Personal filming progress

Filming is going well on a personal view with my job as the main actor going well with many ideas being possible to bring to reality and taking few takes to complete. The main problems that filming is facing can be seen on the group blog but one that solely involved me was that i went on holiday for a week meaning that filming was impossible for this period of time.

Filming duties

For the filming of our music video i have decided to be the main actor in the video taking the place of the thief. This means my responsibilies will be to look after the costume and always turn up for filming and acting in a way that will suit the atmoshere of the video.

Audience profile

This is my audience profile i did for Kasabian .I put an image of Kasabian in the centre and the image on their album in the bottom left so the band in question can be easily identified. The background is the Union Jack. I chose this because the band come from Britain and this is where they started. I also added modern technology such as macs and the latest game console and equipment to keep up with the bands modern image. The clothing labels converse and fred perry are the type of clothes the band wear along with most of their fans. Along with the Union Jack I also put things that have been a success in Britain such as Wallace and Gromit and the game mario bros. both of which are successful in Britain and household names. I put musical instruments such as guitar and drum kit along with a microphone just to ensure that there is a musical feel to the piece. The food and drink i put into the piece is KFC and a bottle of vodka which is typical things young people consume and the majority of their fans are young.

This is another Kasabian poster yet this one is less eye catching than the previous two. The poster is of the band performing on a stage but in black and white meaning the main image of the poster isn't particulary eye catching. The only part of the poster that does capture your attention is te title. It is big, bold and red on a black background and is also in the font that the band use on their album covers and their official merchandise. This makes this part of the poster stand out from the rest and alure the viewers into looking at the poster.

This Kasabian poster advertising there performance in Chicago, USA is extremely colourful and eye catching. The numerous swirling colours in the background with the multi-coloured title in the bubble writing and the stars make the poster seem very psychedelic. It is the colours that instantly attract you to the poster but it is the eye in the centre of the poster that keeps you looking at the poster. The eye in the middle of the poster keeps you looking because it almost seems that the poster is staring at you almost like a painting and this means that you can barely help staring back. This poster is good advertising as it doesn't just attract a viewer but keeps them attracted.

Kasabian poster analyising

This is a poster promoting the band Kasabian.The first thing you notice when you look at this poster is the four band members all looking directly into the camera which could show they are trying to connect with the viewer and catch their eye. Their clothes and general image comply with their image of being an indie rock band. The way the title is against a black background instead of the background the band are standing against and written in white makes it completely stand-out and very noticable. The title is also written in the same font that the word Kasabian is written in on their album covers and other merchandise from them which makes the poster unique to the band. The overall poster is also reasonably easy to read and view. The font is easy to read and because the band are lined up they are all easy to see and notice meaning no one will be confused and know exactly what and who they are looking at.

Oasis video analysis- Little by little

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic-Na--7_NI

This video from Oasis is a performance video. At the start of the video we see Noel Gallagher who provides the lead vocals for the song as a person on the street playing guitar and singing for money. The video also follows the story of a man played by actor Robert Carlyle and his perculiar journey from a physically small man in a big city to a huge, giant man ending in the countryside. The majortity of the video is shown with very little colour with grey, white and black being the only formiddible colours along with the brown door. Robert Carlyle's character who at the start is very short stumbles around, ignored from others walking by looks up and the upward camera angle making the buildings and people look tall and dominating telling us that the character feels lost and his small physical size is an indication of how he feels mentally. The Gallagher and Carlyle characyers do cross paths when Carlyle puts some money in the Gallagher's hat for playing and as he picks up the coin it gives us a clear indication of just how short Carlyle's character is. In the next image Carlyle's character has clearly grown in size yet is still shorter than the normal person. Over the course of the video Gallagher's character is simply ignored by most and those of do give him money it is very little and this makes the viewer feel slightly sorry for the character. As Carlyle's character crosses the street his height increases and is now of normal size but falls over and is helped up by man who captures the viewers eye as he is wearing a bright white coat and makes eye contact with the camera but swiflty vacates the scene. Being helped by someone and no longer ignored could be an indication that he is equal in height and importance to everyone else now. As Carlyle's character walks down a city road it fades into a coutryside road and when walking around the countryside he becomes bigger and bigger until he peaks even highier than the tree tops.
