band official websitee...

... http://www.theprodigy.com/ 

this is the official website that i looked at to get some ideas towards the group and to see what kind of things this band does to show there indentity and to show what there about. on this website i looked at all there different music videos that they have created to go with there songs and also in there online gallery to see what gigs and band shoots they have done in the past and also on what they plan to do in the future. 

studio photoshoot ...

... these are the images that i took of patch in my group so i could get used to taking images of other people and get used to using the equipment in the studio. 





This is one of my favourite images because the lighting is just perfect and i love the pose that is being made. all in all i think it is a great image. to create the background we used two waffle lights to shine on to the white background to make it vibrate white, without them the background would be gray. the props used in this portrait was the roses and they weren't intinal, we just did it for a laugh and then the images turned out pretty well. i never asked for this certain pose to be pulled, it just happened and my model patch knew what to do to create a great look. i really do like this pose, the reason being is it's a street like look and then the roses just makes him look dead sweet. 

group photos...

... while using the studio we also had a chance to take some group photos. The reason on why i have decided to upload them to my blog is so that you can see who is working on this project as a group :)

the girlies of the group :) 

THE WHOLE GROUP ! 

studio photoshoot ...

... as part as the assignment we had to go onto the studio and take portrait images of each other and the ones in this post have to be my favourite :)

These images were taken by miss heather summerfield :) 

The idea of this task was to get us used to taken images of each other and also to get used to using the studio and to also make us more confident. i think these photos really bring out my personality and who i am :) 

beginning of video...

... this is the first part of the video that we created on imovie and added the soundtrack in as well to the background.

light drawings...

...to help with the stop motion light drawings i looked at a video on youtube called PIKA PIKA 2OO7 which is a short movie which was created from a lighting doodle project called OCHKA! the reason on why we decided to have a look at this movie was to try and get some ideas from it as they have so much stuff crammed into it that there must have been something we could try and conjur up... this is the link for the movie anyway... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMpJ3JHJocY ... here are a few other movies i looked up at as well to help me ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3I5DsXATe9s&feature=related ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qljAEkbjMoY&feature=related.

2O.1O.1O...

...today we went into the darkroom to start taking the images for our stop motions for our start of the band video. first of all we had to grab a canon EOS 4OOD camera and also a tripod for the camera to sit on otherwise the image won't take. The settings that we put the camera on were BULB and then 16s which would be how long the aperature would be open for. we would press the button down and then do the drawing and then stop when the picture was taken :) here are a few which were taken which turned out pretty well and that i really do like :). the reasons on why i like these images is how the silhouettes are really clear and really stand out in the colours  and also how strong the colours are. i really think these type of images really can show someones expressions if you get it right.

album cover...

... this album cover is what i made from a task that we was given, which was to go onto wikipedia and go onto random article and then the name of the article would be the name of the band, then go onto wikiquotes and again click on random quote and use the last 4 words from the article and then last of all go onto flickr click on last 7 days and then the 3rd image in is the one i had to use for my album cover and then when put together that would be my album cover.

the prodigy...

... this is the link that i found from the internet which is the prodigy's actual website, i used this website to help decide on the song choice and also on what to do for our main song video..... http://www.theprodigy.com/index.php

band ideas...

... In our group we have decided that the band we have chosen is the prodigy and the song that we have chosen is voodoo people. 

For the first part of the song i think we have decided to be running through a town or either a street in the dark and then the last part will be done in the studio where we will all be in black and we will be using glow sticks and glow in the dark paint to dance with and create a great atmosphere which will also suite the song. Weither that will change i have nooo idea because i don't think it's final.

There will also be some shadows involved in the video to make the effects lot better and to give it a better feel to go with the song :) 

I do think there will also be some miming going on in the song even though there aren't many words but with the words there are there will be miming and youu will only see from below there nose and no higher to give it that kind of secercy.

the task in hand...

...is to produce the branding, advertising and marketing material for a band of any musical genre of my choice. I must produce a website, promo video, album cover, logos, photographs and many many more things.This will include graphis design and photography that can form the basics of my advertising and marketing. I will have research on the artist i have chosen on to help me along with this task.
