campaign social media

For the campaign I have been given the role to set up and run the band's Twitter account so today I set up the Twitter account we came up with the band name and I named the Twitter the sleeves official I gave them a bio saying “we are a indie rock band from England we have just released on new debut album we will know stream now across all platforms”.

here is me setting up the Twitter account:


First of all I had to put end my name my number and the date I was born:

But I had to put in the variation code I got sent through text:\

I then added a profile picture:

Then I made that username:

And then I did there bio:

feedback on digipak desigh

 

I showed my group and also my teacher what I had done in terms of my album artwork design I designed a front cover an inside left cover in inside right cover and also a back cover.

 

when being given feedback on the front cover they said that They liked the font that I had chosen for the bad name but for the song name they wanted it to be placed somewhere different on The front cover also as a band. on my there is only the guitarist and they suggested because it is a band that they should either have the lead singer or they should have the entire band on the front or something that symbolises the entire band. Because we haven't done a photo shoot yet I couldn't get a photo or The band together and I had to use a photo from the shoot which doesn't look like an album artwork. However they really liked the colour scheme and the lighting they said that it worked very well.

In terms of the inside left cover they said that they I really liked the design that I had done they said I eventually worked very well as I used a drum kit as the round part of the CD and because it's using instruments incorporated in the cover is a way to symbolise this. however it was a slightly different colour scheme to the front but they did say that it's not hugely important it just matters that the two inside covers are the same colour scheme and they can be slightly different to the two external covers.

when it came to my right inside cover they also really really liked the design however again it was another photo from the shoot so I would have to do something similar in a different location in a different outfit but they still really really liked it. they like how it was really over exposed and they said if I made everything else a little bit lighter it would really fit into the colour scheme and they would all go really well together.

they said that the back cover looked a lot more like a band than the front cover did and it could possibly work as a front cover. A downside is that I forgot to add the parental advisory and the barcode and also because we haven't really come up with all the names to the songs yet I couldn't add the names in however I still laid it out the same. They also suggested that if I expand the beam of light I could possibly add attract list into that beam of light to make it look more visually pleasing and also more central.

Overall I think that they all really liked it they said that the inside right inside left and the back cover all Went together and that the front was a little bit too dark which I definitely agree with in terms of looking forward into the future I would need to recreate all these photos in a studio instead of straight from the video but this is not a problem because we have a shoot planned for next week where I can change this.

research into social media (guns and roses)

For my research into similar bands artists social medias I have chosen the killers and also guns and roses the killers an indie rock band and guns and roses are more of a rock band they both have recent posts on their social media and they frequently interact with their audiences and come out with campaigns and tours and live shows so I thought they would be perfect to do my social Media Research on them they're also all boy bands lit is the same as our band.


Guns and roses have 2.4 million followers on Instagram and they have 2127 posts they have many different stories about that tour that 2022 told the 2021 tour they have the greatest hits they have a 2020 tour. You can tell by these posts that they keep that audience informed and also up to date as well as it's a place for their fanbase to look back on that recent and future tours.


here is a timeline leading up to their most recent live tour.

shoot day reflection

My shoot the reflection


I felt that on our shoot day we worked extremely well as a team and I am very happy and proud of what we came out with he worked extremely hard all day to come out with the best video we possibly could and I feel like we have achieved this, we made sure that all our shortlists and shooting schedule were printed out ready for us so we were ready to start as soon as possible, For our first set up we had all the band in the same room with no set and we used the black curtains as a backdrop this took very little time to set up so we could quickly get started on the lighting it took us quite a while to get used to lighting and find the states that we felt fit our video well we played around a lot with the colouring and took our time in deciding what would fit best throughout our video we used a lot of heavy strobe lighting and we had to work very hard in making sure that the strobe wasn't coinciding with the shutter speed on the camera otherwise we would see nothing and this is something that I took away from the shoot at learned as I did not know this before. it took us quite a while to get the lighting right but once we had it we are very happy with what we had and we were glad that we spent the time that we did on it.

We then set up the corridor with the door at the end leading into the open space we had to do quite a lot of adjusting on the day as because we spent a lot of time the lighting, we ran out of time to do all of our setups however in the end we felt that this worked better and made more sense in the narrative of the video in this section we use some of the fluorescent tubes as lighting. Do a lot of playing around with the positioning of the cast members to make it look put together, lots of playing around on how we can use the door and we did some really cool shots with the door oh we were very happy with the outcome.

The next part of the shoot was when we went on location, we all drove into Guildford we had pre planned all our locations and so we parked and started straight away we used a single frame camera to take the shots of them in Guildford your single frame camera work to create the effect Of them jumping around and it gave the pre-existing footage a bit of texture I made it look really cool every time we do a sexually stop and look at what we had and if we like what we had we would then carry on the single frame camera work really fit their style let's be careful in Guildford as we were out when it was dark so we had to watch out for cars and other members of the public but we felt that we handled this really well and we got lots of amazing footage, I think because we were outside the band also really able to relax and they were really acting like they were a band this made it a very smooth experience.


In conclusion I think that as agreed we worked very well together we managed to overcome any issues and problems that came along the way and we were able to adapt to anything that didn't quite workout we felt that we were well prepared and well equipped for our shoot day and we also had an amazing time shooting the video and we are very proud of what we have achieved we did have to shoot a little bit a few days later of just the guitarist and lead vocalist as we did run out of time so something that I would improve would be hard management I'm making sure that we are sticking to a strict schedule.
