Behind The Scenes 2

This was behind the scenes of the dark, coloured lighting shots. We had a make up artist come in and paint Tay in a sort of alien make up to make her seem out of this world and extra-terrestrial. We knew we wanted this scene to be one of the most interesting and one of the weirdest. So we tried to make her look as appropriately weird as we could. This scene also included a variation of shots and a wide range of of editing styles that were done in post production.

Behind The Scenes 1

This is the first video for the behind the scenes of the production of Overdrive - Irreverence. In this scene we were shooting the bedroom scene for the chorus. We tried many times to get a dynamic shot of the actress falling on to her bed. We first had her hold the camera on her face and have her fall with the camera to get the shot, that didn't really work as it was hard to get the correct angles on her face. It was also hard for the actress to focus on pointing the camera, acting to the camera and knowing when to fall.

We then tried to have Ben fall with the actress whilst holding the camera recording her. This way we could get the correct angles and the actress did not have to worry about keeping the camera at a distance and angling it herself. But as you can see from the video we quickly realised that there was no way for Ben to stop himself from falling with her.

In the end we had Eddie act as a stopping motion for Ben by holding on to him and pulling him back before he falls. This was successful and we got the shot we wanted.

Website: Tour Page

The tour page is again a way of making the website seem official and authentic. None of the links work and tickets are not available to buy, but it does give the impression that we are a real touring band and we play at several different locations. The colour scheme is again the same and the buttons glow red when hovered over.

Website: Music Page

The music page is a simple page that has a link to our music video where you can watch it straight on the website. We took this idea from Calvin Harris's website as we agreed that it allows for fans who may not know about us to easily see our most recent music video. There is also two links to the left hand side. One isn't currently showing up but it is a link to get the song on spotify, but ultimately we could not get the song on spotify so the link is for show. And secondly we have a link to iTunes. We wanted to do this to again increase the authenticity of the website and the band to make it appear as though we are a real band. The font and background is consistent throughout all pages.

Website: Album Page

We wanted to make our website really creative and authentic. We found a feature which lets us add an album on website which also acts as the store as you can buy and share the album. It also has a working music player with our song on there but we haven't included other song titles from the album. There is a picture of our band on the front for the deluxe edition album and all the information about the album is there.

Website: About Page

Here is the about page for our band's website, it is quite simplistic which fits with the genre, but this also challenges the genre as quite a lot of house music artists do not have an about page on their website. We wanted to have an about page that introduces us as a band and gives a small bit of background about us as it allows us to connect with our fans. It gives fans the opportunity to know a little more about us, and give the impression that we are disclosing personal information or information fans otherwise wouldn't have known. This is more typical of the pop genre but we wanted to include this because we feel that many it is also a typical convention of a band. Each member has their own story and personality which should be shared.

There is also a small paragraph describing the aim of the band, what its all about, and how it was formed.

Website: Home Page

Here we have our homepage. We utilised the same space background throughout the entire website as we wanted to stay consistent. From our research we found that a lot of house music artists use a similar colour scheme of black, white and red in their websites. So we chose to use those colours in ours. We have a white navigation bar on top which has our bands logo on the top left and social media links underneath. All social media links work and will take you to the corresponding social media website. Our navigation buttons are in the top right, each work efficiently and are clearly visible. Finally we wanted to have a very social, interactive feel to our website so we decided to use photos from our bands shoot on the homepage, similar to the Skrillex site researched, as it gives fans the opportunity to see what we get up to and have a behind the scenes feel, allowing fans to connect with us and stay up to date.

Website: Intro Page

For our homepage we wanted to create a sense of infinity and endlessness, so we decided to use space as our background as it works with the genre of our band which is electro/house. It is also representative of our band as believe our music to be innovative and out of this world. We wanted to have an intro page before the home page to make it a little more interactive for viewers, and a lot more visual, to show that a lot of effort has been put into this website. We also chose to have the name of our band front and centre so that everyone knows it is our website and we are promoting our name.
