Our Digipak ideas

An idea for the frontpage of our digipak is the 3 band members each with either a head, torso or legs of a beast, this will have midnight background to mirror the name of the band, the midnight beast. This is based on the idea of the 'Misfits' game cover. 

Filming the band scene

We filmed our band scene in the drama room of our school, the room has lighting effects which we used to great effect in our filming. We filmed from 4 different angles, one shot of the whole band, and one of each band member close up.

Ideas

I have had an idea to use boxes in the band scene of our video. Whilst we are performing the boxes will be at the side of us each with every letter 'BOOTY' on separate boxes. But after we have filmed the whole song a few times, we will move the boxes around for the chorus and cut in and out of the boxes moving, whilst we are standing still, so it looks as if the boxes are moving all around us. So I went to a stationary shop and bought 2 packets of coloured flat pack boxes and we stuck 'B' 'OO' 'T' and 'Y' onto each box. We are yet to film our band scene yet

Filming part 2

The second part of our filming took place in a boys bedroom, this part took longer as it will make up a larger part of the video, so we done 4 takes of the whole song lip synced, from 2 different angles, and also done small parts that are not lip synced which just describe what was going on at that exact moment in the song. We have tried to implement a lot of humour into our video and thought a lot about that whilst filming,  this is because the band who's song we are making a video to, the midnight beast, also try to make their videos humorous. We are also conforming to the genre as we are lip syncing the track. All filming was captured and we are currently editing the footage.

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
