UPDATE ON CAPTURE 20/10/09

This week is the final week before half term and is also the week that we are doing our presentations on Music Video Directors. i am feeling a little bit nervous but i think that i shall do well.

We have also filmed our camera angles. this was fun but at the same time annoying because of having to move the camera around the room.

UPDATE ON CAPTURE

This is an update on what has been going on so far.

This Week I have decided to use the Rap-Metal Group for Capture. as Shay was not here for the recording session I went and had a chat to the band myself and got the necessary information that was needed.

The information that I needed to gather was what instruments that where in the band and how the band would want to record.

Instruments in Band

Harvey = Drums

Jed = Lead/Rhythm Guitar

Floyd = Rhythm Guitar

Peter = Bass

Lee = Lead/Backing Vocals

Miguel = Rap/Vocals

How The Band Would Like To Record.

While I Talked to the band i asked them which way they would like to record i told them what was possible which is either individual instruments or as a group recording together. they chose to Record The Group together and will let me know a time when we can record it.

Initial Recording

For the initial Recording of the song the band are going to be together but the guitar amps will be in another room while harvey the Drummer will be in the main performing area whil the rest of the band will be in the studio part playing the song.

Mic's needed for Initial Recording.

Drum's = Overheads, Kick and Snare

Bass = Direct Input

Guitars = Beta 57's

Vocals = SM 58's (can be replaced with better mic's later)

Update on Work

This is an Update on what has been going on with the ccourse so far.

This Week I Have learned a bit more in the Recording Studio. the Hardware that i have used so far in the Recording Studio includes a Mixing Desk, Drum Mic's and an Apple Mac. The software that I Have used is Logic Pro 9. we started to make a Hip Hop Track but because Martin who is our funny vocalist wasn't here at the time We couldn't Add any vocals but Ben Had Brought his Cello and so we recorded that instead. I have also done some more research into the Music Video Presentation and have started to put the information into the Powerpoint I have also managed to download a couple of videos to put into the presentation. I shall be adding the video into the Presentation later on. For the music Video Ishall be working with Shay who started yesterday. we shall be making the marketing materials for a death metal band and will hopefully have a look at the band that we are going to use. i have also started to get some ideas down on paper for the music video.
