Screening

We had our screening yesterday and it went so well!! We'd make a facebook event page and invtied everyone in our year and some from the years below and we had a huge turnout because of this! The room was completely full, we'd laid out tables for people to sit but everyone was standing aswell because was the room was so packed.  We printed 30 questionnaires but as we had alot more people than that, not everyone could fill out a questionnaire.  The response generally was very positive, most people giving the video 9 or 10 out of 10.  Alot of people said it looked really professional and the themes of boy band, screaming girls, money etc. came up a lot.  Also a lot of people compared them to JLS and The Wanted which is the look/style we were going for so we were glad this was recognised.  We filmed the screening so we'll put that up on Youtube soon!

Questionnaire

This is the questionaire Ciara and I made for our screening.  We ask questions about them aswell as about the music video eg. age, gender, how do they usually download music so we can compare this to our target audience.
Media Questionnaire

VIDEO!!

Our video is finished!! All the editing and rendering is done and it looks amazing! I'm ssoo happy with how it looks:

Website

We've now published our website and I'm so pleased with how professional and effective it looks.  Wix was really easy to pick and up and use as it doesn't involve any complex codes, its very flash based and had a basic template to begin with so it was very clear to us how to make text, links, upload pictures and videos, make galleries etc.

Here are some print screen shots from our website..

 

 

Shots for website

Me and Ciara worked on editing some individual shots we got from saturdays shoot for the website. I used a website called http://www.pixlr.com/editor/  and first of all used turn down the saturation so the colour wasn't as bright and then brightened it slightly. Then I used a effect called cross process and then I warmed it up and constrasted it slightly. These are how the pictures looked before and after..

Shoot Two - Seward Studio

On Thursday 4th November we had our second shoot in the seward studio from 3.45 - 7pm.  As we had alot of shots missing form our first shoot which was suppose to be a test shoot we concentrated on getting them which were mainly close ups and extreme close ups of each band memeber.  We did this by filming each individual band member on their own performing the whole song with the dance routine etc. so we had a huge range of close ups to choose from when editing.  We used the same blue filtered lights and haze machine from the first shoot as we thought it looked really effective and worked really well on camera.

Shoot One - Seward Studio

On Tuesday 2nd November we had our first shoot in the seward studio from 3.45 - 7pm. We had orginally planned to use this day as a test shoot/dress rehearsal but as we had everything set up and all the costumes ready we thought we might aswell shoot.  Ciara and I went out shopping for the costumes and I think the colour scheme and style of clothes was a really effective look for the band.  We all took it in turns filming and doing lights, we used blue filters over the lights to match our colour scheme.  We used the fan and haze machine to create a smokey effect which I think looked so good on camera and makes it look really professional.  Overall I think the first shoot went really well and better than expected.
