Production Log



Today I completed the synopsis of our music video

Music Video Synopsis



Narrative based story line:  displaying the end of a full day’s work and this all shown through the first person perspective but also drifts in and out from the third person perspective. The video alternates between the band playing the song and the actual story line of the video. We start off with our protagonist finishing up with some documents on the computer while he is at work, he then leaves to go home to relax and his friends (the rest of the band members) come by to pay him a visit with a bottle of alcohol.  The protagonist then begins to take shots of alcohol (in reference to the name of the song and the band) with his friends; he is then seen to fall to the ground (as he has had 1 Shot 2 Many) due to his excessive drinking. The situation quickly worsens as they begin trashing the house, they decide to go out which leads on to the scenes on the street. While on the street they are seen performing while intoxicated, they then bump into a tramp and still continue to drink. They then continue to sing while the video fades out at the end of the instrumental.

1 Shot 2 Many Lyrics


Intro: ---------------------Instrumental---------------------


Verse 1 Starts at 00:20 seconds

It’s been a hard, hard day I could use a break

This job can get you down, make hard da take

And when I get home, I’m all alone

I kick of my boots, I twist on the bone

Chorus at 00:41 Seconds

And I don’t care, so get me out of here,

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

Verse 2 Starts at 00:56 Seconds

My friends stop over, at half past 5

With bottle in hand, I can swear he’s read my mind

He hands me a Johnny book of gilat

I take two swigs, I’m going down and I pass it dry

Chorus at 01:17 Seconds

And I don’t care, so get me out of here

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

Tonight I got that itch; you know my life’s a bitch

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many

1 shot 2 manyyyyy

1:41 Instrumental starts

------------------------------------------------------Instrumental-----------------------------------------------------

Verse 3 Starts at 2:26

Everywhere I go, it’s all the same

The rich get rich while we break a back and try to make a name

So then next time life

Makes you wanna yell

Just raise your glass, scream kiss my ass

And you can go da heeeellllll

Chorus at 02:48 Seconds

And I don’t care, so get me out of here

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

And now don’t touch my cup unless you’re filling it up

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 many, 1 shot

1 shot 2 mannnny, 1 shot 2 mannnny

1 shot 2 mannnny, 1 shot 2 mannnny

1 shot 2 many, yea, yea, yea

Yea, yea

Production Log


Today I completed the section of the artists research and their background.

Artist Background - 1 Shot 2 Many


1 Shot 2 Many formerly Sire Grey (and before that, PRIDE)! They've taken up the name of a prior group one of their members was in, about a decade ago. They are 3 childhood friends who are still rockin' out together after all these years, with the addition of another long term friend rounding out the whole sound. Once projects, now a band, 1 Shot 2 Many is the culmination of 21 years of dreams, tears, and sweat. It is the newest incarnation of past bands and present situations. Four guys' vision of what Rock is lacking today, but not necessarily what it should be. Diversity and Singularity all rolled into one. A mix of hard rock, blues, and a hint of metal, the sound is uniquely their own.

Teacher's Comments No.1

Annabel,

An excellent blog so far with in depth analysis of a variety of media texts. Now you have researched media texts like yours you need to focus on initial audience research (find out about your audience) and then introduce the band and song you have chosen to those who mark your blog.


Targets:
  • Complete and post initial audience research (questionnaire and results).
  • Check your YouTube links for your video analysis, they currently come up as hyperlinks rather than embedded videos.
  • Post some information about the band and the chosen song.
