Meetings (week beginning 22nd Sept)

This week our meetings were primarily discussion-based. They took place on Tuesday lunch and after school, as well as Thursday lunch. The topics we covered were:

1. Our record label: What it would stand for and what kind of music it would be associated with.
2. Our band: We discussed how we could create a band that would have familiar aspects for the audience whilst being fresh and new, creating for itself a gap in the market. We didn't fully agree on the costumes and name of the band, but had ideas such as 'Pilgrim'.
3. Our audience: Who would want to listen to and buy the band's music, and why? What gratifications would they gain from the band?
4. Our track: Being the most direct factor to affect our music video, this took the longest discussion until we decided on a track from a long list we had decided on.

Below is a summary sheet which we wrote up the next week after lots of discussion to lay out our thoughts of the previous week. This week was very evenly spread in terms of work put in as it was primarily discussion.

Between meetings, we were in semi-constant contact on Facebook discussing basic ideas for above for points, as well as some of the more creative aspects of the task, such as what we wanted in the music video and why. Below is a segment of a conversation about what props we would want to use:

I think we made good progress this week in terms of decision making, although there were compromises we had to make in relation to little creative idea that we all had, but that would not work all together in the same music video. As we didn't all have drastically different ideas as to what we wanted the video to look like, however, this was not too much of an issue.
