</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">When we were preparing for our evaluation I decided to make cue cards to help us with our points without always having to read of big pieces of paper. They contained our main points and some, such as this one, contained points in which we wanted to show examples. I believe they were successful and made our group look professional. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I was given the task of revising Goodwin theories and applying them to our video. We filled in a table for this which helped us determine how his theroies applied to us and whether we followed, developed or challenged the conventions<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I think this question went really well as we all managede to contribute equally, with each of us having slightly more to say about what we had researched. We found this question dominated most of our time and sowe had to cut down some of what we said to keep it around 20 minutes. However it was an important question and so needed a lot of knowledge of theory and analysis.</span> <br />

We began to discuss this in an informal group meetnig at a coffee shop, writing down lots of ideas and evaluating the way in which we used our technologies (which you can see below). This question went well, as throughout the project we'd really got to know our equipment and so knew a lot about it. <br />

We also got feedback from adults and former students. This was my question to lead and I gathered together all the feedback and wrote it up choosing critical and informative feedback. <br />

This question also went well, with everything flowing smoothly and everyone having a different piece of feedback to speak about. Splitting the feedback (between good/ bad/ album cover/ myspace) helped to, not only, give people a chance to talk, it allowed us to analyse our feedback critically.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529573674550969948.post-85862334511274151492009-12-09T08:39:00.000-08:002009-12-17T08:42:46.752-08:00Album cover<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">We decided that, for the inside face of our digipack, where the CD would sit, we should graffiti our names into a design. We liked this idea because it makes us more relatable and normal, like down-to-earth girls that doodle like everyone else. Holly was designated the job of drawing the graffiti. She put in little details such as the martini-cocktail glass , stars, an eye and a heart, and made the writing for all our names different in some way, to show our different personalities.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is our flatplan for our album cover. On the front we are thinking of having individual pictures of ourselves in columns with the band name and title of the album at the top. On the back cover we are thinking of having a still shot from our music video of the shoes with the track listing between the shoes because this is quite quirky and fun and ties in our hit single with the album. On the inside cover we are thinking of having a picture of the four of us together in the same outfits from the front, and behind the CD we are thinking of having a picture of the locket with pictures of us inside as this also ties in our hit single.<br />

It didn't seem as motivated as the first shoot. Saying that we all took our turn shooting and got some really interesting shots- a success overall. In the narrative we are having Laura lying on a bed, she then looks at the locket and the picture inside of her and her boyfriend (the one we are singing about in the song) and she then goes to the mirror which is where we then 'go into her mind' which is the footage from the studio and us as the sins. For the end of the narrative we shot Laura falling back onto the bed looking happy and slightly more evil than when she started which shows that 'the sins' have corrupted her. Here are some behind the scenes pictures:<br />

The shoot went really well; we got all the footage we need and more! The atmosphere was a bit weird among the group as I think we were all a bit tired and stressed. However we just got through it professionally, not letting our feelings affect the footage we got in the end.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529573674550969948.post-35029851385710816672009-11-09T09:07:00.000-08:002009-12-17T09:07:54.448-08:00Band NamesWe thought we should probably start collecting ideas together for our band name (i.e. come up with a name pronto!)<br />
<br />
We thought seeing as Laura is our main girl, but we play such a key role in the video that instead of being a solo singer, or just a group, it would be a fun idea to be '[Someone] and the [Somethings]'<br />
<br />
This is quite a retro thing to do, famous in the motown days, but has been revived recently with bands like 'Florence and the Machine'<br />
<br />
In the 50s most single artists had a band that would be named in their act when they performed<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Johnny Cash and the Tennessee Three</span></strong><br />
<br />
Then in the 60s, Motowns hey-day, most groups were a main artist with their backing vocals.<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Martha Reeves and the Vandellas</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Diana Ross and the Supremes</span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Gladis Knight and the Pips </span></strong><br />
<br />
Then in the 80s, other groups, had major success and featured this same name format<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Kool & the Gang</span></strong><br />
<br />
Then in more recent times bands have adopted this format again to give a retro, and unique vibe to the band<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: 180%;">Florence and the Machine</span></strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529573674550969948.post-63363552363980476242009-11-09T08:53:00.000-08:002009-12-17T08:54:15.186-08:00Shoot 2<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have made a plan to shoot the narrative for our music video tomorrow at Holly's house as we are using her parents bedroom for the mise-en-scene and tomorror is the only time everyone is available due to drama rehearsals and coursework deadlines going on at the moment.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have booked out all the pag lights, camera, and a tripod. We have booked out all the lights because we will be shooting in the evening and we need to make sure that the lighting isn't too dark compared to our studio footage. In the shoot Laura will be wearing the blue dress we all wore in the studio footage and will have natural make up. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So props we need to bring are:<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Blue dress, Heels (in case we want to use them), Make Up, Hair Straightners, Shooting Equipment<br />

