In lesson we discussed our ideas for our music video. We decided to do it about the fairly oppressive way we tend to view the school system. We're planning to make them seem like prisoners with in this system, using teachers like a sort of dictator figures and riot police. To give this narrative we're going to have one nonconforming student that's 'breaking the mould' and later encourages the other students to rebel along side him.

Logo:
When I made the logo for my group I used contrasting fonts. I decided that it would be best if I used the name of the group, "Hollywood Undead". I kept the 'Hollywood' part of the logo similar to the letters on Hollywood Hill as it would be a clear visual link to the band's name and would help people to remember the name, since people make links between images, sound and words and this will help them to effectively remember the name of the group.
I used a darker, more destroyed looking font to fit in better with the conventions of most rock/metal groups. It's bold and attention drawing, more so than the hollywood part. This is intentional because the Hollywood by itself may indicate a pop group or something like that, which is obviously not what I wanted.
I also included blood splatters which fit into the conventions of a metal band since quite a few of them seem to have organs, bones and blood (and sometimes worse).
