Our music video, website, and album cover all use, develop and challenge forms and conventions of real media products. Some of the real media products we used as inspiration include Paramore's music video for Ignorance, Canterbury's music video for Ready Yet?, Enter Shikari's website and Evanescence's debut album cover.
Music Video
Our music video used inspiration from real music videos, and ideas of our own, which we explain in the video below.We also talk about the female representation in our music video below.
Website
We looked at 2 different genres: female fronted bands and electro rock, as there are lots of bands within those two genres, but female fronted electro rock bands are very niche. Here is a Venn Diagram of the qualities of the websites.
This research helped us make a website that had these conventions to make it look like a convincing band website.
Our website has:
- Social media links
- Competition
- Colourful colour scheme
- Equal focus on band members
- Mailing list
- Navigation bar
- Synergy and branding
- Photos
- Tour dates
- Videos
- Purchasing opportunites (merchandise and music).
Album Cover
We looked at debut albums of female fronted rock bands and electro rock bands, which either used concept artwork (such as Linkin Park, Enter Shikari and Paramore) or pictures of the lead singer (like Evanescence and Within Temptation).We used these conventions but also developed them by having part of the lead singer's face with paint dripping down it. The paint was our concept which then became a theme throughout the rest of the album's other panels.
