from one shot to the next as the audience watches the film.
