PURPOSE OF A MUSIC VIDEO


One of the main purposes of music videos , is to promote the artist/artists that sing it. Sometimes the artist themselves features the video which gives the person full exposure. But within some music videos the artist does not appear within the video themselves. furthermore more in some cases can tell the story of the lyrics sung by the artist for better understanding towards the audience.

 For example, the song Photograph sung by Ed Sheeran  has a music video which clearly describes the lyrics which tell about his life story and how he has grown up to where he is today.

http://joshspivack1.wixsite.com/mysite When looking at our website for our band we wanted to represent them as an organic and real band.

We wanted the star image to come across on the website showing they are a simple band who just want to produce good music for their fans. As well as not having abstract colours to draw in fans as we focused on the music side of our band to increase our fanbase.  Our front page is different to many other bands website similar to ours. We wanted a big bold photo of our band to draw the attention of the audience to the band so they become more recognisable and well known. This is because we want to sell their image as a real and authentic band so we had a black ad white photo of the band in their smart clothes. This draws all the attention to the band in wh

SHOOT DAY

On the first Morning of shooting, were we very lucky to have nice bright blue sky weather, however due to the strong sunlight the filming was effecting due to the number of shadows created by people and camera equipment but on a whole I think we managed it well. Furthermore, the ability to use a drone to film some birds eye shots was another bonus as it added another dimension towards our movie and the viewers perspective. Unexpectedly when filming  we did however come across a problem which was the ride of the vehicle uses in the filming. Due to hard suspension some film was jigging about and quite bumpy which did effect our progress but does mean we have to work extra harder to make the film look professional and get the best features in to add to the 'horror' themed effect. Another problem that occurred on the morning of the filming was the number of vehicles that passed us in our location. This meant filming specific parts look longer then expected and more edite
