'The Reservoir' questionnaire

1. How do you feel 'The Reservoir' conforms to the Pop/Rock genre?

Very Well          Relatively          Not alot          Not at all

Most of our targeted audience felt that 'The Reservoir' conforms 'very well' to the pop/rock genre, therefore backing our view that this band name is a sufficient choice.


2. How well do you feel 'The Reservoir' fits in with the 'Hall of Fame' narrative?    

Very Well          Relatively          Not alot          Not at all

The majority feel as though the name does fit in with the narrative, once again proving our choice correct.



3. How much does 'The Reservoir' appeal to you?
Very Well          Relatively          Not alot          Not at all

This is important to us as the band name is extremely important in attracting a target audience.



4. Would the song appeal to you through the band name?

Yes          No          Maybe

Unfortunately, the majority answered no. However, this is not too much of an important factor.


5. Do you feel the band members match the title of 'The Reservoir'?

Yes          No          Maybe  

Most of the target audience answered yes (not too sure if thats a compliment or not).



In conclusion, 'The Reservoir' seems to be a good name choice, and so this will be our name from now on.

Filming locations

Throughout our filming we will be needing various locations to film due to the alternative narratives in our video; the sportsman, and the band member.

For our sports sequences, all footage will be filmed within the River Lee due to the natural images needed when our runner is in training, and so the River Lee is an ideal location. We will be filming in various locations of the River Lee so that the footage does not become repetitive and dull.

Unfortunately for us, the River Lee is a rather popular local park and so our filming is often delayed due to the amount of people walking in and around the park. Problems arise because of this as we cannot afford to have random people in our shots, and therefore we cannot always get the footage we had planned. Furthermore, we are restricted to certain times of the day when filming due to the lighting contrast as the days progress and we want to ensure that all footage is relatively similar in terms of daylight.

Also, other locations we will use will possibly be Ben's house, and we will also use our school hall, which is almost always available to us.
However, we will have to ensure that it is not evident that the footage is from within our school, as this would look tacky and uncreative. In addition, we will need to make sure that the parts we film are clear so that there are no bits of school equipment lying around.

Further filming

We will film further footage over the next few days.
The footage we will be doing will be of the two races, one in which Ben, the main character, loses, and the other in which he wins, in order to conform to the idea of 'work hard and you will achieve' to display the effort Ben goes through to succeed. This idea is one that is also clearly evident in the actual 'Hall of Fame' video, something which we will try to recreate successfully.
We will also shoot a piece of footage in which the athlete Ben drinks a raw egg. Unfortunately Ben is unwilling to actually drink an egg (despite my protests of making it as realistic as possible!) and so we will be using a yazoo milkshake to make it look as similar as we possibly can.

Our music video

The Reservoir

So, after receiving our previous survey results, we have discovered that 'The Reservoir' will be our new band name from now on, a choice which we fill best suits the image we are trying to put across to our target audience.
This new band name has a far more serious feel to it in comparision to 'Burritto Dorito', and this choice will be best to display the more serious nature of the video, rather than the more humorous suggestion that our previous name gave.
In addittion, a reservoir (as pictured below) does fit in well with the lyrics and meaning of 'Hall of Fame', as the flow of the reservoir displays the achievement meaning in the song, as the lyrics display a sense of 'going forward' in life and moving on to better things, much like the flow of a reservoir.

Band name change

We are changing name. Burritto Dorito is no longer.
We have decided that our band name doesn't match the 'image' of the group, and the song we are remaking is far more serious than the band name suggests.
Unsure which band name to use now but any name change will be posted.
