Plan Alternative videos and ideas

Add a twist or an unexpected element to the video

Mise En Scene Ideas

Costume: we will be using quite provocative costume such as what rihanna wears in her current music videos. e.g. short skirts, dresses, skinny jeans, heels, lots of makeup etc.

Lighting: we will use dark, seductive lighting, mainly either at night or using black out blinds for in the dance studio or black card etc.

Filters And Effects

Our video will include many different effects, including filters to make the video feel more realistic, and more professional. Because our song is uptempo, we want to include flashing lights, and dimmed lights to make the artists face look better, and more windswept. We will use a fan to make the artist's hair appear swept back, and use effects combined with this to make her look like a glamour model, and more appealing to wide audience.

Things we need:

'Bouncer' : someone beefy.

'DJ' : Georgia?

Loads of people: facebook event?

Nice car and driver: tbc

Lights (differnt colours etc): tbc

Music (someones ipod): anyone

Bubbles? tbc

Fog machine? tbc

Sexy costumes: everyone
Signs: to be made by us in lesson?
Posters?

Shot ideas.

These are a few shot ideas of our locations.

This is the door behind the sports hall- it will be the entrance door to our club as it is easy to pull a car up to it too.

 Another shot of the 'entrance' door.

 This is the door to the dance studio, there were people in a lesson so we couldnt get a picture of the inside of it. we may consider other lpcations for the dancing though as the floor of the dance studio is quite slippery.

This may be our althernative dance area (without chairs)

There are room dividing curtains to we wouldnt have to get as many people to fill up the 'club'. 

There are 'nightclub,' rope thingys in the main hall that we could use outside the 'club,' letting people in with a bouncer. 

Maybe a shot on the stairs? 

More Shots

these shots are also going to be used in our video, featuring various extras and close up shots. They are taken from "On The Floor" by Jennifer Lopez.

Mise En Scene - Shots etc.

This shot taken from Ciara's "Like A Boy" music video, uses this shot a few times throughout. The background of the dance sequence is inspiring because we aim to use a similar dull background for our club scenes. In these scenes, there wont be a choreographed dance sequence but instead just people clubbing.

Editing

For our final video, most of our shots will be edited with effects, because it gives a visual look and it helps to create and improve the atmosphere of the video which then influences the audience to get hooked onto the video and see it in a club perspective. This shot taken from J-Status and Rihannas song "Roll It" has been edited to give a club atmosphere to it, and is influencing what we want to do in our video.

Still Shots

These shots are stills from a recent party we attended, these shots that were taken are inspiring to our video because they replicate what we are trying to achieve in our video.

inspiration

the jay sean 'ride it' video is a huge inspirtation as it contains elements of the type of style we would like to use
it also contains shots and exact angles we have considerd in our video we therfore take jay seans video as a template as the story line of a club scene is similar to ours and leads a similar storyline and narrative just with a change of a female role instead of a male role. here are a few shots we have been inspired by. We will use the exact shots as these and interpret them into our work in our own style.

This is the video the shots are taken from, which includes a club-feel to it which is inspiring to our video.

Classification

After studying the BBFC website, and looking at other related music videos, we have decided that our video for "Bubble Pop" would be classified as a PG, based on the artist "flaunting her body" in the video. We don't think the video should be classified as a 12 or more because there is no sexual, violence or drug related content in the video.

Idears Continued

More ideas we have for our video:

- Our target audience is aimed at the younger clubbing generation ( for Rihanna Bubble Pop)
-Or all ages, but mainly teenagers (Lady Gaga Second Time Around)
-We want our video to look professional, so we will use many different shots, quickly snapping for Rihanna or Slowly for Lady Gaga.

Storyboards

Our plans for when to shoot etc.

We plan to shoot our video on a tuesday between the times of 10:30 and 12:20.
During this time we will film the inside shots, of the dance studio.
We will start getting ready at 9:00, for the video to start filming at about half 10..

We will need:
- to ask to use the dance studio
- Use the speaker in the studio
- Bring an AUX lead to connect an ipod to the speakers
- enough people to film the video to look like a club
- Costumes, people to wear club outfits,
-

Possible shots

Close up of lead singer's face.
Medium shots of lead singer including people dancing.
Long shots of random people dancing and catching bubbles.
Shots of bursting bubbles.
Close ups of high heels.
Medium shots of girls driving car.
Close up of a girl's high heels stepping out of the car.
Shots of 'security guards' at the back doors of Long Road gym.

