Filming day 2


Hi guys, so today we filmed for the second time, it is not half term so we thought today would be the perfect opportunity to have a productive day with no distractions, today we filmed at Eloise's house, we chose this location due to the fact she has a spare bedroom, which is currently being redecorated so the floor was stripped to the original wooden floorboards, which was the effect we had wanted in the first place, and also it had a dark purple wall. This meant that we would be able to do the green screen effect, without the actual green screen.
We filmed for around 4 hours from 10am-2pm, and we had a very productive day. This time we did have to book out the equipment, where we used a DSLR and a Tripod, the rest we had access to ourselves, such as the chair and the clothes which Eloise was going to be wearing, for these shots we went for two different looks, one was a distressed and upset look, where she wore a hoodie, with her hair up and make-up smudged, and the second look was in a dress with her make-up and hair perfectly in place which represented the control she had over herself in contrast with the other look. We thought this would be very affective to switch between, and we hope you also agree when you see the finished product, however I don't want to give too much away right now!


We filmed a range of shots, in 3 different moods/settings, when we took each shot we then repeated it in the different mood/clothing/make-up, which meant we have plenty of shots to work with when editing. For example, when we filmed a close up of Eloise with the distressed look, we then repeated it with the other costume, we did this for every shot.
These shots have lip syncing throughout, therefore we thought it was best for Eloise to sing the whole song through during every shot, and although this was time consuming we know it will work in our favour as we will face much less errors with matching the clips up with the song during the editing process.


Today's filming has filled us with many more ideas for the next filming session, and I can't wait till we can place all the documents onto the school computers and come up with what other ideas we need. I think the filming is going well so far, and we will see what the result is once half term break is over!


One problem which we did encounter during todays filming process was, due to the fact that the bedroom was being completely redecorated there were no curtains, this meant that the light was getting in and effecting the quality of shots, and also how the background looked in different places on the wall. This meant it would have caused major problems when it came to the green screen effect if we hadn't noticed it when we did. To fix this issue, we used a hammer, blanket and safety pins, we then had to hammer the blanket into the wall to ensure no unwanted light was getting in and effecting the quality of our filming.
I have attached the image below of the location of our studio:

Marketing

Hey guys! Today I am going to focus on the marketing of our company. Marketing is a very important aspect. Promotional strategies and marketing go hand in hand. Marketing our company and artists will involve different aspects of manufacturing, promoting and selling the artists and our company products to the target market. In order to benefit from audiences to the best we can, we have to first of all understand the target market we are entering. Having a solid and well-thought-out marketing plan can help you identify gaps in the music industry and provide feasible solutions for your clients. Understanding what our customers want and are missing is essential in the business. The 4 P's are the most important  part in the marketing process: Product - The product is going to be our artist herself, Sav (played by Eloise) and the album/music she creates. In many ways this can be seen as not only providing a product for consumers, but also a service, Music i...

Salt sisters join Instagram

Hi guys! We have recently joined Instagram to further adapt to our fan base for our artists, and constantly let it grow. I have researched some statistics for you to see, Instagram has massively grown over the years and these statistics prove that marketing on Instagram is a smart move: Instagram has over 500 million active monthly users Instagram users have shared over 40 billion photos to date and share an average of 95 million photos and videos per day. The amount of users which Instagram has enables us to reach a huge audience with our artists and products, allowing the growth of each artist to take their own pathway on social media. It allows us to reach a new audience in a way that the audience wants to be marketed to, using visuals and short messages. Instagram pictures provide a collage, giving the audience a much richer insight into the story of our artist 'Savannah' and also our company itself 'SaltSisters'. Instagram enables us to promote everyt...

Salt Sisters join Twitter

  Hello everyone, you can now follow us on our twitter page @Saltsisters11. We have purposely made our twitter and Instagram usernames the same, this is a marketing ploy in order for our customers to have much easier access to our original pages, in order to keep up to date on the important information of new upcoming artists and new song releases. Did you know that social media marketing has a 100% higher lead-to-close rate than outbound marking? Or that 84% of B2B marketers use social media in some form? No Matter what you sell or who you sell it to, using social media as a marketing tool can help you grow your brand/company. Whys is social media important? It is seen that a brand doesn't really exist online if you're not represented across all social channels, and regularly interacting with followers, and journalists who cover the industry you're in, in this scenario the music industry. This is why we are going to be using our twitter to target, re-target and ...
