The reason why we chose a bull image for the band logo is because this image signifies rebellion, power and individuality because it addresses to the strong punk image that the band is targeting. Also the pastoral feel in the image reflects the name of the band.
Not only it is suitable to the star image the band is trying to build, but it is also visually strong and will therefore attract attention of people previously unfamiliar with the Acres of Life, this is an effective promotion.

Album cover

This is the album back cover we made on photoshop for acres of life. We chose to use amplifiers, speakers etc. because this reflects the live band image. We used text font that we thought was quite indie and would appeal to the target audience which consists of indie-punk loving teens.

Music Video Prelim- preparation

For our music video preliminary task, we had an unsigned teen punk band coming in. We had one day to shoot and edit their music video therefore we had a very limited time to produce a good quality video. Planning was essential, so we made a carefully prepared storyboard beforehand which consisted of interesting shots which could be achieved in the limited time we had in the studio. Each group had their own parts to focus on, therefore we had to work together in order to achieve fluidity between the shots and editing.

Punk-Rock music videos



Acres of Life is the unsigned band we were shooting a music video for. We looked at similar videos beforehand in order to have an idea of what the professionals do. These are some of the videos and bands we looked at..
