CD and Website Test Shots

 Here are some test shots that we captured using the green screen in which we used for our CD cover and website. These shots are of our group for the project but only one of them will be performing in the music video.

Music Video Performance

Due to the poor weather conditions we decided to film our artists performance on the green screen facility in college instead of the previous location we were going to use. This way the weather would not affect our filming. It also gave us control over lighting. Although using a green screen removes the urban vibe the video creates, the green screen also allows us to use a dark setting, which will relate to the lyrics in the song. Using the green screen will also be relevant as the group Pendulum tend to use green screens. Alike Pendulum in the video 'The Island' we will be using one artist in the performance whereby we will also use close ups and a similar editing style, which will include fading and dark lighting.

CD back cover

This is the back cover for our CD, which will include our track listings. This has the image on the right facing the opposite way as it is now on the back cover we thought this was relevant.

Website Design

This is the current website design we are developing, this is not the finished product. Again we have incorporated the urban, blue theme that relates to our generic conventions. This has also been designed using photoshop.

To stick to this blue tinted theme we highlighted the logo of our band. The logo is featured on the CD design and website. We have decided to use a cartoon logo as this relates to  the urban, graffiti style of drum and bass. Artists such as Chase and Status have previously used this idea on their website.

Pendulum CD Cover

This is the CD cover we designed on adobe photoshop. Instead of using the graffiti fonts we created previously, we decided to use the font Pirulen because we thought it related to our chosen artist more. We also decided to use the negative effect and incorporate a blue theme, which Pendulum also seem to use in videos like 'The Other Side.' This theme will also be found in our music video. The spray paint dripping effect we designed is a reference to the urban side of the genre. Many artist, such as Sub focus and chase & status tend to stick to this urban style.
