Possible album artwork



This idea with the two main characters facing one another shows the relationship that is shown throughout our video the idea to use the characters is still preliminary idea. Because the character of the lover always remains anonymous until the end i think the idea of revealing the character on the album artwork maybe needs to be rethought.

Images of working on the project.

Catching the moment- Here are some stills of the boys working on editing and the digipak.

Website inspiration


So in order to create a suitable website for the band, we first had a look at the conventions and house style of different websites to look at the pattern and styles that each follow. Obviously each website is original and suits the style of the band and the music genre they fit into. The website above is for the original Delphic, with their hit doubt which our group have created the music video for.

The website is basic and has a dominate white colour throughout it uses a innovative style with the font and graphics used throughout this is really common with the websites for indie electro bands, they try to create the most different and 'individual' look to both the band and of course everything associated with it, including the website. Involved in the website as you can see with

Collectively as a group we looked a variety of websites for different bands to get some ideas and inspiration for creating one for Delphic. We obviously looked at the current Delphic site which you can see above, the colours are simplistic and there is a clear theme for each bands site unique to each group. This has helped us to realise that the website m
ust follow the basic themes we want to create, and also must be accessible.




The variation of the use of colour in this website for the indie band Editors clearly shows a difference in the house styling of the band. The main colour is black making the white colour text and the main strip of colour at the top to stand out. The main feature which you can see in the screen shot is the diary entries and live dates. This is vital for fans to keep updated with the schedule of the band, and their appearances and live performances. For Delphic in comparison to Editors it is even more important a calender is a main feature of the website as a new band they need their fans to show as much support at their shows and allow their following to grow.
The interactivity of the website is a major part to get the fan and followers involved with social networking sites such a twitter and facebook, it is vital the band post and twitter their activities getting the maximum followers boosting record sales. This is a main purpose of the website to enhance the band persona and the interactivity level allows the public to be part of the band growth as a whole thus increasing record sales.






Again the prodigy website the colours, fonts images and styling all tie in the imagery the band follow and the genre their music falls into. In this screen shot you can see a video is featured, this player allows the the viewer to watch the video interactively of the new prodigy video. This is a clever concept and keeps the viewer interested and they are almost guaranteed to watch the video, so straight away they are interested. This a brilliant way of grabbing the audience and this will definitely be a feature if it possible on the Delphic website.

Digi pak moodboard



This is some current album art work for bands which can be easily related to delphic sound. The cover will have to edgy and noticable, and quite simple, but must remain unqiue.

Organising Film shoot


In the video we are basing the story around a party scene which obviously we need to create, due to needing people for the shoot, we decided to create a facebook group to invite them all to the filming shoot describing what their roles involve and what type of clothing they need to wear. This will able us to work well with our friends creating the best possible mise- en- scene for our video. By informing all our friends their roles we will able to commence on filming straight away.

locations



This was our initial idea for location for the video for doubt. This is our friends Josh's house we took some shots of the main room where the filming would take place. We will look at other locations, to see if there is is a more suited place for our video.

The main room did seen to be big enough for the party scene and to fit all the equipment in for filming, however throughout the group there was a feeling that the location wasn't right for our type of video we wanted to create,

By looking at locations we now have a better idea of the criteria we would like to follow for the perfect video.The main character jack Clegg, his house is the next location we will be checking out, next time will will shoot some film of the location to see how it would look on camera. I believe that once we find the location we will be sure it will be right for the location almost instantly.

Cast



This is our main character, Jack Clegg. We have chosen him to portray our main character as we feel he has the popular look suited to the song and our target audience. The song is cutting edge using a range of different types of music, this edgy look is shown through both the style and fashion of jack himself. jack will be used as the character who sings the lyrics in the main parts for the video, we feel that with him putting emphasis on the lyrics it will help to build the imagery seen throughout the video. Jack throughout the video is battling with his sexuality and this is shown through he relationship with our other male character, during the main part of the video the identity of Jack's love interest is keep mysterious, however at the end it is revealed as jack a other homosexual character in the video.

This is our other character jack Osman. his role within our video is to remain the mysterious love interest of our other main character Jack. His homosexuality is not revealed to the end as the main character has to remain to appear straight. Again Jack Osman has a edgy look fitting well with the style of music, and helps to portray the target audience that we are aiming, both age and style wise.
