Industry

Record Label:

NC RECORDS (fictitious)

Our artist is going to be associated with NC Records, which is an independent record label that other South Asian independent artists are affiliated with. Considering that the music industry in South Asia, especially in Pakistan is not very developed, this label aims to enhance the exposure of potential indie artists looking for an appropriate platform. 
NC Records will also handle the promotion and distribution of the album on various streaming platforms, channels and websites.

Production House:

Blue Moon Productions (fictitious)


Blue Moon Productions will be involved in the concept creation (and of course, production) of the music video, and the creative development of the digipack, as well as in the post-production aspects of the video. 



Distribution:

According to our survey results, the most popular platform for streaming, listening to and exploring music is YouTube, followed by Spotify, and then other platforms such as  iTunes, Saavn etc. So our music will be distributed digitally, on various platforms: initially on YouTube, IGTV, Facebook and Twitter, and the album will be available for purchase on Spotify, iTunes and Patari, a Pakistani music streaming service that is gaining more recognition within Pakistan, and since our primary target audience is the Pakistani Youth, we figured this would be a very suitable platform for us.

This included great consideration given to the sort of message or concept, and the social group that we wanted to represent through our music video. The song that we chose, "Party Police" is pretty straightforward - the lyrics are about a couple whose relationship is gradually deteriorating, and as we hear from her perspective, one of them is striving to hold it together by any me

Music Video Final Cut

Since, she has now dropped Media Studies, Hira emailed me the Premiere file of the music video as well as the video itself that she edited on the 9th and then after I had requested some changes, she sent me another version on the 10th. However, due to the fact that she no longer took the subject and hence the bigger communication gap, I decided to make some remaining changes and alterations to the video myself, which included rearranging some clips and adding a different opening scene: After that I colour graded some parts of the footage to add a slight vintage effect, but not too much. I did this by adjusting the "faded film" scale in the Lumetri colours tab, and adding a slight noise effect to some clips. For some clips I downloaded a VHS overlay to get a *drumroll* VHS effect, by placing the overlay on top of the clip and setting the blend mode to "Screen". I felt that this added the lofi, retro handicam effect that we were initially aiming for as well not just b
