The Moonbootia Website

Moonbootica is the name of the people who make the beats in our chosen music video, but not the artist, they are the produces of the sounds.  This is a overview of their website, just for me to know a little more about my genre.

This is the homepage of the website. On the homepage it has some of their tracks, the list of their upcoming shows, and on the left hand side there is a list of communication posts, where the band have communicated with their fans.

 

This is the Moonbootica news page. This page is to keep the fans up to date with what is happening. On the left there is an interview of one of the band members. On the left is the booking agency for the fans.

On the page named clips, are video's of different things. You can find some video's with the tracks on there, and some of their music video's. If you scroll down pretty much all of their latest songs are on that page.

 On the page named releases, there is a list of all their new album releases. If you scroll down they are all there, but that's not just it, it also has a brief bit of information about the album. Also there are the dates of release as well, so their fans know when to collect or order an album.

 On the dates page, there is a huge long list of concert dates, and venues, and addresses. This is a very helpful page if someone wants to book a ticket for a concert, they will know all the details.

In the charts it has got information about when they have been most successful, they were in the top ten twice, and in August they came first.

Costume Designs

 

After my research into gothic/punk fashion I decided to draw my own. Thinking about the two characters in our music video, the main singer, and of course the female who is a big part of him, they both have similar fashion sense, and I have decided to draw them both out. I designed costumes, props for both characters for our music video. When designing these costumes, I had one thing in mind, which I made careful of. I took more care and focused on our main artist's appearance, and clothing to make sure it is clear that he is the one who is meant to stand out, the one with a stronger image. So here is a picture of my drawings, of both characters in our music video, obviously our main singer is the male. 

Band Marketing

Today I researched into band marketing. Obviously, it would matter on the institution group to how they exhibit their music video's. But here are some marketing techniques used:

Website: Almost every band/artist has their own official website. Usually with a dates for concerts and tours and so on. This helps their products become more popular.

Online: Marketing is also done through Twitter,Myspace,Facebook,Youtube,Google+,Free download,Itunes,Blog,Tumblr.

Press:  posters,billboards,Flyers,Magazines,Interviews, Newspaper articles,Tabloid gossip stories,fundraising events.



Examples of press:


Radio:  Radio Interviews,Songs played on the radio.

Concerts & cinema marketing examples


Merchandise Marketing 



Tv:  Live performances,music channels,charity shows or events,MTV,VIVA,The one show,Loose women.
 

Here is a whole playlist on Itunes of the band named Seether. Here I have downloaded the album, and since many people have Itunes, fans will get a hold of their favourite bands music, which means the budget of the band will go up, and they will get more and more well-known.

Here is a shot of  two artists youtube channels. As you can see both are very popular on Youtube, and these views go up everyday. So therefore, Youtube is a really successful way of marketing an artist or a band. Each channel has a cover image of the star, as well as a whole playlist of all their latest music videos. This way people will be able to watch new videos and decide wether they want to purchase their album or not.
