OUR MUSIC VIDEOOLIVIA, SOPHIE AND FRANKIE

OUR BANDWe have decided to create a girl group. So everyone in our group (3 girls) are going to be performing and featured in the video (Liv, Frankie and Sophie).

Our audience is young teenage girls aged 11-16, they are going to be the typical mainstream teenager into chart music and fun lively colours. We decided to go with this audience because our band inspiration is M.O, Fifth Harmony and Little Mix as their music is very similar and we liked their individual styles. As the genre of our music is pop our audience is going to be younger and mainly female, we have agreed that we should go for a more innocent yet edgy look, this consists of us all having our own styles (Diva, Edgy and Girly). This allows the teenage audience to relate to the band and to express their individuality.

M.O Little Mix Fifth Harmony

BAND NAMEOur band name is ‘Sweet Nothings’. We chose this name because we wanted something the went with our ‘pop’ image but also had its own edgy vide. We wanted something memorable so we are easily recognisable by a large number of people

We were playing around with different ways to present our band name in order to create the right atmosphere.

THE SONG:‘Light Me Up’ by a band called Parade

This song is quite cheesy, this is simply because it is very upbeat, and overly enthusiastic. To us it sounds very ‘teenage pop’ so we are going to have to recreate this atmosphere visually and think about what our audience wants. Our video is going to be performance and narrative. The narrative will include a group of friends having fun and a group of boys in the same location, the boys will interested in the girls (visually) and try and catch our attention. The girls sing about not being interested and just wanting to have fun, this is reflected visually as they tease the boys.

LOCATION 1We are going to use Miya Nightclub because we are fortunate that Sophie’s auntie is a manager there so can gain us access to film in such a great location which gives our video a lot of potential to be successful.

MUSIC VIDEO INSPIRATION FOR THE CLUB

Selena Gomez- I want you to know Karen Harding- Say Something

NEON/ LIGHTS THEMEIn some shots we want to make neon a strong theme. We are going to use the UV lighting and wear glow in the dark paint and lipstick in designs like these:

These will be medium and close up shots of us 3 individually singing our lines in the verses. We are all going to have our own colour theme for the paint to make us look edgy with our own identity in the group.

LOCATION 2We are going to use an outside location in the dark but we will use glow sticks because this fits with our colourful neon theme. In these shots we are not going to do any lip syncing because this will not be very successful due to it being dark so seeing one of our lips moving won’t be very clear. Therefore these shots will just be of us dancing and other people around us to make it look like we are all having fun with friends. We are going to wear light clothing so it is easier for the camera to identify the people even though we will be wearing glow bands. We will also aim to hang fairy lights in the background.

LOCATION 3We are going to use a green screen for some shots and also to use effects and show off our editing skills! We will be lip syncing in these shots and wear different outfits to the other scenes and we will also focus on our make up.

These shots are going to be influenced by a music video called Lush Life by Zara Larsson.
