Encoded Final Draft

Video Inspiration.

Royal Blood.

The band, composed of bassist/singer Mike Kerr and drummer Ben Thatcher, was formed in Worthing in 2013. On 11 November 2013, the duo released their debut single, "Out of the Black", which came with a B-side called "Come On Over". In November 2013, it was announced that Royal Blood would be supporting Arctic Monkeys for two Finsbury Park shows in May 2014. They are a duo and we really liked the style that they had in their videos and there interview. We took alot of inspiration from this and decided this was the sort of band/video we wanted to make.

The Band


This is a poster of the band. The use of black and white in this is very effective because it takes away the distraction of colour. This make the viewer focus alot more on the subjects of the picture which is the artists. We really like this affect and we tried in this in many of our posters.

For the photo's that we took we thought that having just black and white would not look as good or as professional as the Royal Blood ones. For these reasons we have used the affect shown above in alot of the photo's that we have used for the Digi pack and our Posters.

There was an interview with Royal Blood at the BBC music awards. Royal Blood were explainin how both of are involved in the writing of he song. One of them is a guitarist and vocals and one is a drummer. Because they are both involved in writing the songs they both want it to look like they are singing them in the final video.
