Photography for Ancillary

I took a range of images for the ancillary task, some of my fellow group who helped to construct the music video also used these, but also took some of their own.

Risk Assesment

Risk	Who is at risk and how?	Prevention
Fire	Actors and filming crew. If a fire was to break out, injury could be caused or even fatality.	The school has fire alarms, break-glass and sprinklers already in place. Everyone should know the correct fire procedures in advance.
Rooftop	Actors and filming crew. Due to the height of the rooftop people can fall which would end to them being seriously hurt.	Everyone should be made aware of the fact that the rooftop is dangerous and no one should be allowed near the edge of the rooftop.
Equipment	Actors and film crew could easily trip over filming equipment and props.	All equipment not in use should be placed to one side away from anyone.

Copyright Music - Contacting The Record Label

Using a copyright product is illegal without permission, so in order to use the song Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus, in it's original state, we had to contact the record label that owns the song to ask their permission to use this song for educational purposes. 


This is the letter we sent them.

Unfortunately we didn't hear back from the record label.

Band Name Survey

In our group we decided on a range of different band names, we let out target audience decide on the name we were going to use. We decide to let our target audience decide as these are the people we want to promote the song to, and if they like the band name they are more likely to listen to it.

The survey shows that the most popular name choice for the band is 'The Racoons' This is what the band will be called. The video being released, therefore, is for the single 'The Racoons - Teenage Dirtbag'.

Band Members

 

BECKY: guitarist 

AIMEE: drummer, guitarist and GIRL

BEN: Guitarist and BOY

All of our band members will be wearing casual/rock costumes. This is to reflect the nature of the chosen song by to also bring the band together.

Draft Layouts for Poster

With this layout I have made the image and the band name the main aspects to the poster. I feel that these are the things that will mainly draw the people's attention to the poster, as if people know the band name or the picture they are more likely to stop and read the smaller writing. Next in priority I have put the top singles slightly smaller but still quite dominant, this is because people are more likely to of heard a single song in the charts, that an album name that isn't yet released but due for release. Finally the album name is the smallest thing, this isn't because it's less important than the other aspects, but purely because the others are more likely to get passer-by's attention. 

For this layout i have mixed up the order a tiny bit. I thought that it would be unique to have the band name running up the page, this would look different and hopefully catch peoples attention. I have left the image as the main focus, because people are likely to recognise the group that way. Again top singles is quite dominant, for the same reason as above. I have give the album name the top of the page this time, because it is the first place people will look.

Draft Layouts for Album Cover

This is the first draft layout for an album cover. The image covers the main section of the page, with the band name being second in dominance. I feel that these are the two main aspects of the CD cover so therefore have made them very large. The Album name is slightly smaller but still of importance, this is situated below the Band Name. Smaller details have no set place, as they may look  better in different areas depending on the image used.

This design is similar to the previous, but the Band Name is above the Album Name.
