Idea Video 1

Good Points:

• Two different paths leading to two different lifestyles.
• It is a slow song, so it'll be easier to lip-sync in time.
• The song choice is narrative.

Bad Points:

• The concept of a music video could be lost through the narrative side.
• The song There is only so much you can do with this song because of its chosen topic.
• Hard to sing a male vocalist song and make it realistic.

Preliminary

R'n'B, Pop (Mixed Genre)

We have decided to choose R'n'B and Pop as our genre, because our group can easily relate to this style of music, as we all listen to it on a daily basis. R'n'B music has a specific type of hard beat that stands out from any other type of music, such as indie which is a very generic style of music or Rock'n'Roll which is a very messy and noisy type of music. Pop is a generic genre that will attract anyone to view my music video.

Theorists

"A star is an image constructed (as any other aspect of fiction) from a range of materials e.g. advertising and magazines as well as films and music" - Richard Dyer.

Thoughts Out Loud

We have been contemplating on whether or not we should do an easy genre such as R'n'B because we are familiar with these conventions however the implications of doing this genre is the costumes for this genre, such as using big fast cars, huge mansions however we are also considering doing an indie genre as indie connects with almost anything, the costume is simple and could be presented through a middle class or low class area.