There are further guidance questions on the main MV blog, and you should also provide a summary of the main Myspace conventions somewhere on your blog.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529573674550969948.post-87884670900837963192009-10-11T07:31:00.000-07:002009-12-17T01:45:37.500-08:00Costume InspirationI've gathered inspiration for our costume ideas for the deadly sin idea. These aren't things we should wear exactly but we could use them a a basis for our looks. Most of these pictures are from the Metropolitan Costume Institure Gala as it's a night where celebs dress wild and wear wonderful things.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size:180%;color:#330033;"><strong>1. Lust</strong></span><br />
Instead of going down the route that lust=red and passion, we've decided to make lust seem more deadly, giving it a dominatrix feel. These images are the kind of feel we want the look to have (maybe not the one of the leather lingerie...)<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPBE-drHlzZqbQlUOEtJfKoa5QZwL35g2vqOFYdFMYQJIp-VguHmsl-whymM5rj7QlWzPmvdk7n8SCRi51PXUB5-IRMzjN0feUc9PWji1OyAMZcMm11kTRkebpmKpcOCDm112bKRG678/s1600-h/mary_kate_feather_dress_mode_large_qualite_uk.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391350254463900914" style="WIDTH: 246px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 309px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyPBE-drHlzZqbQlUOEtJfKoa5QZwL35g2vqOFYdFMYQJIp-VguHmsl-whymM5rj7QlWzPmvdk7n8SCRi51PXUB5-IRMzjN0feUc9PWji1OyAMZcMm11kTRkebpmKpcOCDm112bKRG678/s400/mary_kate_feather_dress_mode_large_qualite_uk.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />
I really like the gothic feel of this dress and it's fabulously ott but looks great<br />

OK so this is really just underwear but its leather and dominatrix-y. worn with leggings instead of stockings it would be less provocative but still have the look we are going for.<br />

I like this look of the leggings and blazer. It's got shouilder pads, sequins, it's the kind of the thing we were going for just with better shoes...<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#009900;">2. Envy</span></strong><br />
<br />
Envy and jealousy are seen as green, hence the expression 'green with envy'. Our inspired look will be of course: green, also glamorous and sexy.<br />
<br />

This is the famous dress from atonement and it's very graceful and sophisticated. I love the rich green shade but I think our 'envy' should be vamped up a bit.<br />

<span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc33cc;"><strong>3. Greed/Glutony</strong></span><br />
We used Marie Antoinette as the basis for this as she was known for her extravagance and indulgence. We are going to base the look on her, whilst modernising it slightly.<br />

Here's a picture of Kirstin Dunst in the 2006 film Marie Antoinette. I put this picture us to she ideas for the makeup (pale, rouge, red lips..) and the hair.<br />

I think this dress is a modern day version of a marie antoinette/ french renaissance dress. If Ms. Antoinette were still alive today I believe she would have worn this dress.<br />

This video for Girls Alouds 'Can't Speak French' shows the french renaissance inspired look, which looking at this wouldn't be too hard to copy.<br />

