6TH OF JANUARY SHOOT\celtx

This shoot was a re-shoot of the first band performance shoot as after feedback we felt we needed to make some changes to the style of the performance and the choreography. The feedback we received showed us that we need to tighten the band together to give a sense of unity that the band needed . also the lighting needed to be improved with these things in minded we re-shoot the sequences of the band performance.

MAGAZINE ADVERT

This is our magazine advert for the band. The shot shows the band in a playfully happy position fitting in with the elements consistent with music video itself. Also the background pattern is one used on the digipack so gives level of cross platform consistency. The image of the televisions directly behind the band is one used in the video so adds to the connection with the music video and the other media.
also the image of the band playing with the scaletrix is one that fits with the video stylized but playfully theme.

SCALEXTRIC SHOOT

one of the key features to the maccabees videos is a sense of playfulness used in there music videos, for example in the music video "latchmere" .
 In own chosen song "precious time" the lyrics it makes reverest to playing Scalextric:

                "take me down to light the box and play super Scalextric"

Therefore we are planning to shoot an sequence of a scalextric (a electric toy car) going around a track. This will be a different style of shot compared to the elements of color and highly stylized. We will use the shot to break up the performance and high concept shots. I have been researching techniques and styles of shooting car sequences for inspiration for our shoot.

this is our group setting up Scalextric shoot
 The themes of this shoot link really well with the noughts and crosses shoot.
