1 Minute Music Video

Let Me Dream A While - Passenger



I chose to use this song after watching the original video and thinking that the video did not do the song justice. I felt the song had a very reflective nostalgic feel to it but the original video was very basic and was a mix of exterior shots of a city and then cuts to the artist sat playing guitar. I felt the song needed something more but not too over the top.

To create this video I wrote down the lyrics and wrote what I thought would work for every line of the song, what images came to mind when I heard them. It was through that this video was created and I think what I created works well with the song.

Album CD Cover

All I've Learnt by Beth Newton

For my CD I chose to use Canva as I had never used Photoshop before and found it confusing whereas Canva was something I felt comfortable with. I will look at Photoshop again when I start my main task.

For this CD Cover I knew the kind of colour scheme I was going to use. I chose to use a screenshot from my one minute music video and I thought that the washed out colours gave it a nostalgic feel to it. The same sort of look I had gone for when creating the video.

For the back cover I chose to just use a grey back ground then I used a picture which had the definition of the band's name on and made it transparent so the tack listing could be seen over the top.

Website

Hiraeth - Website

As part of our task we were to use the website Wix to create a website for our band. As I was working on my own and the song I chose for my one minute task was originally sang by a man I wrote on the website that the 'band' don't show their faces in their music video, preferring to us actors so the focus is on the story being told not on them.

 

 

For the homepage of my website I went with a basic theme of having a city landscape picture as a background and white in the foreground. I chose to do this because the band I had created was an acoustic band and I felt as though they wouldn't go for anything over the top and too 'in your face'. I wanted something subtle but pretty. The song I chose for my one minute video was by Passenger so also on my homepage I chose to quote another song by Passenger. 

 

 

 

 

On the website I created a page with the track listing of the band's 'debut' album. I, again, kept this very simple choosing to use the same background image and white box for the text to go in. I thought this made it look neat and professional. 

In the bio about the band I said they were a mix of male and female vocals explaining why the artist singing the song I chose in my practise task was male.
