Promotion And marketing (Ancillary)

I have looked into the last album release of ELO and looked into the design of the album. The first thing that you will see is a large colourful flying saucer type spaceship at the top of the cover. Looking into older albums you will see that that is a recurring image they have used throughout their album releases. This makes it immediately stand out to people as an ELO album and fans will look out for and recognise it in a shop.

Below you will find a young boy sitting on the ground looking up at it and in-between them there is is a large green field illuminated by a search light from the spaceship. This sets the mood of the album which is themed about space exploration and childhood. So this way the album cover portrays the theme very well. And in plain letters at the bottom you can find the title of the album, which shows that most of the importance is on the actual image.

Final Music Video

rough edit

Here is rough edit of my music video. It has most of the clips in the right order. some are missing and colour and transitions as well as green screen background.

Props and Costumes

I want my cast to wear to casual clothes, which people will wear every day so that my audience could relate to them, so I had just asked them to their normals clothing.


I did not use many props but i had 1 guitar which was held by Fin most of the time.

Location shots

Here are the location where I have choose to shoot my music video and the reason why.


Bruce house mixed com.
 A large room where I had space to set up my green screen for filming.Where i had space to set up adequate lighting. This is also where the piano stood which I used for some shots.














Forrest path
This was a long track in a remote looking part of a forest which was not too far away to shoot at. I was looking for a road which was not used by many people with trees lining its side. I used it for the beginning of the video as well as a large part of the lip syndic.








Findhorn
I had shot a lot of footage in the coastal town, it has a large number of different sceneries as well as beach which was good for a variety on shots.














Bruce house
Inside Bruce house i had shot some footage inside a dormitory because it looked like a child's bed room. as well as a generic living room

Casting

The actors in my music videos are 2 brothers. I choose them because they look similar which was good for the effect I wanted which was that of  a yopung boy and his older version singing about his childhood.

Angus Rose-Bristow

He will play the older version of the boy who m,ainly does lip-syncing in the video.He is a good choice for this role since he is an A-Level drama student.












Fin Rose_ Bristow


Fin is a amateur actor, whom I have choosen due to his similarities with his brother but also because of his young age..





















Calum McCrae






He plays the piano, I choose him because he was able and willing to play the piano
