Rough Cut 2: Follow You

This is the 2nd rough cut of Follow You. It is still not a full cut.

KO: DIGIPAK: Update inside cover: Follow You

Having discuss and though a bit more about the digipack we have decided to not use the picture of the guy looking at the sun as the back cover but instead have it as the inside cover going over both pages.

Doing this gives us the opportunity to edit other images inside the bricks and also have word be slanted following the wall.

Podcast 11

SR

Script: 

Hey all, this is our 11^th weekly podcast, this week we have focused mainly on working on our website, digipack and our social media. Kristian and I focused on the website. We put up the merchandise that Bronwen created and I created texts for the band bibliography and the introduction of the website. Furthermore, Bronwen finished creating the band logo, which we intend to put up on our social media next week. Also, next week we intend to speak to our band members for a re-shoot of the performance scene. We discovered that we had a lot of shots that we couldn’t use due to a camera being in the shot or shaky footage. Therefore, we will re-shoot the performance shoot in January.

KO: WEBSITE: Links

On the website we have created a bunch of links so it is easy to navigate through the website. Through research we found out that the most common amount of links to different pages on the website is 6 and so we created 6 links as well. The links we have are BMTH (Home Page), Merch (Shop), Tour (Upcoming tours), Gallery, The Band (Info on band members), and News (new videos we upload and other info).

We decided to go for the work Merch instead of Merchandise or Shop because Merch is more appropriate for our audience. We also have links above the page links, these are links to different sites such as social media. The links are to Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, and Spotify. We will add a Facebook link later as we couldn't create the link on the school system.

Instead of having a HOME button we went for BMTH instead. The reason for this is because this was used in other websites of this genre such as Bullet For My Valentine. 

KO: WEBSITE: Merchandise

For our website we created a merch site. In the merch site you can choose to buy merchandise that we have created for the band Bring Me The Horizon. Bronwen created the logo for the band as well as created the merch. At the moment we have six different merch items, 2 iPhone cases (black, white), 2 T-Shirts with a heart on it (Black, White) and 2 T-Shirts with the logo on (a small logo and a big logo). The reasons for using iPhone cases is beacuse most people own an iPhone and cases are very useful and because they are so small and cheap they are very often bought by fans.

Here you can see what they look like on the merch page.

When you first open the merch page you will see the six different products you can buy. When i am in the editing tool I can add new good or edit existing ones.

This is what the editing tool looks like.

When I click on a product it lets me add new or more pictures of the product and rename the product.

I can also change a lot of other things such as the price of the good, if the good is on sale or not, if the good is Out of Stock, the size on clothing and more.

Audience Feedback 1: Follow You

Audience Feedback 1: Follow You 

This is the first audience feedback that we got for our first draft of Follow You, it is only a 40 second clip and so the audience couldn't give that much feedback and said that the narrative wasn't clear yet.
UPDATE: Our audience feedback was also one of the reason's why we decided to change our track and idea. Some audience, including ourselves, didn't like the big difference in colour between the depressing narrative and the colorful performance.

SR: Rough Cut 1: Follow You

This is the first 40 second rough cut that I edited together. As Kristian mentioned in his post there is some footage that we can't use due to the camera being in the shot or other reasons. Unfortunately, I tried to see if there was some footage we could use, but didn't find any useful parts.
