Pre Production- Similar Products- Album Covers

Our band compared themselves with take that, both bands have 4 members and in this album art you can clearly depict that Gary Barlow is the most important one as he is the highest person and in the middle.

Our band also compared themselves with You Me At Six this is more of a reasonable comparison as the genre of music is largely the same but composed of 5 members.

Pre-production- Target market results

This shows the results of the video target market research, as indicated the video is most popular amongst 13-19 year olds, this is a popular genre of music, although there aren't many views as these increase I will post updates of this research.





















This next set of results is as of the 15th March 2011 as we can see as the views increase we get a more precise age range and it is now 13-17 years old.

Pre-Production Target Market

I Think the target market of Starfish is the 12-25 age group I am going to post the video on Facebook and see what people reply to what they think it is.



The reason i believe that the age that the music will appeal to is because the band the most identify with and are similar too like You Me At 6, Squeeze or bowling for soup all have roughly the same target audience with the slight exception of YMAS which is more geared towards girls but still appeals to both genders.

Post-Production- Editing

My other role was the Editor I had not used Adobe Premier Pro before but quickly found that it was a fairly easy program to use, so after getting all the shots together I made a first draft of the first half of the song. This was then shown to Kerrin who approved of the progress made and helped me add a few shots to the first draft of the editing, after showing Mr Shepperd, he suggested that the 40 second gap in the start of the song were there was no audio as its purpose was to introduce the band was too long, also the idea of black and white outline effect fading to colour at the start of music was a good idea, but, instead of this we could use the outline effect at the beginning with the start of the music and then the outline faded into a normal colour scheme when you see the band playing the instruments then fades back to the outline when the chorus starts and fades to normal colours once it ended the end result met with approval from the bands representative who met with us (not an actual band member however) and also from the crew I worked with and with Mr Shepperd.

The second stage of the editing meant that i changed the start of the video as suggested and instead of the white with black outline like the A-ha video Take Me On, I changed it to Black with grey/white outlines, and used the fades to black that the band had suggested in our first meeting before we even started editing so they were clear about what they wanted to accomplish.throughout the editing process i did consult other members of the crew for any advice or suggestions that they had and worked these into the video.
