Facebook Feedback

We posted our complete and final music video on Facebook and we asked for people to comment their feedback so we were able to receive more external feedback:

Our Lead Singer Star image to Others

Our lead singer:

Alex Turner:

 


Iggy Pop:




Here you can see our lead singer Sam, the Arctic Monkeys lead singer Alex Turner and the rock legend Iggy Pop who was in The Stooges. Our lead singer doesn't have the typical rock star look, in our music video he is wearing a suit which is similar to one of the photos of Alex Turner highlighting we were inspired by his look. They also have a similar hair stair which is a clean cut this also isn't your typical rock star look. Our lead singer also has a very relaxed and cool look which is a very good star image for a lead singer of a rock band. We see Alex Turner is smoking. This symbolises him as someone who is rebellious which is a very good star image of a rock star, our lead singer doesn't have any photos like that as we haven't gone for the rebellious star image, we wanted to sell our bands image as authentic and organic. When looking at Iggy Pop, we see a stereotypical rock star. Long hair and he has his top off while performing. He has very different star image to our lead singer however we were inspired by him when filming our music video. In our music video our lead singer is extremely passionate. We see this when he kicks down the microphone stand, dancing around the stage and throwing his suit jacket into the crowd.

Feedback from album cover

After developing our digipak even further we got feedback on our most updated version of it. The majority of the feedback all indicated that the two different colours used on it was a bad idea and needed changing. However, they all liked the pictures chosen and used were effective and positive for the audience.
After this feedback we decided to keep the photos we were using as people liked those, however we would change the colour of it and stick to one of them. This actually led to the digipak looking more organic and helped represent our band as organic even more. It was said that the track list was wonky and therefore we adjusted it to be straight and arranged perfectly next to each other. This resulted in the digipak looking more professional.

Website Write up

Website:


When looking at our website for our band we wanted to represent them as an organic and real band. This is why we have gone for the black and white style to give them that authentic image. We have gone for this type of theme throughout all our products including the music video and the digipak. We wanted the star image to come across on the website showing they are a simple band who just want to produce good music for their fans. As well as not having abstract colours to draw in fans as we focused on the music side of our band to increase our fanbase.  Our front page is different to many other bands website similar to ours. We wanted a big bold photo of our band to draw the attention of the audience to the band so they become more recognisable and well known. This is because we want to sell their image as a real and authentic band so we had a black ad white photo of the band in their smart clothes. This draws all the attention to the band in which we wanted rather than having pop ups on the front page. We kept it very simple by having the information that may be needed by the fans on the top of the website where they can easily click on the tab and directs them to the necessary area. Our photo gallery consists of several pictures from our live performances to keep the audience close with the band so they can see what the performance was like.There is a media tab which gives the fans an opportunity to listen to the bands new music, view the latest music video and also buy the bands new album. The next tab is there upcoming tour dates and on this age gives the fans an opportunity to get a link which goes straight onto Ticketmster to buy tickets for the latest tour. The next page is for the contact information which contains both contact details for the manager; Eric Buckley as well as the booking team; represented by Phil Duke. The tab for the biography leads to a page where there area few paragraphs talking about the band members and where they came from and how they met, how there latest song Use Somebody helped sell out shows across the country and could potentially have changed there lives forever. This will help sell the band as being organic and real as it shows them as being a normal group of guys who want to release music to their fans. This is there brand image as is what is getting them a huge increase in fanbase. The last tab which is the merchandise of the band to help gain extra income for the band members and another way of connecting them more with the fans. This is done by selling variety of products from clothes to Iphone cases to even jigsaw puzzles.
