Today, Me and my partner Abbas presented our pitch for the innovation of our music video. We have finally made up the decision of pursuing a cover of "We are the champions" by Queen. We have asked a band in Year 12 for their permission to record them singing this song. They have agreed and they are happy to be filmed as part of our music video. We were on edge of choosing "We are the champions" or "We will rock you" but when we asked the year 12's they were strongly forward with recording "We are the champions" as they are already well familiar with the song. At the moment we are strongly forward into using the contrast of black & white to portray an edgy and rock look for the band. We are thinking shooting most of our music video in black and white followed by the digipak and magazine advertisement being the contrast of black of white maybe with a few hints of colour and use of special effects. We have decided on a name for our band which will be as follows; ASTOUND which actually refers to rock. Our logo will be extremely large which will stand out on both the digipak and magazine advertisement hopefully drawing the public's attention. We really like the name as it is original and stands for rock which is the genre our band portrays. For our music video, we want to create a storyline so the viewers engage and sympathise with our video. We have thought about using a few actors and making each of them act out apart of life where they did not succeed but then eventually ended up victorious. For example, someone perhaps not getting good exam results but then by the end of it working hard and obtaining a good grade. We haven't made a definite choice yet though but the storyline will be clearly thought through in more time. All we know is that we want the lyrics to related to the video and how we are the champions lyrics relate to individuals achieving something in life so the audience can engage and sympathise with the characters. We intend to develop a clear throughout story by the end of half term. However we could face many problems such as not actually knowing what we want to do because we do change our minds freuqnetly, also we may find it difficult when using Photoshop and the editing software again. However, we will try our best to try and work our way round them to achieve out outcome of creating a superior, music video, magazine advertisement and digipak.
