Production Log - Entry 7

Today I have completed the record label logo for are music video project, this was created using the program Adobe Photoshop using a regular font and the custom shape tool.This logo will be used on my groups music video advertisement and on the CD case. This task was relatively easy although I had still conducted some research prior to the creation of the logo, this had greatly aided me in terms of the design of the logo. Overall I found the task very enjoyable as I was able to be creative.

Production Log - Entry 6

Today I have spent time finalising the CD template for my CD cover, I had problems with the sizes this meant that I couldn't complete the task in the allotted time. This task was done on the program Adobe Photoshop. As a group we had decide to change the colours from red and black to grey as it looked better on the CD cover and the CD album advertisement.

Synopsis of Our Video



Synopsis of Our Video

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.

Music Video Lyrics (1 Shot 2 Many)



1 Shot 2 Many – 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-----------------------------------------------------
Verse 3 Starts at 2:26
 Everywhere I go, its 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
Outro at 03:26 seconds:

Artist Information - 1 Shot 2 Many

1 Shot 2 Many -

Formerly Sire Grey (and before that, PRIDE)! We've taken up the name of a prior group Anthony was in, about a decade ago. Seems to have just as good a fit for us as it did them. We're 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 a project, 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. To contact them you can do it thru this page. Do you like it loud? Do you like to get a little bluesy while still kickin' some ass? Do you like it hard (and remember we're talkin' about music, here)? Well sit back and get ready to rock out. .. (The trax you hear are only rough pre-mixes, but we want your critique b-4 we finish. Rip us apart if you so feel the need. We love feedback. Any suggestions on the songs, music, lyrics, or mix are greatly appreciated.)
