Initial Ideas

The group will be using the song "Blinding" by Florence & the Machine

Analysis of Results

So the results show that the RnB genre is the most popular, and Indie coming in second. Also, the results show that people watch music videos on TV rather than Youtube, which was unexpected. Also, the bar graph indicates that 90% of the people we questioned watch music videos everyday, and it was 50/50 with what people like about music videos, abstract and the performance.

Results

Questionnaire

This is the questionnaire I had used to conduct the study.

Brief

The task I have been set is to create a "promotional package" for the release of an album, and to include a music promo video together with two of the three options:

- Website homepage for the band/artist
- Design a album cover for the band
- Magazine advert for the band/album

The aim is to create your own artist, and using the original song, but recreate the artist for the music video.

Island Records research

Rough Trade Records research

(insert rought trade picture)

Rough Trade Records is an independent record label based in London. It started in 1978 by Geoff Travis. The label grew out from Rough Trade Shop in West London after records found in North America and shipped back to the UK and then became independent in 1982 but went bankrupt in 1991 and re-launched in 2000. Rough Trade specialised in European post-punk and other alternative rock.
Many bands are signed to this record label, a wide variety. Arcade Fire, The Libertines, The Moldy Peaches, Mystery Jets and The Strokes are signed.
