Lyrics for the Bands song

Your eyes are talking to me from across the room,
got this feeling it'll end
all too soon, too soon
A cautious smile, a stolen glance
Something tells me this ain't romance, no no

You send these signals
Saying come get me
I'll take you back to mine
Where you'll have to wait and see
How this night ends
Do you get coffee?
Sort yourself out
And come get me

Empty bottles still in sight
Hazy memories of last night
Did I win, did I lose?
Ask myself, what did I choose
Again?

Chorus/Breakdown/Chorus

Meeting - Amy Kong

We printed 15 copies of the pre production survey and planned the date and times of handing them out to students that are available in the common room. Using the available students in the common room, can allow us to quickly collect the data. Also the available student are in the age range of our target audience, therefore the results of the survey would be more valid and reliable.

These results has lead us to identifying the target audience being B, C1and C2female at the age between 17 to 21. We will mainly promote and distribute this album on itune because our target audience are most likely to be drawn attention to products on itune. However our survey has found out that less people are buying paint magazines there fore our advertisement would spend 40% on music magazines and 60% online and through radio.

As 24.4% of responders have chosen King's of Leon and 17.8% have chosen Chase and Status for the most associated with indie genre, thus we will be developing our ideas from these bands. For the band's name, we have chosen the name 'Hierarchy' because 40% of responders prefer this name compare to the others. And after finding out audience's expectations of Indie Music videos, we will develop on that by showing variety of shots focusing on elements such as guitars and mainly on the band members.

Lastly, the design of the album cover will be in the style of surreal and abstract as 42.9% and 35.7% of responders have been interpreted it.
