Facebook event update

Today me and Beccy have updated our Facebook event, above I have print screened the most recent messages. I have spoken to several girls who are interested over Facebook but also in person and they seem really excited of the idea of taking part in our music video production. We have had 12 girls who have accepted and are willing to participate in our video which is a good result, as we worried that maybe we would not have enough to cast 8-10 girls. Me and Beccy have discussed that we will give the other people we asked till Wednesday to reply; after that we are going to look at the contenders who want to be in the video and talk about if we think they are:
  • Suitable for our video e.g. appearance.
  • Reliable
  • Mature (not mess around on set)
  • Good performer
  • Have good patience as the filming stage can be rather tedious

Once we have our final selection of girls then me and Beccy will be able to assign each girl a character profile of their pin up girl we want them to portray.

I am really happy with the girls who have replied, all are my friends so when it comes to working with them it shall not be awkward for either of us. There is a variety of girls such as; age, sexuality, ethnicity and appearance (body shape); by having such a diverse selection this will appeal to our audience; as they will be able to associate themself with at least one girl in the video.

Group calender and smart phones



Me and Beccy have set up a calender on Outlook which we both can edit and refer to throughout the production. This will help me and Beccy arrange dates which will fit around our schedules and plan when and where and we can take photographs for out digipak and advert for our music video.


We have set up a event page on Facebook to cast for our music video, this is helping me and Beccy know who is willing to star in our video. As well as it is extremely helpful for us knowing who wants to be in the video it also allows us to keep in contact of them all; letting them feel involved by constantly up dating the event page.


I believe by having a technical calender is more versatile than a written one because:


  1. Both of us can access it to keep each other informed of important dates as well edit it.

  2. We can access it through a computer but also via our smart mobile phones, this is good as we can automatically a note on the calender when and wherever we are and send e-mails to one another and identify them as tasks.

  3. We can stick to a detailed time plan, this will help so we know we are track with our production; so that we do not get behind in our work.

I own a Sony Ericson W995 mobile phone which I able to connect to the Internet with; allowing me to access: Facebook, Outlook and e-mails. I am going to use my phone as a great tool to keep organised and also keeping in contact with Beccy but also the cast involved in the music video. I will also be able to ring and text them if needs be but also my phone has an 8.1 megapixal camera I will be able to take photographs of the process of our production such as: the digipak photography shoot, the dressing of the characters and also behind the scenes of the music video. The photographs will not be as good quality as my digital SLR camera but as these are only showing the process I do not think it will matter. By filming and taking photographs on my phone I am able to upload them straight onto Facebook which then I will able to create a link for to upload them onto my blog.

Time Management

http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=169120723113114&num_event_invites=0#!/event.php?eid=169120723113114

The link above is an event I have set up on the social network Facebook to cast girls for our music video. I have added my female friends who I believe are suitable for our music video and so far I have had several confirm; at least eight girls are interested in staring in our pop music video.

By using Facebook this is going to make mine and Beccy's time management so much easier, as we are able to keep in constant contact with the cast which helps us: to organise them, keep them informed and also arrange dates, times and places. Both me and Beccy have access to this event and can edit it if we wish. I will continue to use this event and will create blogs to show how our preparation for our music video is coming together.

After posting my event on Facebook my friend Sophie texted me;

"Stace I just read your status, me, Issy and Maria all do performing arts and three main things we are studying are: dance, singing and acting can we audition? This will look good on my application for any auditions xxx"

As well as people helping us in our music video I also see this as a great opportunity for people who need a creative portfolio for either University or a job. I mentioned that we could provide a copy of the video and photographs from the production so this has made people more interested which is good. I understand that we have to choose girls who are: suitable and reliable for our concept so by asking at least 40 girls this will allow me and Beccy choose the right girls.

Pitch feed back from the class

After gathering all the feedback from the class I am able to summarised their: opinions and ideas. By having so much feedback it will help me and Beccy improve our concept, strengthen our weaknesses and also enhance our concept by adding or removing ideas to it.

