Band shots

Originally, we had preferred the idea of using the band on the front cover. This would just make it that bit more personal to us. While we were at our venue doing the filming, we took the time to take some photos. However, our band had a lot of trouble standing still and there were hardly any photos of them that aren't blurred.

For this reason, we decided not to use them on the front cover.

Filming

We booked the Red Lion in Gravesend for a five hour slot. We booked it from 3pm-8pm, however, not every band member could make the whole time alloted due to work and family arrangements. This restricted our options. After contemplation we decided to film the whole band shots and close ups of Jon first, as he had to leave at 6, and then the individual shots of the other members of the band when he had left. This worked quite well.


The only problem with this venue is that we had to provide our own instruments. This didn't cause too much hassle until we realised that Tom had forgotten one of the supports of the drums from his kit. After a lot of running around and thinking of make-shift stands, he realised he didn't even hit that drum so it wouldn't make much difference. A part from these hiccups, it all ran rather smoothly.


Every one of us did some filming, and when the others weren't, we were helping direct. The boys were very cooperative and did as we asked, making the whole process a lot easier and less time consuming. Each of us put in our own input and help each other out so overall I think everyone was pleased with the footage.

Band Names

As the band we put together are not an actual band, and the song is not done by a famous artist, we had to come up with our own band name. This took a lot of time to do as it was hard to find a fitting name. These are the names we came up with:

The Riot
Revolt
Revolution
Rampage
Rage
Destruction
Disturbance
Deranged

The Band

We struggled to get a band together. James knew a band that could perform a song of theirs for us but they could only get to places around London and our venue was in Gravesend. This meant we had to get think of another option. We managed to get the actual singer of the song we have chosen and I managed to get together another three of my friends to do drums, bass and guitar. Luckily they were willing and put the effort in to learn the song in advance.
The people in our band are:

Jon
Our lead singer

Mikey
Our Guitarist

Jack

Our Bassist
Tom
Our Drummer
