Lyrics

(0:00) Instrumental Intro (1:01) (61 seconds)

(1:01) Nightmare! (1:05) (4 seconds)

(1:05) (Now your nightmare comes to life) (1:10) (5 seconds)

(1:10) Dragged you down below down to the devil’s show,
To be his guest forever,
Peace of mind is less than never (1:18)
(8 seconds)

(1:18) Hate to twist your mind, but God ain’t on your side
An old acquaintance severed,
Render of your last endeavor (1:25) (7 seconds)

(1:25) Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head,
You’re now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger! (1:42) (17 seconds)

(1:42)You should have known
The price of evil,
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Ooooh, it’s your fuckin’ nightmare(2:02) (20 seconds)

(2:02) While your nightmare comes to life (2:08) (6 seconds)

(2:08) Can’t wake up in sweat, cause it ain’t over yet,
Still dancing with your demons,
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight,
Where all that’s wrong is right
where hate don’t need a reason
Love is self-assassination (2:22) (14 seconds)

(2:22) You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight,
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
Give in with your best intentions
Help ya with your complications (2:39) (17 seconds)

(2:39) You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
Ooooo it’s your fuckin’ nightmare ha ha ha ha!! (3:16) (37 seconds)

(3:16) Instrumental (4:02) (46 seconds)

(4:02) (ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha) (4:04)
(2 seconds)

(4:09) Fight, fight, not to fail, fail
Not to fall, fall anekatips
Or you’ll end up like the others. (4:16)
(7 seconds)

(4:16) Die, die, die again, die
Drenched in sin, sin
With no respect for another (4:18) (2 seconds)


(4:18) Oh! (4:19) (1 second)

(4:35) Death, You!
Feel the fire, fire
Feel the hate, hate
Your pain is what we desire.
Lost, lost, hit the wall, wall
Watch you crawl, crawl
Such a replaceable liar. (4:49) (14 seconds)

(4:49) And I know you hear their voices
(calling from above),
And I know they may seem real
(these signals of love),
But a life’s made up of choices
(some without appeal), (5:12) (23 seconds)

(5:13) They took for granted your soul
And it’s ours now to steal (5:20)
(7 seconds)

(5:22) As your nightmare comes to life (5:26) (4 seconds)

(5:26) You should have known the price of evil
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
No one to call, everybody to fear
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah.
Ooooo it’s your fuckin’ nightmare ha ha ha ha!! (6:03) (37 seconds)

(6:03) Ending (6:18) (15 seconds)

Research Into Genre

Thursday, 9 September 2010

Album Advert



Typical Conventions
  • Band Name
  • Album Name
  • Record Company Name
  • Release Date
  • Images of the album cover/ images that relate to the album
  • Any other special releases of the album e.g. Deluxe Edition
  • Band Logo
  • Reviews
  • Bonus Tracks
Conventions They Have In Common
  • Band Name
  • Album Name
  • Album Cover or related image/colour scheme

I would categorise them by genre and the fans that follow the bands.


The image used in this poster is the same picture which is used as the album cover. The image takes up the entire poster as it is used as the background for the poster. This image is used to attract the audience because it is a very colourful image, but it is also used so that when the album is released its target audience will actually be able to found it in a store, because they have become so related to the album cover before its released. The text in the poster is white so that it can stand out from the background, so that the audience and clearly read the information. The name of the band is in large text so that people instantly know who the poster belongs too and to attract the target audience. The white of the text matches the colour scheme of the background image as when you think of wave and the see we often think of blue and white, white being the end of the waves. We also know that the album is self titled because of the large band name which is followed by no text showing us the artists name and album name. The image shows us that the artists bout me more underground than mainstream as it is not made to appeal to everyone. The image in the background has become a signature of the band.

Album Analysis








Typical Feature of an album cover

Artist name
Album name
Image of the artist/band logo
Parental advisory sticker if needed
Album Art
Usually a lot of colour

Most of these album have images of the band on them in one way or another. The avenged Sevenfold one uses drawing of the band. The Atreyu one uses album art on its cover which is typical of the this band. They all use the name of the artist on the album cover. The band is one way or another the focus of the albums. They all use quiet bright colours.
The album covers I have chosen can be categorised by genre because they are all from different genres. The album are distinct from each other at they represent there genre through specifically chosen elements, the albums also represent the type of fan which would follow these artist. Another way to catogerise them is by the number of album meaning how many albums where released before each album, the albums show specific elements showing this one of the albums is titles ‘the best of’ showing there are roughly 3 album released before it and one is a self name album meaning it uses the name of the artist as the album name, this shows that it is the first album released by the artist.

The purpose of these albums is to attract their audiences by using typically elements which represents there audience and appeal to there interests. They also try to attract new audiences by making the album stand out above the rest of the albums to entice people to listen to them. It could also be used to create a fan base when releasing album so they try to make them selves seem real and not distant them selves from listeners by trying to show there fame more than there personality.

