Props & Costumes

In our music video we will be using a lot of obvious props that will be an imperative towards making our music video seem like a real live performance. The obvious ones will be stage


Costumes:





We are sticking with the idea of wearing suits in our music video to not only show individuality but to cohere with authentic mid 20th century television performances which were much more formal than they are today.

Props:



We need a microphone to amplify our singers voice as a potential selling point. However we wanted to get a 1950's version but they were too expensive and hard to get our hands on.




A drum kit is needed to fulfill the band members needs to create the fast beat for the song.



A guitar as it is the leading instrument that will create the main sound.



We need a bass to enhance the sound making it more powerful.


Lastly we need an authentic (will cohere with our bands representation of old rock) amplifier device that will AMPLIFY the sounds....

Feedback on Our Idea and how we Overcame It

This video outweighs the things that we purposely added to our video in which our audience didn't understand throughout the research an planning process.

Audience's From The Past

In our music video we would like to insert existing footage of raging fans who adore the live performance that it completely triggers their emotions. Our main inspiration is the Beatles who were famously known for their raging fans who were so loud that the artists couldn't hear their music. Here is an example....



Clearly the fans are mentally obsessed with The Beatles in which they violently react to their presence.  We would like to re-create this but with real life footage from The Beatles to add to the parody of the music video in which we are humorously presenting the modern music with the old setting. During the 60's they named the fan frenzy 'BEATLEMANIA' as they had an immediate connection with the band so there would be no Beatles without BEATLEMANIA as it was great publicity. Our music video will hopefully include this connection between the fans and artist. Unlike synthetic artists we aren't trying to build up a strong solid star image that we will keep to, we would rather look like the Arctic Monkeys back in 2005 who connected with their audience by looking like ordinary boys. However as this video is inspired by the 1950's we need to have fans that match the era, so to cohere with the parody we have decided to use The Beatles fans as an inspiration.

A Quick Change To Our Album Cover

We presented our album cover to the class as we wanted feedback from our completed album cover. Everyone seemed to like the cover especially the 'Walls' logo as one said, 'it looks original and makes the band seem organic and approachable'. However, they thought the back cover needed tweaking as the song names were in a strange order ending at 7 then the next column going to 11. Therefore we changed it to make it 6x6. Also they thought that the inside cover photo should take up most of the space to give a better look of the band. Lastly the text at the bottom seemed too conversational so I tweaked it by changing it to... 'with thanks to toe rag studios, domino and beggars group for the recording and production of this album'. It sounds more professional. So here is our final album cover....