When thinking about rage and anger firey colours such as oranges and reds come to mind. Here's some inspiration I found we may use to inspire our costume for wrath<br />

This dress is really beautiful. I really like the details of the corset. However I think it's too elegant and 'happy' looking.<br />

Make notes in answer to the questions below:<br /><br />1. What are the typical features that an album cover has? Make a list of all the elements they have in common.</strong><br /><ul><li>Names of Album </li><li>Name of Artist/Band</li><li>Picture of band or coontrasting that a picture of something really obscure and non realted. </li><li>Most of them were colourful to help them stand out, or had a striking picture to make them memorable after all they are a marketing tool </li><li>Track List</li><li>Colour/font scheme - usually recognisable </li><li>Barcode </li><li>Legal/institutional info</li><li>web address<br /></li></ul><p><strong>2. How would you categorise the covers in front of you? Are there any other ways of distinguishing between them other than generically?</strong><br /></p><ul><li>The images used on the front: either band image, grapic design or completely obscure. Photos rather than designs or drawings. </li><li>Mainstream/niche</li><li>Group/solo artist</li><li>Era</li><li>Gender: Male or Female </li><li>It's audience: old/young</li><li>Record label</li></ul><p><strong>3. Album covers serve many different functions. What do you think these are (ie what is their purpose?)</strong><br /></p><ul><li>Marketing tool - selling the artist through image.</li><li>Make them stand out on the shelves in stores</li><li>Show a logo or graphic that is linked with the band to make it more recognisable</li><li>Promote the image of the band</li><li>Let the audience know what work will be on the album before they buy it<br /></li></ul><p><strong>B:Choose one album cover out of your selection. It might be a particular favourite, or one that is particularly visually interesting. Prepare deconstruction notes of the cover (back, front, inside sleeve).</strong><br /></p><p><strong><span style="color:#cc0000;">Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head</span></strong> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389136040703974306" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_OxIjis57VvFnrW1VgPMz2W2uKIjC3VjGRNAaVWaK2qCGp-VwEKuF-HeGLXRz63VSIKzyjSP179ESO-u5e90GYik-r2gLo9z7shrMF0Kt8m_KTvKTqim6rcA4EE0cLgMy7ZTul3lPmJs/s400/coldplay+2.jpg" /> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftlSTEfvlAljVrJwlKTKah9AL2nRu1CKT4O48ibrIElLVj4aTa9Z-6DbYo_2XztoZ4myxK45wXgHq8VtH77EYYaEEP568tRTae0pSrAirpG5Vwm_jeuZgMbUTlsLFOV5XV6RaqIZQOrM/s1600-h/coldplay.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 312px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5389141645616735730" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiftlSTEfvlAljVrJwlKTKah9AL2nRu1CKT4O48ibrIElLVj4aTa9Z-6DbYo_2XztoZ4myxK45wXgHq8VtH77EYYaEEP568tRTae0pSrAirpG5Vwm_jeuZgMbUTlsLFOV5XV6RaqIZQOrM/s400/coldplay.jpg" /></a><br />A Rush of Blood to the Head was Coldplay's second studio album released on 26 August 2002 This image on the front cover is of half a 3D head and shoulders, on a plain white backgroud placed in the centre. The picture looks really eerie and creepy which shows Coldplay's unconventionality. </p><p>The cover art was designed by photographer Sølve Sundsbø and has quite an interesting story.<br /><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">"</span></strong>Sundsbø had been hired by fashion magazine Dazed & Confused in the late 1990s to produce something with a "technological feel, something all white". As an artist, he tried to do "stuff that hasn't been done before, which is virtually impossible"; he suggested taking shots using a three-dimensional scanning machine.</p><p>The model for the shot wore an all-white makeup because it produces the "best results"; however, for the image, the model also wore a twill-coloured cape. The computer could not read the colours so it was replaced with spikes, and the head in the image was chopped because the machine only scanned 30 centimetres. The editor of the magazine liked the image and eventually featured it in one of their publications.<br /><br />Martin saw the image in the magazine and approached Sundsbø for permission to use the image as the cover of A Rush of Blood to the Head. For the album's singles, Martin asked Sundsbø what he could do; the latter suggested scanning the head of each member of the band <strong><span style="font-size:180%;">" </span></strong><br /><br />The red writing for the album title stands out and so highlights it to promote the new album. However the writing is down the left hand side so as not to distract from the interesting and abstract image. On the back the name of the album and the band name is down both sides of the album, with the picture and track names in the middle. I can't make any definate connections between the images and the text but you could say that it is ironic that the title is 'a rush of blood to the head' and the image has only a fraction of a head.<br /><br />The band's genre is described as 'alternative rock' and so their look and branding must reflect this as well. This is why they haven't gone for a mainstream look of a picture of the band etc. </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-529573674550969948.post-27982482048911255422009-10-05T03:34:00.000-07:002009-10-05T04:07:10.092-07:00Textual Analysis of Music Videos<strong><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB7pQpNx-F4">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xB7pQpNx-F4</a></strong><br /><strong>1.

