Final Cut

Origional Record Label

Our logo is hand drawn and then coloured on photoshop. We decided to use the image of a skull and fire as we thought that it tied in well with our genre (rock music - particularly metal - often has dark and hell-like imagery). We also included the image of an old fashioned record which is an iconic symbol, relevant to music and also gives the image a more unique effect.

We chose the name 'Monstar' for our record label because we thought that it fit very well with our genre and the use of the pun ('Star' instead of 'Ster') gives the name a more humourous, unique effect. Instead of having a letter 'A' we used a pentagram symbol which is frequently used in the rock genre, due to it's dark and occult connotations.

Rough Cut Two

This is our second rough cut, which is one minute and thirty seconds long. Our video is still in the process of being edited, but we have made quite a lot of process since our first rough cut, and are working hard towards our deadline. The video runs smoothly and  has no gaps, due to the extra footage that we have filmed, and the better quality of some of the parts that we have re-filmed.

Group Photo Analysis

        B                                    

A








Above are two of the photo's taken during the group photo shoot, we took a total of twenty images and for various reasons we chose these two as the best ones.

We chose A as it contains all three band members in similar poses and shows a unity among them. the good thing about A is that it relates to the genre in that the majority of the band members have long hair a typical 'rocker' look. By having the instruments in view of the camera is also common in photo's of glam rock bands. By having just the one guitar in full view of the camera we link it to a photo of The Darkness. We placed Will in the middle as he is the shortest and if we placed him on the outside it would throw the image of balance, by having those of similar taller height on the outside it centers the focus.

We chose image B as it was not as serious or posed it was more fun and relaxing, it showed the band members having a 'fight' which is common among rock groups and we played n this to create an image for an advert. The downside of this is that they are posed to far away from the camera. If the image was more of a close up it would have been the better image as it seems to be something you would see on an advert.
