Rough Cut (Old Idea)

Here is our old idea with Kathryn playing the role of Lucy Star. We just quickly placed the shots together as we felt that we know need to begin re-shooting our new idea. The lighting here is quite dark and the concept comes across quite slowly, which is not what we wanted as it seems quite confusing the audience and not an obvious idea which we wanted them to notice.

New Idea!!

Now we have decided to to the whole re-shoot we thought we should compromise the storyline of our music video. So now, just so it comes across clearer to an audience we have decided to keep the charity shop scene and now change the 'cloning' scene to the girls all in bedroom, just like a sleepover all having fun
'Charity Shop Scene'
- Drama room costume cupboard
- Main character (Lucy Star) - Now played by Kirstie
- Make use of the different costumes in the cupboard and bring in our own clothes which we could use as 80's fashions.
'Sleepover Scene'
- Girl's bedroom
- Face masks, PJ's, different wardrobe full of clothes
- Lucy Star (Kirstie) and other girl's as her friends.
(Also shown in the Pitch (Take two) we will film this scene like Sex And The City and Grease.

Linking Our Idea to Andrew Goodwin;

A criticism of our pitch was that we should link our idea to the music video theory by Andrew Goodwin.

1) "Music video's demonstrate genre characteristics." The first setting of our video is in a Charity shop, this shows the type of shops that Lucy Star prefers and would typically shop in. The second shows her creating havoc on the catwalk by rebelling against the 'clones'. This shows that she is against people copying one another and following the crowd of mainstream fashion, showing her with a care-free personality and not worrying what other think of her.

2) "There is a relationship between lyrics and visuals." In the charity shop and on the catwalk shows Lucy Star doing what she wants to do, just enjoying herself and having an enjoyable time, "Girl's Just Want To Have Fun."

Feedback From Pitch 11/11/10

Our group pitched to the class today with the powerpoint previously posted on my blog. Below are parts that worked, didn't work and just suggestions that the class made. Each group had a sheet to write feedback on and we have collected it and wrote it below;

Parts the class thought were good/appropriate;
-Characters well planned
-2 easy locations
-Shows Lucy’s identity
-The changing room scene
-Song matches her characterises
-Clever idea about cloning machine
-80’s style for artist

Things they think we should develop or change;
-Confusing storyboard (Too simple)
-Think about the way you have used media language and link to Goodwin’s theory
-Need to find charity shop
-How are you doing the catwalk
-How would you film in the charity shop

Elements they think need more work on;
-Do you have permission for a charity shop
-How will the catwalk be shot and made

Moodboard Animato

This is our storyboard that we drew out roughly to base our idea on. A critcism when we pitched our idea was that the storyboard was confusing. I think this is because the drawings are quite simple and basic. When our idea is more clear and we've planned furter, we may build on top of the storyboard just to make it more clear to anyone looking at it. The basic outline is; Lucy Star in the charity shop changing room, her mum rings her - Leads into catwalk show.

This was our pitch for the music video which we presented to the class. Our only criticism was to show how our video would link with Andrew Goodwin's Music Video Analysis.

Moodboard For Music Video

This is the moodboard we created to show our music video idea's. It includes the two opposites in which we are basing our music video on.
-On the one side we have Lucy Star's personality and her inspirations. It includes her musical tastes (Lady GaGa & Florence, from Florence and the Machine.) Also as our video is based on a fashion show and the catwalk we included her fashion tastes (Charity Shops & Vintage clothing.)
- On the other side (and her complete opposite) is the whole 'Wag' personality. It includes celebrities such as Cheryl Cole which ae associated with being fake (from the fake tan to hair extensions etc.)
The moodboard is to put across our idea of Lucy Star being an opposite to what other people are trying to make themselves to be in society. The whole idea shows Lucy Star as her own person and being an individual.

Simlilar Music: Natalie Cole Wild Women Do

When performing the song 'Wild Women Do' Natalie Cole is shown to be a strong and independent woman. She drive's her own car and is dressed to impress in smart clothing. The other girls playing the instruments are shown to be dressed in skimpy clothing, which reflects one of Andrew Goodwin's theories that voyeurism is used to attract viewers to the video particularly male's who are viewing women in a voyeuristic way. Some of the lyrics also portray the image of independence such as, 'You tell me you want a woman who's as simple as a flower.
Well if you want me to act like that, You'd better pay me by the hour'. Showing to the audience the message she is trying to get across that she is not like all those other women, she works and she doesn't want to be a clone of everyone else. Also when saying 'Wild Women Do and they don't regret it' shows she doesn't care what other people think. They way she also looks into the camera and her actions, aren't aggressive but show that she can stand up for herself and isn't scared to speak her mind. The song was also used in the credit for 'Pretty Woman' which is a romantic comedy that shows Julia Robert's playing Vivian Ward who is a prostitute. I think this song shows in independence, and works with this film, as it shows a woman will always try and support herself even if it means like the story of 'Pretty Woman'.

Digipack Analysis

Digipaks.

Digipaks are made usually from paper or cardboard. They consist of plastics holders which are capaple of holding up to a CD and a DVD inside. The packaging is used for CD singles being released, special CD edition packs or holding a CD and DVD all in one package.
It grew popular in the early 2000's with artists and producers as the normal jewel case would crack easier than a digipak case.
AGI (The registered owners) have now created the digipak i-create. It is a web supported concept that is aimed at the download, music, photo and creative markets. One of the most recent albums having a digipak only release is 'Teenage Dream' by Katy Perry.

Audience Profile for Lucy Star

Similar Music: Madonna Material Girl

Material Girl by Madonna was released on January 30th 1985 by Sire records. At the beginning we are shown two men watching her performing on a cinema screen, criticising how big of a star she is. This shows the aspect of men looking at women, and looking at their bodies, like she is something to be looked upon. Again, we see another man looking in on a woman, who is on the phone- the colours show alot of pink and red, conotating love and maybe danger. The connotation of danger could be used in these scene, as the man has obviously been let down by the female, showing his pain. When it opens out onto Madonna performing the song, The pink and red again plays a big part part again, she is acting flirty and feminine, with a group of men surrounding her, and playing along with her flirtiness. She plays along with each of these men for their 'material possesions' which shows the danger as she goes along of hurting them, as she goes from one man to another (red connotations.) At the end, showing Madonna in white and with white flowers, shows although she likes her material possesions, deep down the simpler things make her most happiest and content (White - pure, real.) The whole image for the video was taken from Marilyn Monroe's performance in 'Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend'.
