More on The Crimson Cucumber...

In yesterdays lesson we looked more on our mood boards and the style in which we want it to be in. We have a lot of ideas at the moment and are aiming to do them all. The advantage we have is the song is over 4 minutes, so compared to all our latest films/filming that is a lot longer to have. Which will hopefully let us get all the styles/ ideas.

Will upload the mood board soon so can explain all the ideas.
one of the ideas came from the coldplay video- strawberry swing. I think coldplay have really good videos as don't stick the conventions or have a particular style- they like to be unique and different for every song.

14th September.. start of music videowork

Creation of band.

Im going to be working with Rebecca Hammond in this project.

Name of band - We had a bit of trouble thinking of the name and wasnt set on coming up with one today.However we did start to think about name and wanted something original and with an edge on it. Plucking names and putting together was just a silly way to start- but it came up with some good names. One we like was The Crimson Cucumbers. We are going to go ahead and stick to it.

The Crimson Cucumbers - 3 members - one main singer who is male. Two musicians- girl on keyboard, male on drums.

Back story- Meet in a uni, started with open mic nights. Got a small fan base which grew through the use of Myspace. Word got to an independant record label where they produced there first 2 singles.

Ideology- Dont agree with manafactured mainstreampop. Likes to be independant and unique band. Their main audience is late teens/ 20s. There a laid back attiude band and have an interest in Art and Music world.

Look- Smart/casual. Girls dress in insentric and quirky.

Record label - island records
