Proposal

We have chosen to a package for a release of an album and to include a music promotion video. The reason for our group to choose this was because it looked the most interesting out of the five packages’ that were available to do. Also we found out that we all are into the music industry and have different music backgrounds that will help us throughout the task. We felt that we would be able to get the best out of this package because the other tasks we weren’t as keen on.

Preproduction has helped us before starting the production because it has enabled us to have an outlook at present bands that have there own music promotion videos and how they have made them. We also looked into current music MySpace pages looking into how they created them and what they had included. Also looking into how colours and text can help in presentation.

As well has this we have also looked into gig posters that bands have had made for them to help promote their tours. We looked into how they had laid the poster out and what they had included.

We intend to go to a well known band in Portsmouth and create a music promotion video for the band, using different camera skills and angles to create this. As well as this we will also be interviewing the band co coincide with the live footage we produce. We will also interview a number of fans and get their point of views and opinions ECT. Once this has all been produced we will convert the footage onto a apple Mac and edit the video to a standard that we are all happy with.

Along side this photo shoot will be taken of the band for the magazine advertisement and the cover for the DVD. These photos could include portrait shots and capturing the band playing live at a gig.

The style of the band that we have chosen for the pre production is a mix between indie and rock. We found this a point of interest and found it very accessible to analyze other bands like this. The style of filming that we are going to use we have adopted from other music production videos as we found this most effective as they have really captured the band and the live moment with the fans.

The band that we have chosen for our production is Guilded Youth, The location for out filming for the live footage will be at one of there live gigs in Portsmouth/ the surrounding aria. As well as this we will have to arrange locations for photo shoots. We will take a variety of photos so that we have a wide range to choose from for are magazine and DVD cover.

We are planning to go to a gig and arrange a quick interview with the band before the gig to get some information into them. Then we also plan on getting photos and interviews with various fans. Throughout the gig we will be capturing footage of the band. Then after the gig we plan on getting interviews with certain fans getting there views on the gig and the band.
