The New Song

I have changed the song i am going to use and i have now decided to create a music video for the song 'EASY'
(It is a Kakuzi song, available to download on iTunes and also to listen to on myspace.)

Song Lyrics

Go easy on yourself
All the world lined up on front of you, on a windowshelf
But your toys keep falling down and down and down
You line the men up against the wall, just so you can tell yourself
This is nothing to do with me, i know it's nothing to do with me
Just played by the world to see, it really doesn't matter to me

Walk to the sound of the marching band
They said your feet move forward but you don't get around
You keep falling down and down and down
You make it easy on yourself, this is nothing to do with me
I know it's nothing to do with me, just played by the world to see
I'll march you out in to the sea

Oh.....

And all the world, they keep calling for your hand

Oh.....

It's going to be a royal blood shed, a blood shed....

Oh.....

That's nothing to do with me
No it's nothing to do with me
It's played the world to see
It really doesn't matter to me

New Idea

My new idea is not entirely different to my previous one. I am still keeping within the same genre, same band, and same style. I am however changing the song i am using, it is still a Kakuzi song, however i am going to make out that it is more a solo artist single release rather than a new band release.

I am doing this because my brother (the lead guitarist) left the band and therefore it is extremely difficult to arrange times we can practise, and perform together. He is also a university student therefore his schedule also causes problems when it comes to my planning.

It is going to be based on Sam Yoneda being a new song writer, and this is his first ever single release. It is a Kakuzi song and therefore i am going to have them as featuring artists in it, which would also help promote them as a new band.
This will be useful when it comes to creating a webpage as this can also include information on them giving the audience a much wider choice on what they wish to know.
I think this may actually work better for my work, as it is a much simpler idea and i believe will fit in to the codes and conventions of this genre a lot better.

Complete restart!

Kakuzi have recently lost their lead guitarist and therefore i am unable to work with them for my A2 media project, therefore i am going to have to come up with another idea. I would like to keep within the rock genre of music videos though.

Billboard Advert

I decided to do a billboard advert for the EP release asi thought it fitted better with the fact i had also chosen to create a EP DVD release for Kakuzi. I used a different image in order to not make it too repetitive and also give the band a look as in the other image you do not see their faces. I adjusted the contrast in the images in order to make their appearance slightly mysterious.
Although i know as a new band it is key to get your audience to recognise you, but i thought in doing this it would attract the audience to research more in to this band and perhaps search them on the internet leading to the findings of their facebook and myspace pages.
I thought as they already have a myspace page, facebook page, and website i thought it was not necessary for me to create my own and therefore i created this Billoard advert to compliment exisiting promotional material for the band.
