this week

this week I will be finishing a story board in detail, with the aim of creating an anamatic showing the length of shots to co inside with the song. And we will also be creating a production plan for when and where and who we will be filming with, and will be over looking costume planning as I am the director I will over see each person.

font feedback

we originally thought about using the bottom font however the ring bearer font looks fuller and is still prominent and worn down font that looks good. as other people have thought after giving them this tally sheet.

story board

This is our story board, however we have done each frame by seconds and there may be different shots within the seconds framed. this means their are more shots but they are of the same thing from different angles.

Song lyrics

No turning back now,

I'm moving ahead toward the way out.

Don't you hate how,

We get left behind in the fallout.

Take a breath and take heart

Instead of pulling apart

When you find yourself back at the start.

Every part of me

Catches on fire underneath,

When I ignite, you'll see.

Maybe I can light the way,

I can light the way back to me.

Back to me.

I won't stand down,

As I feel the ground begin to crack now.

So I cry out,

The same call to arms but with a new sound.

Take a breath and take heart,

When you are falling apart

And you don't even know where to start.

Every part of me

Catches on fire underneath,

When I ignite, you'll see.

Maybe I can light the way,

I can light the way back to me.

Let hope be everything that you need,

To march to a victory,

When you can't feel the difference between,

An inch and infinity.

Every part of me

Catches on fire underneath,

When I ignite, you'll see.

Maybe I can light the way,

I can light the way.

Every part of me

Catches on fire underneath,

When I ignite, you'll see.

Maybe I can light the way,

I can light the way back to me.

Back to me.

Font

The font we have chosen is Scorch Flash with light stroke to show the distortion of the font. we felt that this font was representing the genre, because of the distorted text it shows the rough edgy side of rock.

Independent and Major Record Labels

Major record labels:

Major record labels are large company's who produce distribute and market their artists work this is because most major labels are owned by a parent company Sony BMG is owned by Sony and so on. one of the positives of being part of a major label is that they have large amount of contacts to get you the best people to market, produce and distribute your work. however with being part of a major label you have to sign a contract that will dictate how long you work for them. Here are The Big Three and some of their subsidiaries:

Sony BMG

subsidiaries; Columbia Records, Legacy Recordings and RCA Records

Universal Music Group

subsidiaries; Island Records, Motown, Virgin Records and Vevo LCC

Warner Music Group

Subsidiaries; Atlantic Records, Warner Bros Records, Fuelled by Ramen

The big three labels can make up around 80 percent of the music market.By industry definition, a major label is a label that commands a high percentage of the annual sales of records, and has their own distribution system.

Independent record labels.

 An independent record label (or indie label) is a record label that operates without the funding of or outside major record labels. Many commercial bands and musical acts begin their careers on independent labels. there are huge benefits to being signed by an independent record label for example you have more personal creative control over your work as an artist. however the down sides to being under and independent label is that it has a smaller range of distribution possibility's, and less contacts for marketing.

here are some independent labels and their signed artists.

Sumerian Records - Asking Alexandria

Rise Records - Cane Hill

Demon Records - Elvis Costello

Island Records - Amy Winehouse

Feedback From Class

Our record label

• The record label The Watchmen are signed to is called rise records, the label is based in Beaverton, Oregon, America. The company is a independent company however is quite large and signs bands from all over America. The studios specialise in hardcore rock, hard rock and punk rock this is perfect for our band The Watchmen as they fit between hard rock and punk rock.

• Similar bands signed by the label consist of: Issues, Five Finger Death Punch, Cane Hill and A Fire From The Gods.

• Being an independent record label means the band have more of a creative control over their music, and the label specialise in our bands genre, this means the label is perfect for the band.
