Point 38: Process of the website

-
Creating a new website and having to stick to one specific video that does not exist yet, was quite a challenge for me. I have the colour palette and video visually in front of my eyes, however, I do not have the finished product from which I can check if what I do is correct. 
First I used several different website templates from the category "Musician" and tried to turn them into my website. This took a really long time and after hours I realised that this template was just not working for me so I picked a new one. This happened exactly 4 times until I gave templates up and created a website from scratch. This was much easier than I imagined and ended up having more fun organising and adding what I want than trying and adapting my ideas into an already existing template. 

After putting everything in place on the homepage I turned to the other web pages such as "ABOUT", "GALLERY" and "SHOP". A lot of back and forth went into these pages. The reason for that is simply that in the middle of the progress I got a whole new idea to represent the different target audiences on the website. It took a while for me to be fully satisfied with the outcome, a lot of re-adjusting and re-placing went into this. In the end, I also changed the font style and tried to match this with the theme for each webpage. I do think I did a decent job with this idea. 

I wanted to make my website more "busy", especially on the sides and because I am a fan of astronauts I found some cute stickers about astronauts, so I added them to the sides, keeping in mind that they have to match the specific webpage. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel that the astronauts put an extra personal trait to the website. They also compliment the pages more and help to set the vibe. 

The last step required Grammarly. I wrote the texts I wanted to use for my website and pasted these on the web pages as soon as I corrected them. For the text about the artist, I wanted to go in a different direction. I love telling stories and putting a nice plot to them. I combined this with each other and came up with a text that is written like a story but still makes clear that this is about the artist and their life. 

In the end, I created the policies and use of data links at the bottom of the page. I linked them up with Sony's website pages that explain these and put the Sony Music Group logo below as well.

*NEW* Point 7: Things to consider - what I want to include

-

 We got introduced to "Things to consider"  a few lessons ago and now we have to think about what three points we want to include in our music video.  In today's lesson, we talked about Enigma , which basically means that a lot of questions are open. For example David Guetta feat. Sia "Titanium": What happened at school? Where were his parents? and so on. Or, in other words: the whole music video is a mystery. Many unanswered questions, and maybe even do not make sense to some, but also leave a big space for the viewer's imagination. Example: The next thing to consider, that I want or need to include, is lighting. Lighting is going to be the main key to settling the mood for the music video and keeping the vocal point in focus. Lighting helps a lot to concentrate on the main part of a clip or scene and, like I said before, it can change the emotions throughout the scenes. A good example of that is Billie Eilish's "lovely" and "bad guy...

Point 6: Past videos from The Killers

  Three videos and why I like them I researched the Artist "The Killers" and watched a few music videos from the past. For this task I am going to chose three videos that I like and state why they caught my interest.  The Killers - Human The reason why I like the music video for "Human" so much, is because they never left the colour scheme they went for. It was all gold, yellow-ish with black and white. Furthermore, I like the idea of putting short films about different animals in the video. It gives of a brave vibe.  The Killers - Smile like you mean it Another music video that I really like. It is especially the editing and camerawork that has caught my attention. The camera work makes it feel like a little movie, while the editing gives off a kind of supernatural style. Eventhough the editing does not really change throughout the video, they kept it interesting by making it messy and going wild with it, trying new things. The Killers - When you were young T...
