Location CD cover/Poster

For the location of my CD cover and poster, i will need to consider a range of locations, so that i can create good quality products. Furthermore, i have made a powerpoint, which is for the location of picture for the CD Cover and poster. The pictures used within the powerpoints i have not taken myself, but i am using them to give me a better idea of the places. When i have decided on a place i will use my own photos to create my products. I will create a powerpoint closer to the time, to help me to decide about where to shoot for my music video.

Length of video

The minimum required length of video is two minutes. The song i have chosen to use within the music video exceeds this required time limit. I am hoping to get between 3 - 4 minutes of music video using a range of shots and techniques.

Target audience?

I gave a sample demo of a recording to 10 people. The 10 people i gave them out to range in age and tastes of music. The majority of responses i got was good and the quality of recording was also to a good standard. However some said that they wouldn't listen to this genre of music in their own time. This suggests that my target audience does not involve heavy metal fans, or classical music fans. In contrast, the majority of the 10 i showed the demo to, said they liked it and would listen to it in their spare time. These people are mainly into rock genres of music which leads me to believe i will aim my product towards a teen rock audience. The age range that i will specifically aim my product at will be between, 13 - 20.

How to record?

I have recently come into contact with a recording programme known as cool edit pro 2.1. This programme allows me to plug the computer into a mixing desk, which then allows me to record sound either direct or through microphones. For the music on my music video i will be recording it myself using a recording programme and a mixing desk. The quality of the sound will depend upon many things. For example; the echo in the room you are recording in, might echo onto the recording. In addition i will need to take alot of time into getting the recordings to a good quality.

Astroclash

The music that will be played in the music video will be something of my own material. The name of our two man duo is Astroclash, which i think is catchy and suits well with our genre of music. We have been together for only a small amount of time but we have a range of different songs we have written ourselfs. The music video and recording will help to promote the band aswell as the album cover and poster. Which could even been used in later situations.

We asked a group of 20 random people off the street what they thought about this band name.

This is table to show the results:

As you can see from the chart, the majority of people asked said yes they like the band name astroclash.

This has helped us to decide that now the official band name due to good feedback will be called astroclash.

Oasis Album Cover

This is one of many of the famous band oasis album covers.

The album cover shows the band sitting around in what looks like a living room of a house. This album cover is simple but effective but it shows a famous band doing normal everyday life things for a start up band looking to get into the music industry. I think this album cover will inspire bands and give them a better understanding of what the music business is like.

Oasis poster

This is one of my favourite posters i have looked at so far. The use of colour blends well and is bright to caption the attention of the audience. The font used in the oasis is eye catching and clear to see. This is good because it has the chance to attract a larger audience. In addition, the information on the poster is in a large bold font in comparison to the majority of others i have looked at. I will take into consideration the colour scheme and the use of fonts into consideration when im going to make my own. This is my personal favourite poster i have looked at so far and the design which could fit into my own work.