Comments on suitability for stated target audience
Our demographic audience is: white females aged 14-17. We also believe there is a secondary audience of males, aged 15-20 due to the male gaze. Many people believe that our demographic audience is clear, good and suitable to our concept. Some believe that as it is a pop song it will appeal to a wider audience, as it seems as though the image we are creating is mainstream which I agree with but as we have to aim our video at a certain audience we seem this is best suited. A good comment that we received which highlights this is; "understands audience fairly well but might find a niche due to style and nature of mainstream." Others argued that our target audience was not clear as we mentioned we believe there are two: females and males. What we mean by having a secondary audience of males aged 15-20 years old is we believe that they will also enjoy the video but solely for the fact that the video is going to include only females who are slightly going to sexualised for the male gaze.

The mood board we created to visually show the class our demographic audience which included: alcohol and the night club Tramps. Several people picked up on this saying this unrealistic and unsuitable to our audience but we argue it is not. Tramps hold nights for under 18's and we believe our song would play at this venue. I know many under 18's who drink and we specifically choose to present the drink drink Smirnoff,as we believe this is what C2/ D girls drink due to most of them being slightly 'chavy.'

A positive opinion someone gave was; "I like their research into the audience, the fact they incorporated the fashion trend idea is good. they got the audience spot on!" As we mentioned in our pitch our target audience will be: mainstreamers, aspires and materialists we thought that our music video could be influential so incorporating fashion into it will help create a image for the lead singer. Finally people also mentioned that the song correspond well with our target yet the music video idea does not which makes it very entropic; which brings me onto my next point.


Comments on originality of the idea

Me and Beccy want to produce a high standard music which incorporates both of our artistic and creative skills. When conducting synaesthesia we envisioned the 1940's pin-up girl concept which will have a balance of both entropy and redundancy which I thoroughly explored in my research. Overall nearly every comment we received was positive saying that our idea was new and exciting which I am extremely happy about but now I hope we can meet these high expectations.

Only one person stated that our concept is redundant but yet they did not state why and how we could make it more original and entropic but they did like our theme of 'Girl power.' What several people commented on was the fact that our song genre does not necessary fit our concept for our music video, some people liked this, others did not. I believe that the song does gel well with the idea; as it is sang by a woman, we want it to include a female and the title Hey Boy amplifies it, as it seems flirty and fun with a 'Girl power' theme. People liked our song choice as it if different to everyone else in the class, they said it was a: typical, cheesy pop song, "From listening to the song, although I think it is a bit cheesy, it will make an original video if you plan it out right."

The class particularly like the vintage and retro idea as it is unique and individual by using this era instead of modern and contemporary which is entropic and interesting for the song choice and video concept which someone quotes "You have a good/ clear view on entrophy and redundancy." Many people said our concept is new and original and love the fact we are going to interpret the male gaze differently by not over sexualising the females in the music video which is unusual for a stereotypical music video, as many contain half naked women such as: Gold Digger. We instead want to create the impression you can look but can't touch!

Some people thought the pin-up idea is quite original and entropic but someone did mention that this concept has been used before in Christina Aguilera's Candy man music video which we did mention. The Candy man video is rather redundant in relation to the song, as is illustrating the 1940's era which is similar to the song because it sounds like this song which would of played in those days. We agree that it sounds familiar and we do hope to create the same message that this video does; look but can't touch. In this video Christina is not overly sexualised but yet her confidence and playful oozes sex appeal, as she is very flirtation in this video but not over the top which could be seen as objectifying her.

Overall people said our video idea was: new, exciting, original, entropic and not what you would expect from a music video which is good as I did not to stick with stereotypical music video's as they are: boring, predictable and un-inspiring.


Thoughts on the logistical arrangements

This this was probably the weakest part of our pitch as I believe we were not clear on many things such as: location, transport and cast so many people had a lot of opinions. I mentioned that there is a photographers studio where I work which I have previously used for photography but we are not guaranteed that we will be able to use this, so at the moment we are search the Internet for local studio's which are for hire. People liked the fact are using a simple location and like us; they agreed that this would makes the production easier and achievable by sticking to one location. Simplicity is the word I would some sum up our music video yet it is effective. We will have a low budget to create a high standard music video but this will also be reflected in the video by having simplistic scene settings.

The mise en scene will be key to this video, as it is the overall look which could either make this video really effective or look extremely armature. To avoid this me and Beccy will have to practise with different lighting to create the desired atmosphere for each character. This I believe is achievable as we have access to high quality lighting and if we able to use a studio there will also be lighting equipment available for us to experiment with and use. I have worked with the lights before when producing my A2 Noir film which I practised with different filters to create different lighting, this knowledge will come in handy for our music video but I have to remember It is not going to be edited black and white so the lighting may be different.

