Website Progress

Now that I've decided on a house style for the overall package, I've started work on the website. The home page looks a little bland at the moment, but after getting all the footage from the music video shoot, I could add an animated background like Oasis' band website.

Update 16/01/17:

Using the photos I took in between takes today, I was able to edit some of the photos, and start a gallery for the homage. I also added in a dark grey strip to make the band name stand out more. 



Update 25/1/17:

I've set this as the main background for the website. I've also added in the band logo and added in a news section in the lower part of the page.

Best music videos of all time?

I've come across a few online articles when searching for the best music videos of all time, using ratings from NME, timeout and Billboard I've complied a short list of the music video that are considered to be the best of all time. Interestingly the music videos I've looked at are all completely different in concept and type.  Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit Influence for the look of the video came from the 1979 film, Over The Edge.

At the end of the filming, Kurt Cobain suggested letting the extras wreck the set. Bayer, the director, agreed and the destruction at the end of the music video occurred. Kurt didn't like the director's cut, so he personally watched over the re-edit, which is the final version. Amy Finnerty, who had only just joined the music programming department at MTV, campaigne...

Stuart Hall's Reception Theory

Stuart Hall's Reception Theory states in its simplest form that: NO MEDIA TEXT HAS ONE SIMPLE MEANING The audience themselves help to create the meaning of the text. We all decode the texts that we encounter in different ways as result of our life experiences. Reception analysts have found that factors, such as gender, our place in society, and the context of the time we are living in can impact massively on our meaning of media text. Even though the makers of the media text encode it with their own life experiences, audiences may decode it in a different way. Hall identified three types of audiences reading messages: 1) Dominant -How the producer wants the audience to view the media text 2) Negotiated - Accepts parts of the producer's view and their own 3) Oppositional - Rejects the preferred reading and creates their own meaning of the media text
