questions in Paragraph

What did you learn from your research?

From my research I learned that the way in which logos and colours
are used are very important, in a way that makes the band unique in
its own way. The logo of the band is well thought about and different
logos are different from other bands logos. This takes a lot of time to
do so that bands logos are not similar at all.

How have you achieved your design?

As my group has not actually picked a song yet and we are still in the
process of finding a song that would best fit our ideas in which we have
for the music video. We have not started to design a logo yet because as
a group we are still researching a band. But my ideas I have come up with so far for a logo are that I would like my logo to be unique but for this I would need to use colours that other bands do not usually use. Looking at band logos most of them use black as their main colour so I would go different to this.

What do you need to do next?

My group next needs to pick a song as their is a few we can choose from and we are waiting to see if record companies will write back to us. Myself I believe that i need to do more research into the genre to find out more about Indie Bands. I believe this will help me and my group as ideas are gained from what I have found out and could help a lot with our groups coursework.

Song List - What my group has decided to maybe pick.

Artic Monkeys - Mardy Bum

Well now then Mardy Bum
I've seen your frown
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun
And it goes off
And out come all these words
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you
A side I much prefer
It's one that laughs and jokes around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was all up, up and away
Oh, but it's right hard to remember, yeah
On a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Well now then Mardy Bum
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I I thought as much
Cause you turned over there
Pulling that silent disappointment face
The one that I can't bear

Why can't we just laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's rate hard to remember,yeah
On a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

And yeah I'm sorry I was late
but I missed the train
And then the traffic was a state
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care
but of course I do, yet I clearly do,yeah!

So laugh and joke around
Remember cuddles in the kitchen
Yeah, to get things off the ground
And it was up, up and away
Oh, but it's rate hard to remember,yeah
On a day like today when you're all argumentative
And you've got the face on

Maccabees - Wall of arms

I woke up with a loved one's eyes upon me
Loved one's arms around me
Oh...She's my one and only

I grew up in the bosom of my family
Eight strong arms around me
Oh...from the seed they've grown me

And I thank those
Those who kept me company
They are a wall of arms around me
Oh...it is they who are my army
Oh… it is they who are my armyThrough these eyes

There's no god above me
No devil below me
No purgatory, no pearly gates
The worms are what await me
It's only me that can forgive me and
I have faith, oh...I have faith
I have faith, oh...I have faith
In those who put up with me

She's my one and only
If I'm the seed they've grown me
They who are my army
The wall of arms around me

Pigeon Detectives - I'm a Liar

I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view, but i've tried.
All the boys do the same, girl you pop them insane with desire.
'Cause like a bird in my hands, it will all go as planned, I'm a liar.

I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view
But I've tried...

papapa padapa
papapa padapa

I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.

papapa padapa
papapa padapa

I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.
Although I don't know your name, well I could love you just the same, for tonight.
And like a flash in your pendle I will take what I can, if that's alright.
I still don't know how I feel, the words I use, the words I steel, I'm a liar
I can't not thinking of you, since you came into view, but I've tried.

papapa padapa
papapa padapa

I only came here, 'cause I hinder you drinking, darling.

Razorlight - Stinger

"Stinger"
I don't want to get to know you
Get too close to you though you may want me to
I've been watching you, they've been deceiving you
It gives you an excuse to take some abuse

No one likes to be lied toNow you lie to me to protect yourself
Please remember the words we exchanged
How the truth changes shape under strain
And I'm stung every time, oh

I don't love you, I don't like you
I dig what you do and that's all
I don't know you, don't respect you
Don't expect too much from me or you

And if I had to choose between me and you
I'd choose me though I know that I'd lose
And be stung every time, every time

Stinger, oh oh, it's a stinger
It's a bitch
We're long spinning welter
A heart with a schism, a bond with a stitch

I don't love you, don't respect you
Don't expect too much from me or you
I don't know you, I never did
I dig who you were and that's it

If I had to choose between me and you
Though it's the last thing that I'd want to do
I won't love you, I won't love you
Stinger hold, stinger hold, stinger hold

Sara Haze - My own hands to hold

VERSE 1
I was alone sitting on the steps outside your door
You weren't home and I've been through this too many times before
And we go on and on, round and round
It's like we can't break free

CHORUS
You're bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time aroundYou were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
But just my own hands to holdBut where are you?... Where are you?

VERSE 2
Time goes but slowMakin' my way through the words you said
And I didn't know
You were only playin' with my head
But still we go on and on, round and round
It's Time that we break free

CHORUS
You're bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just my own hands to hold

You built me up
You made me believe
That I was the only one
That you'd ever need
And now I'm sittin' hereAnd nobody cares but me

Stop bringing me down
Now you got me on my knees... (you got me on my knees)
The first time around
You were so good to me... (Used to be so good to me)
But now I'm out here in the cold
With just my own hands to hold
(Just my own hands to hold)

You're bringing me down... (Oh you're bringing me down)
Now you got me on my knees
The first time around
You were so good to me
But now I'm out here in the cold
But just my own hands to hold

Research on Music Videos.

Looking on 'YouTube' at different music videos gave me a good idea how simple some videos can actually be. They seem to be made up of a gig scene where the band is singing which is live footage this I mainly found with 'Indie' Bands. I then noticed that a majority of the music videos followed a story from the beginning to the end. This made the video interesting as this is a element which I like in music videos. Eminem and Rhianna's song 'Love the way you lie' follows a story where they have Megan Fox being a victim of domestic violence. I enjoy videos which have live footage or footage from another camera. I found this in the 'Muse - Hysteria' video. This video looked very simple and followed a story which included digital camera of him recording a girl. The video was shot in a hotel room and involved him smashing up the objects in the room and watching the video from the digital camera in which had been filmed. I enjoyed this video because it had footage which looked good from two different cameras. I decided to look at a video by 'Jason Derulo - What If' I liked this video as the video is not in normal forward motion it is in fact in reverse. It tells the story of what would have happened if the two met and how their life would be. The story is based on the song which can be compared to 'Bruno Mars - Aeroplanes' This song may be called aeroplanes but the video holds no relation in fact to aeroplanes.
