Artist pitch – Guillotine from harry arnold

Test Footage

Here is the footage from my original narrative idea. I was happy with how the footage came out and it was all in focus and very clear. A number of camera shots were also used.  However, once I had added this footage to the performances footage I noticed that they clashed. This was due to the editing style of the performance footage being very psychedelic and VHS looking and this footage being to clear and clashing colour wise. This inspired me to change the narrative to something a little darker colour wise but also including neon colours. I will now change the narrative to something looking like a 'rock and roll' night out in London including lots of quick shots of things relating the stereotypical rock and roll lifestyle.

Production Log

Here is the production log for my filming. This will probably be added to through out the weeks due to re shoots and new ideas being brought to mind.

Magazine Advert

Here is the first draft of my magazine advert.  I used a different image to the front cover for the main image of the poster. I placed the front cover in the right hand corner of the ad with the bands logo in the upper centre of the ad. I added a release date along with the places you can listen to the album on streaming services online. This is show proper where the album can be brought/listened  to. The record label is also on the bottom left of the ad to show people who the album is being released by and this can hint to people what the albums sound may be like.

Here is the first draft of my digipak. I chose the location for the photos as brick walls and suburban areas are conventional for the grunge rock genre. I edited the images on photoshop by inverting the colours and adjusting the colour balance to achieve a psychedelic look.

Artist biography

Guillotine are a grunge rock band from South East London that formed in January  2013. They consist of Sid Rivers (vocals and guitar), Dom Chehal (bass) and Tom Ross (drums). The band were formed when Rivers met Chehal at a party and they discovered they had a love of grunge and other forms of rock and metal music. The two began jamming songs together and eventually begin writing their own songs. During this process they met Ross and they wrote their first EP together. On the 8th June 2013 the band played their first gig at the Hope and Anchor  in Islington. From here they began gigging as often as they could, building a fan base and self releasing their first EP. In the 2014 signed a three album contract with roadrunner records. They chose this label as they allowed them to have complete creative control and they liked other bands on the label. The band’s sound has been described as a modern take on 90’s grunge music. They dress like a 90’s grunge band and love being on tour getting to play gigs around the world. The band are due to release their debut album on Roadrunner Records late 2016 along with two singles and music videos to correspond and help promote the album.

Mood Board

Here is my mood board. This shows of things that can represent my artist. This includes items of fashion that are synonymous with my artist, and activities that the artist would take part in. Also the instruments used by the band are shown which can give an understanding in to the type of music the band play.
