A Good Day
15/09/10
Today we made alot of progress, Rene made a questionnaire asking a few questions about our band. We plan to ask a few partispants to take part in our questionnaire. Youssef and Bethany resarched band logos, we believed this would help us think of our own band name and logo and possibly their theme. They produced the following document:
You me at six- This logo does suit the style of the band, the scruffy hand writing and balloons represents the bands image, which is a young teenage group. The scruffy hand writing adds a personal touch, because it can show the soulful heart filled music they produce, such as there song ‘There is no such thing as accidental infidelity. The balloons create a lighthearted feel and it, signifies partying, youth and is more representative of songs like Kiss and Tell.
Feeder- This is a very plain and simple logo, block capital letters and black writing. It does what it says on the tin and is very to the point. It shows pride in their music and suggests confidence. It isn’t very welcoming or visually appealing; it is a bit too blunt.

Lesson Planning
13/09/2010
We had our first in lesson plan of the video and what jobs we would assign to each member of the group, we also decided what genre our song is. We found bands which we could use as influences for our genre indie/rock, these were: Biffy Clyro, The Script and Feeder. Rene is going to do the band research into management and tour companies etc in order to make our promotional website and advert more realisitic,plus band image and Youssef and Bethany are primarily focusing on location ideas and audience research. We also looked at what the band members of Pinstripe, Biffy Clyro, The Script and Feeder wear and went on some clothing websites to get an idea of the image we want our band to portray.
Also in today in the lesson we created a mind map involving initial idea that came to mind when we heard the song, which Rene finshed off .Then Rene created a mood board from this.

Location searching part 1
26th August
In our first meeting we decided that we should look for different locations to film. So Youssef, Rene and Bethany went off to central london, and took pictures of very well known British land marks like Big Ben, The London Eye, Trafalgar Square etc. This is because our band is British and is first trying to break into the UK market before anywhere else. In our music video we want the audience to know that this is a British band, relating it to British indie rock, which we believe may appeal to our audience.
Then we went to a totally differnt location, we went to Twickenham, and found a beautiful park, where there were a lot of tree's, amazing statues and gardens. We thought that this kind of location strongly related back to the very loving lyrics, and we want to use this location and include a lot of different couples, and this on top of the other locations visited throughout the day means we have an endless amount of locations to use.

The first meeting
18th August
Over the summer holidays, We decided to come together and simply discuss and share ideas about different aspects of the music video. In particular we focused on locations and the people we wanted to be in the video.
Bethany had already spoke to a band that were willing to be in our music video. She arranged for us to start shooting their parts sometime during October half-term. We also decided that we did not want old people or children in the video, this is because when reflecting on what genre the song is and the audience we are trying to sell to (teenage), it is not very typical to see old people, so we decided to focus on teenagers in particular.
Also we thought about the locations that we would film, and planned to go location searching at a later period.
