Website progress

We have added about the bands pages to the site that gives a background to the band that we created and the reason as to why there is only one person in the video. It also will give short profiles of the 'people' within the band so that is seems more like a real band's site

We have added a merch store to the site also so that band related items can be sold again adding to the authenticity of it all

Tour date page added the background is temporary until the digipak is closer to being done

Multiple of the same person in one shot

In the video we had an idea to have the character appear multiple times at once. We test shot this and found away to use the editing software to do it. This is the result that we got.



This was the effect that we wanted to achieve and we feel that this would work well in the video that we are doing since its a psychedelic video.

Fake album cover

We made another album cover that isn't our main cover to go on the website as part of the bands discography 

I downloaded the brushes of the speech bubble

Then filled in the background with on of the brushes already on photoshop

I downloaded the text from Dafont and used it as the main title

I then added to the background a snow (A downloaded brush) and used to look like stars/stardust to go with the cosmic theme.

This is the finished product and will go into the website as a previous album the band have created. It makes the band look and feel more real as older music will be "Available". 

Tour dates poster

We started out with a plain slightly colourless poster that didn't really fit with the genre that we are working in. The overall look was too plain had nothing to really make it stand out. 

We then added colour which made it a lot better but the colours obscured the text.

Our final one made the text clear but obscured the logo. This gives the idea that the music is more important then the band themselves. It puts for the idea that the band comes first.

costumes

This is the costumes that we plan on using in the video and in images of the band to make them look most like they fit in the psychedelic genre. From pervious research I have seen this what the costumes most look like. 

Editing progress

At this point in the project we are mostly accumulating footage to go into the video and so this far we have the stop motion of the guitar and some footage of the drum beat but we are planning to get out door footage of Max playing the guitar and lip syncing the words of the song.

psychedelic Website

http://yesworld.com/

This is an example of a psychedelic website that we are planning on making ours look like. There are two primary colours the contrast and stand out 

Yes is a band that's within the psychedelic rock genre with a fair simple layout and a colour scheme that carries through all the pages which is something that will go into our colour scheme. It will probably also look match the digipak that we create to go with it. We were also thinking of including album covers that weren't apart of the digipak that will go with the video so that the website seems more legitimate.

October 4th 2016 - Filming behind the scenes

Today we filmed drumming which doesn't require people to be in costume. Max (Drumming) of course did the acting, while Jake (filming) and I (photography) composed the shot that would go into the final (maybe, if we don't do reshoots) video. It was a short filming session that took place in a music room which we hadn't originally planned to film in (this is why there is no risk assessment with the others). 

Actors/Models

Currently we are only planning to use Max in the video as he looks like a psychedelic artist and is the only one with musical experience in the group. He is not camera shy and knows how to play the song that we are going to do. He doesn't get ill often and will have to be there every time we film. 

We have also found a drummer to make that part of the video look more realistic as Max is not a very good drummer.

Stop motion final idea

We are using stop motion at the start of the video. We have already started production and filmed the guitar in stop motion. We were also going to do the drumming in slow motion but after test shots we found that this didn't work well so we decided to film it in the conventional way. We have yet to edit it together.

DigiPak Schedule

When plan to get the digipak done during the first week of November when we know what the tone of the video is going too be. We have a general feel for the tone such as colourful and cheerful at first glance with darker undertones to it as that is what the lyrics within the song suggest which will dictate the colour scheme that we go with which is somethinf we didn't include on the flat plan.

Shooting schedule

October 4 - Stop motion guitar shots and drumming.
Oct 10 - Profile and Costume shots
Oct 17 - General scene shots
Oct 20 - Costume still shots and test shots.
November 3 - Outdoor shots in the park
Nov 14 - Studio facial shots and lip syncing

More shooting times will have to be scheduled around lessons and job hours so that the rest of the video can be shot.

Making the logo

I start by using paint stroke effects that I downloaded and created an bunch of colours.

Cut a circle out of it to use as a background.
