Our final artist

Auditions for our star

We knew we always wanted Eleanor to be our singer because of her excellence in drama and dance, and we knew that she would be the right person to lip sync in the video, and have the right persona to front the song. Therefore she was the first person we went to to audition, and were lucky enough she said yes. We gave her a broad outline of what we wanted her to dance to, and gave her the lyrics of the song and were very happy with the outcome. We felt her vibrant performance, age and looks matched the style of music. Therefore she was a perfect match.

Inspiration for our music video

To get inspiration for my music video, i looked around YouTube for music videos. The following post will include random music videos that i have found and what i like about it. By doing this i hope to have a better idea of what i would like my music video to look like.

Clap Snap

One thing i like about Clap Snap was the editing technique that was used. In the video there are very quick cuts throughout. This keeps the audience's attention on the screen for the whole duration of the video. The second thing i like about the video is the bright colours used. This not only compliments the upbeat music but also presents the idea that the princess is the main protagonist in the video. The third thing i liked was the props used. There were roses and crowns used which again portray a 'girly' and 'princess' theme. Finally i loved the cuts between the 'princess' life and the disco life that is seen after. The choreography used in the disco and the paint along with the lighting are things i would like to incorporate into my video.

Glowed Up
The thing i liked about is the dark theme with few lights to brighten up the scene. The purple lights create an effect similar to a nightclub/party. I also liked the effect used at 1:35 where a dancer dances behind a black canvas behind a purple light to create a silhouette effect.

Broken glass

After looking a numerous music videos me and my group decided that breaking glass in slow motion will be a nice edition the the video. There is an example above.

Dance in paint

Our group loved the idea of using paint in video to portray a party theme. However i feel it may be difficult to effectively use paint in the video.

Gold
This is so far our favourite video due to the editing used and the lyrics of the song. The tempo is slow and the drop mid way through the song sounds excellent and would be good to edit.

Our idea

Initial feedback on our idea

After deciding on our first initial idea, we got feedback from our target audience on what we should improve, take out and what we could improve on.
We decided to do this so that we can make sure our music video was as good as it can be to the best of our ability. By doing this we can get an insight into what our target audience wants, so that we can get the best response from our music video.
