Posters that I had designed for the Band featured in my music video

I have recently created and designed these posters fro a local band "The New Scientists" who feature in my music video. The posters were placed up around the city to advertise Upcoming gigs. This allowed me to gain skills in editing and looking into print productions which will come in handy when designing the CD cases for my Music video. I used Digital Programs such as Photoshop and Illustrator, This also helped me to gain new skills in working digitally. The photographers were chosen and taken by the band, this allowed me to gain working with a client skills and knowledge. I personally think these photos worked well as they capture the band in their own natural surroundings, their style is presented through clothing and the natural outdoor environment of the location of where they practise. I feel if I used images of them performing it would create a less personal outcome and an insight to the band, as the audience know that they play live and perform, also that anyone watching can take these photographs. The font and typography styling was inspired by the bands current colour scheme and logo of the black and yellow used. This colour scheme works well as it is vibrant, making the logo and typefaces stand out against the black background. The colour scheme of the logo personally reminds me of the Doc Martin logo, To be this is a clever link as the band Doc martin produce a range of shoes which are associated to the grunge style, which matches the bands genre of music which is phydellic, grunge and indie.

New & improved Initial ideas for performance aspect of the narrative

A narrative device that I plan to use within my music video is “different diegetic planes” this is device comes into my video because of the flashback and memory scenes. Which create two levels of reality (past and present) forming two layers within the music video. The opening of music video features the filming technique of the enigma code as the audience are unaware of where the boy is travelling too, until they realise that he is a part of the band which is performing. The result of the enigma is shown by the help of the symbolic device of the bike which illustrates the method of travel in order to get him to where he needs to be. The Drum sticks symbolise creativity and expression to represent that the character is a drummer. The object also works as the proairectic code, a way to drive the narrative onto the performance .

The result of the enigma is shown by the help of the symbolic device of the drum sticks and the bike, as these symbolise that the boy is a drummer, therefore is likely to be in band that is about to perform. Whilst the bike illustrates the method of travel in order to get him to where he needs to be.
