For this project, my group and I had to pick a genre, and we decided to punk rock. The song that we chose was "The Righteous One" by the Orwells. Then we had to conduct research on two music production companies. We began searching for a band that stood out for us. Once we found a band that interested us, we then started to find and obtain information from the record label that owns them. After we found a record label to research then we had to find a song that was from the same record label to complete the two case studies for the company. Next, we did the same process to complete and fill out the chart for the second company. The first record label was Disconnect Disconnect Records which included the bands The Lonely Surf, and Winning Streak. The second company was Island Records, and the two bands that we used from the record label were The Killers and U2.
The challenges that we faced were trying to find record labels that included our genre, punk rock. However, that did not discourage us from moving forward. After consistently trying to find music production companies we got the idea to find a punk rock band first and then discover the record label that owned the band that interested us. Another challenge that my group came upon was trying to decide the type of music video that we would promote. Moreover, the biggest challenge would probably be figuring out when we could organize how to complete this project since my group all have different schedules. This is a problem because we needed all group members to be present to record our music video. Even though it took us quite some time to modify our schedules to figure out when we could film eventually we decided to split the 4 group members into two groups of two so that we could find time for all of us to participate in the filming. Reeves and I were neighbors so we decided that we will film a part of the music video, while Mathias and Francisco filmed other scenes of the video.
Now we are currently planning the filming of the music video. For example, in the screenshot shown below it shows the order, angles, and different types of shots that we will be creating during the film days. Another step that we will take next is completing our PowerPoint because it will help and guide us through our presentation of our marketing and distribution campaign. In addition, we also plan to record our voices so that it is heard in our presentation. Moreover, my group and I have to create enough slides in order to complete the limit for the 15-minute presentation. We also plan to not fill out our slides with too much text, so that it won't overwhelm the audience. Instead, we will edit our slides to just have bullet points.
