B207 – 210 Music Marketing Unit Guide
Filed under: Agenda's, Production Materials, The Heathenz, Theory |
Leave a Comment B207-210 Music Marketing Project
This assignment requires you to devise a marketing strategy for a musical act of your choice. While the central focus of this project will be a music video of a single track of your chosen performer(s), you should consider and realise a supporting web presence which will be designed and developed in your Web Production sessions with Matt Collins.
The stages of the production process for the music video component will be as follows:
1) Form production groups of four students, each of whom has a responsibility for a particular aspect of production (i.e. Production Management, Audio Production, Camera and Lighting, Video Editing and Post-Production; (Week One)
2) Identify musicians who will be willing to come to UCF to record a chosen piece of music (Week Two);
3) Work with the performers, as your external clients, to visualise a video from/for the music (Week Three);
4) Develop detailed storyboards, with notes, explaining the process of connotation, through camera/lighting/editing in relation to the visualisation (containing no more than thirty seconds of material showing in the artists) (Weeks Four and Five);
5) Record and mix the music (minimum duration of three minutes, maximum of four) for the video in Media Centre recording studio (Weeks Four to Seven);
6) Shoot the video demonstrating control of the connotative process (Weeks Five and Six);
7) Edit the shot material, with digital video enhancement if appropriate, in terms of the originally conceived outcome (Week Seven);
8) Complete the project within the timeframe and resources allocated/available.
In addition to the learning outcomes in their individual units, students will be asked to demonstrate ability to:
a) Negotiate visual ideas with the external client(s);
b) Convert ideas into images through storyboarding;
c) Create video material that is considered in any way that connotation is achieved, beyond obvious denotation;
d) Develop complex and considered relationships between music and images.
To familiarise you with the creative possibilities of Adobe After Effects, there will be sessions
with Pete Felstead in the Digital Production Suite on Tuesday October 6th as follows:
Group A – 09.30-12.30; Group B – 13.30-16.30
A further session on using keying within green screen will take place in the DPS on Thursday 15th October. Group A – 09.30-12.30; Group B – 13.30-16.30
There also will be a series of lectures and seminars from Brendan Byrne to raise critical and historical debates around music marketing. These sessions will take place on Wednesday for the first five weeks of the project (commencing October 7th) at the following times:
Lecture (all students) 09.00-10.00 DM Seminar M
Seminars (Seminar B) – Group A: 10.00-11.30; Group B: 11.30-13.00
All work relating to units B207-210, i.e. the finished music video artefact on Mini-DV tape and DVD and the additional material relating to your individual roles as detailed in your unit guides, should be submitted on another DVD to the Tremough Academic Office on Friday 27th November between 1 -2 pm.
B203 Web Design
The issues arising from your considerations of genre and audience in relation to the music video will, necessarily, be reflected in the design and development of the web presence. The web-site will host the video that you produce, alongside other content that you consider suitable. In doing so, it should deploy marketing techniques and modes of address appropriate to the music’s genre and target audience. This site should seek to engage fans in peer to peer interactions as well as with musicians to create and grow the fan base. This unit will be taught by Matt Collins: sessions will take place in the Media Centre Digital Production Suite on Mondays for 7 weeks starting on October 12th. Times are as follows:
Group A: 09.00-11.00; Group B: 11.00-13.00

The First Meeting With The Band – 4/10/09 – Agenda 1
Having Approached Mark from the Heathenz at the Q Bar and after listening to their myspace. Shortlisted to two bands, we finally decided on the Heathenz. We felt they suited the project as they were writing and performing a real diverse range of material as well as being a popular local band.
Arranged to meet the Heathenz at the Queue bar with the group. First impressions were good, the band were full of charisma and ideas and I felt we could really work with them to create something special. Firstly we laid down our requirements for the unit and listened to theirs.
The First Meeting With The Heathenz Minus Perin. The Discussion Got Quite Deep.
Production Meeting Agenda 1:
- Visual Identity – How do the band see themselves?
- Discussed Initial Web Content
- Photoshoot
- press junket/publicity model.
Summary Of Progress
Schedule Regular Meetings With the group and the band.
The band have lots of songs with various different styles and vibes, during the meeting we discussed the strongest of these songs. The Heathenz suggested we come and watch them rehearse, so we could make an informed decision for a song which would meet the needs of the unit’s criteria.
