Final Album Cover Design

Possible Album Cover

Playing arounds on Photoshop I made this album cover. I think the red works really well and the blue and white text really stands out without being too dominating. I have also incorporated the 'key' image from our video but altered it so it appears different.

Possible images and edits for album cover or inlay etc

Nightvision effect and more

So lads, i know that Liam had a good idea about shooting in nightvision and cuttin itop it or in between. I've been playing in Afeter FX again and think we could do it in post possibly. I've also done some colouisation effects to some more footage from prison break. It can make it look more cinematic, and possibly more proffessional. Have a look at my blog, and see what you think of it. It's definitely worth experimenting with some of them with our footage in my opinion.

Flash Effects for the Video.

So guys as we want to create white flashes etc in the video, i have done some research and played around with After Effects. We could do a number of effects that would look good. I've uploaded a video to my blog testing them with some footage from prison break. Have a look and comment on the ones you like.

Editing

Just thought i would let the group now that i have captured all of our footage from thursday, and that there is now a performance bed put down in our project.

Max

performance shoot on sunday

here is my room, we shud be ble to take the stuff out, it wud take a bit of time though and it could work as the blank canvas wqe are looking for.

i thin it could be easier to shoot in as its a bit bigger than matts room.

Hae a look at the pics and see what you think....


Max

Style of Music Video

Yh i was thinking of the same sort of colour saturation and effects guys. Thinking that it may work well if we do a 'Sin City' style effect in our destaurated performance shots on Liams tshirt, if he is wearing red . It could connote themes of the song to the audience and the video of anger and his anxt/revenge.

Would also help differentiate it in style a bit more.

Max

Costume

Lads check my blog for an idea of what Liam can wear to enhance the physco image. It's some Tattoo sleeves i've got which could work, and they look real on camera as iv tested them before .
Max

Possible Scenarios for the Final Idea

Here are a few possible ideas for suppossedly masculine activities:

1) Playing football in the park and a celebration is slightly too friendly/Drinking in pub watching a game (lads at the table the central protagonist eyeing up his 'friend')/Pub toilet of one his mates and the central protagonist are using the cubicles, when the main artist looks at his friend in a suggestive manner
2) If we are to imitate the video of the Kate Perry song, then perhaps it would be worth parodying the opening, where the camera focuses on various parts of Kate Perry's body (like a tilt up her legs). Instead we would focus on the male alternatives (biceps, six packs etc)
3) When Liam is singing in his room, around him his crew could be lifting weights aswell as doing other things such as hitting a punchbag, (slow motion)
4) 30seconds opening, central character gets message off girlfriend (via answerphoe/note on fridge that shes left him). He then smashes up the answerphone or framed photo in a CU Slow Motion shot. This would set up the angry tone to the video

I Kissed A Boy

Yo check it out I’ve got a plan, here’s my intention
The frat boys in the club are lame, let’s start an altercation
It’s just what I’m used to, just want to fuck shit up
I’ve got my whole damn crew, come on what you gonna do

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

Now you don’t even know my name, it doesn’t matter
Don’t even front, you’ve got no game, you’re just a sucker
So what now, I clowned you, and I’m stealing your girl too
She wants a secure dude, and that’s just not you

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

Me and my bros that’s how we roll, you never know how far we’ll go
I’ll grab some chump that I don’t know
And plant one right on him
You’re only here for our amusement

I kissed a boy and they liked it
Got all the honeys in the club excited
I kissed a boy just to start shit
That homeboy was not about it

I know it’s wrong, but I don’t mind
I’m gonna start shit tonight
I kissed a boy just to start shit
They just loved it

Inner City Pressure Idea (perhaps the final?)

Matt + Mike + Max

Flight of the Conchord Ideas

Today we discussed the thought of doing a Flight of the Concords track and this one, Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros.

The idea centred around of smartly dressed businessmen (grey suits, thick glasses, combovers, etc) being approached in an alleyway by a a group of thugs who are set out to mug them. After about 20 seconds of dialogue where the men are threatened, one if them would pull out a ghetto blaster out of their jacket (like a cartoon) and then the other one would press the button cueing the music to begin. After this we would then use a fish eye camera as we try to make a parody of stereotypical rap video. We would play on the lyrics of the song as well as destroying the usual stereotype of businessmen and how they should behave. This idea on reflection may not be suach a good idea after thinking of how it has several similarities with the original, but it has made us sure as a group that we want to focus on comedy.

MIKE & MAX

Treatment!!!!

Band Name - North Circ

Members
Kieron - enrique lookalike
Reece - skinhead, bad boy?
Jamie (RJ) - Beach boy - bleach blonde?

General idea for video-
Waking up late for performance, characters trying to get changed whilst running down the busy streets (markets?) - tracking shots from the side of running, closeups for lipsynching

switching characters as they go past walls (see Roll Deep - When I'm 'Ere)

Grab food and hair products from people and stools and apply them on the way. Throw apple away and have a cutaway of apple in bin (slow mo?) have shots of runing in puddles and sliding over car bonnets.
- throw apple away + step in puddle - slow mo? slide over matt's saxo bonnet deodarant

Audience -
Girls 1st
Young boys - idolisation 1st
Gays - 2nd
Old women 2nd
Parents - good role model for kids 3rd

Girls - they like to read magazines such as the now defunct SmashHits! now probably more into heat and now. Therefore we would do lots of interviews and competitions with these magazines. Appearances on Saturday morning shows on channels like CBBC and CITV.
They will buy lots of merchandise and as they will still be at school we could make pencil cases and accessories such as wristbands and fake tattoos.

OR

Beach!!!!

Brighton - gay icons

Bournemouth - sand
