Band Website - Alex

The purpose of this post is to illustrate our creation into our band's own website, as website building is usually very expensive and complicated to produce we decided to use the free website builder 'Wix' which is great. Wix was the perfect web builder for us because we wanted to create the most professional/ amateur band company with no budget; but also this website builder is easy to follow and simple so that even students like us can create a high standard and professional looking website. We decided to include the modern/ high quality images of American cities and buildings so play on the juxtaposition and contrast from the retro atmosphere that we incorporated into our music video, the modern-looking website helps our band expose and gain publicity for our target audience and it is easily accessible for the intended audience to view our media due to technology evolving.  




As we are only making this band for our A2 Media Studies coursework some of the widgets and apps may not work as more work that may cost money into investing into our project so we decided to leave some of the applications on the website so that the website still looks presentable and professional overall.


As our video will become copy-written on YouTube we chose to upload our final music video on the website so that anyone can view our creation for free and also the website is mobile friendly thus making the website easily accessible to our peers.




We also linked our blogger website onto the band website so that more people can observe the production and behind the scenes in us creating the band and it's image. The positives in using the website builder 'Wix' is that it is free and easy to use, however there are a few limitations that hinder our work. For example as I uploaded our final product (music video) the website informed us after 2 days of uploading the video; that we have used our monthly bandwidth has been exceeded so that we can't upload the video again. This has became a problem for our group music video as we can not upload the video on any media player website such as YouTube as the music of 'The Bee-gees' is copy-written due to the music company and record company not replying to our email; we was informed to carry on as usual and to polish the music video.

Prop List - Sam

70's style pop costumes - Sam and Alex. Car - Sam. Afro wigs - Sam and Alex. Disco glasses - Sam and Alex. Fake moustaches - Sam and Alex. Makeup - Sam's sister. The list above is the prop list which shows what we will need to complete our music video. It also tells us who is responsible for getting these items, without it we could easily lose track of what we need and forget some important items. This post will be gradually and consistently updated with new props that may be added in the production of our music video, but also who in our group is responsible for getting and acquiring the props.

Questionnaire - Sam

We have created this questionnaire to help us to understand what kind of target audience we are looking to attract with our music video. Judging by the song choices we have made we will be attracting older people however, this questionnaire will help us to find out if that is true. It will help to get an idea of how well our concept will be received. We will distribute this to 20 people to gain further feedback and we will create a series of charts and analyse the data to assist with the making of our video.

Filming/editing inspiration - Alex

As we enjoy the style of the 1970's Cop Shows we correlated and collected that bright and vibrant colours with an interesting narrative is appealing towards our target audience. We believe that the styles of both the Beegee's and 1970's cop shows correspond with each other whilst linking with the final product that we want to create. The editing aspect of our intentions is very easy such as introducing the characters with their names; we can easily use the software Sony Vegas to edit on a text box on the top layer of the video. Moreover we will apply filters and adjustments that will overlay our video as we want to create the vintage/old looking design such as the TV show 'Chips'.
