banner design - 25/11/11

Above is the screenshot of my banner design. i believe that this fits with the conventions of the pop and dance genre eith girlbands. the picture is not of our girlband but it gives an idea of what i want and when looking at the other bands site the main image is under the bands name and i beleive that this fits in well with the conventions. the picture that i am going to put in once we have a picture of the band is going to be less sexualised and more clothing.

Storyboarding

Lyric/scene planning

this video is a test run as we would like to use this affect in when creating our music video. this clip is the test run for the scene where the girl looks into the mirror and sees herself however she is looking completely different as in real life she is wearing makeup and in th mirror she will be dressed as a goth. we tested this clip first to see if it was possible to get the shot right and how to go about filming it. we first set up the tripod so that it will be in the same position throughout the scene. i then stood looking into the mirror and then armani also looked into the miror. we then imported the two clips in to the final cut and cropped the clips so that only half the image was being shown. therefore you can see that the person looking in the mirror is someone else which proves that this shot is possible and quite simple to edit.

Logo Designing on Gimp - 18/11/11

In lesson today we were asked to start designing our logos for our website. We first had a discussion of which would be a good idea and we all came up with different ideas. In gimp i first got my main image which is the earth with the hands around it. Then i got my name logo which is pure orbit. i chose the font because it looks like a clubbing sign and it is quite appealing and looks good. However i beleive that it looks to business like and may look like part of business company so i have to lok into it somemore and will probably have to change it as when i did more research most girl bands logos on there website are just there names therefore if i stick with the conventions of just the name as my logo it can be more effective and people will then know straight away when they go on the site it is a girl band.

Storyboard planning - 16/11/11

Today in lesson our group were storyboarding and trying to come up with ideas to go with the lyrics. We also started to test out some shots to see if it was possible for example one shot is of the main character looking at herself in one outfit and then in the mirror they are wearing different clothes and we fount out it is possible.

WebsiteDesigns - 11/11/11

 Above is my Website designs. These are not the colours i want my website to be however these are just colours to separate each part of my website. At the top is my Title Banner which is the Band name i Picked this font because i wanted the band to have a cool font and it looks like a nightclub sign which could connote the genre of the band. in the top right hand corner there are hyperlinks of social network sites which link these site to the bands twitter, Facebook and myspace page in order to see more of the bands information and what there up to. Underneath the title banner i want to have a picture of the band so that the audience can see who is in the band.  The menu bar is there so that fans can navigate around the the site easily and look at what the band are up to through photos, videos and news. There are also interactive features so that the fans can have a brief insight and if they want to find out more they will have to then click on the menu bar tabs so that they can find out more about the band. I am going to change the interactive feature twitter as they can find out there twitter by clicking the hyperlinks for social networks and change it to there new album release which will show my digipack. I also need the font of the menu bar tabs and the hyperlinks and interactive feature titles all the same as then it will be consistent throughout.

Above is the Production Company name. I came to this final idea with David whilst looking through images on google. We first thought of the saying "Dog eat Dog world" and then we thought we could change it in a humorous way and whilst looking at images of dogs we found the image of the dog with its mouth wide open looking quite angry and then we thought things that rhymed with dog and had loads of names and then we thought of frog and at first we didn't think it would work however it stuck in the back of your head and its quite good to remember. so we started looking for pictures of frogs and fount this one of the frog leaping and when you look at the final image it made you remember the name and its quite weird and fun.
