The merchandise was then put on my individual website on the websites shop page.

<b><u>Live Perfomance:</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
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.</div>

The options are clearly laid out making the website easy to navigate and easy to use. I chose a similar font to the font that I chose for the digipak as I felt it matched the image of the band.<br />

<div>
Oasis' website follows the conventions expected of the genre, however differs from many, as the band are not now together. As the band are not together, the website is not updated as frequently as one of those that focuses on a band that are currently together however due to reissues and anniversaries there is still content to be put up for the fans. The band not being together increases a focus on their history, the websites involves pictures and and information on previous gigs. The website follows conventions by including an on-line shops, forums, videos, press videos, news etc. The big pictures of this website that stand out is something that I will try to replicate in my website.<br />

The Digipak here again follows the themes of the rest of the digipak by having the effect of the colour and the blur. The bands logo is included on the CD along with the three members of the band. The CD and the background template are the same, which again creates a sense of continuity. The photo is from the setting of the video and has the famous Brighton Pier in the background, which shows will evoke memories of the video as well as any personal memories if they have been to Brighton. We wanted to have picturesque backgrounds for our digipaks and that is one of the reasons we went to Brighton.<br />
<br />
In the song it refers to the past being better place we went to Brighton as it has picturesque landscapes and therefore shows the brilliance of the ''old days''.<br />

The middle of the digipak contains the lyrics, as many albums not just of the indie rock genre do. The photo contains the blur effect again, which runs throughout the entire the digipak as well as the colouring of the photos. The writing of the lyrics of the is in the same font used throughout.<br />

The back cover of my digipak follows the forms and conventions expected within this genre. The back cover contains the order of the songs of the album (all of which are by The Strokes), the record label, the band log, the rights and the bar code. The albums colour has been edited along with the blur effects to create the continuity with the rest of the digipak. The back cover is another pose and shows the band in a different location and offers a change from the front cover.<br />
<br />

The Oasis album has the band again at the same location of the front, doing a different pose with the band members positions mixed about with different people enjoying more/less focus. Our cover has the band members mixed up and different members have more focus.<br />

The front cover of my digipak is colourful bright and stands out as well as being a reference to the 1979 film Quadrophenia, which our music video tries to recreate the themes set in the film. The intertextuality will flatter those who get the reference, as well as remind those of the themes set in the Quadrophenia film. The front cover is of the band posing down the famous alley way, used in the film and creates intimacy between the band and audience. The cover of the digipak carries over the theme of reminiscence set in the video by not only referencing a film made 36 years ago, that is itself nostalgic of events in 1964, but by the colours used. I effected the colours by altering the curves and focused on bringing the red and orange colours out of the picture to create the ''super 8'' look, which runs throughout the video. The font I have used in is imposing and fades away, matching the theme of the video. The blur also creates a theme of reflecting on time, which is again a theme developed in the video. In the cover we also use the bands logo again for reiteration of the bands name as well as promotion for the merchandise.<br />

My digipak has taken influence from Oasis' Definitely Maybe cover, with the effect on the colours and brightness of the image. This cover is more natural than, as in mine the band are posing, however the colours and the togetherness of the band are reiterated in our video.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04508552142041910857noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3755344511099423242.post-48951191470467210562015-03-26T15:17:00.001-07:002015-03-26T15:17:23.987-07:00Conventions of Music WebsitesWebsites are used to promote and to sell the band they are advertising.

As this was my first time of using Photoshop, it took me a while to get used to the programme and lead to me spending a lot more time on the software than I would have if I was used to it. The software was only available to me at school which also meant that I could not access the programme at home and, again made the process more difficult, as I could not take it home.<br />
Here is an example of the kind of tutorial videos I had to watch to grasp the concept of Photoshop.<br />

As the letters are eroded and are fading away it gives a sense of realism as well as represents the past fading away, which was a theme developed in the song. I also chose o captialise the letters of the front cover on my digipak, as I felt that was imposing and matched the image of the band, as well as the fact that I felt it would stand out to the general public.<br />

After watching the video I applied my knowledge on Photoshop to create the blur effect.The blur I used was radial blur, which created a sense that we were going back through/reflecting time, a theme that was developed in our music video through the shots of the band in reverse.<br />