Someone mentioned that it seems we have to much cinematography and this could cause difficulty for us. I do agree with this but I hope me and Beccy will work together and evenly spread the work between us so that we can create affective set ups and elaborate costumes. We will use appropriate props and costumes to create a different pin-up character which you will be able to identify by the whole mise en scene in the frame. I believe this is going to be difficult to achieve which someone else also mentioned, finding and gathering props maybe a slight problem. I have several retro belonging such as: suitcase and phone but other things we may need we will have to find. Transporting the props should not be too difficult if we are able to use the studio where I work as we could easily carry them there as I live 2 minutes away. If we do not use this studio I am sure either mine or Beccy's parents or friends will provide transport to get all the: props. costumes, equipment and cast to the location. We have several girls who are willing to be in our music video, we want 8-10 girls to feature in it. We will not film every girl either at the same time or day as they are all individual characters who do not interact with each other in the same frames so organising to get the girls does not seem too problematic just we need reliable and committed girls.

We explained the health and safety well and people said that it was clear. We talked about possible health and safety issues which could occur when in the production stage such as: cast twisting ankles in high heels, lifting heavy props and wires. Once we established possible safety issues we thought how we could avoid accidents from happening. When it comes to the production stage if we notice any more possible health and safety issues then we will come up with a solution how avoid accidents and inform one another as well as the cast so that the safety of everyone involved is being looked after.


Comments on the technical aspects of the idea- does it sound achievable with the college equipment?

I am confident using the college camera's as I have used them several times for both experimenting in AS and for my A2 film. I also do photography so this will help when thinking about what angle to use and how the composition will fit in the frame to create certain feelings. I fairly ok using Adobe Premiere Pro editing software but this is something I have to improve on.

I can do the basic editing but I will have to: 'mess around,' experiment and explore to see what this software is capable of doing. One thing we want to do is add: text, animation and maybe speech bubbles like in the Oh no video which we showed to the class. I am able to add text to shots but this basic I want cartoon style, me and Beccy will have to experiment with the software to create our desired look. Many people liked the idea of adding text to some of the shots this will be illustrative to the song and could make the video entropic and effective.

All this is achievable as we have access to tripods so the shots will be still but them we can edit them to either zoom in or out etc... as not pop video has shots which are completely stationary. We have access to the newest version of Premiere Pro so this will help us so much; as it is the editing which will make this video really fun and effective. It is a simplistic video with a low budget so we to focus on how we can make this video more professional looking, we talked about using various editing technique's such as: wipe edit and split screens this will add fun to the video but we know this editing is going to be very time consuming.


Overall, does the idea sound exciting and achievable?

At first when me and Beccy were creating a concept for our song we were not clear what we want our video to look like apart from the fact that it should emphasis 'Girl power.' After synaesthesia several times I came up with the concept of 1940's pin- up girls as the theme, I wanted to make the production to simplistic and focus on the mise en scene and editing. I believe me and Beccy can make a high standard music video as we work well together and combine ideas and communicate well with one another.

The overall feedback we gained were all very similar; people said that the idea is: entropic, original, interesting and achievable. They particularly like the test shoots we did of me and Beccy dressed in similar costumes we see our cast wearing; by doing this practise photographs it helped the class envision what we want to achieve and they seem positive maybe because they clearly show our idea of not over sexualising the cast but yet give the feeling you can look but can't touch.

Many stated they are excited and can not wait to see our music video due to the creativity and unexpectedness. By incorporating retro into this modern pop song is entropic which is in fashion at the moment which many people commented on. They also like the idea of: advanced, fun, quirky editing and all the different camera angles we are wanting to use; all is achievable but me and Beccy will have to learn more about the software. " It diffidently sounds like a music video as it is interesting and different but the amount of: people involved, editing techniques might make difficult and hard to achieve." This quote also summaries my opinion on our music video, it is going to take a lot of: research, dedication, experimenting and planning to achieve a high standard music video. I hope me and Beccy do as this could turn out to be a: fun, quirky and effective music video which showcases mine and Beccy's artistic and creative skills.

pitch


Me and Beccy want to produce a high standard music video for our pop/dance song; Hey boy. To do this we have created a pitch which we presented to the class what we envisioned our music video to look like and how it communicates to the demographic audience. Through out my research stage of this course work, I have analysed many music video's and learnt theory's associated with music video's. From this, me and Beccy have combined our gained Knowledge to create a clear pitch for our music video.

