My Websites and Album cover for each artist

I have constructed a website and an Album cover as a first draft for the music campaign with each artist. As all the genres are very different, it meant I had to take a different approach to each one. 

Artist No. 1: 

Home page: 

Orfom is the name I came up with for the band that perform 99 shades of crazy. This was my first idea and with an idea of what the music video would look like, I had something to work off of when designing my website homepage. I chose the picture because it reflects the style of music they make and wrote a small bio explaining what the band are about. 


Album cover: 

I kept in mind the main themes of the music video and homepage and decided to go out and shoot the cover with a friend that fitted the look I was going for. I went to a field in the evening and shot portraits with him as the "Lead singer". 

After editing a handful of my favourite ones I narrowed it down to the one I thought was the best.
 


I then went into photoshop and edited it into an album cover format with text (title of the album): 



Artist No. 2: 

Home page: 

Unlike my first artist I wanted this homepage to look a bit more slick given that their music is more electronic based. This time I didn't necessarily base the homepage off of my music video idea because the music video doesn't really represent the artists themes as much. Instead I listened to the song and visualised what I thought would fit that.  



Album cover: 

When it came to the album cover I had in mind the abstract, retro kind of feel that I want the music video to have and I used that to construct a photo that would both make sense in relation to the website and music video.



I looked through my library of photos I had previously taken and this one stood out to me the blurred light over his face is quite different and unique and the photo made sense to use so I put it through photoshop and formatted it with text: 



Artist No. 3: 

Home page: 

For this artist I looked at other websites of hip hop artists and used that as something to base mine of off. I used a picture that I took of the person that I want to be the artist in my music video, I then took a quote about hip hop I found and used that. I found this one particularly challenging as it was hard to replicate or take inspiration from other websites because they were all so different. 


Album cover: 

For the album cover I knew that I wanted to make something very abstract so when it came to designing it I was thinking outside the box. This time around, I used as graphic and zoomed in very close to it that you wouldn't be able to see what it actually was:

Analysing sound in a scene from Shutter Island

Image
In this essay I will be analysing the sound in a scene from Shutter Island. Martin Scorsese uses multiple sound techniques in order to show the audience specific themes in this scene and to give them an idea on what to look out for.  The sound pattern in the scene:  Classical music:  Start: Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound -  Contrapuntal, non-diegetic sound  Middle: Parallel, diegetic sound - Parallel, non-diegetic sound, Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound  End: Contrapuntal diegetic sound - Parallel, diegetic sound. As the Teddy and Chuck are showed in to the office of Dr Crawley we start to hear classical music fade in. We then see a high angle shot of the building as the music gets louder transitioning into the indoors scene. From this we can assume it was used as a sound bridge to keep the scene flowing and catch the audiences attention as the scene progresses. After some dialogu...

Similar Products - Mura Masa - What If I Go? (Music Video)

The 'What if I go?' music video shares many of the same aspects that we aim to have for our music video and we have partially shaped our music video concept from this. The idea of youth culture in London is something that I feel is important and get's mis-interpreted a lot of time. This video breaks away from this and the viewers get an insight of what it's really like to be a part of the London youth culture. It also explores young love with the flirtatious couples in the video. The video has a very raw, gritty feel to it. It doesn't seem set up and has a genuine feel to it. This combined with the way the video has been shot and the aesthetics each shot leaves the viewers with a very clear and accurate idea of what the London youth is about. It's clear that the outfits that the people are wearing are clothes they wear everyday and haven't been asked to wear something that they feel uncomfortable in. It's also very clear that they are comfortable...

Finding our concept - Idea 2

Image
At first we decided to use t a combination of ideas for our 2nd concept however since then we have coe up with something completely  different to our last idea. This is what we had came up with before, heres a brief description  Aidan had wrote on his blog. "After combining our two previous ideas into one, we were now left wi a large gap to fill. This was a whole second idea we had to come up with and further develop. We took a lot more time thinking about this idea and making it different enough from the first one. However in the end we had decided on a final idea. Our second idea would incorporate my silhouette idea, and Mima’s animation idea. It would be a much more simple idea as it would involve only a rapper in the studio. He would be on a green screen that we would turn white or possibly just a white background and be rapping and dancing etc. Similarly to Bruno Mars’ music video of “That’s what I like” small animations would be around him or on him. Possibly ...
