Storyboard

The following drawings are the story boards for the final piece of our music video which our group has created in order for us and the audience to understand what we are after in the music video. This story board allows us to see the different camera angles and types of shots we are after and to show what we aim for.

Here is the storyboard for the ending of our music video.

Anthem Beatz Records up on Facebook.

We believe the internet is a place where everyone is able to share their thoughts and opinions on something. Because of this we decided to create a group on facebook, and add members who can leave feedback's and comments about everything Anthem Beatz Record's does.

CD Cover Inspiration.

After the amount of research we have done on the similar genre artists, in order to get an idea of what our CD Cover Artwork should look like we have found some inspiration for our artwork. When we have analysed CD Covers from our genre we discovered that they were quite funky and simple. To not break the codes and conventions of our genre, we want to be creative and simple with our CD Cover and Poster, and make them look Punk/Pop-Rock style and using Adobe Photoshop to edit them with. Below are a couple of existing CD Covers from a different genre artist, to ours that we looked at and would like to make our cover look similarly the same, but to add more of a rock theme because the 'Taylor Swift' & 'Jessica Simpson' one look more of a alternative country style theme. 'Selena Gomez and The Scene' album cover looks, much similar as the one we are thinking to create, because of the dark make up, and the rock style denim jacket she is wearing and the dark background.

When You're Gone Lyrics Analysis.

Below you can find the lyrics to our chosen song, 'When You're Gone' The main framework to this song is about being with someone you love, and you have to say goodbye, and all the little things you miss about them. The lyrics are quite upsetting and filled with sadness and heartbreak. So after doing this research, we decided that in our music video, we will keep the theme quite dark and heartbreaking, despite the fact that there will be a large amount of performance.

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you

I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
And when you're gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
And when you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too

And when you're gone
All the words I need to hear will always get me through
The day and make it ok
I miss you 

Small Changes.

During Thursday afternoon while me and my group decided to return to the classroom to work on some editing, my media teacher who taught us at AS Level, decided to come over and check the process of our music video. While she was watching what we have created so far, she believed our narrative shots didn't really relate together, and gave us a much better idea that we can use, using the same story line we picked but develop it in a less complicated way. So in our old narrative, where we had the two different story lines: Gabby's & Niall's story (Gabriella Cotton and Niall Corish) (Acting as girlfriend & boyfriend) fighting because the boyfriend cheated on her with another girl. And Holly's story (Holly Cantle), a young teenager crying over the death of her best friend. Our teacher's idea was to, try and relate the stories together such as use Holly to be the girl, Niall is cheating on Gabby with. Unfortunately, due to small major reasons, Holly wasn't up for playing this part, so I talked to a very close friend of mine and she said she would play this part. Our narrative so far is very similar to the old one, Gabby finds out that the boy she is engaged to is cheating on her with another girl called Lauren (Lauren Gage).
