Poster Layouts

Here are the 4 layouts for a poster that I designed. Me and Jordan now need to decide which is
our favourite so we can design it on Photoshop.
Feel free to comment about which one is your favourite!

Poster Research

Me and Jordan have decided to design a poster rathen than a magazine spread.
Music posters can differ in a lot of ways for example, the artwork that is used. Bands mostly use artwork that represents their genre of music. The good thing about posters is that they can be seen anywhere for example, bedrooms, lamposts, notice boards etc. The most common things found on a music poster are tour dates and pictures of the band along with the band name which is vital as you obviously need to know who they are when listening to their music. Also many posters show the ratings the band gets from various magazines and critics. The ratings that are shown are usually positive ones because it makes the audience want to listen to their music.
Here are some examples of music posters.

8 Second clip

At home, Jordan made an 8 second clip using the footage of us miming by using iStopmotion.

Overview of making our music video

Here is a brief overview of how we intend to make our music video.

Filming practice

Me and Jords recorded ourselves miming the first few lines of our version of the song 'White Winter Hymnal'. We played the song through Jordan's laptop, and sung/mimed the words. By doing this we can then split the recordings up by 24fps (frames per second) allowing us to individually print the frames, cutting out the heads, and animating, eventually.
We did this little tester to give us expereince for when it comes to do the real thing.

Finished Song

Here is the link for the finished song for my music video. It is 2:35 minutes long so it will be a quick video but it we still need to make sure we keep the audience entertained.
