Band Name and Logo

For our band name we have decided on Raw Rebellion. This struck us as a name that would work for our band.
This our band logo. The black and white represents the band as a rock band, it lets people, who dont know much about the band, know what to expect before they even listen to the music. We have represented the bands name in the centre of our shield.
The lions in this logo represent a wild side to our band and the combination of the lion and the shield is used to represent dominance. The font we chose for the RR in the middle of our shield was chosen to represent a rock look about our bands logo, we have wildness and dominance and we had to round them together to have a rock feel to it all.

Equipment and Technology used

Making our music Video


To collect all our footage we will need to use video cameras that college will provide.
When we have all of our footage we will have to use Final Cut Express to edit the footage and piece our final product together. This program allows us to put all our scenes and footage into an order that we want, this is also were we add the sound to the video as well.








Ancillary tasks
When we are doing our ancillary tasks i will need a still camera to get my shots of the band in the adverts and the digipack.
The camera we will use is a Nikon D300 10.2 mp camera.











When we have taken these pictures we will have to use more programs on the computers to make the images exactly how we want them.
To get the actual image we want we will use 2 programs.
Photoshop will be used first to get the image exactly how we want it. If we need to crop, cut or change the lighting of the image.










Once we have finished getting our image,getting it exactly how we want it in terms of lighting and any other editing we need to do we will move onto InDesign. This will allow us to put different backgrounds on if we need to, and add the text that we will need to finalize our digipack and our album advert.

Storyboard

These are the two rough drawings of what are music video was going to be like. When it came to filming it gave us a good idea of what shots to film and from what angles. Also it helped us during the editing because we already had a good idea what order we wanted the shots to go in and for when and how long.

Music and Lyrics



I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying
And your hands they shake with goodbyes
And I'll take you back if you'd have me
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

And I'll miss your laugh your smile
I'll admit I'm wrong if you'd tell me
I'm so sick of fights I hate them
Lets start this again for real

So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready
So here I am I'm trying
So here I am are you ready

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always

I've been here before a few times
And I'm quite aware we're dying

Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Come on let me hold you touch you feel you
Always
Kiss you taste you all night
Always
Always
Always

Synopsis

For our video we want to shoot a performance and also a narrative then merge the two together. We think by having both it makes the video more interesting and the audience are less likely to get bored if it was all performance or narrative. We will have a three man band just like Blink 182 then we will also have a couple for the narrative. The band will obviously be playing the song and the characters in the narrative will be acting. We hope to film the performance from a variety of angles and heights so we have a vast array to choose from. For the narrative we were thinking about a couple that fall out because thats what the song is based on plus we hope to create flashbacks of the arguing in the past. We also have some ideas for editing such as slow motion, someone receives a text and violently throws their phone but it flys in slow motion.

Introduction to Planning

We have now completed our research into our genre and videos we will now move on to the planning of our own video. By planning what we hope to do now we will be organised when it comes to the filming, we will know what we want to shoot and what we don't but in the editing some things may change, like the order of shots for example. But by planning we want leave everything until the last minute and we will be prepared for recording.


Due to the company wanting us to pay we decided to change the song to Always by Blink 182.