Andrew Goodwin says that a ‘music video is a response to the music’ – Baring this in mind Beccy and Me used Synaesthesia to try and envisage what our music video would look like. We shared and combined both of our ideas together, from this we have come up with a concept which we believe is strong for a music video which we have visually demonstration in the mood board.


We believe that our mood board communicates and represents our concept for what we want our music video to be like. We want the theme to incorporate 'GIRL POWER' through using various iconic 1940's pin up girls. We have included some pin up girls on our mood board which are examples of what we would like some of the models to look like. We plan to use 8-10 teenage girls to star in our production, and if not that many me and Beccy are willing to star in the music video as well, so far we have several girls willing to perform in our video which makes this idea promising. The mood board also includes a heading from Kanye West’s video Gold Digger, this is to show that we want to create similar titles and would love to be able to do something like this in the post production stages of our music video using Premiere Pro. We have also included pictures of props that we would like to include in our video such as: the milkshake, ice cream sundae, telephone, beach ball, hairbrush, curlers etc. We have included a picture of red lipstick and an eye with fake eyelashes on it, this is how me and Beccy envisage the make up the models we be wearing.


As I do art I thoroughly enjoy being creative, I want to incorporate this into our music video. I thought It would be good to create a few pin up looks to visually show the class what we see our cast will potentially look like. Preferably we would like to have 8-10 models in our video, this means we will have to come up with different characters for who I will create the style of. Our music video is to promote and create a image of our lead singers I thought sticking with the theme of pin up it would be fun to have the lead singer dress like Rosie; one of the most iconic pin up girls after the second world war. The pitch features me dressed similarly to Rosie but adding a modern twist to it; by wear: a red bandanna, black shirt with a popped collar. essentially my ideal appearance of the lead singer is a glam Rosie wearing: a pink bandanna and glitzy clothes as we believe it will look more contemporary and appeal more to our younger audience. We want her to be a strong looking woman, and we thought that the stereotypical ‘Rosie’ would be the ideal for our leading lady. We also included some other examples of what we would like our cast to look like. We definitely would like a sailor girl in our video which Beccy has beautifully demonstrated, as well as a more glamorous girl, like featured on the left. Other types of pin up girl that we would like are: Housewife, Mechanic, seductive and angelic; very much the stereotypical pin up girls.


Our pitch includes a slide where we have created a character profile of our audience. We believe our demographic audience are: white females aged 14-17. We also believe there is a secondary audience of males, aged 15-20 due to the male gaze of the slightly sexualised girls featured in the music video. We believe both our demographic audience and secondary audience would be C2/D on the jicnar scale. We believe they would be: hedonists, mainstreamers, aspires and materialists which I believe we have clearly communicated through the character profile mood board.


We loved the idea of focusing on the 1940’s theme and these were some of the women that came into our minds and have influenced us to develop our concept. Women like Kat Von D has influenced me as she has a very fun pin-up look and yet is more contemporary as she is heavily tattooed. I would compare her to a modern Rosie as she is a: strong, independent, successful business woman who is a great example of 'Girl Power.' Katy Perry is a very popular pop artist nowadays and also has that slight modern pin-up girl look with her raven black hair and quirky fashion sense. Dita Von Tease is probably one of the more traditional pin-up models, but we believe her style and grace is something we would look for when deciding how to dress our girls. I have mentioned Rosie who is a huge influence to us as she is one of the most iconic pin ups of the 1940’s, we believe that she has a huge influence on our video as I mentioned before. Finally it is not just music video's that have influenced us but also TV programmes such as: desperate housewives and Americans next top model. AMTM has even aired a episode where the girls modelled as pin up girls, the simple white studio and appropriate props has inspired me to keep the video simple as this can be affective.


Our music video is going to be a performance video, with some choreography and miming to the song all taking place in a studio setting. We want our music video to be quite artistic as this reflects both mine and Beccy's creative skills as well as quite low budget.


With reference from to Bathes' code our music video will refer to:

The Semantic Code (SEM)

This code refers to connotation within the story that gives additional meaning over the basic denotative meaning of the word.

