Analysis of Korn's Website

Korn are an American nu-metal band from California. Korn are similar to my artist, although they are slightly heavier than Pierce the Veil and The Perfect Fall.

I looked at Korn's website to get some inspiration for The Perfect Fall's website. 

Korn's website has a dark background which is seen on all pages. Moreover, the main focus of the page is the band logo at the top of the screen. Furthermore, the website is themed around their new album, 'Paradigm Shift', with the side panels featuring the album artwork. This is not only to promote their album, but to also attract their target audience as it is their album artwork. The name at the top and the album artwork on the initially draws the audience in and portrays the idea that Korn are an organic band as they are being sold on the music and their name rather than their looks.

The tabs at the top are quite conventional of artists websites. Home/News/Tours/Music/Photos/Videos/Store is quite common. However, as Korn are a world-famous band they have a page called 'Community' where other fans of Korn can interact and share ideas and videos. However, I will not use this feature in my website as The Perfect Fall are a new artist.

This website also includes a latest news/updates section on the homepage - for my artists website, I will not be using a news page and instead I will incorporate the news section into the homepage.

Music Video Tips

According to my teacher, this is how to make a successful music video:

• The essential idea of what we are doing is manufacturing a band for a song, and this will be that bands first release, and it's our job to make the video successful

• We will start with the image of the band, ensuring that their style is fit for the style of the song and that they will know how to play the instruments required so they can realistically mime the track. Then we can create a concept for the video that will blend well with the music.

•  The band we are creating obviously has no fanbase, so it is up to us to get them out there via various marketing techniques and digipacks.

•  The best type of music video contains three different strands: a performance element which the label think is vital as it acts as a fail save; a lip sync element (just simply singing in a situation with very few props); and lastly a narrative element (the story), which will be led by genre and style. The music video will then consist of constant cutting between these strands, keeping the video exciting and interesting.

• We were advised to make a 'Mood Film' or prezi involving a set of images or a simple video to create a short film to demonstrate the ideas for the final product to help clarify the idea and help identify any potential problems.
