Album Artwork

This image uses the different parts if faces to make one face, this shows the unknown identity that the band is trying portray in the song and fits with the theme that is presented in the video that we have produced.

This image uses two people, either men or women (hasn't been decided yet) looking into a reflected surface, as if they are unsure as to what they are like, they are unsure about their personality, once again presenting the unknown identity of the song that has been used.

Band Names

The ability to think of a band name is something that I think is a lot more difficult than anyone first had thought, it was difficult to think of a name which presented the catchy name intertwined with the type of band that the song that we have chosen. There are a few names that I have thought about which I am playing around with:

1. The Wannabe's
2. Idewannas
3. Identity Wannabe's 
4. Unknown Wannabe's

Website Practice

As part of the research into what websites look like for bands I thought that it'd be helpful if I learnt how to use the software that I'd be using when making my own. I set up my own website with the use of images and wrote what I'd be writing and posting on each page. This gave me the ideas on how to use certain tools and when I looked at other websites it gave me ideas to what should be on my website.  I have posted the link of my practice website so that I have something to use as a guide when it need to make the real website, this is also useful to other people who wonder what is included in a website for a band. http://amylou27.wix.com/websitepractice

Website Research

An article which was published in 2006 reviewed the ways in which people read the information that they are given on a website. This article uncovered that people read the information in the shape of an 'F'. It is said that people take in the information in a more effective way by using the shape of an 'F' to guide the audience to the information.

This is an example of Beyonces website, this is the way that people would view the information, seeing the main image that is meant to show obviously who's website you are on, the information that you need to know and then the rest of the information tha is on the website

Editing

The filming at the moment has been paused due to the exam period effecting all members of the group, this also includes the cast being included in the exam process. This has had an effect on our filming, however it means that we are able to edit what we have so far, this pause in filming has allowed us t be able to take the time in editing shots and seeing how we can use the edits in a complex way but still letting it look professional. Even though we were able to start the editing and decide how we were going to make our editing as good as we could we were not able to have final pieces of editing as there is still things that need to be shot. During the lessons that we've had we have been able to talk about the things that we are editing, all using the computer and all being able to have a say in the things that we need to still film. We are all thinking about the ways we are going to present the different eras in the best way using the footage and the editing resources that we have.

Labrinth Album Artwork

Labrinths album cover is that of the very modern, CGI inspired cover. It uses what is seen as a futuristic  image of Labrinth with his head sort of 'floating' on the front of the cover, this is useful for the audience to realise that it is his album so that he and the album are easily recognisable. The name of the album is written underneath his name, which allows it to be seen easily allowing everybody to know what they are buying. The name 'Electronic Earth' fits very well with the colours that are used in the album art, they are all dark colours with the use of blues and dark purple colours, all that are associated with the the electronic 'earth' that the world is becoming as technology is changing. The album name title and also the type of songs that are on the album really fits with the imagery and art that is used.
