Plans for CD Cover

I would like the CD cover to have a photo the full band on the front of it. I like the idea of pictures of guitars, drums and bass's to be blended in around them. I looked at a few album covers and picked out covers i really liked.


I like the sepia tone on this album cover.

Risk Assessment

Risk Assessment 1 -

Risk - I am going to be filming in a pub a lot of the time so i will need to be careful that people won't trip over the tripod. I will make sure that i am out the way of everyone so their will be no hazards caused.

Evidence - The first time i ever filmed made sure i filmed at the back of the room behind a table so no one could trip over the camera. The biggest problem was people walking in front of the camera, but i am going to film them at rehearsal so i won't get that problem

Pitch

Ideas:
  • When I first listened to ‘That Blues Band’ I really liked the song ‘Take it Easy’. I immediately thought of really good ideas for the narrative. Since I knew the lead singer I would be able to video them performing and also include a narrative. Peter and the band gave me permission to use his song.
  • My first ideas for the video was two people, one laid back and the other uptight, and various routines going on and one getting really stressed out and the other not caring.
Target Audience:
  • The target audience will range from 15 – 30+. The reason for this is because their music is liked by a range of people. A lot of young people go to their gigs.
Technical Criteria
  • I will maintain a steady shot throughout the video, I might have some hand held shots when i am filming the performance.
  • The lighting will be natural all the way through. I will not be filming at night so i will not need extra lighting so it will be clear on the camera.
  • I will also be doing a range of shots in the video to make the video more interesting instead of repeating shots. I will also be making sure the editing is good so the video fits together nicely.

  • The costumes of both characters will be different so the audience knows what kind of character they are. The busy body will wear glasses and a smart suit. The laid back one will be wearing a suit with his shirt un-tucked and his tie loose.
  • Lip syncing is very important in music videos. In all the shots of the band i will try to lip sync every word, so it fits together nicer.