There are varying definitions of the term, ranging from a slower and mellower form of rock music to a subgenre of pop music"<br />It uses her pop image but her rough voice and guitar/drums emphasise the 'rock' element. Dave Navarro (who played guitar for Red Hot Chilli Peppers) co-wrote and played guitar for the song.<br /><br /><strong>2. What is the relationship between lyrics and visuals?</strong><br />-she's talking about being stronger and she appears 'strong' by throwing things and smashing thigns. Other people around her are collapsing and she is continues to fight through alpl the bad things that are happenening to her in the video. The song is about the guy messing with her head trying to put her down and there are point where the camera shakes showing his words messing with her and she holds and shakes it to get rid of his words, showing they're not affecting him. Mostly the lyrics are amplified and at times just dont fit at all. There's a bit where she's stuck to the wall and trying to escape which fit with the lyrics of the chorus. When you look into it and find out that it was written about her ex-manager it makes much more sense.<br /><br />" Makes me that much stronger<br />Makes me work a little bit harder "<br /><br />" Cause if it wasn't for all of your torture<br />I wouldn't know how to be this way now and never back down<br />So I wanna say thank you "<br /><br />wikipedia says: "Aguilera tosses aside her kimono after furiously removing the pins on her back and throwing them away. A tattered, white, moth-covered dress is revealed, symbolising her metaphoric evolution from a larva to a pupa. In addition, her hair becomes white, and moths fly on to her." --->This shows her transformation from pop-princess to serious artist.<br /><br /><strong>3. What is the relationship between music and visuals<br /></strong>The song is cut and edited to the beat with edgy angles and shakes<br />There are no solo instrumental bits because it is more about promoting her. However if you listen to the song on the album there are long instrumentals in the middle and at the end.<br /><br />The video doesn't change the pace of the song, but makes it seem much more creepy and twisted with shakey camera work and the weird costumes. If you listen only to the music appart form the ochestral music at the beginning, it sounds like a rock song and so the video doesn't reflect this.<br /><br /><strong>4. Are there close-ups of the artist and star image motifs?</strong><br />There are loads of CU's of Xtina but most don't fit with her previous image. Her record company are trying to re-invent her as a big important artist rather than just a pop star. The <em>Stripped</em> album which this song is taken from is Xtina reinventing herself and so all the videos she looks different but the first song of the album <em>Dirrty</em> marked the change for her.<br /><br /><strong>5. Is there reference to the notion of looking?</strong><br />Yes, there are lots of scopophilic shots of not only her but the other dancers. This song (unlike some of her others) seems less sexual however and more about empowerment. The costumes are not overly sexual, more really weird and quirky.<br /><br /><strong>This music video is performance and concept based-a very even balance. The concept being the look and her performance being part of that.</strong>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
