Axillary: Social Media Page

We have created social media to put links onto our official website. This is because our target audience is young adults and social media is a big part of their daily lives. We also thought it would be a good idea for fans to get close to the band.

Production: Editing Music video

We have started to edit the footage we got yesterday and adding effects over the top to create the "indie rock band" look. By starting with the logo it will create a band identity for the audience. 

Production: Axillary Task's - Website Editing

We used the smoke as a very large image on our website to link to our music video and the digi pack. This is also a common convention used by indie rock artists. Its very edgy and adds a simplistic feel.

Production: Axillary - Website Editing

We have started on our website project. We have sorted the basic layout and navigation of the website, but we still need to insert band images. We have chosen to go with the black & white theme as indie rock bands tend to have very dark simplistic colours to create a retro effect.

Production: Filming

During filming I decided to take some photos and then edit them so they were in black and white. Therefore we could get a feel of what the final product is going to look like.

Production: Final Band Logo

This is the final logo we have created for our band. It also links to our own blog logos, so their was a link between them. We also thought by writing Fuse backwards it makes it look indie and alternative. 

Production: America Filming

We are starting now to focus on editing our clips together. Holly took some footage in America and we are starting to put it into Final cut. We also are starting to change the clips into black and white, and altered the exposure and the brightness on some of the clips.  This will help to ensure continuity throughout the clips.
Black and white is an effect that we have chose to have running throughout our music video. This is due mainly to the indie rock genre, which is known for using effects to 'age' the film.
