Final Video

Storyboard

Once our ideas were decided, we needed an efficient way of storyboarding our video in order to make the filming process a lot quicker and easier. As a group we took images that once put together gave us a clear indication as to what shots to film, and then where to put them when we began editing. We used celtx to put together our storyboard.







Print work: Poster

After our CD Cover print work was done, we decided to make a poster in order to advertise the new single for our band. This is what our poster ended out like.

We decided to follow the 'house style' of the CD cover, so we used the same title for the band title. We also used the same font for single title. We chose to keep the text at a minimum so that the poster was simple to read and got the intended purpose (to advertise) clear to the audience. We also decided to include the institute we chose to use 'rough trade' this gave the band a professional look and made the band look reliable and well established.

Print work: CD Cover

As well as creating our indie music video, we have created a CD cover.The CD cover included the front cover, the inlay to the CD, the back of the CD and the CD sticker.

We made several drafts of what we wanted our CD covers to look like. We used the software Disc Cover, in order to create the following drafts.

Our song and the lyrics


Slow me down,
Change my ways tonight,
Or is it all too late,
How could you keep those lying eyes at bay
When you couldn’t hide away, hide away
Oh I’m wide-awake, wide-awake
Oh I’m trying to say, trying to say
All the words that are in my mind today

Ah whoa!
Ah whoa!

Oh won’t you wait for a minute
Cause my heart isn’t in it today
And don’t, well I’ve tried and I’ve tried
But there’s nothing left for you to say to me
I’ve been falling at your feet
Now I’m full of it
Can’t you see?
You’ve been holding me back for too long now

Whoaaaoo
I tried for you
Whoaaoo
Never good enough
But nothing’s for you

Oh you think you’re better than, oh you think you’re better than me
When you cheat and lie, oh.
No I never did, oh you know I never could see
When you cheat and lie on me

Ah whoa!
Will you wait for a minute?
Cause my heart isn’t in it today
Ah whoa!
Well I’ve tried and I’ve tried
but there’s nothing left for you to say to me
I’ve been falling at your feet
Now I’m full of it
Can’t you see?
You’ve been holding me back for too long now

Whoaaaoo
I tried for you
Whoaaoo
Never good enough
But nothing’s for you

Oh you think you’re better than, oh you think you’re better than me
When you cheat and lie, oh.
No I never did, oh you know I never could see
When you cheat and lie
Oh you think you’re better than, oh you think you’re better than me
When you cheat and lie, oh.
No I never did, oh you know I never could see
When you cheat and lie on me

Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhh

Now my heart beats clear
When you cheat and lie onnnnnn
meeeeee

Whoaaoo
When you cheat and lie
Ohhhhhhhhh.
