Digi Pak Research

Digi Pak Research - 'My Chemical Romance'

As part of our coursework when creating a music video we also have to create Digi pak suitable for the music video we made. Due to our genre of music being rock I have decided to look into other rock music Digi paks so I can get a better understanding to how it should look.

This Digi pak is for a rock band called 'My Chemical Romance'.

Things I Like-

I like the wide shot used to capture the full band in an edgy pose, the black and white filter on the shot also really suits the  genre of music because it is fairly dark which i like the idea of.

I like the costumes all the band members are wearing and when it comes to my shoot I think I might use similar clothing as them/

Things I Dislike - 

I dislike the blood splatters because i feel like they look very unprofessional and cheap, I don't think they suit the digi pak at all or contrast the music well.

Font Ideas

These are a few fonts that out of all the options dafont.com has to offer we liked the most, we are still unsure which one to choose and each individual has different opinions on each font therefore we are going to make a survey. I personally prefer the second from bottom one as it is clean yet still has an edgy cut to it which fits our band perfectly.

Roles

Roles

Myself, Max Harry and George sat down and discussed the roles we will uptake in the production and planning of our music video. Firstly, we have decided that I am going to be the cinematographer because I have the most experience behind the camera which means ill be able to do the job efficiently and everyone feels comfortable with me having this role. Max has been assigned the role of editor because he has had previous experience in this role from last year and enjoys editing and does it in his free time as a hobby and sometimes even has jobs from clients to do so he is more than capable for this job.The role Harry has been given is the director, this means Harry is in charge and its up to him to tell us how he wants the project to look although everyone will be putting in ideas, the concept of the music video was Harry's idea. George's role is Mise en Scene therefore he is in charge of setting out the scene and choosing things like props costumes and what lighting we should film in.

Feedback from pitch

Song Lyrics

[Verse 1]
No turning back now
I'm moving ahead towards the way out (the way out)
And don't you hate how
We get left behind
In the fallout (in the fallout)

[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath and take heart instead of pulling apart
When you find yourself back at the start

[Chorus]
Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath
And when I ignite you'll see
Maybe I can light the way
I can light the way
Back to me
Back to me!

[Verse 2]
I won't stand down
As I feel the ground begin to crack now (to crack now)
So I cry out
The same call to arms
But with a new sound


[Pre-Chorus]
Take a breath and take heart instead of pulling apart
And you told me you know where to start

[Chorus]
Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath
And when I ignite you'll see
Maybe I can light the way
I can light the way
Back to me

[Bridge]
Let hope be everything that you need
To much to the victory
When you can't feel the difference between
An inch and infinity

(Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath)

[Chorus]
Every part of me
Catches on fire underneath
And when I ignite you'll see
Maybe I can light the way
I can light the way
Every part of me
I can light the way
Catches on fire underneath
And when I ignite you'll see
Maybe I can light the way
I can light the way
I can light the way
Back to me
Back to me!

The Pitch

The Pitch -

Our Record Label

The record label The Watchmen are signed to is called Rise Records, this Independent Record label is based in Beaverton, Oregon, America. Although it is Independant the company is very large and signs bands from all over America. One of the reasons we chose this record label is because it specialises in hard rock and punk rock, these two styles of music is exactly what our band 'The Watchmen' produces.

Choosing this Independent record label allows the band to have more creative control over their own music, and the label specialise in our bands genre which makes the label is perfect for the band.

Two similar bands that are signed by this Independent record label are Five Finger Death Punch and A Fire From The Gods.

Lyric Annotation

These two pictures consist of a lyric sheet of my groups song "Back to me" that myself and harry annotated in class in order to generate some shot ideas for filming.
