In order to create a strong sense of branding I aim to include images from separate band photoshoots, behind-the-scenes music video images and general band-related images, i.e. typical live performance shots and merchandise. Given that I could not emulate a live performance for the 'band', I used images from concerts I have been to as well as copyright-free images within the instagram feed to create a sense of the band being very established and genuine. As present with many modern pop bands, I also posted edited memes, tailored as promotion for the band's work. This included editing the iconic image of the album Chandler Bing is holding as well as the song Old Man Jenkins is listening to in an episode of Spongebob Squarepants. Lastly, I used stills from the music video, especially those of the Grady Twins as they were a unique visual within the music video and it creates synergy between all of the media products involved in my coursework. Here I have compiled the image...

Throughout the process of making this music video, I had to confront various issues with producing and editing, however, I took steps to resolve these. The first section I chose to film was one which included the majority of characters within the same location out of convenience of their time, conscious that their support for my coursework needed to be efficient and not interfering with their free time. As a form of payment for their help with my own limited finances, I compensated each actor throughout the music video with free travel fare and a McDonald's lunch. (Insert Lunch Image) Some sections of the music video required re-shooting, unfortunately, due to the bad quality of the camera I had bought; the first re-shoot was of the 'Grady Twins'. What was originally filmed in a university students' house in Brighton was later re-filmed in an eerie, rural area in combination with a local park. By choosing to use a phone to film, the outcome appeared much better qu...

The band formed when the singer/songwriter Theo Hudson met guitarist Cara Taylor at a local concert. Fuelled by a mutual passion for pop style, the two, along with drummer Eve Harrison began recording original material in Theo's basement-turned-home studio. It quickly became clear to the trio that they wer...

After experimenting initially with a blank page to explore different techniques and effects which I could potentially include in the actual band website, I decided to use a recommended pre-existing template. I was drawn to this template as, although marketed towards "comedians, actors and entertainment professionals", I recognised the bold and vivacious colour scheme as being similar to the aesthetic of pop-band 'Two Door Cinema Club'. Using this template, I first made some design alterations; I changed the initial salmon-pink homepage to a dark background. Because I intended to use white typography, it was appropriate to use black in order to ensure a high-contrast between the foreground and background content for readability purposes. In reference to research on the targeted audience, I discovered that darker, more sophisticated colour palettes appeal to teenagers, which is why I made this aesthetic decision. Because at the time I was unsure of which i...
