Our Artist's Website So Far

Here is our 'Home' page for our artist Piper Young. We felt that the front page should clearly show her and her name. This is why we have used two photos of her very close up. We changed the pictures into black and white as colour didn't go with the background. We made her lips red as we thought this contrasted well.
At the top we have links going to a gallery, news, live, store and albums. Also we have joined Piper Young to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook so her fans can reach her through social networking sites.

Here is our 'Gallery' page. There are various photos from a photoshoot we done but have changed the background and edited them to make them look like they are from different times. We plan to add more photos in time.

Here is our 'News' page. This keeps the fans updated with all the latest things that Piper Young is 

doing. More will be added to this.

Here is our 'Live' page. This shows when Piper Young will be performing and where. We have based most of her performances in America as she is American therefore most of her fans will be based there. If you click the ''TICKETS" buttons, it will take you to TicketMaster.com

Here is our 'Merchandise' page. This is where you can buy personalised Piper Young products. We have used popular products for example a T-Shirt and a iPhone case. 

If you chose that you would like a T-Shirt, you can chose your size and it to cart.

It will then appear in your cart like this.

Behind The Scenes

Playing With The Software

Here is a screenshot of a bit of footage that we shot down London. We played around with the different effects and tried various transitions. We added an effect called the 'Paint Bucket' . We did this because we felt that the shot was pretty boring and needed something to brighten it up. The colour worked well and went with the beat of the song.

Key Shots In The Same Genre Music Video

We researched some music videos and found similar genres and themes. We then looked at the specific shots that the directors used within them to see if there was some sort of consistency.
For Example: 

Rihanna - Man Down

 We liked the fact that they use different angles throughout the verse even though it is set within the same setting. This showed us the artists feeling about the situation she was in by using extreme close ups. We will use something similar to this in our video.


Eminem feat. Rihanna - Love The Way You Lie

This music video also shows the same themes throughout for example abuse and bad relationships. The shots used are very similar to the other video being that they use close ups of the artists to show their facial expressions and their emotions.

Weather Research

We plan to film most our music video outdoors therefore we will need to check the weather. This is so that we can come prepared for example coats and gloves if it is cold or maybe an umbrella if it rains.

Here is the first day that we plan to film. By using this method of looking at the weather, we can easily see the break down of roughly which time the weather will change. This weather chart shows that it will rain most of the day. This could be a problem for us as it may ruin the shots. The rain and the darkness could look really good in our footage as it would relate to the music well, but it could also not look to great.

We tried filming our footage in this weather but it didn't work. The wind kept blowing Poppy's hair in her face and this ruined the shot as you could not clearly see what she was singing. Due to this minor setback, we decided to film the shots that was going to be inside the house. 

Here is the second day that we plan to film. This weather chart shows that there will be no rain all day therefore this means that we can get most of our outside filming done on this day. It will be fairly sunny and warm but will still look effective in the music video.
We filmed the outside footage in this weather and it worked really well. There was a slight breeze which blew Poppy's backwards. This looked nice and worked well in the shot.
