Results from meeting with the band

After speaking with the band member we found that their target audience is very broad because of their music and because of where they play which is a pub setting that can have from 18 year old people to 60 and 70 year old people, they are not gender specific in their target.
After asking about what bands influence them Tim told us that they do not base themselves on another band they like to be individual in their style. The genre they would base themselves in was indie/rock similar to what I interpreted it to be with covers on their website like Greenday etc.
The band are very happy with their logo however they have allowed us to upgrade it best we can to a newer style that we feel would help their promotion.
When asked about the type of video they would like Tim liked the thought of a narrative along with performance which I would class as a amplification video, I then went on to ask what the song is about to start and get an idea for the narrative, Tim’s interpretation of the song was a break up of a couple I also asked would he want the video more fun or very serious, he said that a more fun video would suit what the band are about more.
The song we are making a video for is called “Don’t matter” after being told this I accessed the song through the bands website the song is 4min 13sec just above average for a song, the song is quite upbeat and has a good rhythm to work with.
We also asked about what setting the band was thinking of for the video their initial idea is outside in open space, the costume would fit the genre of a more alternative style of costume i.e. jeans and smart top which again is open to a massive target audience.
We then asked would the band want a lot of affects in the video to make it flashier and high quality in terms of technology however Tim’s view that a few affects would be good but simplicity would work.
Filming
As a group we discussed what dates we would be available to film in January we came to a conclusion to around early January however producer Beth then emailed the band the date and we were told they would not be able to make the dates we suggested. The dates the band sent back were after our internal deadline for filming, them myself and Lucy spoke to Mr Sheppard our media teacher and told him the situation we have been given an extension because the date was change by the band not ourselves although this is cutting in fine we all agreed it is achievable.
