A Live Performance Leading to a wider Audience
A live performance is traditionally of music before an audience, in which a band gets to sell themselves to the public without the use of immediate technologies and editing software's. It has become one of the main ways that organic and synthetic artists make money. We decided that we wanted our idea to revolve around a live performance as we are selling ourselves as an organic artist which doesn't have a large fan base, but we want to extend our audience to those of the past and the present. We will immediately include elements that will make our video seem part of the 1950's but we will use elements of modern technologies to make it modern and trendy.
As the music industry is very demanding we don't want to make viewers feel as if they are seduced by our video, like a synthetic artist does with their make-up and prodigious effects. We want to familiarize them with every single aspect of our video whether it attracts older or younger people. Also a live performance is the key way to make money in the modern music age, as streaming has lorded over the use of CD's and Itunes Albums. Therefore if we make this video as if it was a live performance then it gives our new audience a hype of what it will be like to see The Walls live. Some examples of bands who have incorporated these ideas are; The Rolling Stones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Beatles, The Hives, Buddy Holly, Kings of Leon and The Arctic Monkeys.
Music Biz Academy states that 'the music business is very fond of contracts and that its business'. This results in money taken from the artist when they put on a show. Traditionally Synthetic and Organic artists experience this, but we would like to sell ourselves as independent and that money isn't our up-most important objective. Therefore our new video will not include the best effects and may include some footage where we aren't filming for the actual video. However many archaisms will be demonstrated as authenticity is one of our main focuses.
DIFFERENT is our main focus. We want to make this video unlike any other video produced in A2 Media Studies. A main narrative will not be included as we feel as it makes us too synthetic and that a live performance will be exciting and will accentuate our band type.

Using discarded footage to create a song preview
We thought that even if we were to use a new idea we would like to of gained something from our first performance element, so I decided to make a teaser video of The Walls in production of a new album, purely to get back into the editing status and add to a promotion campaign which is one of my specialties. We used the black and white and grainy effect to match the fake tales of San Francisco so we can incorporate a sense of authenticity but incorporate organic music with the instruments and the realistic footage used.

New Website
http://deanandalexmusic.wix.com/walls
After showing our teacher the website he told us as feedback that he doesn't think it looks very professional and doesn't like the fact its all on one page, so we made another one. It follows a different colour scheme and thought it would fit in with the rock genre.

Our New Idea
We want to make our band look as if we have a variation of music styles that we appreciate so that we are able to sell ourselves as a band which loves the varieties of music. We will achieve this by creating a music video that will be different to any other type of video made in the course of A2.
Excuse the low volume and timing.

Our Bands Website
http://deanandalexmusic.wix.com/thewalls
We have finished our design for the website in which we made it very simple but very easy to navigate. The color's we used were mainly dark so that we didn't make it too bombarding to which our viewers would run away. We added our tour dates as well as many quotes and notes from each band member. As well as this we wanted to familiarize our fans with us so we added pictures of our rehearsal times so we don't look secretive. We want to connect with our audience by selling ourselves as an organic band with regular young men who do not act large in the social hierarchy within the music industry. For example we didn't believe it was necessary to put our lead singer in the middle of the pictures as we don't want him to be the main focal point rather than the band itself. Enjoy!
