Band Merchandise

We chose to put our merchandise on clothes as many bands from our genre do so. The merchandise was then put on my individual website on the websites shop page. The merchandise offers the fans to feel closer to the band, lets them feel distinct and different from the rest and declares their like for the band band to the public or anyone who sees the t-shirt.

Band name

We chose our band name to be The Fiction as we wanted to be seen as a group, we therefore decided to be ''the'' something. We chose the fiction as it fitted around our song and the idea of reality that was explored in our video. The name is also simple and easy to remember and therefore will stay with people.

Live Performance

Live Perfomance:
To film the live performance, we filmed in the studio, using lights and instruments with a cameraman. The live performance was compulsory for our music video, as we discovered through our audience research, as it offered credibility to our band. I had to mime and Matt and Jono had to pretend to play guitar, which brought about its issues. I brought in speakers, which played out the music out loud so we could play along in time to it and we played through the song several times, with a camera walking around the studio filming us from different angles. When we uploaded, we used the best footage and put them on our video.
