Post 13 - Photo-shoot Plan


This is our photo shoot schedule to make sure we know when all of the photos will be taken. This is so that we can make sure we have the appropriate costumes with us and all the props that we need for the photo shoot. It also prepares us in case the time table doesn't go to plan because other things come in the way and at least we will know that we have other slots that are available just in case. It also tells us the locations we will be in and what photos we will be taking whilst we are there.

Post 15 - Talent Release Forms


Talent Release Forms;







These are our talent release forms which is a legal document in which we have all signed to make sure that there are no sudden dramatic changes when it comes to the filming. It means that now they have signed it, they can not go back on their word as they have already given out the permission that is required of them. It also states what days we will need them and where they are expected to be. They are also given information on what the production company is and who the producer is.It also gives us a little bit of contact information for each member of our company meaning that if we needed to quickly get hold of them, we could.


Post 14 - Location Permissions Letter


This is the permissions letter for us to use Andrews house for a few of our location shots. We have mentioned the days that we are planning on filming so that if they have a problem or are busy on that day they will know before hand. This will mean that we will have the information needed ahead of ourselves to make sure that we can quickly change the dates.


This is the other permissions letter which we will give out to the other locations as they are less specific. Below we have emailed our Morden Hall Park location just to ask if we could have their permission to film in their location. We are still yet waiting on a response and if we receive on we will screen grab and insert that here.  We have made sure that we mention we are a A2 group and the dates that we plan on filming there. This is so that if an event comes up and the whole place is busy, they can let us know.



Post 12 - Adverts Designs

These are the scans of our Rock album advertisements designs.We have all gone for slightly different looks to make sure that we have a variety to choose from when it comes to picking our final idea. We will choose a part from every advertisement to make sure we are including everyone's work from our group. We have gone for two Photoshop designs and two drawn designs. This is so that we can see how the different media's look and within the drawings we could be more free with our designs.We have decided to try and involve the iconic monkey within our adverts as this would become an iconic figure that people would recognise with the band.
Two of the advertisements are in black and white and the other two are in colour. This is because we are not yet sure which one will look better and will reflect our genre more. We quite like the effect that black and white has on the viewer and feel it shows quite a lot of emotion which is good for a Rock band.

We have chosen to stick to the stereotypical conventions of an advertisement by making sure that we include an image of the artist, the artists name, the album name and the release date. In my poster, I have decided to include the image of a monkey as it will become very iconic within the band and will be featured in everything. I have decided to place the band members within the middle of the poster because I feel it will then draw in the audience more and will therefore be more eye catching. In the final advertisement, our group will try to include quotes from other producers or companies to help bring across the real look to our album.

Post 10 - Shooting Schedule

This is the shooting schedule that we will stick too when carrying out our music video. We have jotted down all the equipment's and props that we will need for each section to make sure that nothing is forgotten that will lead into us not being able to film on that day. We have given ourselves extra time to make sure all the shots that we need are perfect and if we do need to re-shoot we have the time necessary for this. This will also make sure that we have enough time to get the editing done in the way that we want it and to make sure our video sticks with the stereotypical conventions successfully.

Post 11 - CD Cover Design



This is Liam's CD design and he has gone with our final band name 'The Bass Monkeys'. He has decided to use a monkey mask on the album cover. This will reflect the band name and their monkey icon which will be seen on various different items. He has also chosen to go along with a black and white theme because he feels it reflects the moods and emotions of a Rock band well. His design also fits in with the stereotypical conventions because he has featured the bands faces, band name and album name all on the CD.


This is Kieran's CD album cover idea. He has gone a long with the band name 'Three Way Mile' and he has titled the album 'Atlas'. He has predominantly used the colours green red and blue as he feels these are the colours that reflect the world/earth. He has also stuck to the convention as he has shown some images of instruments within each little design.

This is my design and I have chosen to go along with the band name ' Bass Monkeys' and the CD album name 'Triple Monkey Business'. I have decided to mainly use shots of the band and their instruments because in the Rock genre they are all about their music. I have then decided to have have a shot of each band member on their own and one as a group because I feel that it is important to recognise each member individually as well as separately.

This is Andrew's design and he has gone for our overall name 'Bass Monkeys'. He has decided to base his around lots of close up shots of the band and the instruments involved. He has used just the band name within each image so that we can easily change around each shot when it is necessary as we felt we needed one idea that we can use in many different ways.

Post 8 - Lists of props, Costumes, Make-up and Equipment


The Prezi below shows all the Mise en scene that I will need to successfully stick to the stereotypical conventions of a Rock music video. It explains the different items that I need for my character and why I need them. It also includes the images so that I can have a rough idea on what my outfit is going to look like. This is so that I can make sure it fits in with all the conventions that are necessary. It also helps me to remember what equipment I will need so that I do not forget anything on the day of filming.
