As well as that, we faced a number of problems that we had to overcome when shooting our promo and editing it. When shooting our music promo in the darkened room during our performance section, the camera could not see what we wanted to shoot due to the lack of light. We overcame this by changing which spotlights that we had on us so that we were illuminated better for the camera. Furthermore, when we were shooting our narrative side outside in public, we were faced with the problem of people driving through our shot. This was bad as it looked unprofessional to have strangers driving past. Moreover, when shooting outside, we overcame the problem of glare on the camera by repositioning the shot.

As well as that, I managed to also develop my skills with editing during the editing stages of our production. Instead of using iMovie, I used Final Cut Pro to edit this music promo which was effective as Final Cut Pro is industry grade software which allows the user to manipulate their footage a lot more effectively. For example, you can align audio with footage a lot more easily; allowing for a well synced music promo. I managed to develop my skills in editing as it was very difficult to sync up all of the footage so that it played continuously with the song, however we managed to make it look professional as we became more skilled the more we edited.

I learned and developed a new range of video shooting skills whilst shooting my music promo. I had to move very fluently when shooting the moving shots of our music promo so that it looked professional. This was achieved by placing the DSLR camera on a tripod and holding the tripod in a particular way so that the image does not look like it is stuttering around. Moreover, I have developed my skills in maintaining a continuous shot so that it makes sense when it is edited.

Moreover, we used social networking sites to research and contact the band. By accessing the

Silent Sundays’ MySpace page we found out some information about the band such as them being from Sheffield and them comprising of four members – lead guitar, rhythm guitar, bass and drums. Moreover, during our research phase we used the largest video sharing website YouTube to explore examples of promos for inspiration. This was effective as the YouTube video library is full of existing rock music promos. For example, we studied Nirvana’s “Smells like teen spirit” music promo on YouTube to gather inspiration for setting and costume which influenced where we shot and how we dressed in our music promo.

To choose our band we went on the website www.unsigned.com. This was ideal for our project as it was only comprised of unsigned music artists. This was done because of ownership issues – bands don’t want to let their music be listened to for free as they could make money off it otherwise. This was useful as it meant that we could bypass any problems with copywriting from an already signed band. This is an issue because artists would lose out on money from people buying their tracks as they could come to our music promo to listen to it for free.
