Introducing The Band

This is the band picture for the band I am going to use for my A2 Media Project.

They are called 'The Carpet Lions' and are a local band from Biddulph. The three members James Ryan (Vocals), Rob Hughes (Piano and Backing Vocals) and James Shufflebotham (Guitar) have been close friends for many years, when Rob and James S decided to form their own band as they have a similar taste in music.


After one unsuccessful band was formed and gone, they decided to try again, this time with a less serious theme. After searching for a singer, they decided to audition their close friend James Ryan. With his ability to rap and sing and hold an audience's attention, he was just what they were looking for. Since then they have been making songs, making video's for them and uploading them to Facebook and Youtube, 'The Carpet Lions' have become a well known local band. With their cheeky humour and charm they have managed to get their own gig at 'The Sugarmill' in Hanley which was a huge success. 'The Carpet Lions' also entered the 'Signal Star' competition hosted by the local radio station Signal 1, and got through to the final 12 but then sadly missed out. They're growing stronger and stronger and as they are liked by the local public, they are the ideal band to use in my video.

Style

'The Carpet Lions' take some of their fashion sense from the popular band 'Rizzle Kicks'. 'Rizzle Kicks' are very modern and are bringing out hit after hit within and out of the UK. They are 'The Carpet Lions' main idols with a lot of their songs being influenced by them. 'Rizzle Kicks' tend to wear checked shirts, jeans or chinos and my band also wear these sort of things.

However, most of 'The Carpet Lions' style is based on themselves. The colour scheme they use is from their own ideas and what colour suits each of them best. They always wear that coloured polo shirt and either jeans or chinos. This is a style they continue to use throughout their music videos and live performances.

Colour Scheme

A colour scheme is important for the album cover and the poster, but also for the music video too.

I am going to use the band's three main colours, orange, green and blue. 'The Carpet Lions' are already quite well known with these three colours as each of the band members wear one of these colours for every performance.

My music video will be no different, they will be wearing these colours once again and then I will incoorporate these three colours into the album cover and the poster.

Inspirational

The music video's, album covers and posters I have analysed have been inspirational to me and have given me some more ideas of what to do in my music video. They have also shown me the level I need to work at in order to get the grade I want.

Over the next few months I will be looking to film, create and edit my own music video.

Lyrics To 'Too Close'-Alex Clare

You know I’m not one to break promises
I don’t want to hurt you but I need to breathe
At the end of it all, you’re still my best friend
But there’s something inside that I need to release
Which way is right, which way is wrong
How do I say that I need to move on
You know we have is separate way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

You gave me more that I can return
Yet there’s so much that you deserve
Nothing to say, nothing to do,
I’ve nothing to give
I must leave without you
You know we have is separate way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

So I’ll be on my way

And it feels like I am just too close to love you
There’s nothing that I can really say
I can’t lie no more, I can’t hide no more
Got to be true to myself
And it feels like I am just too close to love you
So I’ll be on my way

So I’ll be on my way
So I’ll be on my way

Lyrics to 'We Are Young'-FUN. And Janelle Monae

Give me a second I,
I need to get my story straight
My friends are in the bathroom getting higher than the Empire State
My lover she’s waiting for me just across the bar
My seat’s been taken by some sunglasses asking 'bout a scar, and
I know I gave it to you months ago
I know you’re trying to forget
But between the drinks and subtle things
The holes in my apologies, you know
I’m trying hard to take it back
So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Now I know that I’m not
All that you got
I guess that I, I just thought
Maybe we could find new ways to fall apart
But our friends are back
So let’s raise a toast
‘Cause I found someone to carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Carry me home tonight (Nananananana)
Just carry me home tonight (Nananananana)

The world is on my side
I have no reason to run
So will someone come and carry me home tonight
The angels never arrived
But I can hear the choir
So will someone come and carry me home

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

Tonight
We are young
So let’s set the world on fire
We can burn brighter than the sun

So if by the time the bar closes
And you feel like falling down
I’ll carry you home tonight

Lyrics to 'Moves Like Jagger'-Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera

Oh, yeah
Oh!

[Verse 1:]
Just shoot for the stars
If it feels right
And aim for my heart
If you feel like
And take me away and make it OK
I swear I'll behave

You wanted control
So we waited
I put on a show
Now I make it
You say I'm a kid
My ego is big
I don't give a shit
And it goes like this

[Chorus:]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

[Verse 2:]
Maybe it's hard
When you feel like you're broken and scarred
Nothing feels right
But when you're with me
I'll make you believe
That I've got the key

Oh
So get in the car
We can ride it
Wherever you want
Get inside it
And you want to steer
But I'm shifting gears
I'll take it from here (Oh! Yeah yeah!)
And it goes like this (Uh)

[Chorus:]
Take me by the tongue
And I'll know you (Uh)
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

I don't need to try to control you (Oh, yeah)
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger (Yeah yeah)
I've got the moves like Jagger

[Bridge:]
You wanna know how to make me smile
Take control, own me just for the night
And if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this

So watch and learn
I won't show you twice
Head to toe, oooh baby rub me right
But if I share my secret
You're gonna have to keep it
Nobody else can see this (Ay! Ay! Ay! Aaay!)

And it goes like this

[Chorus:]
Take me by the tongue (Take me by the tongue)
And I'll know you
Kiss me 'til you're drunk
And I'll show you (Yeah yeah yeah!)

All the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
(Oh, yeah)
I don't need to try to control you
Look into my eyes and I'll own you

With them moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger
I've got the moves like Jagger

This is my first video research powerpoint presentation on the music video 'Moves Like Jagger' by Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera.

Introduction To Lauren Maskrey's A2 Media Blog

Hello,
For my next Media project I am going to make a new music video, also a poster and album cover to go with the video. I am going to post all my research and each step to making my products on this blog.

The genre of my music video is spoof, comedy, RnB, Pop and Rap.
My band that I am using in my music video, is a local group called 'The Carpet Lions'. They are going to make a brand new song and then I will make and edit a video for their song and make an album cover and poster.
The target audience for my music video, will be younger people, probably more teenagers.
