Post it notes

Serena and I have created post it notes to help us when filming as this is where we first put down our initial visual ideas.

Booking equipment

Serena and i have booked equipment and are picking it up today after school to film over half term. We are taking our a camera, tripod and dolly and are hoping to get most filming completed.

Ideas in images

Serena and I have put together a collage of images from a variety of american films and music videos that have inspired us for the theme of our own music video, 'popcorn boy'.

50 word Pitch

In lesson today Serena and I pitched our different ideas we have for our music video. In this activity we had to pitch our overall idea that we had thought about so far:

My pitch: My song is called 'Popcorn Boy' by Antigoni Buxton. The 'Popcorn Boy' music video will portray the typical american high school. The video will include cheerleaders, geeks and a good looking boy. The video will consist of dancing, bright colors and eye catching make up. Popcorn is our motif for this music video and we will therefore use it as much as we can.

Peer Feedback sheet

In class we listened to each of our songs and gave each other feedback for ideas we could each use for our music video. The ideas for 'Popcorn Boy' highlighted to me things that i had not yet thought about. One of the ideas was to use popcorn as a visual metaphor. Therefore to show Antigoni, the artist throw popcorn at the 'Popcorn Boy' which illustrates that the popcorn can be used for many meanings, therefore in the instance of the song he is called popcorn boy as he 'pops' from girl to girl. However the popcorn can also illustrate a high school date to the cinema which links well with the popcorn. 

From the peer feedback sheet i am able to develop ideas and see what other point of views think i should include in this music video to make it the best it can possible be. 

Target Audience profile

Target audience

Our target audience for our song 'Popcorn Boy' are teenage girls around the ages of 14-18. Serena and I have chosen this as we feel teenage girls can relate well to this song as it is all about the difficulties of a relationship. I believe this song will attract quite the sterotypical confident, feminin girl. The type of girl that this song will relate to enjoys shopping in shops such as Topshop, River Island, Lipsy and Miss Selfridge. The girl also enjoys having a good time at parties and going out with her friends on most weekends. The girl is also looked up to by her friends at school. The subjects she does at school are Art, English, Media and drama so therefore is
 someone who is very creative. She enjoys sports
 such as netball and swimming and also has a
part time job as a swimming teacher .

Mood board

Serena and I have created a mood board as part of the planning process of our music video. This will help us at this early stage as it will allow us to visualise the music video we would like to achieve.

Planning

For this task i will be working with Serena Rossi. The artist we have chosen to use in our video has started to become unreliable which is resulting in us delaying an awful lot. We may have to reconsider if the artist continues to not have an interest in being a part of our music video. We have not chosen the definite song and therefore do not know the lyrics of the song. In result of this we have started to brand the artist.