Detailed Analysis




Front

The image on the front is a cartoon style of the band, this fits into the genre of the band who are a kind of rock/metal band who use there own style of music mixing with punk and metalcore genres. This represents the genre because it is quite a dark cover with the skeletons on the screen and dirty water although they use brighter colours, which are not often used in metal bands truly showing that they are a mixed genre band. It also reflects the band as the characters are made to represent the band by adapting the hairstyles and clothing styles of each member and adding their instruments.

The positioning of the band and the positioning of the background looks like the band is performing to a live audience this represents the nature of the album it is a live album so this gives the sense of it being live.

The bands name is in a large font at the top left hand corner and it is then followed by the title name directly beneath. It is in large text so it is clearly visable to the audience. The colour of the text is in a similair colour shceme to the album cover as it uses a similair green for the name of the band as is used in the background image.

The parental advisory badge in the corner shows the audience that there may be material that people may find offensive, this is common on albums of this genre.

The DVD badge shows that in side there is a live DVD of the band performing this album, the title also mentions that the band are performing live in the LBC so you would expect to see a DVD.

Along with the title saying that the and are performing live in the LBC it also mentions that you are getting “diamond in the rough” this shows the audience that they are getting two DVDs in the package.

The back of the album is similiar to the front of the album as the image of the mucky water from the front of the album is carried out on to the back. we also see the image of the singers cartton arm which also carries on from the front of the album so that when it is open is creates a full image.

The art of the drawing is the band signiture, this allows the audience to relate to album and know that it is an official album by the band.

the style of the album cover shows that the band are more of an underground grunge band and shows that they are not a mainstream band.

This album shows that the audience maybe be teenagers who may dress in dark colours and listen to grunge music. We see this in the way that the band are dressed and the colour scheme used in the art work.

Video Analysis

Sin City



I first uploaded the green screen footage which i wanted to edit.





I then copied the the footage i then pasted it in another layer above the previous footage, i then inverted the footage so that it became negative.




In a similiare way that i edited the green screen footage, i used the chromer keyer to get rid of the all the green screen by keying it out using the keyer settings. I then used the colour tool to select the colour that i wanted to keep.




I then used a colour key so that i could key out the other colours apart from my selected colours.

green screen




Before starting the green screen i had to open up FinalCut and then import a clip to start editing. I shortened the clip by using the mark in button to select the start of the clip i then used the mark out button to show where i wanted the clip to end. I then had to crag the clip into them time line at the bottom.



Once the clip had successfully moves into the time at the bottom, i then had to render the clip so i could edit the green screen and also so i could view it in the review window. To start editing the slip i had the place the little bar in the middle of the clip on the time line to make sure that i hat the clip selected. I then had to double clip the clip so that it went purple. Once i had done this i then had to locate chroma keyer so i could begin to key the green out. To locate this you have to go on effects, then down to video filters, then down to key and click on chroma keyer.


When chroma keyer had loaded i had to take a sample of the green from the green screen once i had done this i had to use the colour spectrum to make sure i had selected hr right types of green so it would be easier to key more green out. I then used the sateration key and dragged the guides to either end of the spectrum. I also used the Luma key i used this in the same way i used the sateration. I also used the soften button so smooth out the black. At the end of this all the green should have gone and the background should all be black.


This is what the background should look like after all the green has been keyed out. After successfully getting rid of all the green screen i then had to render the video so that i could edit it further.


Once the video had been rendered i could then add an image or video clip to the video to use a background for the video. I inserted a picture of a waterfall to use a the back drop for the video, I had to make sure that the image was a jpeg image before adding it to the video. I had to drag the image in to the time line and place it in the layer below the video so that it would appear behind the clip. I then had to cut the image with the razor button so that it was the same length as the video clip and then i had to render it so i could view it.

Warhol



Firstly I opened up Adobe Photeshop and pasted the image of my self into photoshop.





I then used the burn tool and used it on the image, after that i change the contrast of the picture.





I then selected the colour tint affect and used it on the image, i then also used another effect from the artistic section so creat my final warhal image. I reapeated this four times and changes the colours. I then shrunk them all down and place in a square shape to create a true warhol style.

Lip Sync


To start my lip sync task i had to upload the video clips that i had captured into final cut, i also then imported to music track i had used. I then dragged the music track into the time line below so that i could then start to add the video clips.


I then dragged the video clip into the time line so i could then begin to match up the video slip to the sound so i could get it in sync. I used the lock button next to the time line so that i could lock to music track so that it didn't move while i was editing the video clips and so i didn't slice the music when trimming the video clips.


I then clicked the clip over lays so that i could see the sound wave so that i could match the clips to the song easier to make sure that the video clips where matched up correctly. i then placed more clips in to the time line so that i could have a longer video so that it represented a music video.

Opie



To create the opie i first uploaded the image of my self into Adobe Photoshop. I then Selected the magnetic ereaser and drag it around my self in the image and around the out side of the background. I then dleted the background so that i could replace it with a solid colour.



I repeated the cutting process with the seperate feature of my self in the video and copied them into seperate layers, i then coloured in each feature with the pait buck and paint brush tool, this was to create a cartoon affect but using the same colours.



I then selected the pencil tool and drew on specific feature such as my jaw line. After doin that with all the layers i then selected to view them all and i then saved this image.