Mise En Scene

possible costume ideas:

rihaana wears alot of abstract clothing in her videos which shows her style and sense of fashion through her music. she also has vibrant colours used in her videos and example of this is SnM music video. we therefore have decided to use this inspiration and create a whole new look but use the original ideas and make it our own. we therefore will use the similar costumes however we will add our own inspiration to create a refreshing look based on the locations and set designs.

For our final choice we have decided to go with our original second choice of rihanna's "bubble Pop". We have decided to do this song because we have more ideas for it, and we can make the video seem more appealing.  we have also the right plan for the video we have a general idea and focus aim for the video. today we will look at other rihanna videos to enhance her normal style and learn and get influenced from the normal direction of rihanas normal videos. we therefore will gain inspiration to adapt to our own video. here are a few example of rihaanas normal videos however one thing we have learnt is that her video trends have chanaged over the years depending on the youtube of music genre and narrative used in the video

Rihanna Bubble Pop lyrics

Don,t you think it strange all the range I,m making up
Sugar, sweetest smack of candy cane melted in your mouth
...make it rough
Once I show you how you,ll never get enough

[Chorus]
I got my bubble, hey, I got my bubble, hey hey
I got my bubble, yeah, I make my bubble pop
I got my bubble, hey, I got my bubble, hey hey
I got my bubble, yeah, I make my bubble pop

For you I,ll make it pop
For you for you
I,ll make it pop
For you I,ll make it pop

But don,t be afraid of the way I tantalize
Speaky of a touch of my gloss and you can,t speak
pour a glass and I,ll give you some
of my tasty cake you love so much

[Chorus]
I got my bubble, hey, I got my bubble, hey hey
I got my bubble, yeah, I make my bubble pop
I got my bubble, hey, I got my bubble, hey hey
I got my bubble, yeah, I make my bubble pop

For you I,ll make it pop
For you for you
I,ll make it pop
For you I,ll make it pop

Lady Gaga lyrics

Oh oh oh yeah
Babe

Last time I thought we had this talk
Boy you were getting ready to leave
I thought that baby you were done
Cause for a while you could barely look at me

This time I thought that we'd be fine
That I'd forget the things that you said
I tried crossing out your words

But baby you can not forget the past
Oh oh oh oh babe
Can not forget the past
Oh oh oh oh, Still baby (Babe)

I'm so unpredictable
You don't know what to think
So unemotional
Wonder if I'm even still in love
You see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm so unpredictable
Just like you used to be
So unemotional
Boy I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder
The second time around

The second time around

We tried going back to Joe's
That always was our favourite place
Long rides baby by the coast
Do you remember where we stayed

Last time we where hanging out
You were acting kind of strange
Now it's the second time around
I'm sorry now it's me that feels this way
Oh oh oh oh babe
(My heart just speaks to me)
It's me that feels this way
Oh oh oh babe

I now you are the one that is hurting
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lady_gaga/second_time_around.html ]
I'm so unpredictable
You don't know what to think
So unemotional
Wonder if I'm even still in love
You see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm so unpredictable
Just like you used to be
So unemotional
Boy I can't forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder
The second time around

I'm not sure the best way to say this
But I can't pretend to love you no more babe
This ferris wheel's got me crazy
Maybe the second time around is not meant for us babe
Not meant for us babe hey-yeah!

I'm so unpredictable
You don't know what to think
So unemotional
Wonder if I'm even still in love
You see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm so unpredictable
Just like you used to be
So unemotional
Boy I can forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder
The second time around

I'm so unpredictable
You don't know what to think
So unemotional
Wonder if I'm even still in love
You see
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder the second time around

I'm so unpredictable
Just like you used to be
So unemotional
Boy I can forget the way you were with me
I don't know what to tell you now
It's always harder
The second time around

The second time around

More Pitch Ideas

Lady Gaga
Some more ideas to feature in our video include panning shots of the singer in slow verses. These shots would rush past the singers face while still keeping her in the shot.
Our video would be inspired by this video.


Rihanna
We will do a dance sequence for this song with several dancers. This video's dance sequence is inspiring to our video.


