Today we pitched our ideas to the rest of the class, we hadn't yet cut down our song choices to just two so we decided to pitch all four songs but with more or less the same video concept:
We really like the idea of lights; neon, bright and bold. We have taken some inspiration from these images. We really like the idea of having a field full of lights so the artists look like a silhouette.
We have decided we will be a girl band, so we will again take some inspiration from girl bands like these:
We are thinking of filming quite a lot of the video in Miya nightclub in Chelmsford high street as Sophie's aunt owns it so that gives us easy access and enables up to use strobe lighting. We will use various parts of the club and another location will be the field. Overall we want a mix or narrative and performance, but the narrative will most likely be separate from the band.
One of our song choices is by a band, however only one vocalist is used, we really like the song but we are more set in the idea of being a band so if we do chose this song then we will have to consider how to make the two people who aren't singing not look awkward or have people question why they are there.
We have looked at two music videos so far that appeal to us to take inspiration from, these are 'Say Something' by Karren Harding and Zedd 'I want you to know' ft Selena Gomez. Both are set in a club with strobe, neon lighting.
