2nd day of filming- Jacks house

We filmed at Jacks today, we got there at 6pm with everything being set up by 7pm we began. We were told they had to finish up at 8pm or around then so we needed, almost, to rush.
They had a new guitar player to our surprise, and the guitarist had brought his younger brother who wanted to do some promo shots of the band. So this room being fairly small had 5 members of the band, a photographer, and Charlie and I filming. Overall 8 of us in this tiny room.

Chris helped bring the equipment over, and then later went before we began filming.
With 2 lights in the room too, they were awfully hot and we had to really pay attention to health and safety as we wanted to be moving them around. There were plenty of wires dragged around the floor. Being a band that jumps around and moves about, most definitely fast paced, we had to be wary of them tripping over, breaking themselves, or equipment.

We decided that getting the new guitarist in wasn't too important as he hasn't been mentioned anywhere else, although we still we be putting him in the video, yet there won't be any information about him, and the past promo shots have been without him, the professionally ones.

We got all the footage we needed to edit, and it turns out we'll take about 5 shots from those two 25 minute videos because they didn't have time to sync the physical playing to the actual song, we so had to do this at a later date. The shots were good but rare, and we got the odd one which we thought would really help symbolise the genre.
We now have a plan for our next filming date in which we have too place the band ourselves, in a particular position so we can easily film them, and get particular shots of them without being too messy, and altogether we'll get twelve sturdy shots of the band.

Graph results of music genre question

From the chart above, it shows the genre of music on the left, of which there are twelve, and along the bottom are the number of people that chose each genre, altogether we gave the questionnaire to 25 people.
General pop, and pop punk seem to be the most popular amongst the few people we asked. We would decipher pop as the mainstream chart music, whereas pop punk music are bands such as Sum 41 and New Found Glory, which are interestingly fairly old bands.

On the graph those of which don't have a bar at all meant that 0 people preferred that genre. Each person was only allowed one vote, but now we think maybe 2 would have given us a more varied bar graph.
Our pop promo is being based on a hardcore band, now we did purposely stray away from people we assumed would like this genre, hence the result on the graph only being one. So we aren't sceptical about our video being popular, we know people that enjoy this genre. We though including this question although vague may give us a good idea of what the possible audience like. Considering pop punk was joint top I think this gives us an advantage.

One of the questions in the questionnaire was- what does the hardcore genre mean too you?
A lot of people we asked came up with the sensible answers we were praying for. Ideally at this day and age, hardcore is a completely different thing too people of an older generation, but sometimes not even that, people in their twenties and upwards have adapted to what hardcore is at this time. Hardcore as I've mentioned before has been popular during the time of facist yet as time went on the Hardcore used to be a genre of dance music, the kind of music that would be played when you went 'clubbing'. Many albums are still and have been released which is for example called a 'hardcore compilation' which is composed of all the mainstream DJ's and artist to do with dance/techno/trance, in a hardcore way.

I came up with the idea of going onto google, and typing 'Hardcore music' into the search engine, funnily enough the first link was a wikepedia link describing the genre.

• Hardcore, also known as hardcore punk, a sub-genre of punk rock music
• Hardcore techno, a style of electronic music

Another one of the questions featured in the questionnaire was:
Do you prefer a pop promo with narrative (more of a storyline) OR A performance (i.e. dance routine)

For this question, the people were split into two. The answer of 'a performance' had one more vote than the other. So generally they were liked as much as each other. Our video contains a bit of both, maybe not so much a dance routine, but a live performance, it gave us hope that not every video needs to be neat with a continuous story throughout.
We asked why one might prefer a video with performance, their answers were that it shows that artist/band for who they really are. Shows that the band/artist have real energy. They liked the fact that the whole video isn't acted and scripted, as if the band got to really choose what they wanted in the video rather than going by standard strict guidelines.

As for having a promo with a narrative people referred to sad videos mostly, which made us think that when there is a storyline within most videos it is a majority of the time quite sad, as it may be easier to portray a sad story through a video. Also if it were a more en lighting video they would probably include more of a performance. The people we asked enjoyed having a storyline in the video because they felt it could be something they can relate too.
