about my banner

the banner i have created consists of a content marker showing where i would have the black and white image of our artist Amelia-lee and also its includes my logo. i have used the colours that we have discussed as being the main colours we want to use for our artist which was black and white as it is simple and we want our artist to be known for and stand out because of her voice not because her gimmicky banners full of mad colours and so on. i made this banner in gimp.

location recce's for castle green and drama studio for video



these picture that i have taken are of a location recce for the castle green cafe and the drama studio that we want to use to film our music video. we looked at these places and said they are both appropriate for filming our music video in, but we need to make sure that they are available for us to use when we are wanting to film in them and also with the cafe that they are not having customers in the way of our shots which could cause continuity errors in the shots.

mood board feedback

When Fatima looked at my mood board she said that she understood why i had used each of the pictures i used because it shows the themes of the song and also the way the artist is represented and her background and also how the song lyrics and themes show that she is a normal girl who does also go through guy troubles, falling in love and not being able to tell the person. also the colours used mainly black whites and reds in the pictures of my collage show the genre of music that we as a group are doing (soul/jazz) as they are typically seen in this music genre. she said maybe i could have used an actual image of the real artist (Amy Winehouse) in it, but i had written about her in 'about the mood board' post i had done so does really do the job with out leaning towards our new artists copying the representation of Amy at the moment. she said that my mood boards would be good to attract our target audience and they would relate to it and understand it as it shows the genre well but the pictures denote young adults and meaningful pictures.

About the mood boards

The mood boards which i have made and based on the song 'to know him is to love him' by Amy Winehouse.
shown in these mood boards are pictures which show the feelings portrayed in the song,these are, sadness, love, confusion, and isolation.
also its shows the artist's background, showing she is from London, she is just an ordinary girl, she still has boy troubles even though she is a known artist, she plays the guitar and writes music about how she feels.
also she is unnoticed by the man she loves.
It shows the genre of the music with denotations of love. (soul)
handwritten fonts showing she is a song writer also.

storyline idea at the moment

* based on the artist being a girl who falls for a 'popular' guy
* she falls in love with him but is too shy to tell him or confront him
* he doesn't notice her
* she first sees him once and falls for him, writes about him but doesn't see him for a while
* when she sees him more and more she falls more and more in love with him and when she gets any time she writes about him
* she does minor roles (cleaning, checkout girl etc) to try to earn money, but also see him around, but still he doesn't notice her
* she is sining as he goes past her
* she is performing at the end after cleaning the stage the spotlight is on and she sits there with a guitar and sings
* he comes back to collect something and then sees her singing on the stage, she finishes and notices him, they stare and it ends.

To Know Him Is To Love Him lyrics

"To Know Him Is To Love Him"

To know, know, know him 
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile, 
Makes my life worthwhile

To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do, I do, I do 

Oh, I'll be good to him, 
I'll bring joy to him
Oh, everyone says 
There'll come a day 
When I'll walk alongside of him
To know him is to love, love, love him
And I do, I really do, I do

Why can't he see, 
How blind can he be
Someday he'll see 
That he was meant for me

Oh oh, to know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
Just to see that smile, 
Oh, it makes my life worthwhile
To know, know, know him
Is to love, love, love him
And I do, I really do, and I do.
