Website Progress

Our website is on its way to be completed. After struggling to get the tour dates on the website we finally did this, by creating a Facebook page and also creating a 'BandsInTown' account to make some of the tour dates and made around 10 in the UK and we are yet to create ones worldwide. We also added to the website the 'PURE HEROINE' album using our own album cover and using Lordes music from the album. We put each individual track at 99p and the whole album at £9.99. doing this makes the website look more professional and official.

Preveiw of CD

This is a draft for our CD insert booklet, back of the CD and the front. We asked around for feedback and it was suggested we don't use lyrics in the insert booklets as we don't have enough time to write all the lyrics on each page, and this would also take up a lot of pages which are not necessary. It has also been advised that we change the colour of the album cover title into a gold kind of colour as well as 'DAKOTA' on the back of the CD. Another suggested improvement was that we should use a different picture instead of the picture of the tennis court as it looks unprofessional. I will keep you updated on the changes that will be made, and hopefully we are able to make all the designs revolving the CD look better!

Draft of our music video and feedback

hey! This is the draft of our music video, if you do watch it you'll be able to tell that there is a part missing, however, we have no filmed it put it into the video, meaning our final video will be coming soon!
From this draft we asked around and the following are some improvements we could make to make our video better, which we are going to act upon in the next few days. Here are the both positive and negative feedback we received:

  + Good knowledge of genre
+ Clarity of concept
+ Good quality shots
+ Appropriate mise-en-scene for genre
+ Good editing


- More similar pacing clips at the end as there was in the beginning
- 3.10 cuts a bit out of sync (fixed)
- 0.37 more in time (fixed)

Social Media : Facebook

We have decided to make a Facebook for our artist, this is similar to the Twitter page we created. But I think that more social media sites we more we are able to promote our artist DAKOTA. In Addition, Facebook allows us to do more than Twitter as it allows us to add tour dates and communicate more directly.

with fans.
