my final music video, to we say when taken back


the idea behind this was due to the idea of a triangle symbolising unity, as the song 'taken back' portays this in its message i felt a triangle was the best way to show this.with lyrics like 'because ive got the best freinds anyone could ask for' and we would have no water, but what we'd have is unity'the song clearly fits with this album cover. The Sea background was selected as a symbol of peace and serenity, this is shown in the ancilarys and video showing the band to be a calm happy band, this challenges todays veiws on rock music, todays veiws are that rock music is solem and sad with teen angst, the sort of music made by 'We Say When' is the oppasite and shows a side to rock music otherwise not explored by many bands.

the back of the album cover was a mirror of the cover, the triangle was turned round, the track listings for the ep are there aswell, for authenticity the bar code, recordlabel and sponsors are all on the back making the album look like one you would buy in the shops.

my final ancillary poster, desighned to catch someones eye if it was place in a magazine, this engages the target audience i want as it is the middle sleeve modified to fit the page and the brightness is enhanced,thios is better then my old one due to the information being displayed in an interesting manner

the middle sleeve of m,y artwork, the calm sea spread over two pages, the sunset was quiet a ni9ce touch, using photoshop i made the tiangle slightly see though, making it colourfull aswell, aswell this still represents unity, the lyrics are on the left hand side and cantered in paragraphs.

question 3: audience feedback


the location was easy to get to from my house being only 2 minutes away, this was a beautiful rural place away from people where we could set up the shoot for the video, this was obtained by asking the landowner for a day if we could shoot, we where lucky with such nice surounding for the video and the weather was with us on the shoot this made it very easy to shoot the band using natural lighting, the first establishing shots of the video in the picture above gave people an idea of what the rest of the video would turn out like.
