Filming part 1

We have filmed 2 parts of our video so far, the first being in a girls bedroom with three girls, well two girls and one boy dressed as a girl. We thought it would add comedic effect if two of the girl characters were played by males, poorly dressed as women, with one woman alongside them. But once in costume one of the males felt too embarrassed and was giving an awful performance, so he was released and we brought in an actual female. So the end result was one male character in what can only be described as dreadful drag and the other two girls dressed as they would to a sleepover. The part of the music video is about 3 girls that ring the 3 main male characters as a 'booty call' so we had to act flirtatious whilst on the phone. We got all of the footage and we are currently editing it.

Target Audience - Survey Monkey Results

These results tell us our target audience is people between the ages of 16-24 of any gender, that our target audience likes fun and energetic videos and thatour target audience enjoys indie and r'n'b music. This means we will make our video to fulfill the needs of our target audience without trying to comprimise the feelings of the song and the vibe that the band were trying to get across

 As there is 6 sides we thought 3 could be taken up by the 3 individual band members with mug shots like they are going to prison. This would be funny and show each band members individual character. We thought the back could be a track list, like in most other digipaks but there being a difference in which the 3 band member s are holding card with the track list on. We thought the front page could be the 3 of us, but with our heads on different bodies, of beasts like werewolves, i.e the midnight 'beast'. The final side we thought we could have a screenshot from our video, to tease the audience into watching our video

Digipak Ideas - Brainstorm

This is the spider diagram we made to display the brainstorm we had on our digipak.We thought we could use the cliche prisoner mug shot to display each individual band member. We thought we would have a track list on the back like in most other digipaks but with a twist as the band would be holding a board with the song list on it. We also thought of doing shots at night with beasts involve to portray the name of the band, 'the midnight beast'. We also thought of using song lyrics in the digipak.

Justification of ideas in relation to genre and artist

We have kept to the music video genre in many ways. One way is the cinematic aspect. We are using fast editing and bright colours. This doesn't just relate to the music video genre as a whole but mirrors most indie pop music videos, which is where we drew most of our inspiration from. We are also using lip-syncing, which is a huge aspect of the music video genre, along with a band with instruments and a lead singer. Our music video relates to the artist as it has a very comedic effect. We tried to implement a lot of humour into our video, which is very much what the midnight beast like to do.
