Production Schedule


Although our dates are not set in concrete at this moment in time, we know that we have our performer and our actors willing to be shot for next weekend (6-7/11/10) as well as our equipment that we will need for the shoot, which is pretty minimal.

Arctic Monkeys - Mardy Bum



Carys Bowen-jones, Tom Chamberlain & William Larkin

A View From The Afternoon



Carys Bowen-jones, Tom Chamberlain & William Larkin

Lyrics

Well now then Mardy Bum 
I've seen your frown 
And it's like looking down the barrel of a gun 
And it goes off 
And out come all these words 
Oh there's a very pleasant side to you 
A side I much prefer

It's one that laughs and jokes around 
Remember cuddles in the kitchen 
Yeah, to get things off the ground 
And it was; up, up and away 
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today when you're all argumentative 
And you've got the face on 

Well now then Mardy Bum 
Oh I'm in trouble again, aren't I 
I thought as much 
Cause you turned over there 
Pulling that silent disappointment face 
The one that I can't bear 

Well can't we laugh and joke around 
Remember cuddles in the kitchen 
Yeah, to get things off the ground 
And it was up, up and away 
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today when you're all argumentative 
And you've got the face on 

And yeah I'm sorry I was late 
but I missed the train 
And then the traffic was a state 
And I can't be arsed to carry on in this debate 
That reoccurs, oh when you say I don't care 
but of course I do, yeah I clearly do! 

So laugh and joke around 
Remember cuddles in the kitchen 
Yeah, to get things off the ground 
And it was up, up and away 
Oh, but it's right hard to remember that
On a day like today when you're all argumentative 
And you've got the face on

CD Cover Research






In terms of image, we looked at our band very carefuly and compared them to other bands of this genre. This was the same when looking at CD covers so we could create an appropriate one for our band. We gathered some images to compare from the internet, as well as have a look at some CD covers from the Indie/Rock genre in record shops. We noticed that there is not much use of colour at all, and the album covers either don't feature the band at all or they have a picture of them all, only they aren't usually doing anything particularly interesting. An idea for our album cover was that we have it in black and white, and like on the Franz Ferdinand 'You Could Have It So Much Better' cover we liked the idea of using a Roy Lichtenstein-style cartoon effect as shown below.

We also liked the idea of using another effect from a Kings Of Leon album cover which although is not a UK band, they are incredibly popular in the UK. The effect is that the band members faces are split into four with an eagle's face morphed into their faces. In terms of the faces being split this is something we want to do for our cover.