Another video which inspires are is this one, as we would film various shots of people at a party and the after-party, drinking, falling over, just the atmosphere at a party. We would create a montage of different shots.

Rihanna- bubble pop song pitch ideas

• Our initial ideas for our second choice of Rihanna Bubble Pop, include shots in a club, people drinking, throwing up, falling over, and having a good time.
• This screen shot from rihannas song don't stop the music is our inspiration for our video. 

• some other idea's for the video would include close ups shots of the singer and Fatihma as the lead singer. The other members of the group would be backing dancers in the club.
• The costumes would be smart casual clothing, and the lead singer would wear trousers and a boob tube.
• The narratives feature the singer getting ready to go out. then she goes to the club, and the rest of the video features abstract images of various shots on the night out.
• the track is a club friendly song so we believe a club video would suit it best.

Pitch for Lady Gaga song

Here is a list of some ideas that we have if we were to get the song:

• we would film quite a sad video with a black and white theme. it may be filmed in a bedroom, with pillows, curtains etc.
• another idea is to film the video with lots of close ups of a woman in heavy monochrome makeup crying.
• props and costume ideas: connor will be nude. heavy makeup and eccentric costumes that fit the song. 
• genre: pop/r&b slow.  This shot below of Lady Gaga is our inspiration.
• 

Second Song Choice - Rihanna Bubble Pop

Our second choice is Rihannas Bubble Pop, which will be filmed at a party, capturing shots of a house party with people parting, drinking etc. it will be filmed as a personal video, like being filmed on a mobile phone. the costumes will be what people are wearing at the party. these will be mixed with shots of a dance sequence featuring a lead singer as Rihanna. the shots would be sped up, including fast paced shots and would use a fisheye effect on these shots, to show a dark ring around the edge to give it texture. We would also use a darker feel on these shots.

Song choice - Lady Gaga - Second Time Around

We have chosen Lady Gaga's Second Time Around as our music video track. we have chosen this song because it is a slow sensual song and we think we could make a good music video with our ideas, which relate to the song, its lyrics and genre. The song is perfect for our group because Connor will be lady gaga, and we plan to have a monochrome feel to the video using grey tones, which fit in with the feel of the song. We plan to use a bedroom location for some of the scenes which show the artist laying on the bed and being filmed at different angles. the slow feel to the song makes it ideal for a slow video featuring interrelated with the rest of the video in between close-up shots of the singer. We will film the video scenes over and over, taking various different shots of the bed scenes and mixing them together. In between these shots will be a story-line featuring a woman crying in a mirror and breaking up with a boyfriend. the costumes.

Goodwin Analysis

Rihanna - Cheers (Drink To That)

Live performance, fun song, mixed with clips of her life - reality mxed in with performance. Real clips taken on phones, small cameras etc. Genre - fun song, r'n'b
Lyrics about having a good time and not looking back, visuals include clips of parties, charity work, dresses up for parade
song is uptempo fun, loud, chilled lyrics, with a laidback video
few close ups of rihanna on the beach. smiles in the close ups - reoocur across her work
snapping scenes - shots of performance mixed in with reality clips. funny scenes and jokes scenes.
voyervistic treatment - rihanna shows flesh
sexual refrences - showing skin


Beyonce - 1+1

Genre - slow, r'n'b, jam
Slow dance routine, female, joined by male dancers
slow lyrics and slow shots. dramatic feel, waterfalls
slow song fills in with slow dramatic shots of beyonce against a waterfall.
lots of close ups against waterfall, close ups used throughout work.
sexualised video. refrences to sex with shots with male dancers. water used to emphasize sex appeal

Analysis of student music video - 2.

The second video we analyzed is this one.  we think this video is creative, and includes different shots including dancing, street shots and it genereally fits into the "strangeness" of the song. The video is unique in including little or no lip synching and including a lot of narrative and dance sequences. It includes many extras used in the dance shots in the video, and parts of it were also filmed on the streets. `the song itself is uptempo, but chilled back, and fits in with the genre behind the video. 

Analysis of student videos - 1.

This video we find intresting, as it includes small parts of dialogue, many shots and fits into the stereotype of a typical rock video. The video, from a few years ago is filmed in a barn, which fits into the feel of the song, and it works with the video, which includes several shots of people destroying things, relating to the angry feel of the song. It also includes a rewind at the end of the song which also looks good and makes the video look diffrent and unique.