It is by the use of extended meaning that can be applied to words that authors can paint rich pictures with relatively limited text and the way they do this is a common indication of their writing skills. With relatively limited text and the way they do this is a common indication of their writing skills.’
(http://changingminds.org/disciplines/storytelling/articles/barthesfivecodes.htm.)

Another theorist we looked at which is relevant to our music video research is Laura Mulvey; who In 1975 intruded the theory of the male gaze in cinema. Mulvey suggested there are two types of the male gaze:
  1. Voyeuristic- seeing women as as "whores"
  2. fetishistic- seeing women as "Madonna"
The male gaze is created by the way the camera interacts and portrays the woman, if sexual body parts such as: breasts, legs, bums and lips are concentrated on then the camera is creating voyeuristic gaze where women are seen as objects. Women who are seen as objects are often passive so it males in mainstream films/video's that are active and carry the narrative. From conducting this research we decided that do not want to associate our music video with scopophilia which is a sexual pleasure from looking at the girls in a video but more of " YOU CAN LOOK BUT CAN'T TOUCH" feel which creates a 'Girl power' bond. We will create this by not making our cast too sexual in costumes and the camera not objectifying the female body but instead focus on the fun aspect by using bust shots to focus on the expressions on their faces.


We have explored and created solutions for Health and Safety Issues we may occur when we are producing our music video, they are:
  • Loose wires, tape them down.
  • Heavy props, more than one person helping.
  • Tripping over tripods – Folded away when not in use.
  • High Heels, could cause ankle injury, remove when not in use.
  • Lighting, can be heavy, more than one person helping, break easily, only experience people should manage the lighting equipment.
I am sure when we are in the production stage we will establish more hazards which may occur, if we do we shall make sure: we are aware of them as well as the cast. We will come up with a health and safety plan so that everyone can avoid any accidents.

Overall I believe that our pitch did ran smoothly and I hope that the class understood our music video concept. If I could of improved anything it would be that me and Beccy should of thoroughly knew what we were going to say, as we did miss out important information like: we have several girls who are willing to star in our video and we should of presented my blog which includes a detailed presentation on Laura Mulvey. We have gained feed back from the class which I am going to create a separate blog for, as the feed back is important to us; negative or positive.

Research; Digi packs

Digipaks typically consist of a gatefold (book-style) paperboard or card stock outer binding, with one or more plastic trays capable of holding a CD or DVD attached to the inside. Since Digipaks were among the first alternatives to jewel cases to be used by major record companies,the term digipak or Digi-Pak is often used generically, even when the media holder is a hub or "Soft Spot" rather than a full plastic tray.

Digipak-style packaging is often used for CD singles or special editions of CD albums Because such packaging is less resistant to abrasion than jewel cases, it tends to show signs of wear relatively quickly.

Digipak-style cases grew in popularity among record labels and recording artists in the early 2000s.

Manufacturers have sought to reduce environmental impact and improve functionality by introducing recycled components into its trays; one has announced a 100% post-consumer PET tray made from recycled bottles,which also eliminates the need for the brittle "teeth". Many printers use recycled or sustainable material for the board stock.

Digipaks have many advantages and but also disadvantages:

  • Visually more appealing and striking as there are more sides to cover with photographs ect... and there are endless designs for them e.g. 4, 6... sides.
  • Digipaks are more exprensive than your traditional jewel CD, so you are investing mor into this product.
  • They do not crack like CD do which means they can last longer, but as some are made out of card they can become tatty looking: ripped, fold and split.
  • As some digipaks are made out of card there is less protection to the actual CD's and the 'teeth' holding them in when dropped or damaged they can break off and fall out meaning the tray in the digipak breaks easier.
  • They are more enviornmently friendly which is appealing to some people as they would rather buy a digipak than a plastic cased CD.

Finding an un-signed artist

As I have to produce a music video as part of my A2 media coursework it is essential I find a song and artist which I can produce one for. Essentially it is best to produce a music video for a local unsigned artist, as there are many perks to this such as; we can create a brand image, the audience do not know the artist so there is no certain expectations and as the song is unknown this means me and Becky can be creative and produce an entropic music video to the song.

To find an unsigned artist I first asked my friend Tammy if she had any tracks recorded but sadly she said she would not have any till January which would be too late for us. I thought about how I could find an unsigned band, then I thought place an advert on Facebook.

