This year's project...

So, for this year, the project I have chose to do is Choice One, which is a music promo video, with the two ancillary products of a magazine review ad digipack cover.

Over the course of the holidays I thought about it quite a it, and whereas I know the baselines of what I want to do, it is hard to explain, over the course of the year my idea's should be come more clear and lead to a good finished product.

I doe a breif presentation to give a basic overveiw of what I am  wanting to create.
These are the notes I used. They are also the collection of thoughts that went on during the holidays.
(Note: these may not make much sense, and are very basic.)

Media Presentation Prep.

Package will consist of: Main Product = Music Promo Video

Ancillary Products: Cover/artwork for digipack, Magazine advertisement

Artist – Sam High (Aka Me, I have chosen this as, not only is music a passion and strength, but that it will also bypass possible copyright issues of using another artist and their material)

Album – Cityscapes?? (TBD)

Music promo video will consists of two 20-30 second clips of music video to promote singles, and then end with a 10 second round up of the advertisement.

Possible Song Choices: If you decide to fall, Brief encounter (does not need to be recorded) Call her up, what love could be, caught off guard.

Concept one: Set in coffee shop, a boy and a girl interested in each other, who slowly come together and through circumstances manage to talk to each other and meet up. Begin by being separate and always bumping into each to other, but both very shy. – Song = Caught off guard.

Concept two:  break up, guy walks alone on street, narrating/singing the story/song.  Footage of couple together, showing story. Use of black and white

Concept 3: set in city at night, secret love affair. Couple alone in room, or meeting under streetlights. Very scenic shots. Possibly noir themed, suits, classy etc. song – Lights

Likely Target audience: Teenagers/young adults, aged 14-30. School/college students. This is due to music genre (acoustic pop rock) and its influence (Taylor swift, john mayer – evidence = link promo’s to blog)

Product relation/support – magazine advertisement and promo video will help to sell the album. The artwork cover will be eye catching and attractive to further entise.

Routes for exhibition – sell in small record stores, at live gigs/events, coffee shops, possibly market through social networking.

Time-management:

October – finalise ideas, record songs.

November – storyboard, find actors, start designing cover

December/January – film, finish cover, start on magazine advertisement

February – finish advertisement
