As well as are main project (the music video) we have to do two auxiliary tasks that link into it. One of which being a magazine advert for the band, hence the test shots of the light graffiti on the guitar, further down the blog. The other being a website for the band. We have started to design some of the aspects that we will incorporate into the finished product, mainly in the form of layout and structure. To do this we looked at a cross section of different styles of music and artists, and their websites.

We looked at these artists and found out that the same layout is kept throughout, with some exceptions

Most of the time they use a bar along the top with links to other aspects of the website. These include videos, images, tour dates and normally some form of fan club where people can register and keep track of whoever it is they are following. So we intend to keep the conventional style of website structure and include some of these aspects into our own work.
Also these websites include a lot of imagery rather than text, so that is also we will try and imitate in our website.

So we are thinking about using the Snorri cam. We think this will be a really good technique and will give our music video a new dimension and will link in with our intended dreamlike feel we are trying to create. This video was just something I found when I was reasearching how we could create this technique ourselves. God bless youtube.
