Update 11

Today the group watched instructional videos on the pre-production stage, found by Joel. They were made by FilmRiot. I will include them below. We are going to begin storyboarding our ideas while we wait to hear back from the band and hopefully we'll be ahead of schedule then.

Update 10

We have now sent the prezi, containing our ideas, plans, inspirations, heart and soul to the band. Now we wait to see what they think of it. From there we will hopefully get some input from them and go from there. If they like one of our ideas then we will begin storyboarding and get filming pretty quickly.

Elbow

This, of all the songs and videos I've come across in my research, sounds the most like Ill Wind by Our Krypton Son. Elbow are a slightly heavier band but they manage the same rustic, country vibe that Chris from Our Krypton Son is always aiming for. Elbow also have an extremely indie sound that I think Chris will identify with.

This video is heavily focused on the band and their performance. If we were to use this method of filming then we would need to spend at least a day filming with the band to ensure that we get all of the shots that we need.

Demographic on bands' youtube videos
Those listening to OKS on Youtube seem to be fans of indie bands and also seem to be very loyal to their chosen band as they seem to buy the albums as soon as they come out. The comments are also always asking the band for updates on when new material will be out or when they will be on tour.

Update 9

We have finished the prezi and it is ready to be sent off to the band. This means that we should begin shooting the video soon. The band will hopefully get back to us with whichever of our ideas that they prefer and will begin storyboarding from there.

Update 8

We are now putting the finishing touches on the prezi that we are going to be sending to Our Krypton Son to pitch our ideas to them. We also included our influences and what we think they might like in the way of similar album covers. We wrote up three ideas and we have one in mind that we would rather do but we'll see which one the band chooses. Once the prezi is finished we will be delving into research on our target audience so that we can make the music video specific to that group or groups.
