Final Cut

Protest Shoot - 19th March

These are some the shots from the shoot.

On the 19th of March I attended a protest to get some more footage for my groups music video. I wanted to capture a series of shots that involved our main character in a protest. However i was unable to capture this because my actor (charlie) fell ill and my other group member decided to drop out. This meant I was only able to capture filler shots. I feel the quality of this shoot was no up the the quality that I wanted because there was not the right subject (the main character in the protest).


This is the protest I Attended: http://www.standuptoracism.org.uk/

Band Images For Website

Here are some images that I quickly took of our band in the school studio. These images did not take to long to take due to the fact they are only going to be used on our band profile page on our website. We needed Plain images of our band looking at the camera so that fans could see what they looked like behind the mask on the home page. However we kept the image of our lead sing wearing a mask to reinforce our hole idea that our lead sing is the unknown 'Fifth Element'.

Digipac Designs

This is an image that I found on google images of smoke weaving in and out of a mask. As a group we decided that our front cover was going to be of our mark but it needed to be more dramatic then this so we thought smoke was a good way of achieving this.





Here Charlie has mocked up a quick example of what we wanted to achieve when photographing our front cover. He used the image from google images and replaced it with an image of our mask that we took for the merchandise on our website. We will use flash guns guns to capture the smoke and a black background to increase the contrast.

Charlie And I have decided we will use our photographic skills to capture this image for our digipac front cover. We will most likely use a studio to achieve this but will have to be care when using the smoke.

Website Analysis - Foo Fighters

This is the Foo Fighters merchandise website. I wanted to look more specifically at the shopping area of Band websites. Foo Fighters have a similar merchandise website to what we want to achieve.
This website is very simple but displays their products very well because the site is not cluttered and clearly shows what each of the products looks like. They have kept their navigation bar and band name/logo at the top of the web page so that it is easy for users to find their way to other areas of the website.

Here is an screenshot of our merchandise page in which Charlie has put cloths, that I have photoshopped our band logo onto, on the page. We used a simple dark grey background because we felt that dark colours gave off the right atmosphere for our band. We did not use back because black is too overpowering and will kill off the other parts of our website.
