Poster research

Part of the task I will have to research in to poster design because I will have to design a poster of my own that will promote my music video to the target audience.



This first example of poster research is this advert I found in an NME. The over all design of the advert is pretty basic since it only has the album cover with the name but on the right side they have included a quick summery of album reviews and a score which is trying to push album sales. This is a good idea which I am looking to include when I come to developing the music advert for the album.

The album cover itself is also very basic which is probably to suit the style of music that the band plays. I will also have to take this in to consideration due to different genres of bands having a different style of adverts to fit there audience.

Brand New Noro Song Sample

We used this song in our presentation which we are currently not sure if we will include in the final piece because my mate Paul is thinking about remixing tracks giving a better consistency through out the video

Presentation feedback

This is the feedback from the sheets we handed out after giving our pitch to the class on an animation video. If you click on the images you will be able to see what other people in the class thought to our idea of an animation. I picked out the best ones and uploaded them.

These feekback sheets gave us ideas on the story itself like how it could be improved. The initial story was to have the character drink something at night and him being thrown in to another world while feedback from other users has led us to believe that maybe the character walking through a forest would be a better approach.

Also we are thinking about how it would be possible to do the animation. Either just having it a straight animation or having the animations flickering like a sort of book which is different and can also look more effective to the style we are actually after. We would like to thank the people that gave us feekback for this.

Presentation

This is our presentation that we had to do infront of the class to get feedback from our pitch.

Storyboard

This is the storyboard concept that Paul drew to show how the animation would start and finish. Due this being just a proof of concept to start with its subjected to change during the general deveolpment of the video.

We are currently working on a more professional style of the storyboard in more detail to upload at a later date.

The character concepts that we have come up with are shown below. Currenty they are concept art but we are aiming to have these in the finished product

Salad Fingers animation

Salad Fingers animation

This is a really good example on how to do a successful animation. While not being a music video it’s the main animation that we are looking at because we are hoping to execute something similar to this style of animation. Salad Fingers is considered very successful as it attracts millions of watches to see episodes of the popular animation.

The animation itself is pretty simple with only basic movements but is still effective to a degree it keeps the viewer interested.

Since we are doing a music video the story line does not interest us when we are looking at the video but from what I saw while watching the video the story is mostly random.
