Track...

I have embeded my track from youtube.

We chose this song because it fits the pop genre. It is a happy, colourful song which reflects the artist's personality.

Website Mock Up...

The colour scheme will be black, white, red and blue. This may change when I get round to doing the website.

The font I am considering is a handwriting font or a fancy font, something that represents a girl.

Mock of CD cover...

The picture of the buildings will be taken in Nottingham so therefore it will be an original image.

The font used on the CD cover will be the same font that is used for the website. I think this will make it more effective and make the artist stand out because then the next time you see that font it will remind you of her.

Risk Assessment...

Weather- if rainy or wet, the actor could slip over. If so we would postpone filming and film another day.

Actor falling in lake.

Ducks- might attack the actor. We would stop this happening by not filming near the ducks!

Public- make sure the public doesn't trip over any equipment.

Permission...

Hi Holly,

Thanks so much for your message, and I'm so glad you'd like to use my music for your project. If you could just credit me and direct people to my website, that would be great. I'd love to see the video when it's done.

Thanks again and best of luck,
Amanda

Costume Planning...

Video recce shots...

I have chosen Wollaton Park for my location. These pictures show the areas of Wollaton Park I want to shoot our music video.

I chose Wollaton Park because the song that I have chosen is quite a summery song and on a sunny day Wollaton Park looks very appealing and it also has stunning views for example the Hall.

Storyboard...

Treatment...

My intentions for the video are simple. I want her to walk around Wollaton Park singing.

I want it to look as realistic as possible and make it appeal to my target audience which is 16-20 year olds who like indie/pop music. It could also appeal to people who enjoy acoustic or live performances.

Firstly she will be sitting on a bench listening to her ipod, then it will be like she has gone into a dream and she will be in the gardens singing and dancing.

For her costume, she will start in jeans and a jumper to make it look like an ordinary day then in the dream scenes she will be wearing a white summer dress and gladiator sandals to give a sense of fantasy. Her hair will be down and wavy. Her make up will be natural.

Brainstorming...

Props Preparation...

I used an ipod to make the audience think that she is actually listening to the track.

I used a bag to make it look realistic, things you have with you on a day to day basis.

Actors/Performer decisions...

I chose Rebecca Rosser to be in our music video because we wanted a female solo artist. I thought she would be confident in front of the camera and she is very attractive so would appeal to everyone. This links with Fraser's theory of voyeurism.

Research into CD covers...
