Initial Brainstorming

To help us create some ideas the whole cl\ass listened to each others tracks and wrote down what we imagined or would be effective in our music video. Many people in our class and beyond suggested a couple within the video. I think this is due to the lyrics,sung by a woman they reflect how she will not forgive the man she is with for what he has done. Many people had images of the couple arguing. Overall it was clear our video needed a narrative within it. We toyed with some ideas as to what the situation could entail. Cheating? Abuse? Maybe he is a soldier going off to war? Due to the sound of the drumming at the beginning many people had suggested the heme of war within our video. We eventually settled on the idea of domestic abuse yet we have chosen to portray it subtly as opposed to brutally so our video would be able to be shown on TV which seems to be a main platform where much of our audience would access music videos. Many people sad they imagined the band in an open location like over looking a city and some suggested they play at a concert. But all seemed to think that a performance element was important within the rock genre which certainly fits in with Goodwin's theory. Some creative ideas were discarded due to their almost impossible nature or it was not a path the majority seemed keen on pursuing.

Audience Research

Our audience research gave us lots to think about in regad to our music video.

0 videos- 3/10
1-2 videos- 5/10

Band merchandise 6/10
Adverts for music 4/10
Other: Screensavers/posters to buy of the artists

Out of these album covers which appeals to you the most and why?




The first album cover had three votes, the middle none and the last was the most popular with seven votes.
Some of the reasons given for picking the last option were:

• The art on it relates to the title
• I dislike the other two as one is too complex and one is too simple.
• It's more artistic
• The image appeals to me the most
• It is interesting, different and eyecatching

The reasons people picked the first option are

• It looks darker and so applies to the genre
• It is the most interesting as it has the most detail
• Obviously done by a talented artist

Since our location was planned to be a house in an urban area this certainly agrees with the data. We are better off if we were to advertise the track to do it on TV or online as there seems to be more activity there. Perhaps if we get a USP it would become viral as through a friend was a comon way of hearing about music. There is going to be a narrative in our video along with performance elements because we feel talent is important in this genre. The questions on websites and album covers I feel have given us a further idea into how our advertising could be composed.
