OMG Moment !!!

Today as we were filming in Bank , we gained fans !!! a man ame up to us and asked if we would like to perform at his gigs , he hosts a gig every Wednesday at the Brixton Clubhouse. We also spoke to an upoming rapper called Zack Squared , who asked Chris if he would film for him and also asked me and Renee if we would like to feature on one of his songs, this is no word of lie  so we must look professional to some extent!!!!  The also said they would follow us on Twitter and our instagram page NME are about to take over the world x

PRODUCTION: Reaching our fans

As well as us having a Youtube Channel, Twitter and Instagram for our facebook, I decided it would be cool to create a cinemagram for our artist - in order to stay on top of all social networking trends.

PRODUCTION: behind the scenes


An example of an edit for a music video




In our filming today I had an idea to have our performers to point out on the screen the lyrics they are saying so we can add them in post production.
The video above gave me the inspiration.

Promotion

Day 1 of filming

From looking at the weather forecast it looks as if it may rain while we need to film. In this case we will need to make sure we have an umbrella to avoid the camera from getting wet.
 

For the filming the equiptment we will need will be:
  • Flip cam - To record behind the scenes footage
  • Camera - To film footage for music video
  • Tripod - For some basetacks to hold the camera in place
  • Still camera - To take photos of the filming process
  • Speakers. To play the song out loud

The Group Our Artist Will Be Singed To......



As the real artists Estelle and Janelle are signed to the same label , we have decided to be under the Warner Music Group , as this will be the best label to promote our artist , as there are quite a few British artist signed to this label e.g Ed Sheeran , Craig David and  Plan B.


Famous Music Duos

Here are some well known musical duos

Brandy and Monica

T- Wayne
The Ting Tings

Wham!

Timbaland & Magoo

Audience Feedback : Do My Thing

I wanted to find out what audiences' thought of the song , so i went on different websites for feedback. Overall i saw the song had gained positive feedback , one even compared the duo to ' Brandy and Monica' , whereas another spoke about hearing it on an american tv show ' Basketball Wives' , which means that there must be a general liking towards the song if it is being played on tv and doesn't have a music video , which is also a great way to promote the artists !

  Majority of the feedback so far is positive there may be more if there was an actual video for the song .

Costume Shopping

On Thursday me and Renee went to Roman Road Market to see whether we can find some things for the music video , as we are working of on a budget i have come up with a list of places that we could buy things from at a cheap and cheerful price !

Portobello Road Market

  • Fonthill Road                       
  • Dalston Market
  • Portobello Road Market
  • Brick Lane Market
  • Chapel Market
  • Spitafields
  • Cameden Lock 


We can also go for some cheap high street shops such as :



  • Primark 
  • Select
  • H&M
  • Bardo  
  • Sports Direct   

Or we could shop online , or go on websites such as Ebay and Amazon to buy things at a really cheap price                      

boohoo.com

After what i saw at the tube station , i went on the actual website to see what the promotion was about  i typed in ' geek chic' in the search engine and 39 results were found it shows me that this type of fashion is becoming more recognizable on our streets !


Meaning that this could really help with our audience , brand image and promotion as boohoo.com is a well known website!
