Location

The location of the music video will take place in our school drama studios and other sections of the school. Below, we have taken shots of the different settings and the props that we will use for the music video for the bridge, chorus and main narrative.

Artist Name:

The group is still debating about what we are going to call our music artist. We want to make sure that it is quirky, feminine and catchy allowing the audience to remember the artist in the future via merchandise. In trying to decide what to call our artist, we are accumulating ideas from other artists such as "Pixie Lott" or "Ellie Goulding" which are all stereotypical pop names which are unusual but is what we really want.


After much deliberation, we came up with the name, Violet Rowe. We then decided on this name as we felt that it was quirky, simple and catchy which is similar to many other pop artists. Also, we felt that "Violet" was a good name in terms of colour schemes for album covers and means of advertisement, where we would be able to use the colour purple and its different spectrums. Overall, the name is eye catching and can appeal to our target audience of young girls from 14 - 19 years old. 

Costumes

We have also decided to use three different costumes for the music video to show the connotations of the themes through the clothing of the artist to the audience. Below are the different choices of costumes.

Out of all of the clothing, we decided to pick our final costume ideas...

Chorus:

We have decided to use the drama studios which also has a stage for this section of the video. This will show the artist performing on a stage with a microphone which is a typical convention of a pop genre music video. The artist will wear....

Bridge:

For the bridge, we are going to shoot this against a black brick wall in the drama studio because it fits in with the theme of interrogation. With this location, we will be able to edit this shot with effects as it is the main focus on the artist from the song. The artist will wear...

Narrative:
For the narrative, we have decided to create a casual look for the artist. However, we have still kept to the theme of interrogation through the army boots and the top which looks like prison bars. This will be the main costume of the music video.

Filming the Video:

We plan to shoot shots for the video very soon. We have a number of different locations for filming, which vary from the drama studios in the school to gaining access in a green room at a university's media department which will enable us to get effective shots for the video, especially sections of the video when the artist is on her own, as we will be able to put special effects on those shots.

Image ideas for the artist in the music video:

The group also decided to give the artists image a slight twist, making it similar to most pop artists but giving it a sense of originality and giving the image uniqueness. Therefore, in the music video, we intend on using an array of clothing for the artist, whilst also making a feature of the artist stand out. An idea that the group had was to use, for example, putting large false eye lashes on the singer, which could be used successfully on the album cover, as it would make the artist album stand out on the shelf and would allow consumers to see the artists originality.

Artist Image Ideas:

During the planning of the storyboard, the group decided to think about the artist and the image that we wanted to portray her with. As the artist is female and the song is in the genre of pop, we have decided to create the artist to have a personality with attitude, portray as her being an experimenter with life and someone who lives a care free lifestyle, conventional to most pop artists. When arranging the artists clothing and style, we intend on using the outlines of other pop artists, below, to successfully convey the image by making it trendy and fashionable. 

Job Roles

Within filming, these will be our job roles:


Natasha McGowan
- Actress (the artist)

We will each do our fair share of editing and research to input to the making of our video.
