A2 Media - Music Videos (James Colton)

This is my music page talking about how to buy the music and stay up to date with what is happening with my artist. I have changed the background to this image as I wanted to music page to have the theme of what their songs are about rather than a studio shoot. so that is why I have them in the streets. I have created a temporary cover for my music as i will be changing it later on.

This is very simple. I just needed to list a few tour dates at places that a small artist could perform at. These locations were good for a small artist like mine. It is a UK tour as he is a are a small artist and people from other countries wont really know who he is.

This is the News section of my website. I wanted to create some essence of establishment in the artist. That they have had a past. I created teasers for the new music video, an interview with Snoop Dogg and their first EP.

This was an attempt to film the first scene of the music video. However it did not go as planned as it was too cold for my actors so we decided to do it on a warmer day. This also showed me that my shutter speed was too low for slow motion so it looks very blurry from motion blur so next time i will have a faster shutter speed so it looks better with no blur. This is a good test to show what this part of the music video is going to look like.

This is my Home Page. I have decided to keep a minimalistic feel to the website as it is simple but effective/stylish and I am able to do it with little to no struggle. I have put an interview with the main artist as one of the first things you see, briefly describing what the EP is about. then lower down we have some information about how you can get the song. I needed to save this page from having much information as I need most of it to go on the about page. For this 'Interview' I have chosen a more casual style of filming. I wanted it to almost look like a home video. Therefore I hand held the camera so it had a reasonable mount of shake. I wanted it to almost look like a quick interview that was done mid recording of the music video.

My backgrounds have a common theme throughout the pages of my website. This is to show clearly the main artist and create a more personal connection between the artist and the person viewing the website. I wanted more of my artist's face revealed to us the more we go throughout the page. Then on the final page (ABOUT) I have revealed both the artist's faces in order for this page to show the most 'about' them.

This scene comes before and after Scene 4. The scene above is only half of this scene, the scene after scene 4 (after the dispute). I haven't found the need to storyboard this scene before the dispute as it will have similar shots to this one. As the two sections of this scene are filmed in the same location, it will show the drastic change of emotions that both characters feel towards one another. I want to make this even more dramatic by having the second/final section of the scene being filmed at night which contrasts it even more from the day part of the same scene. This location will have a good emotional attachment that both characters will feel when they come to this location (having good memories at the basketball court). Then at the end of this scene the only thing the surviving character will know is that he killed his friend at thus location. So these scenes create a huge impact on their lives.
