Website Update : Completed Tour Page

Below you can see some screen shots of my final tour date website. I decided to look at how the official Christina Perri website. The page was very bland and minimalistic I decided to add 

Update - Website

I looked on the Christina Perri official website and other pop artists websites and they included a 'Music' which promotes their music and you are able to play and stream music so I thought I would add this into my own website.
Below is a screen shot, I've tried to incorporate the same 'theme' and look through my website with the light grey tones, same American Typewritter front and the same buttons, i've done this to make my website look consistent. The page still need things adding to it, such as my digipack, this will be under the 'Album' section.

Update on Website

Below are screen shots of my web store on my website. From looking a other online web stores of other artists I decided to include T-Shirts, beanie hats, bags, bracelets and posters. These seemed to be the most popular merchandise sold on artists websites. I also asked many of my friends what they would want from a web store, they said t-shirts, bags and posters would be what they would buy from a web store. 

To make everything link on my website I decided to use my geometric logo shape a the "Add to Cart" button. The button ties in with the designs on the mercanhdise so I feel this shows a degree of continuitny through my website, reinforcing the look of the "Christina Perri brand".

Above is the "Add to Cart" button. 

Website Update

Here is the 'Gallery' page to my website. I've decided to make it look like a photo montage / pin board. Similar to the layout of the popular online blog website Tumblr a social media platform that our target audience can familiarize itself with.

I've included not only our professional looking 'studio' pictures of our character but also fun casual selfies which our younger audience can relate to creating a better 'friendly' connection with the artist, the audience will feel like they know our singer on a more friend level. This is a common convention in the music industry, artists want to feel more personal with the audience  which in turn helps them to promote themselves further and further promoting  their products.

First Music Video Draft

This is our first draft of our music video. At the moment it is very much in working progress, so far we have filmed a few dance scenes, the fight between the couple and general bickering between the two e.g the sofa scene where the boyfriend is clearly ignoring his girlfriend. We still need to film a few more dance scenes and a bigger fight scene between the characters. At the moment the narrative is still quite disjointed and confusing, so we need to film a bit more to make it easier for our audience to follow along. At the moment the dance scene look very out of place, once we film more dance scenes we hope that the fit in the video nicely. We want the scenes to represent their abusive relationship, she is weak for the first two rehearsals where she is seen wearing casual work out/dance clothes. These rehearsing scenes are supposed to which represents the relationship at its weak point. Her practicing a particular dance move is symbolism for their weakening relationship. Once and once she can do the dance moves, she is able to move on from him and break up with him, the perfect dance move symbolizes her becoming stronger. We aim for the fight scene of their break up to make the song more dramatic and fit the song better as the song becomes very powerful. We haven't sorted out the transitions between clips and scenes properly but we have added some in to give us an idea of what we want our music video to look like overall. Also, we are hoping to do some more layering of film changing the opacity in final cut pro to see what affect it will give. We are hoping it give a somewhat eerie 'ghost-like' effect to the music video. 

Creating My Website

I'm currently in the process on creating my website for the music video. This is what i have came up with so far, I wanted to create a modern, feel to the website with the geometric shapes, symbolizing the meaning of the song, how she's robotic, and becoming human. So far in happy with the overall look. It is slightly plain at the moment, I plan to get screen grabs from our music video incorporating them into the website to display a 'brand' and a use of synergy.