As you can see there were no response on the wall but I did receive a personal message from friend who he suggested to me a few weeks before. As well as me posting this message on my Facebook Becky did as well but she never received any replies.


To the left is the message I received from my friend Tom who suggested I looked at our friends band Emergency room. I faintly remember their sound which was; Alternative / Pop-Punk / New Waves but I could not remember any of their songs so I tracked them
After listening to all of their tracks they have on Facebook I decided that I did not want to produce a music video for this band and Becky also did not, as we believed this genre is not our strongest choice to produce a music video for as we did not feel that we could produce an high standard entropic music video for their band. Emergency room have also just been signed to a record label so this would have effected us they will have a video out soon.

Emergency room



With no success with Facebook me and Becky decided the best way we could find an unsigned artist was through MySpace. We set up an account in Becky's names and did intensive research to find a local, unsigned artist. When searching for an artist we looked at solo artists and bands from Worcester as we thought it would be a great opportunity for us to have the artist in the video. After hours of both me and Becky searching through all the artist from Worcester on MySpace we had no luck finding any decent songs so we decided to do a wider search and look and other artists further a field as it was more important that we are inspired by a song rather than thinking about the artist.


I started adding artist as my friends on MySpace who I and Becky were fond of. We had a mixture of signed and unsigned artists as you can see from the print screen to the right, we had well known artists such as; Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus. The reason why we had included these is because we loved songs by them which did not have a music video for but when thinking about what I said earlier in this blog which was if we used a signed, well known artist they have already got a brand image and expectations for their music video's, so in the end me and Becky knew as much as we were inspired by their songs it just was not practical to produce a music video for their songs.
We continued to look through MySpace for our artist, at this stage our genre seened to be indie/ folk music, as we believed that we could produce a high standard music video once we listened to the music, as Andrew Goodwin argued that a music video is a response to the music.




After intensive research I came across Liz Lawrence from Birmingham/ Devon, South United Kingdom. Liz music is; Acoustic / Pop / Folk. I played some of tracks Liz has on MySpace page to Becky and she also liked her music. We particularly like the track Monday Morning, we sat and listened to the track several times and did synaesthesia, the first images that came into my head was a girls waking up and does a daily routine which sounds boring at first but then I built upon this idea and thought it would be stop motion animation to make it more entropic. As we both liked this song and were inspired we decide to email Liz Lawrence.

To the left is a print screen of the message me and Becky sent to Liz Lawrence asking her if it was possible for us to produce a music video for the song Monday Morning as part of our A2 course work. We received a message from Liz the next day as you can see. Sadly though she said we were unable to use her song as she has just been signed and her manger does not want us to produce a music video because firstly the track has not been released and secondly there is no official video yet for it. We were not sure to ask if we could use a different track but as she has no music videos we assume the manger would say the same.

We continued to look at other indie artists but we had no luck. We liked the idea of the pop music which we were inspired by the Monday Morning track so we decided that maybe we should search for a pop song. once again we did intensive search through the pop genre on MySpace, finally I found a song and artist I believed me and Becky were looking for.




To the left is Tiffany Queen an unsigned solo artist from the United States, her genre of music is; Pop / Electro / Techno.

Tiffany Queen was born in St. Petersburg, Florida and raised in Detroit, Michigan. American pop singer-songwriter, dancer, model, occasional actress, author and executive producer; best known for her powerful voice, studio album, music video and dance songs! Tiffany completed her CD “Royalty,” independently produced her music video “Body Rock” which was done at club Elysium, in Detroit, MI. Tiffany is selling on Cdbaby.com, I tunes and Many more.


I listened through some of tracks she displayed on her Myspace and then played some track to Becky who also liked the music. What we both like is the cheesiness of the music and we believed that once we got our song and synaesthesed we would be able to produce and cheesy pop music video but add our creativity and twists to the stereotypical pop video's.


To the right is a print screen of the message me and Becky sent to Tiffany asking for her permission if we could use one of songs to produce a music video for. We got a reply the next day from Tiffany:


"YES!!!!! I would love it!!! You are so sweet and beautiful!!!!"


So we now have permission from an artist to use one of her songs, we continued to look through her album and we both have decided that the song we want to produce a music video for is titled 'Hey Boy.' It is a very 'dancy'/ club song and we believe that we can produce a high standard music video for this song, to do this we now have to do research into music videos which is a similar genre to our song and also conduct synaesthesia.
